of California to cause cancer.) Fiberglass wool may also
cause respiratory, skin and eye irritation. To reduce
exposure or for further information, consult material safety
data sheets available from address shown below.
WARNING
This product contains or produces a chemical or
chemicals which may cause serious illness or death and
which are known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
WARNING
To avoid possible equipment damage, personal injury, fire
or death, the following instructions must be observed
regarding unit location, air requirements and operating
procedures.
WARNING
Heating unit should not be utilized without reasonable,
routine inspection, maintenance and supervision. If the
building in which any such device is located will be
vacant, care should be taken that such device is
routinely inspected, maintained and monitored. In the
event that the building may be exposed to freezing
temperatures and will be vacant, all water-bearing pipes
should be drained, the building should be properly
winterized and the water source closed. In the event
that the building may be exposed to freezing
temperatures and will be vacant, any hydronic coil units
should be drained as well, and, in such case, alternative
heat sources should be utilized.

UNIT LOCATION
This unit is approved only for an outdoor installation. See the
installation instructions for the required clearances to the unit. It
is important that safety measures are taken in the surrounding
area of the unit.
■ Gutters or deflectors must be installed on the roof to prevent
water from shedding on the unit.
■ An area must be available to reach the unit in a clear and
unobstructed path.
■ The unit area and the vicinity of any other gas appliances
must be kept clear and free of combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
■ Do not store or use flammable items such as paint, varnish,
or lacquer in the area.
■ The combustion air supply must not be contaminated by
products containing chlorine or fluorine, as they could
corrode the heat exchanger. If you need further information
on this subject, contact your installing dealer or another
qualified servicer.
■ Familiarize yourself with the controls that turn off the gas and
electrical power to the unit.
■ Establish a regular service and maintenance schedule to
ensure efficient and safe operation of the unit.
■ The unit must be placed where no runoff water from higher
ground can collect in the unit.

UNIT INSTALLATION
Examine the unit installation to determine the following:
■ The flue hood connector is in place and is physically sound
without holes or excessive corrosion.
■ The mounting pad support of the unit is sound.
■ There are no obvious signs of deterioration of the unit.
■ The burner flames are stable, soft and blue, (dust may cause
orange tips but must not be yellow). The flames should
extend directly outward from the burner without curling,
floating, or lifting off. To examine, turn on the electrical power
and gas. Set the room temperature to the maximum setting.
DANGER
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Special Warning for Installation of Furnace or Air Handling
Units in Enclosed Areas such as Garages, Utility Rooms or
Parking Areas.
Burner
Check the burner flames for good adjustment, a stable, soft and
blue flame that is not curling, floating or lifting off.
NOTE: If a strong wind is blowing, it may not be possible to
perform the flame inspection.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or fire, minimum clearances to
combustible surfaces must be followed.
AIR REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
To avoid property damage, personal injury or death,
sufficient fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation
of flue gases must be supplied.
Since the gas/electric unit is installed completely in the outdoors,
the depletion of combustion air is highly improbable. To ensure
an adequate supply of combustion air, do not allow the
combustion air inlet or the flue hood outlet to become blocked by
leaves, snow, rubbish, or insect (wasps) nests. Never block the
condensing unit section in the winter with covers. Blocking of this
section would prevent an adequate amount of combustion air
from reaching the furnace section.
Great care has been taken in the design and manufacture of your
unit to provide for your comfort and safety. Be aware of the
possibility that some problems with your unit or other gas-fired
appliances could cause flue gases to be present in your building.
These flue gases could include carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide producing devices (such as an
automobile, space heater, gas water heater, etc.) should
not be operated in enclosed areas such as unventilated
garages, utility rooms or parking areas because of the
danger of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning resulting from
the exhaust emissions. If a furnace or air handler is
installed in an enclosed area such as a garage, utility room
or parking area and a carbon monoxide producing device is
operated therein, there must be adequate, direct outside
ventilation.
This ventilation is necessary to avoid the danger of CO
poisoning which can occur if a carbon monoxide producing
device continues to operate in the enclosed area. Carbon
monoxide emissions can be (re)circulated throughout the
structure if the furnace or air handler is operating in any
mode.
CO can cause serious illness including permanent brain
damage or death.
WARNING
Personal injury or death from
exposure to carbon monoxide. Carbon
colorless and odorless gas produced when fuel is not
burned completely or when the flame does not receive
sufficient oxygen. Be aware of
which indicate conditions that may result in carbon
monoxide or that carbon monoxide may be present:
-Headaches, nausea, dizziness, flu-like symptoms
-Excessive humidity, heavily-frosted windows, a moist,
clammy feeling in the home
-Fireplace smoke will not draw up the chimney
-Flue gases will not draw up the appliance vent pipe
asphyxiation can result from
monoxide or CO is
these air starvation signals
WARNING
To prevent property damage or serious personal injury
due to fire or explosion caused by a propane gas leak,
install a gas detecting warning device.
If the propane gas unit is installed in an excavated area
or a confined space, a warning device is required due to:
-Propane gas is heavier than air and any leaking gas
can settle in any low areas or confined spaces.
-Propane gas odorant may fade, making the gas
undetectable except with a warning device.
