COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR SUPPLY

CAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the heater and void the warranty.

IMPORTANT: Adequate air must be provided for proper combustion and ventilation of the surrounding area. An inadequate supply of combustion air will result in incomplete combustion and eventual sooting of the heater. Insufficient ventilation will cause excessive heat and rapid deterioration of electronic and electrical components. Equipment rooms should be provided with TWO permanent air supply openings directly connected to outside air. Each opening must have a minimum FREE area of one square inch per 4000 BTU per hour input of the total input rating of all equipment in the room. Local codes or authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted for the following table.
