1.3 DETECTION SYSTEMS
It is recommended that carbon monoxide detectors be
installed wherever oil or gas fired heaters are used.
Carbon monoxide can cause bodily harm or death. For
this reason, agency approved carbon monoxide detectors
should be installed in your residence and properly
maintained to warn of dangerously high carbon monoxide
levels.
There are several sources of possible smoke and flames
in a residence. Smoke and flames can cause bodily harm
or death. For this reason, agency approved smoke
detectors should be installed in your residence and
properly maintained, to warn early on, of a potentially
dangerous fire. Also, the house should be equipped with
approved and properly maintained fire extinguishers.
Your unit is equipped with safety devices that can prevent it
from functioning when anomalies are detected such as a
blocked venting system.
1.4 DANGER OF FREEZING
CAUTION
If your furnace is shut down during the cold weather
season, water pipes may freeze, burst and cause serious
water damage. Turn off the water supply and bleed the
pipes.
If the heater is left unattended during the cold weather
season, take the following precautions:
a.
Close the main water valve in the house and purge the
pipes if possible. Open all the faucets in the house;
b.
Ask someone to frequently check the house during the
cold weather season to make sure that there is
sufficient heat to prevent the pipes from freezing. Tell
this person to call an emergency number if required.
