tag, to the service panel.
3. Installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
a qualified person(s) in accordance with all applicable
codes and standards, including fire-rated construction
codes and standards.
4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent backdrafting. Follow the
heating equipment manufacturer’s guideline and safety
standards such as those published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), and the American
Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local code authorities.

cooking flaming foods.

allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.

for the size of the surface element.
