To minimize the possibility of serious personal injury, fire, furnace damage, or improper operation; carefully follow these safety rules:

SYour gas furnace uses air from outside the home for combustion

and vents flue gas to the outdoors. It is not to be installed using indoor air for combustion. The vent pipe must terminate outside the structure and must not be obstructed in any way. The air-intake pipe must terminate outside the structure or in a well ventilated area that is isolated from the living space and the garage (e.g. well ventilated attic or crawlspace). Do not block or obstruct air openings on furnace or spaces around furnace.

SKeep the area around your furnace clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids and vapors.
