SECTION 1.  IMPORTANT SAFETY 
RULES 

To alert you to potential hazards, we use the signal words 
"WARNING" and "CAUTION" throughout this manual.  
"WARNING" alerts you to situations that could cause or 
result in serious injury or death.  "CAUTION" alerts you to 
situations that could cause or result in minor or moderate 
injury or property damage.  For a safe and reliable 
installation be sure to read and follow all warnings and 
cautions. 

We also use the words "must" and "should" in this manual.  
"Must" is mandatory.  "Should" is advisory. 

 

 

WARNING:

  Read and follow the safety rules in 

this section and throughout this manual.  Failure to do so 
could cause improper fu rnace operation, resulting in 
damage, injury or death. 

Rule 1.  

Use only gas approved for use in this fu rnace, as 

indicated on fu rnace rating plate.  Use only natural gas in 
furnaces designed for natural gas.  Use only propane (LP) 
gas in fu rnaces designed for propane (LP) gas.  Make sure 
furnace will operate properly on the gas type available to 
user.  Do not use butane gas in this fu rnace. 

 

 

WARNING:

 Use of a non-approved gas (such as 

butane) in this fu rnace could cause sooting or overheating 
of heat exchanger. 

Rule 2.  

Do not install this furnace outdoors or in a mobile 

home, trailer or recreational vehicle.  It is not design 
certified for these installations.  This fu rnace is suitable for 
a home built on site or a manufactured home completed at 
the final site. 

Rule 3.  

Air for combustion must not come from a corrosive 

or contaminated atmosphere.  Make sure all combustion 
and ventilation air requirements are adhered to in addition 
to local codes and ordinances. 

Rule 4.  

This furnace is not to be used for temporary 

heating of buildings or structures under cons truction. 

Rule 5.  

Provide adequate combustion and ventilation air to 

space where fu rnace is being installed unless combustion 
air is provided directly through an inlet air pipe.  Connect 
this furnace to an approved vent system--venting 
combustion products outdoors . 

Rule 6.  

Check for gas leaks anytime work is done on gas 

supply line, furnace gas control, pilot and pilot line or main 
burner manifold.
