COMBUSTION AREA
AND VENT SYSTEM
Inspect the combustion area and vent
system before each heating season. An
accumulation of dirt, soot, or rust can
mean a loss of efficiency and improper
performance. Buildups on the main
burners can cause faulty firing. This
“delayed ignition’’ is characterized by
an alarmingly loud sound. If your fur-
nace makes a loud noise when the main
burners are ignited, shut down the fur-
nace—call your servicing dealer.
Use your flashlight and follow these
steps for inspecting the combustion
area and vent system of your furnace:
1. Turn off the electrical supply to the
furnace and remove the access
door. (See Fig. 7 and 8.)
2. Carefully inspect the gas burner
(see Fig. 17) for dirt, rust, or scale.
Then inspect the elbow, flue con-
nection area, and the vent pipe for
rust.

NOTE:
If dirt, rust, soot, or scale accu-
mulations are found, call your servic-
ing dealer. DO NOT OPERATE THE
FURNACE.
3. Inspect the vent pipe for a sag,
holes, or a disconnection. A hori-
zontal vent pipe must slope upward
away from furnace. If rusty joints
or seams, or signs of water leakages
are found call your dealer for ser-
vice.
4. Replace the access door and restore
electrical power to the furnace.
(See Fig. 12.)
5. Start the furnace and observe its
operation. If possible, watch the
burner flames. Are they burning
bright blue? If not (or if you suspect
some other malfunction), call your
servicing dealer.

WARNING
If holes are found—or if the
vent pipe is obstructed or is
not connected—toxic fumes
can escape into your home. DO
NOT OPERATE YOUR FUR-
NACE. Call your dealer for ser-
vice. A failure to follow this
warning could result in per-
sonal injury or death.
