All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
For proper and safe operation of this appliance, ensure that adequate clearances around air openings into the burner compartment and the condenser coil area are maintained. These openings are not to be blocked, or restricted, in any manner.
5.Measures should be taken to prevent the entry of corrosive chemicals or vapors to the combustion and ventilation air supply. Such chemicals include, but are not limited to, chlorinated and/or fluorinated hydrocarbons. These substances are found in refrigerants, aerosol propellants, dry cleaning fluids, degreasers, and removers. Other harmful compounds may come from acids, salts, bleaches, air fresheners, cements, and glues. Do not store or use these chemicals for long periods of time in close proximity to this appliance.
Vapors from such products can form corrosive compounds when burned in a flame. These compounds promote rapid corrosion of the burner, combustion chamber, heat exchanger, and the vent terminal. Rapid or excessive corrosion will significantly reduce the useful life of the appliance.
6.Refer to the following section, Venting of Combustion Products, for additional installation location restrictions.
C.Venting of Combustion Products
: This appliance is designed to directly vent combustion products into the atmosphere through, and using only, the supplied vent terminal. Do not attempt to attach a vent connector or a vent system to, or in place of, the supplied vent terminal.
The appliance should be installed in a location such that heavy snow accumulation will not excessively restrict the flow of flue (combustion) products from the unit. The vent terminal should not be located in a position where ice buildup could block the discharge of flue products. If these conditions occur, the performance of the heating system will be adversely affected.
Choose an installation location where the vent terminal does not discharge over sidewalks, walkways, and patios. These areas may become slippery when wetted by water vapor in the flue products.
Combustion products must not be allowed to accumulate within a confined space and recirculate back into the combustion system. Recirculation of combustion products promotes poor combustion. In severe cases, it may lead to sooting of the combustion chamber and heat exchanger, or to nuisance shutdowns of the heating system.
