PERFORMING
ROUTINE
MAINTENANCE

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.

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
blower cabinet. If air filter has been
installed in another location, contact
your dealer for instructions. To inspect,
clean, and/or replace the air filter(s),
follow these steps:

1. Turn off electrical supply to fur-

nace. (See Fig. 20).

2. Remove door/access panel

• AIR FILTER(S) LOCATED IN

CAUTION

Furnace is not to be installed,
operated, and then turned off
and left turned off in an unoc-
cupied structure during winter.
(See winterizing procedures in
maintenance section.)

WARNING

Turn off electrical power sup-
ply to your furnace before re-
moving the main furnace door
to service or perform mainte-
nance. Failure to follow this
warning could result in per-
sonal injury or death.

CAUTION

Although special care has
been taken to minimize sharp
edges, be extremely careful
when handling parts or reach-
ing into the furnace.

CAUTION

Never operate your furnace
without the air filter in place.
Doing so may damage the fur-
nace blower motor. An accu-
mulation of dust and lint on
internal parts of your furnace
can cause a loss of efficiency.
