Proper Maintenance – Gas Furnaces

Air filters may also be located outside of the furnace using a remote filter grille. The filter grille could be in a hallway, wall, or in the ceiling. Check with your dealer for the exact location of your filter and the method of changing the filters.

Downflow/Horizontal furnaces are factory supplied with 2 standard size permanent type air filters which may be located remote to the furnace or in the return air duct. Check with your dealer for the location of your filters.

 

A downflow/horizontal furnace return air filter application, as

 

shown, features two 14" x 20" x 1" filters in the 17-1/2" wide

 

furnace cabinets; or two 16" x 20" x 1" filters in the 21" and

 

241/2" wide furnace cabinets.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

DO not attempt to change the venting system. Failure to follow the installation and operation instructions for the venting system’s operation could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.

NOTE: Improperly sized vents can cause the formation of condensate, combustion gas leakage and spillage, and an inoperable furnace.

A furnace is not a household appliance. It is complex and requires professional maintenance and repair. Attempts at “do-it-yourself” repairs on an in-warranty unit may void the remainder of your warranty.

Other than performing the simple maintenance recommended in this manual, you should not attempt to make any adjustments to your furnace. Your dealer will be able to take care of any questions or problems you may have. A periodic inspection of your furnace should be made by a qualified service agency at the start of each heating season.

In the event that electrical, fuel, or mechanical failures occur, immediately turn the gas supply off at the manual gas valve located on the gas pipe leading to the furnace before turning off electrical power to the furnace. Contact a qualified service agency.

Keep your furnace looking like new for years.

Clean the enamel finish of your furnace with ordinary soap and water. For stubborn grease spots, use a household detergent. Lacquer thinner or other synthetic solvents may damage the finish.
