MAINTENANCE
With proper maintenance and care,
your furnace will operate economi-
cally and dependably. Instructions
for basic maintenance follow. How-
ever, before beginning maintenance,
follow these safety precautions:

FILTERING OUT
TROUBLE
Dirty air filters will cause a loss of
airflow in your duct system. When
excessive loss of airflow occurs,
the furnace may cycle on its safety
controls. If this condition is left
unattended, the furnace will even-
tually lock out. It is recommended
that furnace air filters be checked
every 3 or 4 weeks and cleaned or
replaced as necessary.
OIL
OFF IF
!
Never operate your furnace
without the air filters in place.
Doing so may damage the
furnace blower motor. An ac-
cumulation of dust and lint
on internal parts of your fur-
nace can cause a loss of effi-
ciency.
The air filter is installed in an ex-
ternal filter rack which is provided
a standard equipment with furnace.
