SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert sym- bol ! . When you see this symbol on the furnace and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.

Understand the signal words—DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE. DANGER, WARNING and CAUTION are used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards which could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which would result in minor per- sonal injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced instal- lation, reliability or operation.

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

these safety rules:

•Your gas furnace uses air from outside the home for com- bustion and vents flue gas to the outdoors. It is not to be installed using indoor air for combustion. The vent and air- intake pipes must terminate outside the structure and must not be obstructed in any way. Do not block or obstruct air openings on furnace or spaces around the furnace.

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

•A furnace installed in an attic or other insulated space must be kept free and clear of insulating material. Examine the fur- nace area when the furnace is installed or when insulation is added. Some materials may be combustible.

This furnace contains SAFETY DEVICES which must be MANUALLY RESET. If the furnace is left unattended for an extended period of time, have it checked periodically for proper operation. This precaution will prevent problems associated with no heat, such as frozen water pipes, etc. See “Before You Request a Service Call’’ section in this manual.

!WARNING

Fire Hazard! Failure to keep insulation clear of furnace could result in fire, personal injury/death or property damage.

!WARNING

Do not keep combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids or vapors around your furnace. Failure to follow this warning could result in fire, personal injury/death or property damage.

•Keep the area around your furnace clear and free of com- bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids and vapors.

!WARNING

For proper and safe operation the furnace needs air for combustion and ventilation. Do not block or obstruct the openings on the furnace, air openings to the area in which the furnace is in- stalled, and the space around the furnace. Failure to follow this warning could result in fire, personal injury/death or property damage.

BEFORE STARTING YOUR FURNACE

Examine the furnace installation to determine that:

1.All flue gas carrying areas external to the furnace (i.e. chimney, vent connector) are clear and free of obstructions.

2.The vent connector is in place, slopes upward and is phys- ically sound without holes or excessive corrosion.

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

4.The physical support of the furnace is sound without sag- ging cracks, gaps, etc. around the base.

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

6.The pilot and burner flames are in good adjustment (by comparison with pictorial sketches or drawings of the main burner flame and, if applicable, the pilot burner flame).
