TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS:
■
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you
have questions, contact the manufacturer.
■
Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch the power off at the
service panel and lock the service panel to prevent power from being
switched on accidentally. If the service panel cannot be locked, securely
fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag to the service panel.
■
Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction.
■
Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of
gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment to prevent
backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and
safety standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and
Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.
■
When cutting or drilling into the wall or ceiling; do not damage
electrical wiring and other hidden utilities.

Ducted fans must always be vented outdoors.
CAUTION
For general ventilating use only. Do not use to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials and vapors.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust air, be sure to duct air
outside - do not vent exhaust air into spaces within walls or ceilings, attics
or into crawl spaces, or garages.
