IMPORTANT FACTS

Your furnace must have adequate airflow for efficient combustion and safe ventilation. Do not enclose it in an airtight room or “seal” it behind solid doors.

To minimize the possibility of serious personal injury, fire, fur- nace damage, or improper opera- tion, carefully follow these safety rules:

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Do not store or use gaso- line or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any oth- er appliance.

•Do not cover the furnace, store trash or debris near it, or in any way block the flow of fresh air to the unit.

•Combustion air must be clean and not contaminated with chlorine or fluorine. These compounds are present in many products around the home, such as: water softener salts, laundry bleaches, detergents, adhesives, paints, varnishes, paint strippers, waxes, and plastics.

Make sure the combustion air for your furnace does not contain any of these compounds. During re- modeling be sure the combustion air is fresh and uncontaminated. If air with vapors of these com- pounds is burned in your furnace, the heat exchangers and metal vent system may deteriorate.
