CAUTION: • INSPECT FLUE PIPES, FIREBOX, STOVE PIPE, CHIMNEY AND DRAFT BLOWER JOINTS AND SEALS REGULARLY TO ENSURE THAT SMOKE AND FLUE GASES ARE NOT DRAWING INTO, AND CIRCULATED BY THE AIR-CIRCULATION SYSTEM. • CLEANING OF THE FIREBOX, STOVE PIPE, CHIMNEY AND DRAFT BLOWER (IF USED), IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AT THE END OF THE HEATING SEASON TO MINIMIZE CORROSION DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS CAUSED BY THE ACCUMULATED ASH. • Do not use chemicals to start the fire. • Do not burn garbage, gasoline, naphtha, engine oil, or other flammable liquids/inappropriate materials. At the beginning of each heating season, take time to throughly check your furnace and chimney system. Make sure there are no leaks where the metal panels are joined or at the caulk lines. Should you find a leak, high-temp silicone will correct the problem. Check the door for signs of rust. Should rust develop, lightly sand, with sandpaper or steel wool, the surface and follow up with black, high temperature paint to keep the door looking new. Check the gaskets, if they are frayed and burnt, replace the gasket. Check the firebricks for breakage or crumbling, and replace as needed. Check the chimney pipe for signs of creosote formation, if you find creosote, thoroughly clean the chimney system replacing the chimney cap securely so rain or snow does not run down the chimney into the firebox. If the cap is removed for any length of time when the furnace is not in use, cover the pipe so no moisture gets into the firebox. Check the chimney cap for holes or loosened connections, replace and secure as necessary. Check the grates for signs of wear and replace as needed. Check the heat duct and cold air return to be sure they have not become loose or been damaged. If so, tighten or replace as needed. Check ductwork for any air leaks. Remove any accumulated ashes at the end of the season. By following these procedures, your furnace will provide many years of trouble-free service.
