These elements can corrode heat exchangers andshorten furnace life. Air contaminants are found in aerosolsprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, airfresheners, and other household products.CAUTION!CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARDFailure to follow this warning could result in personalinjury or death.The operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation fans,clothes dryers, attic exhaust fans or fireplaces could create aNEGATIVE PRESSURE CONDITION at the furnace.Make--up air MUST be provided for the ventilation devices,in addition to that required by the furnace. Refer to theCarbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard warning in the ventingsection of these instructions to determine if an adequateamount of make--up air is available.! WARNINGThe requirements for combustion and ventilation air depend uponwhether or not the furnace is located in a space having a volumeof at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh input rating for all gasappliances installed in the space.S Spaces having less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuhrequire the OUTDOOR COMBUSTION AIRMETHOD.58CV
