INSTALLATION

This unit meets the safe lighting performance criteria with the gas manifold and control assembly provided, as specified in the ANSI standards for gas-fired units, ANSI Z21.13/CSA 4.9 and ANSI Z21.10.3/CSA 4.3.

LOCATING UNIT

1.Maintain all clearances from combustible construction when locating unit. See Clearances from Combustible Construction, this page.

2.Locate the unit so that if water connections should leak, water damage will not occur. When such locations cannot be avoided, install a suitable drain pan that is well-drained under the unit. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow. The appliance manufacturer is not responsible for water damage in connection with this unit, or any of its components.

3.Install indoor units so that the ignition system components are protected from any water while operating or during service.

4.Appliances located in a residential garage and in adjacent spaces that open to the garage and are not part of the living space of a dwelling unit must be installed so that all burners and burner ignition devices have a minimum clearance of not less than 18" (46cm) above the floor. The appliance must be located or protected so that it is not subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle.

5.DO NOT install this appliance in any location where gasoline or flammable vapors are likely to be present.

6.You must install unit on a level, non-combustible floor.

7.Do not install unit directly on carpet or other combustible material. A concrete-over-wood floor is not considered non-combustible. Maintain required clearances from combustible surfaces.

If installing unit in an area with a combustible floor, you must use a special combustible floor base. See Base for Combustible Floors, this page.

8.For outdoor models, you must install an optional vent kit. Instructions for mounting the vent kit are included in the venting section. Do not install outdoor models directly on the ground. You must install the outdoor unit on a concrete, brick, block, or other non-combustible pad. Outdoor models have additional special location and clearance requirements. See Outdoor Installation Venting, page 14. A wind proof cabinet protects the unit from weather.
