PERFORMING
ROUTINE
MAINTENANCE

NOTE:

The qualified installer or

agency must use only factory-
authorized replacement parts, kits,
and accessories when modifying this
product.
Installing and servicing of heating
equipment can be hazardous due to
gas and electrical components.
Only trained and qualified personnel
should install, repair, or service heat-
ing equipment. Untrained personnel
can perform basic maintenance func-
tions such as cleaning and replacing air
filters.
All other operations must be performed
by trained and qualified service agency
personnel. Observe safety precautions
in this manual, on tags, and on labels
attached to the furnace and other safety
precautions that may apply.
With proper maintenance and care, your
furnace will operate economically and
dependably. Instructions for basic main-
tenance are found on this and the follow-

ing pages. However, before beginning
maintenance, follow these safety pre-
cautions:

FILTERING OUT TROUBLE

A dirty air filter will cause a loss of airflow
in your duct system. When excessive loss
of airflow occurs, the furnace may cycle
on its safety controls. If this condition is
left unattended, the furnace will eventu-
ally lock out. It is recommended that the
furnace air filter be checked every 3 or 4
weeks and cleaned if necessary.
If installed with factory-specified dis-
posable media filter, check or replace fil-
ter before each heating and cooling
season. Replace media filter at least
once a year.
The air filter is normally located in the
blower compartment (See Fig. 3 or 4.)
or in the factory-supplied filter cabinet
attached to the side or bottom of the
