store any kind of chenfical or cleaner.
• DO NOT: Contanfinate the air used for combustion of your
furnace with any kind of chenfical or fumes. This could also

around the home, such as: water softener salts, any type of
household cleaning product, any type of laundry product,
adhesives, paints, varnishes, paint strippers, waxes and plastics, etc.
During remodeling be sure the combustion air is fresh and
uncontanfinated. If these compounds are burned in your furnace,
the heat exchangers and metal vent system may deteriorate.
