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 the literature, on tags,
and on labels attached to or shipped with the 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 CAN/CGA-B149.1- and .2-M95 National
Standard of Canada, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes
(NSCNGPIC).
Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Have 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 unit and in instructions or
manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, 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 up with changing residen-
tial construction practices. We require these instructions as a
minimum for a safe installation.
