OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
1. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fire-rated construction.
2. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back drafting. Follow
the heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and
safety standards such as those published by the
