Spark Safety Device: Automatically shuts unit down when there is an abnormal spark at time
of ignition.
Flame Failure Device: Activated when burner flame fails. This prevents raw gas from being
released.
Overheat Switch: This device automatically cuts the gas off if the heater exceeds a
predetermined temperature. This is normally caused by an
obstruction in front of the louvers, or a blocked fan filter,
Two Fusible Links: Backs up the overheat switch. If the fusible link cuts the unit off, a
service call by an authorized person is required to replace the link.

Screw hose joint half of its length onto the air intake hose, then screw another air intake hose into the joint.
The hose can be cut to the required length.
IMPORTANT: The PVC air line is longer than the exhaust line and may need to be cut to size. Be sure,
however, to thoroughly deburr all rough edges.
3. Affixing the air intake hose and exhaust pipe 4. How to use the bent pipe

__Exhaust pipe Adjustthe_
• Set the air intake hose and exhaust pipe into the pipe
clamps, screw the clamp onto the wall fixture, and affix
to the wall with screw B.
• The air intake hose and exhaust pipe can also be
screwed onto the wall using the pipe clamp and
the nut.
With the exhaust pipes inserted into the ends, bend
the bent pipe to the angle reguired for installation.
This part is mainly used for curves and for connection
to vent terminal.

• CAUTIONS
1. Maximum extendable length
FOR BEST ROOM AIR HUMIDITY, KEEP WATER
IN THE HUMIDIFIER TRAY.

2. To prevent water condensation
Condensed water
_1 ! may accumulate
LI here, a?d cause a t_lockage
13 feet, 2bends
The bend where the hose and pipes leave the body is
not counted.
The air intake hose should run along the exhaust pipe.
3. Condensed water formed by
combustion, will run back to the
unit, and may overflow from the
condensation pan if pipes are
longer then 8 feet. Therefore, pipes
exceeding these lengths should be
made to drain to the outside by
giving their horizontal portions 3" or
more downward and outward slope.
3" slope(approximate)
CAUTION
Never allow the exhaust pipe to sag, as condensed
water may accumulate and cause incomplete
combustion.

4. Wherever the air intake hose and exhaust pipe
run sideways, try to have the exhaust pipe on
top (to prevent the air intake hose from sagging
onto the exhaust pipe).
