SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alter-
ation, service, maintenance, or use can cause carbon mon-
oxide poisoning, explosion, fire, electric shock, or
other occurrences which may injure you or damage your
property. Consult a qualified installer, service agency,
or the gas supplier for information or assistance. The
qualified installer or agency must use only factory-
authorized kits or accessories when modifying this
product.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert sym-
bol. (
) When you see this symbol on the unit and in in-
structions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal
injury.
Understand the signal words - DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION. These words are used with the safety-alert
installation, start-up
and service instructions

symbol. Danger identifies the most serious hazards which will
result in severe personal injury or death. Warning indicates
a condition that could result in personal injury. Caution is
used to identify unsafe practices which would result in minor
personal injury or product and property damage.
WARNING: Disconnect gas piping from unit when leak
testing at pressure greater than 0.5 psig. Pressures
greater than 0.5 psig will cause gas valve damage re-
sulting in hazardous condition. If gas valve is subject
to pressure greater than 0.5 psig, it must be replaced
before use. When pressure testing field-supplied gas pip-
ing at pressures of 0.5 psig or less, a unit connected to
such piping must be isolated by manually closing the
gas valve.
WARNING: Before performing service or mainte-
nance operations on unit, turn off main power switch
to unit. Electrical shock could cause personal injury.
1. The power supply (volts, hertz, and phase) must corre-
spond to that specified on unit rating plate.
2. The electrical supply provided by the utility must be suf-
ficient to handle load imposed by this unit.
3. Refer to the Locate the Unit section on page 3 and
Fig. 2 for locations of gas and electrical inlets, conden-
sate drain, duct connections, and required clearances be-
fore setting unit in place.
4. Locate the unit where the vent cap will be a minimum
of 4 ft from openable windows or doors.
5. This installation must conform with local building codes,
the NFGC (National Fuel Gas Code), ANSI (American
National Standards Institute) Z223.1-1992, and NFPA
(National Fire Protection Association) 54 TIA-54-92-1.
In Canada, installation must conform with CAN/CGA
(Canadian Gas Association) B149.1,[2]-M86. Refer to Pro-
vincial and local plumbing or wastewater codes and other
applicable local codes.
6. Approved for outdoor installation on wood flooring or on
class A, B, or C roof-covering materials.
