A CHECK-UP
CHECKLIST
Your furnace represents an impor-
tant investment in your family’s
comfort and your home’s value. To
keep it performing properly and as
a preventative to future problems,
have a trained service specialist
give your furnace a professional
check-up annually. The following
checklist can be used as a guideline
to proper service:
• Check flue and secondary tube
passage ways including chimney —
clean if necessary.
• Change oil filter.
• Change nozzle.
• Check and adjust combustion and
draft.
• Inspect all vent piping inside struc-
ture for deterioration and vent termi-
nations outside the structure for
blockage.
• Check oil pipes leading to and
inside of your furnace for leaks.
• Inspect and clean the blower motor
and wheel.
• Inspect and change or clean air fil-
ter if necessary.
• Inspect all supply- and return-air
ducts for obstructions, air leaks, and
insulation. Remedy any problem
when necessary.
• Inspect the return-air duct connec-
tions at the furnace to ensure it is
physically sound, sealed to the fur-
nace casing, and terminates outside
the space containing the furnace.
• Inspect electrical wiring, connec-
tions, and components for loose
connections.
• Examine the physical support of
the furnace. Support should be
sound with no cracks, sagging, gaps,
etc. around the base.
• Check furnace for any obvious
signs of deterioration.
BEFORE YOU REQUEST
A SERVICE CALL
If your furnace is not operating or
not performing properly, you may
save the expense of a service call
by checking a few things yourself
before calling for service.
FOR INSUFFICIENT AIRFLOW:
• Check for dirty air filters.
• Check for blocked return-air or
supply-air grilles throughout your
home. Ensure they are open and
unobstructed.
If problem still exists, call your
dealer for service.
IF FURNACE FAILS TO
OPERATE:
Follow this checklist step by step,
advancing to the next step only if
furnace fails to start.
• Check thermostat for proper tem-
perature. Is thermostat set above
room temperature?
• Is thermostat set on HEAT?
• Check fuses and circuit breakers.
Is electrical supply on?
• Is valve in oil supply pipe in open
position?
• Is the ignition control on the burn-
er not in lockout? The red button on
top of the control must be depressed
for 3 sec in order to reset the control.
• Check for obstructions around the
vent termination.
If furnace still fails to operate, call
your service representative. For
your convenience, record furnace
product and serial numbers on page

you will have ready access to the
information needed by your service
