N.B. In order for the warranty to be valid, the unit must be
cleaned regularly.
Cut off power supply at circuit breaker/fuse before cleaning the
unit. Use a soft rag for dusting. When cleaning, use only a damp
rag and non-abrasive dish soap. Do not use abrasive or chemical
cleaners because they may damage the finishing. If the unit is used
in a very dusty location, use a vacuum brush to remove dust and
other foreign objects from the grilles. Note that cigarette smoke
could yellow the discharge grille and that the best way to prevent it
is to clean the unit on a regular basis.
Do not use cleaning products identified with these symbols:
N.B. Note that there is electrical current linked to the unit
even if the thermostat is set off. This means that there is a
risk of electric shock as long as the unit is energized.

Do not try to repair your furnace yourself. Call a qualified technician.
However, before calling a technician, check the following points.
1. Make sure fuses or circuit breakers are activated.
2. Adjust the temperature set point of the thermostat above the ambient
temperature. If heating does not start, cut off the power supply and call
a technician.
N.B. When calling a technician for maintenance or to order a
replacement part, specify the model of your furnace as well as
its serial number.
Air fiLTer
Excessive dust or dirt accumulation can block the airflow, forcing the
unit to work harder to maintain the desired temperature. Therefore, it
uses more energy and increases heating costs.
Since the air filter supplied is disposable, you should replace it two
to four times a year, according to the model used and the installation
area. Dirtier areas can require more than four filter changes.
To replace a dirty filter, open the access door to the filter, remove the old
filter and insert the new one inside the rack. Make sure the new filter has
the same technical specifications and size as the previous one.
N.B. Never operate the unit without a filter in place.
Every time a filter is changed, you should check the following points.
- Excessive accumulation of dirt or dust on furnace components.
- Damaged components or surfaces.
- Presence of water inside or outside the furnace.
If you encounter any of these problems, do not operate the furnace.
Call a qualified technician.
BLower
The blower motor is sealed and permanently lubricated, so it is not
necessary to lubricate it.
Even if you change the filter frequently, the blower’s blades and motors
will become dust laden after a few months. The entire blower assembly
should be inspected annually. If needed, vacuum out the dust. If you
cannot clean the blower without removing it from the furnace, this
service must be performed by a qualified technician.
