IMPORTANT FACTS
Your furnace must have adequate airflow for efficient
combustion and safe ventilation. Do not enclose it in
an airtight room or “seal” it behind solid doors.
To minimize the possibility of serious personal injury,
fire, furnace damage, or improper operation,
carefully
follow these safety rules:
3
• Do not cover the furnace, store trash or debris near
it, or in any way block the flow of fresh air to the unit.
• Combustion air must be clean and not contaminated
with chlorine or fluorine. These compounds are present
in many products around the home, such as: water soft-
ener salts, laundry bleaches, detergents, adhesives,
paints, varnishes, paint strippers, waxes, and plastics.
Make sure the combustion air for your furnace does
not contain any of these compounds. During remodel-
ing be sure the combustion air is fresh and uncontam-
inated. If air with vapors of these compounds is burned
in your furnace, the heat exchangers and metal vent
system may deteriorate.
NOTE: Do not use this furnace if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified service tech-
nician to inspect the furnace and to replace any part of
the control system, electrical components, and any oil
control which has been under water.
NOTE: The qualified installer or agency must use only
factory-authorized replacement parts, kits, and acces-
sories when servicing this product.
The furnace burner control has a safety device which
must be manually reset. If the furnace is left unattended
for an extended period of time, have it checked period-
ically for proper operation. This precaution will prevent
problems associated with no heat, such as frozen water
pipes, etc.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installing and servicing of heating equipment can be
hazardous due to oil and electrical components. Only
trained and qualified personnel should install, repair,
or service heating equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance
functions such as cleaning and replacing air filters. All
other operations must be performed by trained service
personnel. Observe safety precautions in this manual,
on tags, and on labels attached to the furnace and other
safety precautions that may apply.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert
symbol
. When you see this symbol on the furnace
and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential
for personal injury.
Understand the signal words — DANGER, WARN-
ING, and CAUTION. These words are used with the
safety-alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most seri-
ous hazards which
will result in severe personal injury
or death. WARNING signifies hazards which could
result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to
identify unsafe practices which
may result in minor per-
sonal injury or product and property damage. NOTE is
used to highlight suggestions which will result in
enhanced installation, reliability or operation.
