If you have questions, contact the manufacturer at the address

3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by a

qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable codes

and standards, including fire-rated construction.

4. 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 of Heating, Refrigeration and
