WARNING:
Read these rules and the 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 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
:
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. Field conversions for high altitude are not
permitted in Canada.
4. 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 the furnace in an alcove.
3. DO NOT install this furnace where it could be isolated by
closing doors to the heated space.
4. DO NOT install this furnace in a travel trailer or
recreational vehicle.
5. MAINTAIN all clearances specified in section "Locating
Wall furnace and Thermostat" and "Vent Installation."
6. BE SURE this furnace is for the 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 without the
proper manufacturer’s Gas Conversion Kit.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Install the furnace vent directly to the outdoors, so that
harmful 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.
10. BE SURE to provide for adequate combustion and
ventilation air. The flow of this air to the furnace must not
be blocked.
11. NEVER vent flue gases into another room, a fireplace or
any space inside a building. This could cause property
damage, bodily injury or death.
12. 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.
13. ALLOW the furnace to cool before servicing. Always
shut off electricity and gas to the furnace when working
on it. This will prevent any electrical shocks or burns.
14. DUE TO HIGH TEMPERATURES, locate the furnace out
of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.
15. ALERT children and adults to the hazards of high surface
temperatures and warn them to keep away to avoid
burns or clothing ignition.
16. CAREFULLY supervise young children when they are in
the same room with the furnace.
17. DO NOT place clothing or other flammable material on or
near furnace.
18. 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 important 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.
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.
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.
