To avoid possible equipment damage, personal injury, fire or death, the following instructions must be observed
regarding unit location, air requirements and operating procedures.
Unit Location
1. The furnace area and the vicinity of any other gas ap-
pliances must be kept clear and free of combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids. Also, do not store or use flammable items
such as paint, varnish, or lacquer in the area.

4. Make sure the furnace is always connected to an ap-
proved vent, in good condition, to carry combustion
products outdoors.
