Codes
All local codes and regulations take precedence over the instructions in this
manual and shall be followed accordingly. In the absence of local codes, this
installation must conform to these instructions and to the regulations of the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) publications, the Standard for the
Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31-2020, and the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-2017 or the latest editions thereof,

WARNING:
These furnaces are designed for indoor installation ONLY.
These furnaces are NOT to be used as construction heaters.
DO NOT hang the horizontal / counterflow furnace from a
structure, or surface, by any integral part or fastener of the
furnace. The furnace was not designed to support itself in this
manner.
In as much as practical, the furnace should be positioned near a chimney or vent
and should be centralized with respect to the air distribution system.
For a utility room installation, the entrance door must be wide enough to permit
the largest part of the furnace to pass through the doorway or allow sufficient
clearance to permit the replacement of another appliance, e.g. a water heater, in
the room.
If the furnace is installed in a residential garage, it must be installed so the burner
is located higher than 18 inches above the floor, unless the required combustion
air is taken from the exterior of the garage. Also, the furnace must be located or
protected to avoid physical damage from impacts by vehicles.
It is recommended that a commercially available CO alarm be installed in
conjunction with any fossil fuel burning appliance. The CO alarm shall be
installed according to the alarm manufacturer’s installation instructions and be
listed in accordance with the latest edition of the UL Standard for Single and
Multiple Station Carbon Monoxide Alarms, UL 2034, or the CSA International
Standard, Residential Carbon Monoxide Alarming Devises, CSA 6.19.
The furnace shall not be operated in a condition where the return air is
consistently below 55°F.
