1.2.1) Safety Rules
Your unit is built to provide many years of safe and dependable
service, provided it is properly installed and maintained. However,
abuse and/or improper use can shorten the life of the unit and create
hazards for you, the owner.
a.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends
that users of oil-burning appliances install carbon monoxide
detectors. There can be various sources of carbon monoxide in a
building or dwelling. The sources could be gas-fired clothes
dryers, gas cooking stoves, water heaters, furnaces, gas-fired
fireplaces, wood fireplaces, and several other items. Carbon
monoxide can cause serious bodily injury and/or death.
Therefore, to help alert people to potentially dangerous carbon
monoxide levels, you should have carbon monoxide detectors
listed by a nationally recognised agency (ex. Underwriters
Laboratories or International Approval Services) installed and
maintained in the building or dwelling (see Note below).
b.
There can be numerous sources of fire or smoke in a building or
dwelling. Fire or smoke can cause serious bodily injury, death,
and/or property damage. Therefore, in order to alert people to
potentially dangerous fire or smoke conditions, you should have
Underwriters Laboratories listed fire and smoke detectors
installed and maintained in the building or dwelling (see Note
below).
NOTE: The manufacturer of your furnace does not test
detectors and makes no representations regarding any
brand or type of detector.
CAUTION
Ensure that the area around the combustion air intake
terminal is free of snow, ice and debris
.
CAUTION
An air pressure switch MUST be used when the furnace
is side-wall vented.
CAUTION
Do not use any commercially available soot remover.
This furnace has a ceramic fibre type of combustion
chamber. Normal servicing of this unit does not require
the cleaning of same. Use extreme caution if for any
reason you have to work in the area of the combustion
chamber.
1.2.2) Freezing Temperatures and Your Structure
WARNING
Freezing temperature warning.
Turn off water supply.
If your heater remains shut off during cold weather,
the water pipes could freeze and burst, resulting in
serious water damage.
Your unit is equipped with safety devices that may keep it from
operating if sensors detect abnormal conditions such as clogged
exhaust flues.
If the structure is unattended during cold weather you should take the
following precautions:
a. Turn off main water supply into the structure and drain the water
lines if possible. Open faucets in appropriate areas;
b. Have someone check the structure frequently during cold
weather to make sure it is warm enough to prevent pipes from
freezing. Contact a qualified service agency, if required.
1.2.3) Installation regulations
All local and national code requirements governing the installation of
oil burning equipment, wiring and flue connections MUST be followed.
Some of the codes that may be applicable are:
CSA B139
INSTALLATION CODE FOR OIL
BURNING EQUIPMENT
NFPA 31 INSTALLATION OF OIL BURNING
EQUIPMENT
ANSI/NFPA 90B WARM AIR HEATING AND AIR
CONDITIONING SYSTEMS
ANSI/NFPA 70 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
CSA C22.1 CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE
Only the latest issues of the above codes should be used.
1.3) POSITIONING THE FURNACE
CAUTION
Carefully check your furnace upon delivery for any
evidence of damage that may have occurred during
shipping and handling. Any claims for damages or lost
