Regular Dealer Maintenance

Never stop the cooling system by shutting off the main power.

If the main power to your air conditioner is ever disconnected for more than three hours, turn off the thermostat. Then wait for at least three more hours after the power has been restored before turning the thermostat back on. Failure to follow this procedure could result in damage to your air conditioning system.

1.GENERAL INSPECTION – Examine the furnace installation for the following items:

a.All flue product carrying areas external to the furnace (i.e. chimney, vent connector) are clear and free of obstruction.

b.The vent connector is in place, slopes upward and is physically sound without holes or excessive corrosion.

c.The return air duct connection(s) is physically sound, is sealed to the furnace and terminates outside the space containing the furnace.

d.The physical support of the furnace should be sound without sagging, cracks, gaps, etc., around the base so as to provide a seal between the support and the base.

e.There are no obvious signs of deterioration of the furnace.

The following warning complies with State of California law, Proposition 65.

! WARNING

Hazardous Gases!

Exposure to fuel substances or by-products of incomplete fuel combustion is believed by the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.

2.BLOWERS – The blower size and speed determine the air volume delivered by the furnace. The blower motor bearings are factory lubricated and under normal operating conditions usually do not require servicing. Annual cleaning of the blower wheel and housing is recommended for maximum air output, and this must be performed only by a qualified servicer or service agency.

! WARNING

Unit is equipped with a blower door switch which cuts power to blower and gas valve causing shutdown when door is removed. Unit must not be altered to allow opera- tion with the blower door removed. Operation with doors removed or ajar can permit the escape of dangerous fumes. All panels must be securely closed at all times for safe operation of the furnace.
