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.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission encourages
installation of carbon monoxide alarms. 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.
Carbon monoxide can cause bodily injury and/or death. Carbon
monoxide or “CO” is a colorless and odorless gas produced when
fuel is not burned completely or when the flame does not receive
sufficient oxygen.
Therefore, to help alert people of potentially dangerous carbon
monoxide levels, you should have a commercially available
carbon monoxide alarm that is listed by a nationally recognized
testing agency in accordance with Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
Standard for Single and Multiple Station Carbon Monoxide
Alarms, ANSI/UL 2034 or the CSA 6.19--01 Residential Carbon
Alarming Devices installed and maintained in the building or
dwelling concurrently with the gas--fired furnace installation (see
Note below). The alarm should be installed as recommended by
the alarm manufacturer’s installation instructions.
There can be numerous sources of fire or smoke in a building or
dwelling. Fire or smoke can cause bodily injury, death, and/or
property damage. Therefore, in order to alert people of potentially
dangerous fire or smoke, you should have fire extinguisher and
smoke alarms listed by Underwriters Laboratories installed and
maintained in the building or dwelling (see Note below).
NOTE: The manufacturer of your furnace does not test any
alarms and makes no representations regarding any brand or type
of alarms.
To ensure safe and efficient operation of your unit, you should do
the following:
1. Thoroughly read this manual and labels on the unit.
This will help you understand how your unit operates and
the hazards involved with gas and electricity.
2. Do not use this unit if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect
the unit and to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.
3. Never obstruct the vent grilles, or any ducts that
provide air to the unit. Air must be provided for proper
combustion and ventilation of flue gases.
