[]NIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit
operation.
For proper and safe operation the furnace needs air for
combustion and ventilation. Do not block or obstruct air
openings on the furnace, air opening to the area in which the
furnace is installed, and the space around the furnace.
Visually inspect the combustion area 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. An
accunmlation 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.
Check the combustion-air intake adjacent to the furnace or outside
your home for blockage. Also check the vent pipe on the outside of
your home for blockage.
NOTE: If your furnace makes a loud noise when the main burners
are ignited, shut down the furnace and call your servicing dealer.
Use your flashlight and follow these steps for inspecting the
combustion area and vent system of your furnace:

burner flames to see if they are clear blue, almost transpar-
