!CAUTION

CUTS AND ABRASION HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in mi- nor personal injury.

Although special care has been taken to mini- mize sharp edges, be extremely careful when handling parts or reaching into the furnace.

FILTERING OUT TROUBLE

Dirty air filters will cause a loss of airflow in your duct system. When excessive loss of airflow occurs, the fur- nace may cycle on its safety controls. If this condition is left unattended, the furnace will eventually lock out. It is recommended that the furnace air filters be checked every 3 or 4 weeks and cleaned or replaced as necessary.

!CAUTION

UNIT OVERHEAT HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to the furnace blower motor, over heat the heat exchanger and reduce the effi- ciency.

Never operate your furnace without the air fil- ters in place.

The air filters are located in the blower compartment installed in an internal filter rack which is provided as standard equipment with furnace. (See Fig. 2.) To
