Your Safety is Important to Us!
This symbol is used throughout

following the warnings in these
sections.
Installation, service and annual
inspection of heater must be done by a contractor
qualified in the installation and service of gas-fired

operation or service of this equipment.
Not all heaters are approved for residential
installation. Check the heater’s silver rating plate for
residential approval status. Heaters that do not have
residential approval must not be installed in
residential spaces. These instructions, the layout
drawing, local codes and ordinances and applicable
standards that apply to gas piping, electrical wiring,
venting, etc. must be thoroughly understood before

Protective gear is to be worn during installation,
operation and service. Thin sheet metal parts,
including the various venting components, have
sharp edges. To prevent injury, the use of work
gloves is recommended.
Before installation, check that the local distribution
conditions, nature of gas and pressure and
adjustment of the appliance are compatible.
