WARNING
!
EXPLOSION, BURN AND ENVIRONMENTAL
HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death or property damage.
System under pressure. Relieve pressure and recover all
refrigerant before system repair or final unit disposal. Use
all service ports and open all flow- -control devices,
including solenoid valves.
Unit Panels
After performing any maintenance or service on the unit, be sure
all panels are fastened securely in place to prevent rain from
entering unit cabinet and to prevent disruption of the correct unit
airflow pattern.
Combustion Area and Vent System
For proper and safe operation, the furnace needs air for combustion
and ventilation. The air openings, on the furnace, the air openings
to the area in which the furnace is installed, and the spacing around
the furnace must not be blocked or obstructed.
The combustion area and vent system should be inspected visually
before each heating season. The normal accumulation of dirt, soot,
rust, and scale can result in loss of efficiency and improper
performance if allowed to build up. This inspection should be done
by a trained service person.
