HOW YOUR GAS

FURNACE WORKS

Your furnace is a very easy appli- ance to take for granted. Season after season, it sits there in your home, keeping you warm and com- fortable. For this reason, you may never have given much thought to the way your furnace operates. In order to get the safest and most efficient operation from your fur- nace, though, you should under- stand how your furnace does its job.

When you set your thermostat to provide more heat in your home, you are starting the heating cycle of the furnace. First, the inducer motor starts to purge the heat exchanger of any remaining gas- ses. Next, the hot surface ignitor glows and after a warm--up period the gas valve opens and ignition occurs. A short time later the blower starts and distributes the warm air throughout the home. When the temperature set on your thermostat is reached, the gas valve closes, the main burners are turned off, and the blower contin- ues to run until the remaining warm air in the system is distributed. When the blower stops, the heating cycle has ended.

KEEP THE FURNACE

AREA CLEAR

NEVER . . . use the area around your furnace as a storage area for items which could block the normal flow of air. This flow of air is required for ventilation of the vari- ous furnace components.

WARNING

Do not block or obstruct air openings:

1.On the furnace.

2.Air openings communicating with the air in which the fur- nace is installed.

3.The spacings around the fur- nace.

NEVER. . . store flammable materi- als of any kind near your furnace. Gasoline, solvents, and other vola- tile liquids should be stored only in approved containers outside your home. These materials vaporize easily and are extremely danger- ous.

NEVER. . . store cleaning materials near your furnace. Materials such

as bleaches, detergents, powdered cleansers, etc., can cause corro- sion of the heat exchangers.

WARNING

[

Insulating materials may be flammable.

When a furnace is installed in an attic or other insulated space, or if insulation is added, exam- ine the furnace area to ensure that the furnace is kept clear and free of insulation.

START-UP & SHUT-

DOWN - GENERAL

INSTRUCTIONS

Read and follow these procedures CAREFULLY and COMPLETELY.

Before attempting to start your fur- nace, always do the following things FIRST:

ïTurn the thermostat OFF.

ïOpen windows or make other provisions to ventilate the area around the furnace.
