SAFE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
Installation or repairs made by unqualified persons
can result in hazards to you and others. Installation
MUST conform to codes or, in the absence of local
codes, to codes of the country having jurisdiction.
The information contained in this manual is
intended for use by a qualified service technician
familiar with safety procedures and equipped with
the proper tools and test instruments.
Failure to carefully read and follow all instructions
in this manual can result in furnace malfunction,
property damage, personal injury and/or death.
WARNING
Fire hazard
The furnace must be installed in a level position,
never where it will slope toward the front.
If the furnace is installed in that position, oil will
drain into the furnace vestibule and create a fire
hazard, instead of being directed into the
combustion chamber
.
NOTE:
It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to contact a qualified installer to ensure that the installation conforms
to governing local and/or national codes and ordinances.
