1. The furnace area and the vicinity of any other gas appliances
must be kept clear and free of combustible materials, gasoline,
and other flammable vapors and liquids. Also, do not store or use
flammable items such as paint, varnish, or lacquer in the area.
2. Do not store or use chlorine or fluorine products (bleaches, ce-
ments, strippers, aerosols) near the unit. They can corrode 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 installa-
tion. 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 approved
vent, in good condition, to carry combustion products 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 elec-
trical 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 efficient 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.
T
O AVOID PERSONAL INJURY OR FIRE, MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES MUST BE FOLLOWED.
7. Make certain the required clearances for the furnace are always
maintained. These clearances are listed on the furnace clear-
ance label. If any question develops, contact the installer of the
furnace, or another qualified servicer.
U
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 obstructions.
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 sagging,
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 furnace.
6. Check for proper burner flame performance. Flame should ex-
tend directly outward from burners without, curling, floating, or
lifting off.

OF FLUE GASES. OST HOMES REQUIRE OUTSIDE AIR TO BE SUPPLIED INTO
THE FURNACE AREA.
Improved construction and additional insulation in homes have
reduced the heat loss and made these homes much tighter around
doors and windows so that air infiltration is minimal. This creates a
problem to supply ventilation and/or combustion air for gas fired or
other fuel burning appliances. Any use of appliances that pull air out
of the house (clothes dryers, exhaust fans, fireplaces, water heat-
ers, non-direct vent furnaces, etc.) increases this problem and
appliances could be starving for air.
If fuel-burning appliances are starved for air, the flue gases which
these appliances produce as they operate may not vent outdoors
properly, but remain in the home instead. These flue gases may
