QUALIFICATIONS - QUALIFIED SERVICE AGENT

Servicing the products referenced in this manual requires ability equivalent to that of a Qualified Agency (as defined by ANSI below) in the field involved. Installation skills such as plumbing, electrical supply are required in addition to diagnostic and electrical testing skills when performing service.

ANSI Z223.1 2006 Sec. 3.3.83: “Qualified Agency” - “Any individual, firm, corporation or company that either in person or through a representative is engaged in and is responsible for (a) the installation, testing or replacement of gas piping or (b) the connection, installation, testing, repair or servicing of appliances and equipment; that is experienced in such work; that is familiar with all precautions required; and that has complied with all the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.”

SERVICE WARNING

If you are not qualified (as defined by ANSI above) and licensed or certified as required by the authority having jurisdiction to perform a given task do not attempt to perform any of the service, diagnostic or troubleshooting procedures described in this manual. If you do not understand the instructions given in this manual or do not feel confident in your abilities to perform a given task do not attempt to perform any procedures outlined in this manual. Call the toll free phone number listed on the back cover of this manual for technical assistance.

IMPORTANT SERVICE REMINDER

When performing any troubleshooting step outlined in this manual always consider the wiring and connectors between components. Perform a close visual inspection of all wiring and connectors to and from a given component before replacement. Ensure wires were stripped before being crimped in a wire connector. Ensure wires are crimped tightly in their connectors. Ensure connection pins in sockets and plugs are not damaged or worn. Also ensure plugs and sockets are mating properly and providing good contact.

Failure to perform this critical step or failing to perform this step thoroughly often results in needless down time, unnecessary parts replacement, and customer dissatisfaction.

Servicing should only be performed by a Qualified Service Agent
