AVERTISSEMENT
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result
in serious injury, death or property damage.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame.
Use a commercially available soap solution made
specifically for the detection of leaks to check all
connections. A fire or explosion may result causing
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
RISQUE D'INCENDIE OU D'EXPLOSION
Si les consignes de sécurité ne sont pas suivies à la lettre,
cela peut entraîner la mort, de graves blessures ou des
dommages matériels.
Ne jamais vérifier la présence de fuites de gaz au moyen
d'une flamme nue. Vérifier tous les raccords en utilisant
une solution savonneuse commerciale conçue
spécialement pour la détection de fuites. Un incendie ou
une explosion risque de se produire, ce qui peut entraîner
la mort, des blessures ou des dommages matériels.
CAUTION
FROZEN AND BURST WATER PIPE HAZARD
Failure to protect against the risk of freezing may result in
property damage.
Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace
in an area which may drop below freezing. This can cause
improper operation or damage to equipment. If the furnace
environment has the potential of freezing, the drain trap
and drain line must be protected. The use of accessory drain
trap heaters, electric heat tape and/or RV antifreeze is
recommended for these installations.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury or death due to improper
installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance,
refer to this manual. For additional assistance or
information, consult a qualified installer, servicer agency
or the gas supplier.
