0.0 INTRODUCTION
General Installation Requirements
This document pertains to the correct installation and operation of NTI Matrix appliance, models numbers M100 and M100V. The
instructions detailed in this document supersede any and all previous instructions provided by NTI, written or otherwise. Each unit
is provided with the following:
1) Installation and Operation Instructions,
2) Matrix Users Manual, and
3) Natural to LP Conversion Kit *
* The conversion kit is required to convert the appliance so it will safely operate with Propane Gas.
Read and understand this entire document prior to proceeding with the installation of the Matrix. Failure
to follow the instructions outlined in this document will result in property damage, serious injury or
death.
User Responsibilities
This appliance must be installed and serviced by a qualified installer or service technician. This appliance must be serviced and
inspected annually when operating in normal residential applications. Demanding applications or extreme conditions (i.e.
commercial) may require more frequent service and inspection. As the User/Owner of this equipment, you are responsible for
ensuring the maintenance is performed at the required intervals. It is also the Users responsibility to ensure Vent and Combustion-
Air Intake termination is kept clear of ice and snow or any other obstruction. Failure to follow these instructions could result in
fire, serious injury, or death.
Failure to have the appliance properly serviced and inspected on a regular basis may result in property
damage, serious injury or death.
Failure to keep the Vent and Combustion Air Intake clear of ice, snow, and other debris may result in
property damage, serious injury, or death.
Installer Responsibilities
As the installing technician it is your responsibility to ensure the installation is performed in accordance with this instruction
manual as well as any applicable local or National installation codes. It is also your responsibility to inform the User/Owner of
their obligation with respect to the above description under “User Responsibilities”. Failure to follow this warning could result in
fire, serious injury, or death.
ATTENTION: LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM (LP) PROPANE
The Matrix is factory set to operate with Natural Gas. BEFORE OPERATING WITH PROPANE, the specified LP
Conversion Kit must be installed to convert the appliance so it will operate safely with LP Propane.
Liquefied Petroleum (LP) propane gas is heavier than air; therefore, it is imperative that your Matrix unit is not
installed in a pit or similar location that will permit heavier than air gas to collect. Local Codes may require appliances
fueled with LP gas be provided with an approved means of removing unburned gases from the room. Check your local
codes for this requirement.
