COMBUSTION AREA AND VENT
SYSTEM
Visually inspect the combustion are and vent system before
each heating season. Make sure that all PVC pipes leading
into the combustion area and vent are free from any cracks
and sags. Check the combustion-air intake and vent pipe on
the outside of your home for blockage.
When dirt, soot, scale, or rust is allowed to build up, your
furnace can suffer a loss of efficiency and perform improper-
ly. Accumulations on the main burners can result in firing out
of normal sequence. This delayed ignition creates an alarm-
ingly loud sound.
To inspect the combustion area and vent system, you will
need a flashlight. Refer to Fig. 3 or 4, and proceed as follows:
1. Turn off the gas and electrical supplies to the furnace and
remove the main furnace door. (See Fig. 9, 10, and 11.)
2. Remove burner enclosure front. (See Fig. 34 or 35.)
Inspect the gas burners, ignitor area, and remainder of furnace
for dirt, rust, soot, or scale.
