PROPOSITION
This product contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
WARNING: This unit contains refractory ceramic
A
fiber (RCF) insulation in the combustion chamber. RCF,
as manufactured, does not contain respirable crystalline
silica. However, following sustained exposure to
very high temperatures (>2192°F [1200°C]), the RCF
can transform into crystalline silica (cristabolite).
The International Agency for Research on Cancer
(IARC) has classified the inhalation of crystalline
silica
(cristabolite)
as
When removing the burner or heat exchanger, take
precautions to avoid creating airborne dust and avoid
inhaling airborne fibers. When cleaning spills, use wet
sweeping or High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA)
filtered vacuum to minimize airborne dust. Use feasible
engineering controls such as local exhaust ventilation or
dust collecting systems to minimize airborne dust. Wear
appropriate personal protective equipment including
gloves, safety glasses with side shields, and appropriate
NIOSH certified respiratory protection, to avoid inhalation
of airborne dust and airborne fiber particles.
WARNING:
A
Improper
alteration, service or maintenance may damage the
equipment, creating a hazard resulting in asphyxiation,
explosion or fire. Such damage is not covered under
warranty.
NOTE: The heater should not be located in an area
where possible water leakage will result in damage to the
area adjacent to the heater or to the structure. When such
locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a
suitable drain pan, with adequate drainage, be installed
under the heater. The pan must not restrict combustion
air flow.

Minimum Clearances from Combustible Surfaces
When installed according to the listed minimum clearances
from combustible construction, the pool heater can still be
serviced without removing permanent construction around
the heater.
However, for ease of servicing, Raypak recommends a
clearance of at least 24" (609.6 mm) in the front and back.
This will enable the heater to be serviced in its installed
location, without movement or removal of the heater.
NOTE: The heater must be installed in a manner that
will enable the heater to be serviced without removing
any structure around the heater.
FLOORING: This heater can be installed on combustible
flooring.
The controls are on the angled face, which must be
accessible. Installing the unit in such a way that the controls
are not accessible is not recommended and not supported.
