5. Follow installation instructions CAREFULLY to avoid creating unsafe conditions. All wiring
should be done and checked by a qualified electrician, using copper wire only. All gas
connections should be made and leak-tested by a suitably qualified individual, per
instructions in this manual.
6. Use only the fuel for which the heater is designed (see nameplate). Using LP gas in a heater
that requires natural gas, or vice versa, will create the risk of gas leaks, carbon monoxide
poisoning and explosion.
7. Make certain that power source conforms to electrical requirements of heater. Disconnect
power before installing or servicing heater. If power disconnect is out of sight, lock it in open
position and tag it to prevent unexpected application of power. Failure to do so could result in
fatal electric shock.
8. Special attention must be given to any grounding information pertaining to this heater. To
prevent the risk of electrocution, the heater must be securely and adequately grounded. This
should be accomplished by connecting a grounded conductor from the service panel to the
conduit box of the heater. To ensure proper ground, the grounding means must be tested by
qualified field electrician.
9. Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the heater or its air moving device. Do not block
or tamper with the heater in any manner while in operation or just after it has been turned off,
as some parts may be hot enough to cause injury.
10. This heater is intended for general heating applications ONLY. It must NOT be used in
potentially dangerous locations such as flammable explosive, chemical-laden or wet
atmospheres.
In cases in which property damage may result from malfunction of the heater, a backup system
or a temperature sensitive alarm should be used.
