requires professional maintenance and repair.

That’s why attempts at “do-it-yourself” repairs on an in-

Other than performing the simple maintenance recom-
mended in this manual, you should not attempt to make any
adjustments to your furnace. Your dealer will be able to take

inspection of your furnace should be made by a qualified
servicer at the start of each heating season.

Clean the enamel finish of your furnace with a damp cloth

household detergent. Lacquer thinner or other synthetic
