Filters; Filter Removal; Filter Cleaning And/Or Replacement - Amana GULA User's Information Manual

Filters must be inspected, cleaned or changed every two months or as required. As a homeowner, it is your personal
responsibility to keep air filters clean. Remember that dirty filters are the most common cause of inadequate heating or
cooling performance.
Return air filters are supplied by your installer. Become familiar with where the filter is located and the procedure(s) for
removing, cleaning and replacing them.
If assistance is needed, contact either the installer of your furnace or a qualified servicer.
To avoid death, personal injury or property damage, disconnect electrical power before removing filters never operate
furnace without a filter installed. Dust and lint will build up on internal parts resulting in loss of efficiency, equipment
damage and possible fire.

grille installation:
1. Turn off electrical power to the furnace.
2. Remove filter(s) from ductwork or central grille loca-
tion.
3. Replace filter(s) opposite removal.
