Refer to the installation in- structions provided with the furnace and this manual. For assistance or additional information consult a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.

This information is intended for use by individuals pos- sessing adequate backgrounds of electrical and mechani- cal experience. Any attempt to repair a central air condi- tioning product may result in personal injury and/or prop- erty damage. American Standard Inc. or seller cannot be responsible for the interpretation of this information, nor can it assume any liability in connection with its use.

Safety signal words are used to designate a degree or level of seriousness associated with a particular hazard. The signal words for safety markings are DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION.

a.DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations.

b.WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situa- tion which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

c.CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situa- tion which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It is also used to alert against unsafe practices and hazards involving only prop- erty damage.

There must be a free flow of fresh air sufficient for efficient combustion and safe ventilation of your furnace. Do not allow the louvers on the front panels of your furnace to become blocked as this will restrict the flow of fresh air.

The combustion air for your furnace must be fresh uncon- taminated air. Paints, varnishes, laundry bleaches, deter- gents, many household cleaners, water softening salts, adhesives, and all such products release fumes containing compounds which could lead to early heat exchanger and vent system deterioration. Do not store these type of products near your furnace and consider fresh air for your furnace during construction or remodeling.

Never store gasoline, combustible materials, or other flammable liquids or vapors near your furnace.

If you have a problem, check the "Problem Solver" section of this manual before you call for a possibly unneeded service call.

Parts and controls of this furnace are unique. Should service or modification be required, be sure your servicer uses only factory authorized parts, kits, or accessories for this furnace.
