Make sure all combustion and circulating airrequirements are met.CAUTION!Refer to the AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATIONsection for details.AIR FOR COMBUSTION ANDVENTILATIONProvisions for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution airmust be provided in accordance with:S U.S. Installations: Section 9.3 of the NFPA 54/ANSIZ223.1--2006, Air for Combustion and Ventilation andapplicable provisions of the local building codes.S Canadian Installations: Part 8 of the CAN/CSA--B149.1--05,Venting Systems and Air Supply for Appliances and allauthorities having jurisdiction.FURNACE CORROSION HAZARDFailure to follow this warning could result in reduced furnacecomponent life.Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogencompounds, which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, andiodide. These elements could corrode heat exchangers andshorten furnace life. Air contaminants are found in aerosolsprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, airfresheners, and other household products.! WARNINGThe following types of furnace installations may requireOUTDOOR AIR for combustion due to chemical exposures:S Commercial buildingsS Buildings with indoor poolsS Laundry roomsS Hobby or craft rooms, andS Chemical storage areasIf air is exposed to the following substances, it should not beused for combustion air, and outdoor air may be requiredfor combustion:S Permanent wave solutionsS Chlorinated waxes and cleaners58MCB
