All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
This page contains various warnings and cautions reproduced from the Power Gas Furnace Manual. Please read and comply with the statements below.
CAUTION: When installing the burner, it should be noted that the loose fill insulation and fiber chambers are made with ceramic fibers. Currently, there are no known chronic health effects in humans associated with long term exposure to ceramic fibers. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) based on its review of studies that injected ceramic fiber into the abdomens of hamsters and rats have classified fibrous glass wool, mineral wool (both rock wool and slag wool) and ceramic fiber as group 2B carcinogens. A group 2B agent is considered by IARC to have the possibility of being carcinogenic to humans. IARC has also classified these fibrous materials as group 2A carcinogens when they have undergone long term exposure to temperatures greater than 18000F. A group 2A agent is considered to have the probability of being carcinogenic to humans. For these reasons, we suggest the use of a 3M 9900, 3M 8710 or equivalent mask when working with any ceramic fiber products. For further information, contact the Manager of Customer Service for Rex Roto Corporation at (517) 324-7533.
WARNING: This furnace is not to be used as a construction heater.
WARNING: When common venting two appliances into a common vent, the smallest appliances must be vented into the top opening.
WARNING: A Category 1 appliance must never be connected to a chimney that is servicing a solid fuel appliance. If a fireplace chimney, lined with a metal liner is used to vent this appliance, the fireplace opening must be permanently sealed.
WARNING: The PG Series furnaces must not be installed with a manual or thermally actuated vent damper.
WARNING: TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER to the furnace before attempting to change blower speed wiring.
WARNING: For initial
WARNING: Heat exchanger paint will cure on initial firing creating an odor.
WARNING: The heat exchanger must be cleaned by a qualified service technician.
WARNING: The power gas burner has its own transformer and no other electrical equipment should be operated from this transformer. If an electrical vent damper is used, a separate transformer and relay must be installed. Thermally actuated vent dampers cannot be used with this power burner because the damper must be in the open position before the burner ignites.
WARNING: 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.
