SAFETY CONSIDERATION

FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, AND

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal

injury or death.
This conversion kit shall be installed by a qualified service

agency in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions

and all applicable codes and requirements of the authority

having jurisdiction. If the information in these instructions

is not followed exactly, a fire, explosion, or production of

carbon monoxide could result causing property damage,

personal injury, or loss of life. The qualified service agency

is responsible for the proper installation of this furnace with

this kit. The installation is not proper and complete until the

operation of the converted appliance is checked as specified

in the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the kit.

AVERTISSEMENT

Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due
to gas and electrical components. Only trained and qualified

personnel should install, repair, or service heating equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions
such as cleaning and replacing air filters. Trained service

personnel must perform all other operations. When working on
heating equipment, observe precautions in the literature, on tags,

and on labels attached to or shipped with the unit, and other
safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes. In the United States, follow all safety

codes including the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code
(NFGC) NFPA No. 54/ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, refer to the

current edition of the National Standard of Canada, Natural Gas
and

Propane

Installation

Codes

(NSCNGPIC),

CAN/CSA--B149.1 and .2. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.

Have a fire extinguisher available during start--up, adjustment
steps, and service calls.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety--alert symbol

. When you see this symbol on the furnace and in instructions

or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.

Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION
and NOTE. The words DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION

are used with the safety alert symbol. DANGER identifies the

most serious hazards which

will

result in severe personal injury or

death. WARNING signifies a hazard which

could

result in

personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe
practices which

may

result in minor personal injury or product

and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions

which

will

result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.

INTRODUCTION

FIRE, EXPLOSION, ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow instructions could result in personal injury,

death or property damage.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service,

maintenance, or use can cause carbon monoxide poisoning,

explosion, fire, electrical shock, or other conditions, which

could result in personal injury or death. Consult your

distributor or branch for information or assistance. The

qualified

installer

or

agency

must

use

only
