III. GENERAL INSTALLATION
: This unit is not to be used for temporary heating of buildings, or
structures, under construction. Construction dust may enter the appliance or the duct
system and cause a fire hazard. Certain chemicals used during construction when
burned, form corrosive condensate that can substantially reduce the life of the heating
system heat exchanger.
With exception of the vent terminal, this appliance is shipped completely assembled and
internally wired. All fuel oil and refrigerant piping, refrigerant charge, and electrical wiring
have been factory installed and inspected. At the time of installation, the unit will require
connection to electric power, fuel oil supply, condensate drain, and supply and return air
ductwork. In addition, the vent termination kit will need assembly. In the event of a
shortage of parts or damage, refer to the Dealer Receiving and Freight Claim
Procedure section of the Price Guide.
This unit uses a fan-assisted combustion system, consisting of a pressure atomizing, oil
burner and combustion air blower, used to push the products of combustion through the
heat exchanger system. After installation, the furnace and duct system must be
adjusted to obtain a temperature rise of 50°F to 80°F through the unit. (Refer to the
rating label located on side panel inside the burner compartment). The installation must
conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the Standard for the
Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31-1997, or the latest edition, and to these
instructions.
