SOME HELPFUL WARNINGS

SOME HELPFUL WARNINGS

Use low heat output when children are nearby.

Do not cover the floor register when the furnace or pilot is turned on.

Do not restrict the flow of air around the register by placing a screen under it.

Do not dry clothes or any objects by putting them on floor register because this creates a fire hazard.

Do not hang clothes or any object above or over floor register because this too creates a fire hazard.

During warm weather months, turn to full OFF position before you cover the register with a rug, because this too creates a fire hazard.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify operation after servicing.

CAUTION

Floor register is HOT when furnace is operating. Floor register can cause burns . Keep children OFF of the floor register. (Provide fence or register guard for their protection.)

Use the FULL HEAT output during cold weather and only when no children are around. In this position, your furnace will keep running until the living area is completely heated or unless something is covering the floor register. If the register is half covered, your furnace will turn off.

WARNING

A 6" clearance must be maintained between the flue or vent connector and beneath the entire bottom of the appliance. This appliance needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air.

Flue pipe that stops on the side of the building will not vent during certain wind and/or temperature conditions and will cause flue products to accumulate under the house and can be fatal to occupants.

UNIT MUST BE WIRED AS SHOWN

If any of the original wire as supplied with appliance has to be replaced, it should be replaced by No. 18 Gauge 150° C wire or its equivalent.

This unit has a limit control connected in series with the gas valve to shut the gas off in case of inadvertent covering of the register during a heating cycle and can be positioned to reduce register temperature.
