10SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSCALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of Californiato cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.IMPORTANT NOTICEThese instructions are intended only for the use by qualified personnel, specifically trained and experi-enced in the installation of this type of heating equipment and related system components. Installationand service personnel may be required by some states to be licensed. If your state is such, be sure your con-tractor bears the appropriate license. Persons not qualified shall not attempt to fix this equipment nor attemptrepairs according to these instructions.WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance may damage the equip-ment, create a hazard resulting in asphyxiation, explosion or fire, and will void the warranty.CODE REQUIREMENTSNOTE: The heater should not be located in an area where possible water leakage will result in damage to thearea adjacent to the heater or to the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended thata suitable drain pan, with adequate drainage, be installed under the heater. The pan must not restrict combus-tion air flow.Installation must be in accordance with local codes, or, in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition ofthe National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54 and National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, and forCanada, the latest edition of CAN/CSA-B149 Installation Codes, and Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1Part 1 and Part 2.SECTION 2 - GENERAL SPECIFICATIONSThese heaters are design-certified and tested under the latest requirements of the ANSI Z21.56 / CSA 4.7Standard for Gas-Fired Pool Heaters. All heaters can be used either indoor or outdoors.Ambient Temperature Rating of Heater ComponentsElectronic Ignition Heater* -32°F to + 175°F*Requires 120 or 240VAC Power SupplyRated inputs are suitable for up to 2,000 feet elevation. The input will be reduced by approximately 4% for each1,000 feet above 2,000 feet, as high elevation reduces combustion performance.WARNING: This unit contains refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) insulation in the combustion chamber. RCF, asmanufactured, does not contain respirable crystalline silica. However, following sustained exposure to veryhigh temperatures (>2192°F), the RCF can transform into crystalline silica (cristabolite). The InternationalAgency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified the inhalation of crystalline silica (cristabolite) as car-cinogenic to humans.When removing the burner or heat exchanger, take precautions to avoid creating airborne dust and avoidinhaling airborne fibers. When cleaning spills, use wet sweeping or High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA)filtered vacuum to minimize airborne dust. Use feasible engineering controls such as local exhaust ventilationor dust collecting systems to minimize airborne dust. Wear appropriate personal protective equipmentincluding gloves, safety glasses with side shields, and appropriate NIOSH certified respiratory protection, toavoid inhalation of airborne dust and airborne fiber particles.
