frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc.
If these compounds enter the air supply of the burner, the lifes-
pan of the heater components will be greatly reduced. An out-
side air supply must be provided to the burners whenever the
presence of these compounds is suspected. Warranty

hydrocarbons.
