WARNING
All information in this manual is for
reference and guidance purposes,
and does not substitute for required
professional training, conduct,
and strict adherence to applicable
jurisdictional/professional codes and
regulations.
A qualifi ed installer, service agency
or the gas supplier must perform
installation and service on the fuel
delivery system.
Do not use matches, candles, fl ame or
other sources of ignition to check for
gas leaks.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
Do not try to light the appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switch.
Do not use any phone in the building.
Leave building and contact gas
supplier from neighbor’s phone. If you
cannot reach gas supplier, phone the
fi re department.
When making gas piping joints,
maintain proper ventilation to reduce
breathing hazards.
An exhaust fan may draw products of
combustion into the work environment
creating a possible hazard to personnel.

CAUTION
It is essential that only fresh air be
allowed to enter the combustion air
system. Foreign substances, such
as combustible volatiles and lint in
the combustion system can create
hazardous conditions. If foreign
substances can enter the air stream, the
combustion air inlet must be piped to
an outside location. Failure to do so will
void the warranty.
To avoid failures due to poor
combustion, ensure make-up air system
is properly designed.
3. Ensure the equipment room air supply openings are kept clear at all times.
4. See Table 5 for minimum make-up air required and the recommended area
of each opening for each model.

5. If positive forced ventilation is adopted, ensure that there will be no
appreciable pressure variation in the equipment room.
6. Avoid ventilation which creates a negative pressure in the building as it
will seriously aff ect combustion and proper operation of the stack. Please
note that exhaust fans or similar equipment can create a down draft in the
chimney or starve the burner’s air supply. Either case may result in poor
