IMPORTANT FACTS
The flow of combustion and ventilating air must not be obstructed from reaching the furnace. Air openings provided in the casing of the furnace must be kept free of obstructions which would restrict airflow, thereby affecting efficiency and safe operation of your furnace.
Also, air openings provided to the area in which the furnace is installed and the space around the furnace shall not be blocked or obstructed. Keep this in mind should you choose to remodel the area which contains your furnace. If additional insulation is added after the furnace is installed, the area around the furnace must be inspected to ensure it is free and clear of insulation. If this furnace is installed in an attic or other insulated space it must be kept free and clear of all insu- lating materials as some insulating materials are combustible.
Furnaces must have air for proper performance. There must be a free flow of fresh air sufficient for efficient combustion and safe ventilation of your furnace.
The combustion air for your furnace must be fresh uncon- taminated air. Paints, varnishes, laundry bleaches, deter- gents, many household cleaners, water softening salts, adhesives, and all such products release fumes containing compounds which could lead to early heat exchanger and vent system deterioration. Do not store these types of products near your furnace.
Never store gasoline, combustible materials, or other flam- mable liquids or vapors near your furnace.
Carbon monoxide, fire or smoke can cause serious bodily injury, death, and/or property damage.
