Inspection
To ensure your safety and years of trouble-free oper-
ation of the heating system, service and annual
inspections must be done by a contractor qualified in
the installation and service of gas-fired heating
equipment.
Turn off gas and electric supplies before performing
service or maintenance. Allow heater to cool before
servicing.
Before every heating season, a contractor qualified in
the installation and service of gas-fired heating
equipment must perform a thorough safety inspec-
tion of the heater.
For best performance, the gas, electrical, thermostat
connections, tubing, venting, suspensions and over-
all heater condition should be thoroughly inspected.
NOTE: Gas flow and burner ignition are among the
first things that should be inspected.
Please see Page 45, Section 11.5 for suggested
