Ultra Low NOx Variable Speed Gas Furnace
(Type FSP CATEGORY IV Direct or Non Direct Vent Air Furnace)
(Type FSP CATÉGORIE IV Direct ou four á air soufflé non direct)
These furnaces comply with requirements embodied
in the American National Standard/National Standard
of Canada ANSI Z21.47•CSA-2.3 Gas Fired Central
Furnaces.
As a professional installer you have an obligation to know
the product better than the customer. This includes all
safety precautions and related items.
