WARNING
IF YOUR PROPANE GAS APPLIANCE IS INSTALLED IN
AN EXCAVATED AREA OR A CONFINED SPACE, WE
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CONTACT
YOUR PROPANE SUPPLIER ABOUT INSTALLING A
GAS DETECTING WARNING DEVICE THAT WOULD
ALERT YOU TO A GAS LEAK.
• PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND ANY
LEAKING GAS CAN SETTLE IN ANY LOW AREAS
OR CONFINED SPACES.
• PROPANE GAS ODORANT MAY FADE, MAKING
THE GAS UNDETECTABLE EXCEPT WITH A
WARNING DEVICE.
AN UNDETECTED GAS LEAK WILL CREATE A
DANGER OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE. IF YOU SUSPECT
THE PRESENCE OF GAS, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCT-
IONS ON PAGE 7. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

COOLING
The refrigerant used in the system is R-410A. It is a clear,
colorless, non-toxic and non-irritating liquid. R-410A is a
50:50 blend of R-32 and R-125. The boiling point at atmo-
spheric pressure is -62.9°F.
A few of the important principles that make the refrigeration
cycle possible are: heat always flows from a warmer to a
cooler body. Under lower pressure, a refrigerant will absorb
heat and vaporize at a low temperature. The vapors may be
drawn off and condensed at a higher pressure and tempera-
ture to be used again.
