INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THESE RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS
COULD CAUSE A MALFUNCTION OF THE
FURNACE. THIS COULD RESULT IN DEATH,
SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
Installation must conform to local codes. In the absence of local
codes, installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1. The appliance, when installed, must be electrically
connected and grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the current National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA NO. 70.
In Canada
:
1. Installation must conform to local codes or, in
the absence of local codes, the current
CAN/CGA B149 installation code.
2. The appliance, when installed, must be
electrically
connected
and
grounded
in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence
of local codes, with the current CSA C22.1
Canadian Electrical code.
3. Reference is made in this manual regarding gas
type as L.P.G. Be advised that L.P.G. is not
available in Canada, refer to propane/L.P. Gas.
1. Use only manufacturer's replacement parts. Use of any
other parts could cause injury or death.
2. DO NOT install this furnace where it could be isolated by
closing doors to the heated space.
3. DO NOT install this furnace in a travel trailer or
recreational vehicle.
4. MAINTAIN all clearances specified in section "Locating
Wall Furnace and Thermostat".
5. BE SURE this furnace is for type of gas to be used.
Check the rating plate by the gas valve in the lower
cabinet. Do not change it to use other gases.
6. For natural gas, the minimum inlet gas supply pressure
for the purpose of input adjustment is 5" water column.
The maximum inlet gas supply pressure is 7" water
column.
For L.P. Gas, the minimum inlet gas supply pressure for
the purpose of input adjustment is 11" water column. The
maximum inlet gas supply pressure is 13" water column.
7. Any safety screen, guard or parts removed for servicing
this appliance must be replaced prior to operating the
appliance to avoid property damage, bodily injury or
death.
8. Install the furnace vent directly to the outdoors so that
harmful combustible flue gases will not collect inside the
building. Follow the venting instructions for your type of
installation exactly. Use only the type and size of vent
pipe and fittings specified.
9. BE SURE to provide for adequate combustion and
ventilation air. The flow of this air to the furnace must not
be blocked.
10. NEVER vent flue gases into another room, a fireplace or
any space inside a building. This could cause property
damage, bodily injury or death.
11. Never test for gas teaks with an open flame. Use a soap
solution to check all gas connections. This will avoid the
possibility of fire or explosion.
12. ALLOW the furnace to cool before servicing. Always shut
off electricity and gas to furnace when working on it. This
will prevent any electrical shocks or burns.
13. DUE TO HIGH TEMPERATURES, locate the furnace out
of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
14. ALERT children and adults to the hazards of high surface
temperatures and warn them to keep away to avoid
burns or clothing ignition.
15. CAREFULLY supervise young children when they are in
the same room with the furnace.
16. DO NOT place clothing or other flammable material on or
near furnace.
17. INSTALLATION and REPAIR must be done by a qualified
service person. The appliance should be inspected
before use and at least annually by a professional
service person. More frequent cleaning may be required
due to excessive lint from carpeting, bedding material,
etc. It is imperative that control compartments, burners
and circulating air passages be kept clean. Failure to
keep burner-control compartment and other parts of
furnace clean can cause dangerous conditions to
develop which can cause injury and even death.
18. BEFORE INSTALLING: To avoid electrical shock, tum off
electrical circuits that pass through the wall where you
are going to install the furnace.
19. BE AWARE of good safety practices by wearing personal
protective equipment such as gloves and safety glasses
to avoid being injured by sharp metal edges in or around
furnace and while cutting or drilling holes in wood and/or
sheet metal.
20. CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after
servicing.
Always shut-off electricity to furnace when working on it.
This will prevent any electrical shocks or burns.
21. DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids
or vapors near the furnace.
WARNING:
Do not use this furnace if any part has
been under water. Immediately call a certified
service technician to inspect the furnace and to
replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
