Safety Information
 WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service 
or maintenance can cause property damage, personal 
injury or loss of life. Installation and service must  be 
performed by a licensed professional HVAC installer (or 
equivalent), service agency, or the gas supplier.
 CAUTION
As with any mechanical equipment, personal injury can 
result from contact with sharp sheet metal edges. Be 
careful when you handle this equipment.
 DANGER
Danger of explosion.
There are circumstances in which odorant used with LP/
propane gas can lose its scent. In case of a leak, LP/
propane  gas  will  settle  close  to  the  oor  and  may  be 
dicult to smell. An LP/propane leak detector should be 
installed in all LP applications.
Use only the type of gas approved for use with this fur-
nace. Refer to unit nameplate.
ML196UHE units are CSA International certied to ANSI 
Z21.47 and CSA 2.3 standards.
