Under no circumstances should the appliance owner attempt to
install and/or service this equipment. Some local codes require
licensed installation / service personnel for this type of equipment.
Improper service, adjustment, or maintenance may cause
explosion, fire, electrical shock or other hazardous conditions
which may result in personal injury or property damage.
WARNING:
To avoid possible equipment damage, fire, or
personal injury, the following instructions must
be observed regarding unit maintenance and
operational procedures.
• To achieve optimum performance and minimize equipment
failure, it is recommended that periodic maintenance be
performed on this unit. The ability to properly perform
maintenance on this equipment requires certain mechanical
skills and tools. Please consult your dealer for maintenance
information and availability of maintenance contracts.
• The area around the gas heating / electric cooling unit 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 strippers in the vicinity of the unit.
• Do not use the area around the unit as a storage area. This area
must be kept clean and clear of loose or exposed insulation
materials. Examine the unit’s area when it is installed or when
insulation is added, since some insulation materials may be
combustible.
• Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the
unit and to replace any part of the control system and any
gas control which has been under water.
• Familiarize yourself with the controls that shut off the gas and
electrical power to the unit. If the unit is to be shut down for an
extended period of time, turn off both the gas and electrical
power. For your safety always turn off both the gas and
electrical power before performing service or maintenance
on the furnace. If the gas supply to the unit must be shut off,
refer to the gas valve label (Figure 3, page 6).
Combustion Air Supply
The gas heating/electric cooling unit needs an adequate supply
of combustion and ventilation air for proper and safe operation.
Do not block or obstruct air openings on the unit or air openings
supplying the area where it is installed.
If the unit is operated with inadequate combustion air supply,
the flame roll-out control switch located above the burners will
open, turning off the gas supply to the burners. The flame roll-
out control is a manual reset device. Do not attempt to reset
this device yourself! Call your servicing contractor.
WARNING:
Combustion air must not be drawn from a
corrosive atmosphere.
To maximize heat exchanger life, the combustion air must be
free of chemicals which form corrosive acidic compounds in the
combustion gases.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not store any chemicals with flammable or caustic
vapors near the vent termination. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• CARBON TETRACHLORIDE • GASOLINE/KEROSENE
• C E M E N T S, G L U E S, PA I N T
REMOVERS, VARNISHES, ETC.
• HALOGEN TYPE REFRIGERANTS
• CLEANING SOLVENTS • HYDROCHLORIC ACID
• CHLORINE BASED SWIMMING
POOL CHEMICALS
• MASONRY ACID WASHING
MATERIALS
• C H L O R I N AT E D WA X E S &
CLEANERS
• PERMANENT WAVE SOLUTIONS
• DE-ICING SALTS OR CHEMICALS • WATER SOFTENING CHEMICALS
Ductwork
WARNING:
Failure to prevent products of combustion from
being circulated into the occupied space can
create potentially hazardous conditions including
carbon monoxide poisoning that could result in
personal injury or death.
The duct connections must be physically sound and sealed to
the unit’s casing to prevent products of combustion from entering
the occupied space.
The return air and circulating air ductwork must not be connected
to any other heat producing device such as a fireplace insert,
stove, etc. Doing so may result in fire, explosion, personal injury,
carbon monoxide poisoning, or property damage.
