Furnace Filter
WARNING:
Never operate the furnace without a fi lter in
place. Accumulating dust in the return air can

possible fi re.
CMF2 Furnaces are supplied with a single air fi lter
when shipped from the factory. It is recommended that
the fi lter be cleaned or replaced monthly. Newly built or
recently renovated homes may require more frequent
changing until the construction dust has minimized.
repklacement fi lters are available at most local retailers.
Inspect fi lters frequently and replace when necessary
with fi lter of same dimensional size
Filters designed to remove smaller particles such as
pollen, may require additional maintenance.
Blower Compartment
Dirt and lint can create excessive loads on the motor
resulting in higher than normal operating temperatures and
shortened service life. Vacuum or wipe clean the interior
of furnace cabinet. Clean all lint and dust from around the
furnace. It is recommended that the blower compartment
be cleaned of dirt or lint that may have accumulated in
the compartment or on the blower and motor as part of
regular maintenance.

beginning and end of the heating system for deterioration,
blockage, or damage. Clean the system, if necessary.
