HOW YOUR GAS
FURNACE WORKS
Your furnace is a very easy appliance to
take for granted. Season after season, it
sits there in your home, keeping you
warm and comfortable. For this reason,
you may never have given much thought
to the way your furnace operates. In
order to get the safest and most efficient
operation from your furnace, though,
you should understand how your fur-
nace does its job.
When you set your thermostat to provide
more heat in your home, you are starting
the heating cycle of the furnace. First,
the inducer motor starts to purge the
heat exchanger of any remaining gas-
ses. Next, the hot surface ignitor glows
and after a warm-up period the gas valve
opens and ignition occurs. A short time
later the blower starts and distributes the
warm air throughout the home. When
the temperature set on your thermostat
is reached, the gas valve closes, the
main burners are turned off, and the
blower continues to run until the remain-
ing warm air in the system is distributed.
When the blower stops, the heating cy-
cle has ended.
KEEP THE FURNACE
AREA CLEAR
NEVER . . . use the area around your
furnace as a storage area for items
which could block the normal flow of air.
This flow of air is required for ventilation
of the various furnace components.
WARNING: Do not block or ob-
struct air openings:
1. On the furnace.
2. Air openings communicating
with the air in which the
furnace is installed.
3. The spacings around the
furnace.
NEVER . . store flammable materials of
any kind near your furnace. Gasoline, sol-
vents, and other volatile liquids should be
stored only in approved containers outside
your home. These materials vaporize eas-
ily and are extremely dangerous.
NEVER . . . store cleaning materials
near your furnace. Materials such as
bleaches, detergents, powdered cleans-
ers, etc., can cause corrosion of the heat
exchangers.
WARNING: Insulating materials
may be flammable.
CAUTION: When a furnace is
installed in an attic or other insu-
lated space, or if insulation is
added, examine the furnace area
to ensure that the furnace is kept
clear and free of insulation.
