AIR REQUIREMENTS
The unit requires air for combustion of the gas. Therefore, DO
NOT block or obstruct the air or vent openings to the furnace.
Keep the area surrounding the unit free from debris and snow.
A vent stack is not required, and must never be used.
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH FROM ASPHYXIATION CAN RESULT FROM
EXPOSURE TO CARBON MONOXIDE. CARBON MONOXIDE OR “CO” IS A
COLORLESS AND ODORLESS GAS PRODUCED WHEN FUEL IS NOT BURNED
COMPLETELY OR WHEN THE FLAME DOES NOT RECEIVE SUFFICIENT OXYGEN.
BE AWARE OF THESE AIR STARVATION SIGNALS WHICH INDICATE CONDITIONS
THAT MAY RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE OR THAT CARBON MONOXIDE MAY
BE PRESENT:
1. HEADACHES-NAUSEA-DIZZINESS, FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS.
2. EXCESSIVE HUMIDITY-HEAVILY FROSTED WINDOWS OR A MOIST “CLAMMY”
FEELING IN THE HOME.
3. SMOKE FROM A FIREPLACE WILL NOT DRAW UP THE CHIMNEY.
4. FLUE GASES THAT WILL NOT DRAW UP THE APPLIANCE VENT PIPE.
WARNING
TO PREVENT PROPERTY DAMAGE OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY DUE TO
FIRE OR EXPLOSION CAUSED BY A PROPANE GAS LEAK, INSTALL A GAS
DETECTING WARNING DEVICE.
IF THE PROPANE GAS UNIT IS INSTALLED IN AN EXCAVATED AREA OR A
CONFINED SPACE, A WARNING DEVICE IS REQUIRED DUE TO:
• PROPANE GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR AND ANY LEAKING GAS CAN
SETTLE IN ANY LOW AREAS OR CONFINED SPACES.
• PROPANE GAS ODORANT MAY FADE, MAKING THE GAS UNDETECTABLE
EXCEPT WITH A WARNING DEVICE.
WARNING
THERMOSTAT
Thisunitwillnotoperateproperlywithoutagoodquality,correctly
installed thermostat. It is very important that the thermostat be
locatedwhereitcanbest “sense”theaverageroomtemperature.
Be sure the thermostat is not exposed to hot or cold drafts or to
hot or cold spots on the wall, such as those received from outside
walls, walls with pipes inside, or from openings into the attic.
No matter the type or style, thermostat operation is basically
the same. The most widely used types will control both heating
and cooling functions and will have a Fan Switch with Auto and
ONsettings. OnAuto,theCirculatingAir Blowerwillcycleon/off,
but if switched to ON it will run constantly.
For Dual Fuel units, a Dual Fuel thermostat with an outdoor
temperature sensor is recommended for optimal operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To avoid the possibility of damage to the
unit heat exchanger, do not set the thermostat fan switch to
ON (constant fan operation) during the heating season
without first consulting the installer of the unit or another
qualified servicer.
There are thermostats that automatically switch from Heating
to Cooling, or with night setbacks. The night setback, or
multiple setback type, will lower the temperature at night or
during the day when the building is unoccupied.
Should the gas supply fail to shut off or if overheating occurs,
shut off the gas valve to the furnace before shutting off the
electrical supply.
En cas de temperature excessive, ou s’il est impossible de
couper l’alimentation en gaz, termer le robinet manuel
d’alimentation en gaz du generateur d’air chaud avant de
couper l’alimentation electrique.
Do not use this furnace if any part has been under water. A
flood-damaged furnace is extremely dangerous. Attempts to
use the furnace can result in fire or explosion. A qualified
service agency should be contacted to inspect the furnace and
to replace all gas controls, control systemarts, electrical parts
that have been wet or the furnace if deemed necessary.”
Ne pas utiliser cet appareil de chauffage s’il a ete en partie
immerge dans l’eau. Un appareil de chauffage endommage
par une inondation est extremement dangereux. S’il est
utilise, un incendie ou une explosion peut se produire. II faut
avoir recours a une entreprise d’entretien qualifiee pour faire
inspecter l’appareil de chauffage etemplacer toutes les
commandes de gaz, lesieces du systeme de controle, les
pieces electriques qui sont entrees en contact avec l’eau ou
l’appareil de chauffage lui-meme, si cela est juge necessaire.
PROPANE (LP) GAS INSTALLATIONS ONLY
For units operating on propane gas, please review the following
warnings before use.
TO AVOID PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH DUE TO EXPLOSION OR FIRE, INSTALL A GAS
DETECTING WARNING DEVICE. SINCE THE ODORANT IN
PROPANE GAS CAN BE REDUCED BY IRON OXIDE (RUST),
A GAS DETECTING WARNING DEVICE IS THE ONLY
RELIABLE METHOD TO DETECT PROPANE GAS LEAKS.
