GAMA Gas-Fired Furnace, User'S Information Manual

For your safety -
Read before operating

Here  are  a  few  "Do's  and  Don'ts"

•

Do

 become familiar with the User's Instruction

Manual and Installation Instructions.

•

Do

 check to see that your home has adequate

insulation, weatherstripping, caulking, and storm
windows. Elimination of infiltration of outside air and
drafts can save up to 40% of your fuel bill.

•

Do

 consider adding a humidifier to your heating

system. Higher indoor humidity slows evaporation
of perspiration, making the home seem warmer.

•

Don't

 waste fuel by setting your thermostat too

high. Energy conservation experts recommend a
daytime thermostat setting of 68°F, with a lower
setting at night.

•

Don't

 turn off the furnace when you expect to be

away for more than a day. Instead, lower the
thermostat setting a few degrees. You can then
restore normal comfort level quickly and save fuel
too.

•

Don't

 block registers with furniture.

•

Don't

 put a lamp, TV, or radio too near your

thermostat. This will cause it to give a false reading.

If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire
or explosion may result, causing property damage,
personal injury, or loss of life.

These furnaces are equipped with an ignition device
which automatically lights the burners. 

Do not try to

light the burners by hand.

Before operating,

 smell around the furnace area for gas.

Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle to the lowest point. Refer
to 

"What to do if you smell gas"

 on page 1 if the odor

of gas is present.

Use only your hand to adjust the gas control switch;

never use tools.

 If the switch will not move by hand,

don't try to repair it, call a qualified service technician.

Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or
explosion.

Do not use this furnace if any part has been under water.
A flood-damaged furnace is extremely dangerous.
Attempts to use the furnace can result in fire or explosion.
A qualified service agency should be contacted to inspect
the furnace and to replace all gas controls, control system
parts, electrical parts that have been wet or the furnace
if deemed necessary.

The furnace area must be kept clear and free of
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids. Failure to do so
could cause actions that may result in property
damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
