Notice to Owner

To ensure the long term benefits of burning your used oil in a Reznor® Used-
Oil-Fired Heater, it is necessary to become familiar with the correct instal

lation and maintenance of your new furnace. Before installing or operating
this heater, make sure you have read and understand this manual.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR LACK OF MAINTENANCE
WILL VOID THE WARRANTY
.

passage blockage will affect the draft. Burning used oil is similar to burning

accumulation of ash will eventually affect the draft. It is important to remove
this ash before the draft is affected.
These topics are discussed in detail on the pages listed above. Please famil

iarize yourself with these sections of your manual. Spending a few minutes
to review this material will assure that you receive the return on investment
that you expect from your heater.
