SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due to
gas and electrical components. Only trained and qualified person-
nel should install, repair, or service heating equipment.

Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions
such as cleaning and replacing air filters. All other operations must
be performed by trained service personnel. When working on
heating equipment, observe precautions in literature, on tags, and
on labels attached to or shipped with unit and other safety
precautions that may apply.

In the United States, follow all safety codes including the National
Fuel Gas Code (NFGC) NFPA 54-1999/ANSI Z223.1-1999 and
the Installation Standards, Warm Air Heating and Air Condition-
ing Systems (NFPA 90B) ANSI/NFPA 90B.

In Canada, refer to the current edition of the CAN/CGA-B149.1-
and .2-M99 National Standard of Canada, Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Codes (NSCNGPIC).

Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Have a fire extinguisher
available during start-up and adjustment procedures 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 these signal words; DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION and NOTE. These words 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 would 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
These instructions cover minimum requirements and conform to
existing national standards and safety codes. In some instances,
these instructions exceed certain local codes and ordinances,
especially those that may not have kept pace with changing
residential construction practices. We require these instructions as
a minimum for a safe installation.
