FIRE
OR EXPLOSION
HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal iniury,
death, or property damage.
Do not keep combustible
materials,
gasoline,
and other
flammable liquids or vapors around your furnace.
• Keep the area around your furnace clear and free of combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids and vapors.

Fig. 4 - NO combustible
materials near furnace
• Do not cover the furnace, store trash or debris near it, or in any
way block the flow of fresh air to the unit.
[]NIT OPERATION
HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in internfittent unit
operation.
For proper and safe operation
the furnace needs air for
combustion
and ventilation.
Do not block or obstruct air
openings on the furnace, air opening to the area in which the
furnace is installed, and the space around the furnace.
In addition
to the safety rules above,
make sure that the following
combustion-air
requirements
are
met
for
non-direct
vent
applications:
• Combustion air nmst be clean and uncontanfinated with chlorine
or fuorine. These compounds are present in many products
around the home, such as: water softener salts, laundry bleaches,
detergents, adhesives, paints, varnishes, paint strippers, waxes,
and plastics.
• Make sure the combustion air for your furnace does not contain
any of these compounds. During remodeling be sure the
combustion air is fresh and uncontanfinated. If these compounds
are burned in your furnace, the heat exchangers may deteriorate.
• A furnace installed in an attic or other insulated space nmst be
kept free and clear of insulating material. Exanfine the furnace
area when the furnace is installed or when insulation is added.
Some insulation materials may be combustible.
• Should the gas supply fail to shut off or if overheating occurs,
shut off the gas valve to the furnace before shutting off electrical
supply.
This
furnace
contains
SAFETY
DEVICES
which
must be
MANUALLY
RESET. If the furnace is left unattended
for an
extended period of time, have it checked periodically for proper
operation. This precaution will prevent problems associated with
no heat, such as frozen water pipes, etc. See "Before You Request
a Service Call" section in this manual.
BEFORE
STARTING
YOUR FURNACE
Exanfine the furnace installation to deternfine that:
1. All flue gas carrying areas external to the furnace (i.e. china-
ney, vent connector) are clear and free of obstructions.
2. The vent connector is in place, slopes upward and is physic-
ally sound without holes or gaps.
3. The return-air
duct connection(s)
is physically sound, is
sealed to the furnace casing, and ternfinates outside the
space containing the furnace.
4. The physical support of the furnace is sound without sag-
ging cracks, gaps, etc. around the base.
5. There are no obvious signs of deterioration of the furnace.
6. The burner flames are in good adjustment, See Fig. 5 (by
comparison with pictorial sketches or drawings of the main
burner flame).

FIRE
AND EXPLOSION
HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning
could result in personal
iniury, death or property damage.
Should the gas supply fail to shut off or if overheating
occurs, turn off the manual
gas valve to the furnace
BEFORE
turning
off the electrical
supply
and install
lockout tag.
Instead
of a continuously
burning
pilot
flame
which
wastes
valuable
energy,
your
furnace
uses
an
automatic,
hot
surface
ignition
system
to light the burners
each time the thermostat
signals
the furnace
to start,
Follow
these
important
safeguards:
•
Never attempt
to manually
light the burners
with a match
or other source of flame,
