Check certifications/approvals

• Underwriters Laboratories has certified this burner to comply with ANSI/UL
296 and has listed it for use with #1 or #2 fuel oil as specified in ASTM
D396. Low sulfur #1 and #2 fuel oils reduce heat exchanger deposits
with all burners compared to the standard fuels. Reduced deposits ex-
tend the service interval for cleaning and improve the efficiency of the
appliance over time. Low sulfur fuels reduce particulate and oxides of
nitrogen emissions as well. The Oilheat Manufacturers' Association rec-
ommends these fuels as the preferred fuels for this burner.
• State and local approvals are shown on burner rating label (see below).
• All oil burners should be installed in accordance with regulations of the
latest revision of the National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 31
and in complete accordance with all local codes and authorities having juris-
diction. Regulation of these authorities take precedence over the general
instructions provided in this installation manual.
• For recommended installation practice in Canada, reference to CSA Standard
B139-M91.
