combustible items such as wood, paper, etc. Some types
of insulation are combustible. If your furnace is installed
in an attic, near unfi nished walls, or in other insulated
space, keep area surrounding the furnace free of insulating
material.
Do not place combustible materials on or against
the furnace cabinet or within 6 inches of the vent
pipe. Furnace area must be kept clear and free
of combustible materials, gasoline and other
fl ammable vapors and liquids. A fi re or explosion
may result causing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life. Failure to follow the safety
warnings exactly could result in serious injury,
death or property damage.

agency should be contacted to inspect the
furnace and to replace all gas controls, control
system parts, electrical parts that have been
wet or the furnace if deemed necessary.

FILTERS
