Safety Section – Gas Furnaces

BURN HAZARD
Do not attempt to manually light the furnace. Failure to follow 

this warning could result in property damage, personal injury 

or death.

The furnace is equipped with a blocked vent shut-off system. 

When the furnace vent is blocked, a pressure switch will shut  

off the furnace. Call a qualified servicer.

SAFETY HAZARD
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or 

maintenance can cause injury or property damage. See regular 

maintenance on page 9 for annual general inspection. For 

assistance or additional information consult a qualified installer, 

service agency or the gas supplier. Failure to follow this warning 

could result in property damage, personal injury or death.

EXPLOSION HAZARD
Propane gas is heavier than air and may collect in any low areas 

or confined spaces. In addition, odorant fade may make the gas 

undetectable except with a warning device. If the gas furnace is 

installed in a basement, an excavated area or a confined space, it 

is strongly recommended to contact a gas supplier to install a gas 

detecting warning device in case of a gas leak. The manufacturer 

of your furnace does not test any detectors and makes no 

representations regarding any brand or type of detector. 

Never operate your unit for either heating or cooling with 

filters removed.

SAFETY HAZARD
Sharp Edge Hazard. Be careful of sharp edges on equipment 

or any cuts made on sheet metal while installing or servicing. 

Personal injury may result. 

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only. 

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing 

other than that contained in these operating instructions unless 

you are qualified to do so. 
Failure to follow this warning could result in property damage, 

personal injury or death.

CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD
For proper and safe operation of the furnace, air for combustion 

and ventilation must be provided. Do not block or obstruct air 

openings on the furnace, air openings to the area in which the 

furnace is installed, or the space around the furnace.
Failure to follow this warning could result in property damage, 

personal injury or death.

EXPLOSION HAZARD
Should overheating occur, or the gas supply fail to shut off, shut 

off the manual gas valve to the furnace before shutting off the 

electrical supply.
Failure to follow this warning could result in property damage, 

personal injury or death.

If the furnace is shut down during the cold weather months, 

provisions must be taken to prevent freeze-up of all water  

pipes and water receptacles.

Do NOT touch igniter. It is extremely hot.

The furnace area must be kept clear and free of combustible 

materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Insulating materials may be combustible. The furnace must be 

kept free and clear from insulating material. Examine the area 

around the furnace for insulation after installation or when 

insulation is added.

The combustion air for your furnace must be fresh 

uncontaminated air. Paints, varnishes, laundry bleaches, 

detergents, many household cleaners, water softening salts, 

adhesives, and all such products release fumes containing 

compounds which could lead to early heat exchanger and vent 

system deterioration. Do not store these types of products near 

your furnace.

For horizontally vented furnaces, the vent and inlet terminals 

must be located at least 12 inches minimum (18 inches in 

Canada) above normally expected snow accumulation level.
