2. Do not store or use chlorine or fluorine products (bleaches,
cements, strippers, aerosols) near the unit. They can cor-
rode the heat exchanger.
3. Do not use the furnace closet as storage for brooms,
mops, brushes and oily rags or cloths. The area must be
kept clear, clean and free of lint. Furnace must be kept
free and clear of exposed or loose insulation materials in
the area of installation. Examine the furnace area when
the furnace or additional insulation is added since some
insulation materials may be combustible.
4. Make sure the furnace is always connected to an ap-
proved vent, in good condition, to carry combustion prod-
ucts outdoors.
5. Familiarize yourself with the controls that shut off the gas
and electrical power to the furnace. If the furnace is to be
shut down at the end of the heating season, turn off both
the gas and electrical power. For safety, always turn the
gas and electrical power off before performing service or
maintenance on the furnace.
6. Establish a regular maintenance schedule to insure effi-
cient and safe operation of the furnace. The furnace
should be checked at the beginning of each heating and
cooling season by a qualified service technician.

NSTALLATION
RODUCT
Examine the furnace installation to determine the following:
1. All flue product carrying passages external to the furnace
(i.e. chimney, vent connector) are clear and free of ob-
structions.
2. The vent connector is in place, slopes upward and is
physically sound without holes or excessive corrosion.
3. The return air duct connection is physically sound, 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, or gaps around the base so as to provide a
seal between the support and the base.
5. There are no obvious signs of deterioration of the fur-
nace.
6. Check for proper burner flame performance. Flame should
extend directly outward from burners without curling, float-
ing, or lifting off.
