WARNING
IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT,
ALTERATION, SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE
CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PER-
SONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
FOR ASSISTANCE OR ADDITIONAL INFOR-
MATION, CONSULT A QUALIFIED INSTALL-
ER, SERVICE AGENCY, OR YOUR GAS SUP-
PLIER.
WARNING
DEVICES ATTACHED TO EITHER THE VENT
OR COMBUSTION AIR INTAKE FOR THE PUR-
POSES OF EXCEEDING THE LIMITATIONS
DESCRIBED IN THE INSTALLATION MANU-
AL, INCLUDING FIELD INSTALLED INDUCED
BLOWER FANS HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED
AND ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN
CERTIFICATION OF THE FURNACE.
THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT AND WILL
NOT SPECULATE ON THE EFFECTS OF
SUCH MODIFICATIONS AND CANNOT AND
WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INJURY
OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE USE OF SUCH
UNTESTED AND/OR UNCERTIFIED DEVIC-
ES, ACCESSORIES OR COMPONENTS.
Most natural gas systems and all LP gas systems
have a service regulator located near the point
where the gas piping enters the building.
The propane tank will normally have an additional
fi rst stage regulator located at the tank outlet valve.
All of these regulators (located outdoors) will have
a vent.
(Figure 2)
It is important for these vents to remain clear. Do
not allow moisture, which could freeze, to build up
in the vent. If you see moisture building up in the
regulator vent, contact your gas supplier.
WARNING
OBSTRUCTION OF THE AIR VENT ON AN LP
(PROPANE) CYLINDER OR TANK REGULA-
TOR CAN CAUSE EXPLOSION OR FIRE RE-
SULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
YOUR GAS SUPPLIER SHOULD PERIODI-
CALLY INSPECT AND CLEAN THE AIR VENT
SCREEN TO PREVENT ANY OBSTRUCTION.
KEEP PROTECTIVE REGULATOR COVER IN
PLACE, AS EXPOSURE TO THE ELEMENTS
CAN CAUSE ICE BUILDUP AND REGULA-
TOR FAILURE.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
1. Combustible materials should not be stored
against or around the furnace. Keep the furnace
area clear and free from all combustible materials
such as newspapers, rags, cardboard, foam, plas-
tic, paper backed fi berglass insulation, clothing,
etc. This applies especially to gasoline and other
fl ammable vapors and liquids.
2. A furnace needs adequate amounts of combus-
tion and ventilation air to operate properly. Do not
block or obstruct air openings on the furnace, or
air openings supplying combustion or ventilation air
to the area where the furnace is installed. There
are many areas from which your furnace could be
receiving combustion and ventilation air including
from within the heated area (inside air), from out-
doors, from an attic or crawl space. If renovations
are done, be sure that air supply openings are not
inadvertently covered over with insulation, vapor
barrier, or similar construction material.
3. All doors and panels must be in place during nor-
mal furnace operation. Attempting to operate the
furnace with missing doors or panels could lead to
the creation of carbon monoxide gas.
4. If the furnace is installed in a confi ned space or if
you intend to build a furnace room where insulation
is present, be aware that some insulating materials
are combustible. Do not allow building insulating
