For quiet and efficient operation, long life, and attractive appear-
ance - lower or remove grille and vacuum interior of unit with the
dusting brush attachment.

The motor is permanently lubricated and never needs oiling. If the
motor bearings are making excessive or unusual noises, replace
the motor with the exact service motor. The impeller should also
be replaced.

ment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guideline and safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),
and the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air
