A CHECK-UP
CHECKLIST
Your furnace represents an important investment in
your family's comfort and your home's value. To keep
it performing
properly and as a preventative
to future
problems, have a trained service specialist give your
furnace a professional
check-up annually. The fol-
lowing checklist can be used as a guideline to proper
service:
• Check flue and seconda U tube passage ways including
chimney -- clean if necessary.
• Change oil filter.
• Change nozzle.
• Check and adjust combustion and draft.
• Inspect all vent piping inside structure for deterioration
and vent terminations outside the structure for blockage.
• Check oil pipes leading to and inside of your furnace
for leaks.
• Inspect and clean the blower motor and wheel.
• Inspect and change or clean air filter if necessary.
• Inspect all supply- and return-air ducts fl)r obstruc-
tions, air leaks, and insulation. Remedy any problem
when necessau.
• Inspect the return-air duct connections at the furnace to
ensure it is physically sound, sealed to the furnace
casing, and terminates outside the space containing the
furnace.
° Inspect electrical wiring, connections, and compo-
nents fbr loose connections.
° Examine the physical support of the furnace. Support
should be sound with no cracks, sagging, gaps, etc.
around the base.
° Check furnace for any obvious signs of deterioration.
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.

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 FALLS 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 fl)r 3
sec in order to reset the control.
• Check for obstructions
around the vent termination.
If furnace still fails to operate, call your service represen-
tative. For your convenience, record furnace product and
