1. Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you
have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address or tele-
phone number listed in the warranty.
2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel

to the service panel.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a qualified
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction codes and standards.
4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of
gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to pre-
vent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s
guidelines and safety standards such as those published by the Na-
tional Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the American Soci-
ety for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
(ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
