2.1) Safety Rules:
Your unit is built to provide many years of safe and dependable
service providing it is properly installed and maintained. However,
abuse and/or improper use can shorten the life of the unit and create
hazards for you, the owner.
a. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends
that users of oil-burning appliances install carbon monoxide
detectors. There can be various sources of carbon monoxide in
a building or dwelling. The sources could be gas-fired clothes
dryers, gas cooking stoves, water heaters, furnaces, gas-fired
fireplaces, wood fireplaces, and several other items. Carbon
monoxide can cause serious bodily injury and/or death.
Therefore, to help alert people of potentially dangerous carbon
monoxide levels, you should have carbon monoxide detectors
listed by a nationally recognised agency (e.g. Underwriters
Laboratories or Intemational Approval Services) installed and
maintained in the building or dwelling (see Note).
b. There can be numerous sources of fire or smoke in a building or
dwelling. Fire or smoke can cause serious bodily injury, death,
and/or property damage. Therefore, in order to alert people of
potentially dangerous fire or smoke, you should have fire and
smoke detectors listed by Underwriters Laboratories installed
and maintained in the building or dwelling (see Note below).
I NOTE: The manufacturer of your furnace does not test any detectors
and makes no representations regarding any brand or type of
detector.
I CAUTION
Insure that the area around the combustion air intake
terminal is free of snow, ice and debris.
I CAUTION
The air pressure switch MUST be used when the
furnace is vented by the side-wall.
CAUTION
Do not use any commercially available soot remover.
This furnace has fiber type refractory combustion
chamber. Normal servicing of this unit does not require
cleanings of the combustion chamber. Use extreme
care if for any reason you have to work in the area of
the combustion chamber,
2.2) Freezing Temperature and Your
Structure:
Your unit is equipped with safety devices that may keep it from
operating if sensors detect abnormal conditions such as clogged
exhaust flues.
Freeze warning.
Turn off water system.
If your unit remains shut off during cold weather the
water pipes could freeze and burst, resulting in
serious water damage.
If the structure will be unattended during cold weather you should take
these precautions.
a.
b.
Turn off main water supply into the structure and drain thewater
lines if possible. Open faucets in appropriate areas.
Have someone check the structure frequently during cold
weather to make sure it is warm enough to prevent pipes from
freezing. Suggest they call a qualified service agency, if
required.
2.3) Installation regulation:
All local and national code requirements governing the installation of
oil burning equipment, wiring and flue connections MUST be followed.
Some of the codes that may be applicable are:
CSA B139 INSTALLATION CODE FOR OIL
BURNING EQUIPMENT
NFPA31 INSTALLATION OF OIL BURNING
EQUIPMENT
ANSltNFPA 90B WARM AIR HEATING AND AIR
CONDITIONING SYSTEMS
ANSItNFPA 70 NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
CSA C22.2 No3 CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE
Only the latest issues of the above codes should be used.
3) LOCATING THE FURNACE
CAUTION
Check carefully your furnace upon delivery for any
evidence of damage that may have occurred during
shipping and handling. Any claims for damages or lost
parts must be made with the Transport Company,
3.1) Location:
Locate the furnace as closely as possible to the chimney or vent
terminal, providing ample clearance to permit easy accessibility for
cleaning the inside of the furnace, the removal of filters, blower,
motors, controls and flue connections.
The OCF is certified for reduced clearances to combustibles, which
means it can be installed in an alcove, closet or crawl space by
obeying the clearances specified on the rating plate.
In the downflow position, the OCF is certified for use on combustible
floors only when the accessory No CFB-1 "Combustible Floor Base" is
used in the installation.
