SAFETY SAFETY TITLE INFORMATION IMPORTANT EXTRACTS FROM THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION WEBSITE WWW.CPSC.GOV Carbon monoxide is produced by burning fuel. Therefore, any fuel-burning appliance in your home is a potential CO source. When cooking or heating appliances are kept in good working order, they produce little CO. Improperly operating appliances can produce fatal CO concentrations in your home.
SAFETY PRODUCT AND SAFETY INFORMATION IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR THE HOMEOWNER AND THE TECHNICIAN STOP ! READ BEFORE SERVICING This manual contains important information with respect to the operation and maintenance of the appliance. Failure to adhere to the guidelines within this manual can result in substantial property damage, serious injury, or death. This manual must be provided to the Homeowner, who will keep it in a safe place for future reference.
SAFETY PRODUCT AND SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING • A byproduct of any gas fired appliance is carbon monoxide. Triangle Tube requires the installation of a minimum of two (2) hard-wired carbon monoxide detectors with an alarm and battery back-up; one in the mechanical room where the boiler is located and another installed in the living area outside the bedroom(s) for all installations. Consult the local authority having jurisdiction for any additional carbon monoxide detector requirements in your area.
