HOW YOUR GAS

FURNACE WORKS

Your furnace is a very easy appliance to take for granted. Season after season, it sits there in your home, keeping you warm and comfortable. For this reason, you may never have given muc h thought to the way your furnace operates. In order to get the safest and most efficient operation from your furnace, though, you should understand how your furnace does its job.

When you set your thermostat to provide more heat in your home, you are starting the heating cycle of the furnace. First, the inducer motor starts to purge the heat exchanger of any remaining gasses. Next, the hot surface ignitor glows and after a warm --up period the gas valve opens and ignition occurs. A short time later the blower starts and distributes the warm air throughout the home. When the temperature set on your thermostat is reached, the gas valve closes, the main bur ners are turned off, and the blower continues to run until the remaining warm air in the system is distributed. When the blower stops, the heating cycle has ended.

KEEP THE FURNACE

AREA CLEAR

NEVER . . . use the area around

your furnace as a storage area for items which could block the normal flow of air. This flow of air is required for ventilation of the various furnace components.

WARNING

Do not block or obstruct air openings:

1. On the furnace.

2. Air openings communicating with the air in which the furnace is installed.

3. The spacings around the furnace.

NEVER. . . store flammable mater i-

als of any kind near your furnace. Gasoline, solvents, an d other volatile liquids shou ld be stored only in approved containers outside your home. These materials vaporize easily and are extremely dangerous.

NEVER. . . store cleaning materials

near your furnace. Materials such

as bleaches, detergents, powde red cleansers, etc., can cause corrosion of the heat exchangers.

WARNING

Insulating materials may be flammable.

When a furnace is installed in an attic or other insul ated s p ac e, or if insulation is added, examine the furnace area to ensure that the furnace is kept clear and free of insulation.
