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.
The furnace and venting system require a generous amount of clean air to operate safely. Lack of adequate combustion and ventilation air can result in erratic operation of the burner, noisy and poor combustion, sooting of the combustion chamber, and fuel odors in the air. Never block off or restrict the supply of air to the furnace.
The combustion air for your furnace must be fresh unconta- minated air. Paints, varnishes, laundry bleaches, detergents, 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 deteriora- tion. Do not store these types of products near your furnace.
Never store gasoline, combustible materials, or other flammable liquids or vapors near your furnace.
