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 .
