Caution

Product Damage Hazard

Do not use heater in area containing corrosive
chemicals.
Refer to appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets
(MSDS).
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
product damage.

Big Ass Fans cannot be responsible for ensuring
that all appropriate safety measures are undertaken
prior to installation; this is entirely the responsibility
of the installer. It is essential that the contractor, the
sub-contractor, or the owner identifies the presence
of combustible materials, corrosive chemicals,
or halogenated hydrocarbons* anywhere in the
premises.

* Halogenated Hydrocarbons

are a family of

chemical compounds characterized by the presence
of halogen elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine,
etc.). These compounds are frequently used in
refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc. If these
compounds enter the air supply of the burner, the
lifespan of the heater components will be greatly
reduced. An outside air supply must be provided
to the burners whenever the presence of these
compounds is suspected. Warranty will be invalid if
the heater is exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons.

2.3 National Standards and Applicable
Codes

All appliances must be installed in accordance with
the latest revision of the applicable standards and
national codes. This refers also to the electric, gas,
and venting installation. Note: Additional standards
for installations in public garages, aircraft hangars,
etc. may be applicable.
