To Start The Furnace - Trane UE1 User's Information Manual

User's Information
Never store gasoline, combustible materials, or other
flammable liquids or vapors near your furnace.
Carbon monoxide, fire or smoke can cause serious bodily
injury, death, and/or property damage.
A variety of potential sources of carbon monoxide can be
found in a building or dwelling such as gas-fired clothes
dryers, gas cooking stoves, water heaters, furnaces and
fireplaces. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
recommends that users of gas-burning appliances install
carbon monoxide detectors as well as fire and smoke dectec-
tors, listed by a nationally recognized agency (e.g. Under-
writers Laboratories or International Approval Services), to
help alert dwelling occupants of the presence of fire, smoke
or unsafe levels of carbon monoxide.
NOTE: The manufacturer of your furnace does not test any
detectors and makes no representations regarding any
brand or type of detector.
