Safety  Considerations

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 This unit is designed to meet the NOX 

requirement of 14Ng/J maximum as required by the South 

Coast Air Quality Management District and the San Joaquin 

Valley Air Pollution Control District, both in the State of Cal-

ifornia,and is intended for installation in those districts only.

This unit has a Control System that compensates for certain 

installation and environmental conditions.  This unit must:

• 

Be properly installed, operated, and maintained per 

the instructions.

• 

Be  serviced  only  by  properly  trained  service 

technicians.

This unit is not approved for use with gasses other than 

Natural Gas.
Units that are not installed, maintained, or operated properly 

may result in “noisy” operation during the heating cycle.  If 

this unit is making unusual or objectionable noises during 

the heating cycle, turn the heat off at the thermostat and 

contact a qualified service organization right away.
