BEFORE YOU REQUEST

A SERVICE CALL

If your furnace is not operating or not performing properly, you may save the expense of a service call by checking a few things yourself before calling for service.

FOR INSUFFICIENT AIRFLOW:

•Check for dirty air filters.

•Check for blocked return-air or supply-air grilles throughout your home. Ensure they are open and unobstructed.

If problem still exists, call your dealer for service.

IF FURNACE FAILS TO OPERATE:

Follow this checklist step by step, advancing to the next step only if furnace fails to start.

•Check thermostat for proper temperature. Is thermo- stat set above room temperature?

•Is thermostat set on HEAT?

•Check fuses and circuit breakers. Is electrical supply on?

•Is valve in oil supply pipe in open position?

•Is the ignition control on the burner not in lockout? The red button on top of the control must be depressed for 3 sec in order to reset the control.

•Check for obstructions around the vent termination.

If the furnace still fails to operate, call your service rep- resentative. For your convenience, record the furnace product and serial numbers on page 2. Should you ever require service, you will have ready access to the infor- mation needed by your service representative.
