Installing and servicing of heating
equipment can be hazardous due to
gas and electrical components.
Only trained and qualified personnel
should install, repair, or service heat-
ing equipment. Untrained personnel
can perform basic maintenance func-
tions such as cleaning and replacing air
filters.
All other operations must be performed
by trained and qualified service agency
personnel. Observe safety precautions
16 in this manual, on tags, and on labels
attached to the furnace and other safety
precautions that may apply.
With proper maintenance and care, your
furnace will operate economically and
dependably. Instructions for basic mainte-

pages. However, before beginning main-
tenance, follow these safety precautions:
Turn off electrical power sup-

follow this caution would re-

Doing so may damage the fur-

mulation of dust and lint on
internal parts of your furnace
can cause a loss of efficiency
and would cause minor prop-
erty or product damage.

in your duct system. When excessive loss
of airflow occurs, the furnace may cycle
on its safety controls. If this condition is
left unattended, the furnace will eventu-
