CHAPTER 1
CHAPTER 1 - PRE-INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
1.6. Combustion Air Contamination
If the INSTINCT combustion air inlet is located
in an area likely to cause or contain contamina-
tion, or if products which could contaminate
the air cannot be removed, the combustion
air must be repiped and terminated at anoth-
er location. Contaminated combustion air will
damage the unit and its burner system, and
can result in substantial property damage, se-
rious injury, or death.
Do not operate the INSTINCT if the com-
bustion air inlet is located near a laundry
room or pool facility. These areas will al-
ways contain hazardous contaminants.
Pool, laundry, common household, and
hobby products often contain fluorine or
chlorine compounds. When these chem-
icals pass through the burner and vent
system, they can form strong acids. These
acids will corrode the heat exchanger,
burner components, and vent system,
causing serious damage and possible
flue gas spillage or water leakage into
the surrounding area.
Please read the information listed on the
right. If contaminating chemicals are locat-
ed near the area of the combustion air in-
let, the installer must pipe the combustion
air inlet to an area free of these chemicals.
Failure to comply with these instructions
will result in substantial property dam-
age, serious injury, or death

stallation Code CAN/CSA B149.1.
