AIR FOR COMbUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall not be installed in a room or space
unless the required volume of indoor combustion air is provided by
the method described in the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54,
the
International Fuel Gas Code,
or applicable local codes.
Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this
and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materials, increased insulation
and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip
and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During
heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.
