manufacturer. If you have questions, contact the
manufacturer at the address or telephone number
listed in the warranty.

2. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off

3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done

by a qualified person(s) in accordance with all ap-
plicable codes and standards, including fire-rated

exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of
