It is recommended that carbon monoxide detectors be
installed wherever oil or gas fired heaters are used.
Carbon monoxide can cause bodily harm or death. For
this reason, agency approved carbon monoxide
detectors should be installed in your residence and
properly maintained to warn of dangerously high carbon
monoxide levels.
There are several sources of possible smoke and
flames in a residence. Smoke and flames can cause
bodily harm or death. For this reason, agency approved
smoke detectors should be installed in your residence
and properly maintained, to warn early on, of a
potentially dangerous fire. Also, the house should be
equipped with approved and properly maintained fire
extinguishers.
Your unit is equipped with safety devices that can
prevent it from functioning when anomalies are detected
such as a blocked venting system.
CAUTION
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in environmental
pollution.
Remove and recycle all components or materials (i.e. oil,
electrical and electronic components, insulation, etc.)
before unit final disposal.
