OWNER’S INFORMATION
IMPORTANT FACTS
The flow of combustion and ventilating air must not be obstructed
from reaching the furnace. Air openings provided in the casing of
the furnace must be kept free of obstructions which would restrict
airflow, thereby affecting efficiency and safe operation of your
furnace.
Also, air openings provided to the area in which the furnace is
installed and the space around the furnace shall not be blocked or
obstructed. Keep this in mind should you choose to remodel the
area which contains your furnace. If additional insulation is
added after the furnace is installed, the area around the furnace
must be inspected to ensure it is free and clear of insulation. If this
furnace is installed in an attic or other insulated space it must be
kept free and clear of all insulating materials as some insulating
materials are combustible.
Furnaces must have air for proper performance. There must be a
free flow of fresh air sufficient for efficient combustion and safe
ventilation of your furnace. The combustion air for your furnace
must be fresh uncontaminated air. Paints, varnishes, laundry
bleaches, detergents, many household cleaners, water softening
salts, adhesives, and all such products release fumes containing
compounds which could lead to early heat exchanger and vent
system deterioration. Do not store these type of products near your
furnace.
Never store gasoline, combustible materials, or other flam-
mable liquids or vapors near your furnace.
Carbon monoxide, fire or smoke can cause serious bodily injury,
death, and/or property damage.
A variety of potential sources of carbon monoxide can be found in
a building or dwelling such as gas-fired clothes dryers, gas
cooking stoves, water heaters, furnaces and fireplaces. The U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that users of
gas-burning appliances install carbon monoxide detectors as well
as fire and smoke detectors per the manufacturer’s installation
instructions to help alert dwelling occupants of the presence of
fire, smoke or unsafe levels of carbon monoxide. These devices
should be listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
Standards for
Single and Multiple Station Carbon Monoxide Alarms, UL 2034
or CSA International Standard,
Residential Carbon Monoxide
Alarming Devices,
