6.D KEEP AIR FILTER(S) CLEAN

As a user, your personal responsibility is to keep air filter(s) clean.

CAUTION

A dirty air filter(s) reduces system efficiency and can cause erratic control performance. These could result in damage to blower motor or heat exchanger.

1.During the first four weeks after your furnace is installed, inspect your air filter(s) for dirt every week. Then check the filters monthly and replace as necessary.

2.If the filter(s) is of a washable type, clean filter(s) according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

WARNING

After cleaning or changing filter(s), filter access must be closed and latched. Failure to do so could cause nausea, asphyxiation, or fire resulting in damage, injury or death.

6.E DO NOT OBSTRUCT DUCT WORK

For proper operation, keep registers and return air grilles open. Do not cover or block them with rugs, carpets, drapes or furniture.

6.F HAVE YOUR FURNACE CHECKED ANNUALLY

The furnace, vent terminal, and the combustion air intake hood should be inspected yearly by a qualified service agency, generally prior to the heating season. Detailed procedures for this inspection are contained in the instructions booklet and should be handled by the qualified service agency only.

A general inspection of the furnace, the furnace area and the vent terminal should be conducted on a regular basis by the owner/occupant. This review should include:

1.Make sure the furnace always has the minimum clearance as detailed on the

furnace rating plate. Special attention must be given to these items if any remodeling is done.

2.Make sure the vent terminal is in place and is physically sound.

3.Reviewing that the return air duct connection(s) is physically sound, is sealed to the furnace casing.

4.The physical support of the furnace is sound without sagging, cracks, gaps, etc. around the unit so as to provide a seal between the unit and the structure.

5.Inspect for any obvious signs of deterioration of the furnace.

6.Periodic examinations of the vent terminal should also be conducted by the owner on a regular basis, preferably every month but at least every two months during the heating season.

7.Check the entire vent terminal for any blockage. If any debris is present remove it.

6.G THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE SHOULD

BE FOLLOWED FOR THE PERIODIC INSPECTION AS CONDUCTED BY THE OWNER/OCCUPANT.

1.Set the wall thermostat to the OFF position or lower the set point lever to a temperature well below the existing room temperature.

Shut off electric power to the furnace. A circuit breaker is located behind the lower, small access panel on the right side.

2.Remove the burner access door. See Figure 4.

3.Use flashlight or trouble light to observe the burner compartment and burners. There should be very minimal scaling or sooting in this area. Any loose debris may be vacuumed out. Also observe the sides of the heat exchanger tubes for “hot spots” due to improper burner alignment or overfiring and give particular attention to any area where it looks like there may be any deterioration from corrosion or rusting. Observe for any corrosion on the burners themselves. Should anything appear questionable, contact your service agency.

4.Inspect the vent terminal, or vent system observing for any debris from weather, birds, and the like. Clean if necessary. Also check the combustion air inlet hood to make sure it is clear. See Figure 4.
