ANNUAL INSPECTION
MAINTENANCE
• The furnace should operate for many years without
excessive scale build-up in the flue passageways. How-
ever, it is recommended that a qualified installer, service
agency, or the gas supplier annually inspect the flue
passageways, the vent system and the main burners for
continued safe operation. Pay particular attention to dete-
rioration from corrosion or other sources.
• IMPORTANT: It is recommended that at the beginning
and at approximately half way through the heating sea-
son, a visual inspection be made of the main burner
flames for the desired flame appearance by a qualified
installer, service agency or the gas supplier. If the flames
are distorted and/or there is evidence of back pressure,
check the combustion and ventilation air system for block-
age. If there is carbon and scale in the heat exchanger
tubes, the heat exchanger assembly should be replaced.
• IMPORTANT: It is recommended that at the beginning
of the heating season, the flame sensor be cleaned with
fine steel wool or Scotch Bright Pad by a qualified in-
staller, service agency or the gas supplier.
• IMPORTANT: It is recommended that an annual inspec-
tion and cleaning of all furnace markings be made to as-
sure legibility. Attach a replacement marking, which can
be obtained through the distributor, if any are found to be
illegible or missing.

SYSTEM OPERATION INFORMATION
ADVISE THE CUSTOMER
1. Keep the air filters clean. The heating system will op-
erate better, more efficiently and more economically.
2. Arrange the furniture and drapes so that the supply air
registers and the return air grilles are unobstructed.
3. Close doors and windows. This will reduce the heat-
ing load on the system.
4. Avoid excessive use of kitchen exhaust fans.
5. Do not permit the heat generated by television, lamps
or radios to influence the thermostat operation.
6. Except for the mounting platform, keep all combusti-
ble articles 3 feet from the furnace and vent system.
7. IMPORTANT: Replace all blower doors and com-
partment covers after servicing the furnace. Do not
operate the unit without all panels and doors securely
in place.
8. Explain the advantages of continuous fan operation to
the customer.
