All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.

: If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing personal injury, loss of life or property damage.

: NEVER use gasoline or a mixture of oil and gasoline to start the burner or furnace.

: HAZARD OF ASPHYXIATION: Negative pressure inside the closet with closet door closed and the furnace blower operating shall be no more negative than minus 0.05 inch water column.

: Do not obstruct any return air openings, including the return grille on the furnace. To do so may cause the furnace to activate the high limit and shut down or it may cause asphyxiation.

: Because of the potential of odorant fade, a gas leak may not be detected by smell. If this furnace is installed below grade, contact your gas supplier for a gas detector.

: All gas pipe connections must be leak tested using a strong soap and water solution (with the gas turned on). Any leaks must be repaired immediately after turning off the gas supply. A final test for gas leakage must be made after purging the gas line.

: DO NOT wet electronic components during the leak test. Wetting electronic components may damage circuitry and cause a hazardous situation. Dry moisture from all leads and terminals if wetting occurs. Wait at least 24 hours for the circuit to fully dry before energizing the system.

: The furnace and its gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply during pressure testing of the gas supply system at pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG or 13.9 inches W.G. The furnace can be isolated from the gas supply by closing its manual shut off valve at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG or 13.9 inches W.G.

: Copper and brass tubing and fittings (except tin lined) shall not be used if the gas contains more than a trace (0.3 grains per 100 cubic ft.) of hydrogen sulfide gas. Check with your gas supplier.

: All local codes and ordinances take precedence with regard to tank and oil lines. All lines must have shutoff valves, a good pipe joint compound approved for use with oil on all pipe threads, no kinks, no sharp bends and be properly tested for leaks. Flare fittings are recommended for tubing.

: Do not use motor oil or any fuel other than No. 1 or No. 2 fuel oil in this furnace.

This means that a significant portion of the fuel consumed is converted into usable heat, making it an economically sensible option for heating your home. Additionally, it features a multi-speed blower motor, which allows for better air circulation and consistent heating throughout the living space. This model also includes a durable heat exchanger crafted from high-quality materials, ensuring longevity and reliability in performance.

On the other hand, the OMC-70 furnace offers a slightly lower AFUE rating of 70%, but it shines in certain areas such as cost-effectiveness and straightforward installation. Its reputation for reliability is bolstered by its rugged design and construction that can withstand the rigors of various climates. The OMC-70 also includes a standard efficiency motor, contributing to reduced energy consumption while delivering appropriate heating requirements for smaller spaces.

Both models utilize advanced technology aimed at improving user convenience and efficiency. Features such as electronic ignition systems enhance reliability by eliminating the need for a pilot light, while also providing a quick and efficient startup process. Furthermore, each unit can be easily integrated with smart thermostats, allowing homeowners to manage their heating needs remotely for optimized performance.
