FIRE, INJURY OR DEATH HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death
and/or property damage.
When the furnace is installed in a residential garage, the burners and
burner ignition devices must be located at least 18 in. (457 mm) above
the floor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid damage by
vehicles. When the furnace is installed in a public garage, airplane

CAUTION
!
FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit component damage.
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components. Take
precautions during furnace installation and servicing to protect the
furnace electronic control. Precautions will prevent electrostatic
discharges from personnel and hand tools which are held during the
procedure. These precautions will help to avoid exposing the control to
electrostatic discharge by putting the furnace, the control, and the
person at the same electrostatic potential.
