INSTALLATION SAFETY RULES

Your unit is built to provide many years of safe and
dependable service, provided 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.
2.2.1

Detector

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 to
potentially dangerous carbon monoxide levels, you
should have carbon monoxide detectors listed by a
nationally recognised
Laboratories or International
installed and maintained in the building or dwelling (see
Note below).
agency (ex. Underwriters
Approval Services)
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 to 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).
NOTE: The manufacturer of your furnace does not test any
detectors and makes no representations regarding any
brand or type of detector.
Ensure that the area around the combustion air intake is
free of snow, ice and debris.
An air pressure switch MUST be used when the furnace
is side-wall vented.
Do not use any commercially available soot remover.
This furnace has a ceramic fibre type of combustion
chamber. Normal servicing of this unit does not require
the cleaning of same. Use extreme caution if for any
reason you have to work in the area of the combustion
chamber.
2.2.2

Freezing temperatures and your building

FREEZING TEMPERATURE WARNING
Turn off water supply.
If your heater remains shut off during cold weather, the
water pipes could freeze and burst, resulting in serious
water damage.
Your unit is equipped with safety devices that may keep it
from operating if sensors detect abnormal conditions such
as exhaust flues obstructed by snow, ice or debris.
If the structure is unattended during cold weather you should
take the following precautions:
a. Turn off main water supply into the structure and drain
the water lines if possible. Open faucets in appropriate
areas;
b. Have someone check the structure frequently during
cold weather to make sure it is warm enough to prevent
pipes from freezing. Contact a qualified service agency,
if required.
