IMPORTANT: The water trap’s lter element should prevent soot from reaching
the analyzer’s internal components. If the probe is not kept clean, it could become
clogged and restrict the ow of gas into the analyzer, resulting in incorrect
combustion test readings and calculations.
IMPORTANT: An analyzer that is used to test natural gas furnaces normally
requires less frequent cleaning than an one which is used for testing coal- or
oil-red furnaces.
DANGER: NEVER use ammable or combustible substances (like the carburetor uid
used to clean the probe) near an open ame.
