IMPORTANT FACTS
Your furnace must have adequate airflow for efficient
combustion and safe ventilation. Do not enclose it in
an airtight room or "seal" it behind solid doors.
To minimize the possibility of serious personal injury,
fire, furnace damage, or improper operation, carefully
follow these safety rules:
Do not store or use gasoline or other flam-
mable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance:
Do not cover the furnace, store trash or debris near
it, or in any way block the flow of fresh air to the unit.
Combustion air must be clean and not contaminated
with chlorine or fluorine. These compounds are present
in many products around the home, such as: water soft-
ener salts, laundry bleaches, detergents, adhesives,
paints, varnishes, paint strippers, waxes, and plastics.
Make sure the combustion air for your furnace does
not contain any of these compounds. During remodel-
ing be sure the combustion air is fresh and uncontam-
inated. If air with vapors of these compounds is burned
in your furnace, the heat exchangers and metal vent
system may deteriorate.
NOTE: Do not use this furnace if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified service tech-
nician to inspect the furnace and to replace any part of
the control system, electrical components, and any oil
control which has been under water.
NOTE: The qualified installer or agency must use only
factory-authorized replacement parts, kits, and acces-
sories when servicing this product.
The furnace burner control has a safety device which
must be manually reset. If the furnace is left unattended
for an extended period of time, have it checked period-
ically for proper operation. This precaution will prevent
problems associated with no heat, such as frozen water
pipes, etc.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing and servicing of heating equipment can be
hazardous clue to oil and electrical components. Only
trained and qualified personnel should install, repair,

Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance
functions such as cleaning and replacing air filters. All

alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious haz-
ards which will result in severe personal injury or death.
