SAFETY

INFORMATION

WARNINGS

IMPORTANT: Read this owner’s manual carefully and completely before trying to assemble, operate, or service this furnace. Improper use of this furnace can cause seri- ous injury or death from burns, fire, explosion, electrical shock, and carbon monoxide poisoning.

DANGER: Carbon monoxide poisoning may lead to death!

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, and/or nau- sea. If you have these signs, the furnace may not be working properly. Get fresh air at once! Have furnace serviced. Some people are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These include pregnant women, people with heart or lung disease or anemia, those under the influence of alcohol, and those at high altitudes.

Propane/LP Gas: Propane/LP gas is odor- less. An odor-making agent is added to pro- pane/LP gas. The odor helps you detect a propane/LP gas leak. However, the odor added to propane/LP gas can fade. Propane/LP gas may be present even though no odor exists.

Make certain you read and understand all warnings. Keep this manual for reference. It is your guide to safe and proper operation of this furnace.

WARNING: Any change to this heater or its controls can be dangerous.

Due to high temperatures, the appliance should be located out of traffic and away from furniture and draperies.

Do not place clothing or other flammable material on or near the appliance. Never place any objects on the furnace.

Carefully supervise young chil- dren when they are in the same room with furnace.

Surface of furnace becomes very hot when running furnace. Keep children and adults away from hot surface to avoid burns or clothing ignition. Furnace will remain hot for a time after shutdown. Allow surface to cool before touching.

Turn off furnace and unplug and let cool before servicing. Unless you need gas supply for testing, shut off equipment shutoff valve before servicing. Only a qualified service person should service and repair furnace and venting system.

Replace any safety screen or guard removed for servicing be- fore operating furnace.

You must keep control compart- ments, burners, and circulating air passages clean. More frequent cleaning may be needed due to excessive lint and dust from car- peting, bedding material, etc. Turn off the gas valve and unplug before cleaning furnace.
