INSTALLATION MUST CONFORM TO LOCAL CODES. IN THE
ABSENCE OF LOCAL CODES, INSTALLATION MUST
CONFORM TO 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:
Installation must conform to local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, the current
CAN/CGA B149 Installation code.
The appliance, when installed, must be grounded in
accordance with local codes, with the current CSA
C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code.
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.
WARNING:
Do not use this furnace if any part has
been under water. Immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect the furnace and to
replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
1.
Use only manufacturer’s replacement parts. Use of any
other parts could cause injury or death.
2.
DO NOT install the furnace where it could be isolated by
closing doors to the heated space.
3.
DO NOT install these furnaces in a travel trailer, recreational
vehicle or mobile home.
4.
MAINTAIN all clearances specified in section “Locating Wall
Furnace and Thermostat” and “Vent Installation.”
5.
BE SURE the furnace is for type of gas being used. Check
the nameplate by the gas valve in the lower cabinet. Do not
change it to use other gases without the proper
manufacturer’s gas conversion kit.
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.
Vent the furnace directly to the outdoors, so that harmful
gases will not collect inside the building. Follow the venting
instructions for your type installation exactly. Use only the
type and size of vent pipe and fittings specified.
9.
Provide for adequate combustion and ventilation air. See
page 7. 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 leaks with an open flame. Use a soap
solution to check all gas connections. This will avoid the
possibility of fire or explosions.
12.
,
ALLOW 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.
18. BEFORE INSTALLING: To avoid electrical shock, turn 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 the
furnace while cutting or drilling holes in wood and/or sheet
metal.
20. CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls.
21. DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids or
vapors near the furnace.
WARNING:
Do not install any of these furnaces (Natural or
L.P. Gas) in mobile homes, trailers or recreational vehicles.
