WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Use this unit only in the manner intended by the manufacturer. If you have any questions, contact the
manufacturer. Before servicing or cleaning unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service
disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service discon-
necting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the
service panel. Installation Work And Electrical Wiring Must Be Done By Qualified Person(s) In
Accordance With All Applicable Codes And Standards, Including Fire-Rated Construction. Sufficient air
is needed for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning
equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment manufacturer's guideline and safety
standards such as those published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the
American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local
code authorities. When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not damage electrical wiring and
