Combustion AirCaution:Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogenated hydrocarbons, which include fluoride, chloride, bromides and iodide. These elements are found in aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air fresheners, and other household products. Humidifier warranty is voided when failure of gas equipment is due to operation in a corrosive atmosphere.

Caution:If the humidifier is installed in an unconfined space within a building of conventional frame, masonry or metal construction, infiltration air is normally adequate for proper combustion and ventilation. If the humidifier is installed in a confined space provisions for combustion air must be made. Any ventilation equipment located in immediate proximity of the humidifier could cause a negative pressure condition at the humidifier. Appropriate make-up air must be supplied to compensate for all other ventilation equipment in addition to that required by the humidifier.

ProperoperationoftheSeriesGFHrequiresairforcombustionandventilation.ProvisionsforcombustionandventilationairmustcomplywithSection5.3,AirforCombustionandVentilation,oftheNationalFuelGasCode,ANSIZ223.1-1988,oracceptableprovisionsforthelocalbuildingcodes.Canadianinstallationsmustbeinstalledinaccordancewithsections7.2,7.3and7.4oftheCAN/CGA.B149InstallationCodes,andallauthoritieshavingjurisdiction.
