CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND UNIT DAM-
AGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death, and unit component damage.
Corrosive or contaminated air may cause failure of parts
containing flue gas, which could leak into the living space.
Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen
compounds, which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and
iodide. These elements can corrode heat exchangers and
shorten furnace life. Air contaminants are found in aerosol
sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air
fresheners, and other household products. Do not install
furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmosphere. Make
sure all combustion and circulating air requirements are met,
in addition to all local codes and ordinances.
The following types of furnace installations may require OUT-
DOOR AIR for combustion due to chemical exposures:
• Commercial buildings
• Buildings with indoor pools
• Laundry rooms
• Hobby or craft rooms, and
• Chemical storage areas
If air is exposed to the following substances, it should not be used
for combustion air, and outdoor air may be required for combus-
tion:
• Permanent wave solutions
• Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
• Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals
• Water softening chemicals
• De-icing salts or chemicals
• Carbon tetrachloride
• Halogen type refrigerants
• Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
• Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
• Hydrochloric acid
• Cements and glues
• Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
Fig. 4—Multipoise Orientations
• Masonry acid washing materials
All fuel-burning equipment must be supplied with air for fuel
combustion. Sufficient air must be provided to avoid negative
pressure in the equipment room or space. A positive seal must be
made between the furnace cabinet and the return-air duct to
prevent pulling air from the burner area and from draft safeguard
opening.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury,
death, and/or property damage. or explosion.
When the furnace is installed in a residential garage, the
burners and ignition sources must be located at least 18 inches
above the floor. The furnace must be located or protected to
avoid damage by vehicles. When the furnace is installed in a
public garage, airplane hangar, or other building having a
hazardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed in
accordance with the NFGC or NSCNGPIC. (See Fig. 5.)
