WARNING
Duct leaks can create an unbalanced system and draw pollutants such as dirt, dust,
fumes and odors into the home causing property damage. Fumes and odors from toxic,
volatile or ammable chemicals, as well as automobile exhaust and carbon monoxide
(CO), can be drawn into the living space through leaking ducts and unbalanced duct
systems causing personal injury or death.
• If air-moving equipment or ductwork is located in garages or off-garage storage areas
- all joints, seams, and openings in the equipment and duct must be sealed to limit the
migration of toxic fumes and odors including carbon monoxide from migrating into the
living space.
• If air-moving equipment or ductwork is located in spaces containing fuel burning
appliances such as water heaters or boilers - all joints, seams, and openings in the
equipment and duct must also be sealed to prevent depressurization of the space and
possible migration of combustion byproducts including carbon monoxide into the living
space.
WARNING
• These instructions are intended as an aid to qualied, licensed service personnel
for proper installation, adjustment and operation of this unit. Read these instructions
thoroughly before attempting installation or operation. Failure to follow these instruc-
tions may result in improper installation, adjustment, service or maintenance possibly
resulting in re, electrical shock, property damage, personal injury or death.
WARNING
• Units with circuit breaker(s) meet requirements as a service disconnect switch, how-
ever, if access is required to the line side (covered) of the circuit breaker, this side of
the breaker(s) will be energized with the breaker(s) de-energized. Contact with the line
side can cause electrical shock resulting in personal injury or death.
WARNING
• Do not, under any circumstances, connect return ductwork to any other heat produc-
ing device such as replace insert, stove, etc. Unauthorized use of such devices
may result in re, carbon monoxide poisoning, explosion, personal injury or property
damage.
WARNING
• PROPOSITION 65: This appliance contains berglass insulation. Respirable particles
of berglass are known to the State of California to cause cancer.
• All manufacturer products meet current Federal OSHA Guidelines for safety. Califor-
nia Proposition 65 warnings are required for certain products, which are not covered
by the OSHA standards.
• California’s Proposition 65 requires warnings for products sold in California that
contain or produce any of over 600 listed chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer or birth defects such as berglass insulation, lead in brass, and combus-
tion products from natural gas.
• All “new equipment” shipped for sale in California will have labels stating that the
product contains and/or produces Proposition 65 chemicals. Although we have not
changed our processes, having the same label on all our products facilitates manufac-
turing and shipping. We cannot always know “when, or if” products will be sold in the
California market.
• You may receive inquiries from customers about chemicals found in, or produced by,
some of our heating and air-conditioning equipment, or found in natural gas used with
some of our products. Listed below are those chemicals and substances commonly
associated with similar equipment in our industry and other manufacturers.
-Glass Wool (Fiberglass) Insulation
-Carbon Monoxide (CO).
-Formaldehyde

• More details are available at the websites for OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health
Administration), at www.osha.gov and the State of California’s OEHHA (Ofce of
Environmental Health Hazard Assessment), at www.oehha.org. Consumer educa-
tion is important since the chemicals and substances on the list are found in our daily
lives. Most consumers are aware that products present safety and health risks, when
improperly used, handled and maintained.
WARNING
• Do not operate the system without lters. A portion of the dust entrained in the air may
temporarily lodge in the duct runs and at the supply registers. Any circulated dust par-
ticles could be heated and charred by contact with the heating elements. This residue
could soil ceilings, walls, drapes, carpets and other articles in the house.
• Soot damage may occur even with lters in place when certain types of candles,
oil lamps or standing pilots are burned.
