Heating unit should not be utilized without reasonable
routine, inspection, maintenance, and supervision. If the
building in which any suck device is located will be vacant,
care should be taken that such device is routinely inspected,
maintained and monitored. In the event that the building
maybe exposed to freezing temperatures and will be vacant,
all water-bearing pipes should be drained, the building
should be properly winterized, and the water source closed.
In the event that the building may be exposed to freezing
temperatures and will be vacant, an hydronic coil units
should be drained as well and, in such case, alternative heat
sources should be utilized.

death due to electrical shock, the furnace must be located
to protect the electrical components from water.
Drain trap must be primed at time of installation. Trap is
internally partitioned; add water to both inlet ports until
water appears at both sides of the outlet opening. Failure
to prime trap at time of installation may have a negative
effect on combustion quality and pressure switch action.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
NOTE: Discharge your body's static electricity
before touching unit. An electrostatic discharge
can adversely affect electrical components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation
and servicing to protect the integrated control module
from damage. By putting the furnace, the control, and the
person at the same electrostatic potential, these steps
will help avoid exposing the integrated control module to
electrostatic discharge. This procedure is applicable to both
installed and non-installed (ungrounded) furnaces.
