Maintenance Instructions. Cozy Hi-Efficient Direct Vent

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

• FOR PROPER AND SAFE OPERATION KEEP FURNACE & FURNACE AREA CLEAN

At regular intervals turn control valve to off, let cool and clean inside control and heat exchanger compartment. To clean front panel use only a damp cloth, do not use any kind of solvent or cleaning fluid that could leave a residue to burn or give off fumes when furnace is turned on.

• CHECKING THE FURNACE

Have the furnace checked, cleaned, and repaired by a qualified service technician. Check venting system, and burner operation prior to use each year.

• SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

Follow a regular service and maintenance schedule for safe and efficient operation.

• DO NOT OBSTRUCT COMBUSTION & VENTILATION AIR

Examine the venting system as a routine part of the safety performance check on an annual basis.

• REMOVED HEAT EXCHANGER

If the heat exchanger is removed, check the heat exchanger intake gasket and draft inducer gasket and replace if there is any sign of damage. Be sure all gaskets are in place when the heat exchanger is replaced.

• DAMAGED GASKETS

Failure to replace any gasket that has been damaged may result in property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Oil the bearings of the fan motor every 6 months with S.A.E. 20 oil.
