WARNING: The use and storage of gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this appliance is hazardous.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

If you smell gas:
1. Open windows.
2. Don't touch electrical switches.
3. Extinguish any open flame.
4. Immediately call your gas supplier.

WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service, or maintenance can cause property damage, injury or
death. Read the installation, operation, and maintenance
instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this
equipment.

WARNING: Gas-fired appliances are not designed for use in
hazardous atmospheres containing flammable vapors or
combustible dust, or atmospheres containing chlorinated or
halogenated hydrocarbons. See Hazard Levels, page 2.

WARNING: On makeup air heaters which also recirculate room
air, outside ventilation air must be provided in accordance with
the information shown on the heater nameplate.
Recirculation of room air may be hazardous in the presence of:

(a) Flammable solids, liquids, and gases;
(b) Explosive materials; or
(c) Substances which may become toxic when exposed to heat.

General Description

The information in this manual applies to Reznor

®

 Model RDF Series 3 direct-

fired makeup air heating systems. The typical system consists of a direct-fired,
natural gas-fueled burner, and a draw-through blower housed in a weatherized
cabinet. The system may be installed either indoors or outdoors.

This direct-fired makeup air system provides tempered makeup air. Makeup
air is defined as air that enters a building or area due to negative pressure
created by an air exhaust load in excess of the volume of entering air. This
system warms the outside air and monitors the volume and temperature of the
makeup air added to the building. The system may be used to provide ventila-
tion in whole building or in spot applications. In whole building applications,
adding controlled makeup air will cause less infiltration of dust and dirt; will
eliminate continuous backdraft in chimneys and vents; and will reduce space
heating fuel costs.
