DANGER: Make sure the gas on which the heater
will operate is the same type as that specified on the
heater rating plate.
WARNING: Heaters using propane gas are different
from natural gas models. A natural gas heater will
not function safely on propane and vice versa.
Conversions of heater gas type should only be
made by qualified installers using factory supplied
components. The heater should only use the fuel
type in accordance with listing on rating plate.
Any other fuel usage will result in death or serious
personal injury from fire and/or explosion.
WARNING: Should overheating occur or the gas
supply valve fail to shut, do not turn off or disconnect
the electrical supply to the heater. Instead, shut off
the gas supply at a location external to the heater.
WARNING: Do not use this heater if any part has
been under water. Immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect the heater and to
replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
WARNING: To minimize the possibility of improper
operation, serious personal injury, fire, or damage to
the heater:
• Always keep the area around the heater free
of combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable liquids and vapors.
• Heater should never be covered or have any
blockage to the flow of fresh air to the heater.
CAUTION: This heater requires forced water
circulation when the burner is operating. See tables
F and G for flow rate information. Severe damage
will occur if the heater is operated without proper
water flow circulation.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. More than one
disconnect switch may be required to de-energize
the equipment before servicing.
WARNING: Both natural gas and propane have
an odorant added to aid in detecting a gas leak.
Some people may not physically be able to smell
or recognize this odorant. If you are unsure or
unfamiliar with the smell of natural gas or propane,
ask your local gas supplier. Other conditions, such
as "odorant fade," which causes the odorant to
diminish in intensity, can also hide, camouflage, or
otherwise make detecting a gas leak by smell more
difficult.
WARNING: UL-recognized fuel gas detectors are
recommended in all enclosed propane and natural
gas applications wherein there is a potential for an
explosive mixture of fuel gas to accumulate and
their installation should be in accordance with the
detector manufacturer's recommendations and/or
local laws, rules, regulations, or customs.
WARNING - CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65: This
product contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
CAUTION: If this heater is to be installed above
radiation level, it must be provided with a low water
cut-off device at the time of heater installation.
CAUTION: If this heater is to be installed in a
negative or positive pressure equipment room, there
are special installation requirements. Consult factory
for details.
