SAFETY SECTION
The fl)llowing safety practices and precautions must be
fl)llowed during the installation, servicing, an(] operation of
this fllrnace.
1. Use only with the type of gas approved fl)r this fllrnace.
Reler to the fllrnace rating plate.
2. Install this fllrnace only in a location and position as
specified in "Location and Clearances" (page 3), of these
instructions.
3. Provide adequate combustion and ventilation air to the
fllrnace space as specified in "Air lot Combustion and
Ventilation" (pages 8-9), of these instructions.
4. Combustion products must be discharged outdoors.
Connect this fllrnace to an approved vent system only, as
specified in the "Venting" section (pages 11-18), of these
instructions.
5. Never test fl)r gas leaks with an open flame. Use a
commercially available soap solution made specifically
fl)r the detection of leaks to check all connections, as
specified in "Gas Piping" (pages 22-23), of these
instructions.
6. Always install the fllrnace to operate within the fllrnace's
intended temperature-rise range with a duct system
which has an external static pressure within the allow-
able range, as specified on the unit rating plate. Airfow
with temperature rise lot cfln versus static is shown in
the Service Facts accompanying this fllrnace.
7. When a fllrnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air
circulated by the fllrnace to areas outside the space
containing the fllrnace, the return air shall also be
handled by a duct(s) sealed to the fllrnace casing and
terminating outside the space containing the fllrnace.
8. A gas-fired fllrnace lbr installation in a residential garage
must be installed as specified in "Location and Clear-
ances" section (page 3), of these instructions.
9. The fllrnace may be tlsed :[or temporary heating of
buildings or structures under construction only when the
fl)llowing conditions have been met:
a. The fllrnace venting system must be complete and
installed per manufacturers instructions.
b. The fllrnace is controlled only by a room thermostat
(no field jumpers).
c. The fllrnace return air duct must be complete and
sealed to the fllrnace and clean air filters are in place.
d. The fllrnace input rate and temperature rise must be
verified to be within nameplate marking.
e. 100% of the fllrnace combustion air requirement
must come from outside the structure.
f. The fllrnace return air temperature range is between
55 and 80 degrees Farenhiet.
g. Clean the fllrnace, duct work, and components upon
substantial completion of the construction process, and
verily/fllrnace operating conditions including ignition,
input rate, temperature rise and venting, according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Safety signal words are used to designate a degree or level of
seriousness associated with a particular hazard. The signal
words lbr salety markings are DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION.
a. DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
This signal word is limited to the most extreme situa-
tions.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance
connected to the venting system being placed into operation
could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each appliance
connected to the venting system being placed into opera-
tion, while all other appliances connected to the venting
system are not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizon-
tal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CAN/CGA B149 Installation
Codes and these instructions. Determine that there is
no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other
deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows
and all doors between the space in which the
appliance(s) connected to the venting system are
located and other deficiencies which could cause an
unsafe condition.
4.
5.
Close fireplace dampers.
Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected
to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such
as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they are
operating at maximum speed. Do not operate a sum-
mer exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance
being inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat
so appliance is operating continuously.
7. If improper venting is observed during any of the above
tests, the venting system must be corrected in accor-
dance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z221.1/
NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes.
8. After it has been determined that each appliance
connected to the venting system properly vents where
tested as outlined above, return doors, windows,
exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-
fired burning appliance to their previous conditions of
use.

c.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not aw_ided, could result in death or serious
injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not aw_ided, may result in minor or moderate
injury. It is also used to alert against unsafe practices
and hazards inw_lving only property damage.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result in
serious injury, death or property damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous operation,
serious injury, death, or property damage.
