WARNING: The hot surface gas igniter (HSI/glow bar) and the hot surface ignition module are not
repairable and a faulty hot surface gas igniter or faulty hot surface ignition module must be replaced
with a new, factory specified replacement part. The ignition characteristics of this PVI Industries
specified hot surface gas igniter and hot surface ignition module are unique and replacements are only
available from PVI Industries or a PVI Industries authorized representative. Any modification, attempts to
repair, or part substitution will invalidate the warranty and may create hazardous conditions that result
in property damage, personal injury, fire, explosion, exposure to hazardous materials or death.
WARNING:
When servicing the controls, use exact, Factory authorized, replacement parts and label all
wires prior to disconnection. Verify proper operation after servicing. Incorrect parts substitution and
wiring errors can cause damage, improper operation, fire, carbon monoxide and other unexpected and
unsafe conditions that could result in property damage, personal injury, fire, explosion, exposure to
exposure to hazardous materials or death.
WARNING: IMPROPER COMBUSTION MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
.
PVI recommends this
appliance be installed and commissioned by a qualified gas appliance service agent. Additionally, PVI
recommends a seasonal or annual combustion evaluation be performed by a qualified service agent to
confirm proper combustion, with a carbon monoxide level no higher than 200 ppm, exhausting to the
outdoors through a properly operating flue system. If Carbon Monoxide, which is colorless and
odorless, enters an occupied space it can result in property damage, personal injury or death.
