airflow. This can cause heat exchanger failure or cooling coil freeze-up along with the accompanying costly service calls.

Restore power to the furnace after the door or panel has been replaced and check furnace for proper operation. If the unit does not operate, call your dealer for service.

Lubrication

Lubrication of the bearings in the circulating air blower motor and the combustion blower motor is not recommended.

Combustion and Ventilation Air

Adequate air must reach your furnace to provide for proper and safe operation. Any obstruction of this airflow can cause an unsafe condition which may result in death or permanent injury. Lethal carbon monoxide gas can be produced if combustion air is restricted.

Furnaces located in a closet, alcove, or utility room must have provision for adequate air supply by means of upper and lower grilles in the door, or by the introduction of outside air, or both.

National codes and local code requirements are generally alike. However, local codes take precedence.

Venting and Furnace Support

Venting of this furnace must comply with our published instruc- tions. If the installer has not followed these requirements, you should request the installer to comply as soon as possible.

Make sure all flue product materials external to the furnace are clear and free of any obstruction, slope upward, and have no holes or leaks.

It is important that the outside area where the vent terminates is kept clear of any obstructions which might block or impede the venting of the furnace.

Should any unusual conditions be observed during your inspections, call your authorized service dealer at once.

Return Air

Check that all return air duct connections are tight and sealed to the furnace cabinet and that all return air grilles or registers are located outside the space containing the furnace.
