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.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

The use and storage of gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in

open containers in the vicinity of this appliance is hazardous.

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, in

atmospheres containing chlorinated or halogenated hydrocarbons, or in

applications with airborne silicone substances. See Hazard Levels, page

2.

GENERAL

The  instructions  in  this  manual  apply  to

Model SCE blower-type unit heater with

blower cabinet.
Installation should be done by a qualified

agency in accordance with the instructions

in this manual and in compliance with all

codes and requirements of authorities hav-

ing jurisdiction.
Model SCE is design-certified by the Canadian Standards Association to ANSI Standards

and approved to CSA Standards. Model SCE is available for use with either natural or

propane gas. The type of gas, the firing rate, and the electrical characteristics are on the unit

rating plate.
This separated combustion unit is designed and manufactured in accordance with the ANSI

definition of separated combustion. That definition reads, "Separated Combustion System

Appliance: A system consisting of an appliance and a vent cap(s) supplied by the manufac-

turer, and (1) combustion air connections between the appliance and the outside atmo-

sphere, and (2) flue gas connections between the appliance and vent cap, of a type(s)

specified by the manufacturer but supplied by the installer, constructed so that, when in-

stalled in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, air for combustion is obtained

from the outside atmosphere and flue gases are discharged to the outside atmosphere."
Separated combustion units are designed to separate air for combustion and flue products

from the environment of the building in which the unit is installed. Separated combustion
