WARNING
VENTING
Inadequate venting of a heater may result in asphyxiation, carbon monoxide poisoning,
injury or death. The heater may be directly or indirectly vented from the space. Venting
must be in accordance with all local, state, provincial, and national codes (ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA; B149.1 in Canada) and as indicated in this manual.
WARNING
START-UP SMOKE CONDITION
During start up, the heating of material coatings used in the production process of tubes
and reflectors will create smoke and/or odors during the initial period of operation. This
condition is normal and temporary. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation to
adequately clear any smoke and/or odors from the space. Notify site and safety
personnel to ensure that alarm systems are not unduly activated.
