PERFORMING

ROUTINE

MAINTENANCE

With proper maintenance and care, your furnace will operate economically and dependably. Instructions for basic main- tenance are found on this and the follow- ing pages. However, before beginning maintenance, follow these safety pre- cautions:

!WARNING

Turn off electrical power sup- ply to your furnace before re- moving the main furnace door to service or perform mainte- nance. Failure to follow this warning could result in per- sonal injury or death.

!CAUTION

Although special care has been taken to minimize sharp edges, be extremely careful when handling parts or reach- ing into the furnace.

FILTERING OUT

TROUBLE

A dirty air filter will cause a loss of airflow in your duct system. When excessive loss of airflow occurs, the furnace may cycle on its safety controls. If this condition is left unattended, the furnace will eventu- ally lock out. It is recommended that the furnace air filter be checked every 3 or 4 weeks and cleaned if necessary.

!CAUTION

Never operate your furnace without the air filter in place. Doing so may damage the fur- nace blower motor. An accu- mulation of dust and lint on internal parts of your furnace can cause a loss of efficiency.

The air filter is normally located in the blower compartment. (See Fig. 2.)

If air filter has been installed in another location, contact your dealer for instructions. To inspect, clean, and/or replace the air filter(s), follow these steps:

1.Turn off electrical supply to the furnace. (See Fig. 18.)

2.Remove main furnace door. (See Fig. 21.)

3.Remove blower access panel. (See Fig. 22.)
