All of the ANSI and NFPA Standards referred to in these installation instructions are those that were applicable at the time the design of this appliance was certified.The ANSI Standards are available from CSA Information Services
If installed in Canada, the installation must conform with local building codes, or in the absence of local building codes, with
Do not alter the unit heater in any way or damage to the unit and/or severe personal injury or death may occur!
Disconnect all power and gas supplies before installing or servicing the heater. If the power disconnect is out of sight, lock it in the open position and tag it to prevent unexpected application of power. Failure to do so could result in fatal electric shock, or severe personal injury.
Ensure that all power sources conform to the requirements of the unit heater, or damage to the unit will result!
Follow installation instructions CAREFULLY to avoid creating unsafe conditions. All wiring should be done and checked by a qualified electrician, using copper wire only. All gas connections should be made and leak- tested by a suitably qualified individual, per instructions in this manual. Also follow procedures listed on "Gas Equipment
Use only the fuel for which the heater is designed (see rating plate). Using LP gas in a heater that requires natural gas, or vice versa, will create risk of gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, and explosion.
Do not attempt to convert the heater for use with a fuel other than the one intended. Such conversion is dangerous, as it will create the risks previously listed.
Make certain that the power source conforms to the electrical requirements of the heater.
Do not depend upon a thermostat or other switch as sole means of disconnecting power when installing or servicing heater. Always disconnect power at main circuit breaker as described above. Failure to do so could result in fatal electric shock.
Special attention must be given to any grounding information pertaining to this heater. To prevent the risk of electrocution, the heater must be securely and adequately grounded. This should be accomplished by connecting a ground conductor between the service panel and the heater. To ensure a proper ground, the grounding means must be tested by a qualified electrician.
Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into heater or its air moving device. Do not block or tamper with the heater in any manner while in operation, or just after it has been turned off, as some parts maybe hot enough to cause injury.
This heater is intended for general heating applications ONLY. It must NOT be used in potentially dangerous locations such as flammable, explosive,
Do not attach ductwork to this product or use it as a makeup air heater. Such usage voids the warranty and will create unsafe operation.
In cases in which property damage may result from malfunction of the heater, a
Should overheating occur, or the gas supply fail to shut off, shut off the manual gas valve to the appliance before shutting off the electrical supply.
The open end of piping systems being purged shall not discharge into areas where there are sources of ignition or into confined spaces UNLESS precautions are taken as follows: (1) by ventilation of the space, (2) control of the purging rate, (3) elimination of all hazardous conditions. All precautions must be taken to perform this operation in a safe manner!
Unless otherwise specified, the following conversions may be used for calculating SI unit measurements:
1 foot = 0.305 m | 1000 BTU/cu. ft. = 37.5 MJ/m3 |
1 inch = 25.4 mm | 1000 BTU per hour = 0.293 kW |
1 gallon = 3.785 L | 1 inch water column = 0.249 kPa |
1 pound = 0.453 kg | liter/second = CFM x 0.472 |
1 psig = 6.894 kPa | meters/second = FPM ÷ 196.8 |
