The problem solver.
A furnace is not a household appliance. It is complex and
requires professional maintenance and repair.
That’s why attempts at “do-it-yourself” repairs on an in-war-
ranty unit may void the remainder of your warranty.
Other than performing the simple maintenance recommended
in this manual, you should not attempt to make any adjust-
ments to your furnace. Your dealer will be able to take care of
any questions or problems you may have. A periodic inspection
of your furnace should be made by a qualified service agency at
the start of each heating season.
Keep your furnace looking like new for years.
Clean the enamel finish of your furnace with ordinary soap and
water. For stubborn grease spots, use a household detergent.
Lacquer thinner or other synthetic solvents may damage the
finish.
