GENERAL INFORMATION
FIGURE 1
MIGRATION OF DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES, FUMES, AND ODORS INTO LIVING SPACES
DUCT LEAKS CAN CREATE AN
UNBALANCED SYSTEM AND DRAW
POLLUTANTS SUCH AS DIRT, DUST,
FUMES AND ODORS INTO THE
HOME CAUSING PROPERTY
DAMAGE. FUMES AND ODORS
FROM TOXIC, VOLATILE OR
FLAMMABLE CHEMICALS, AS WELL
AS AUTOMOBILE EXHAUST AND
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO), CAN BE
DRAWN INTO THE LIVING SPACE
THROUGH LEAKING DUCTS AND
UNBALANCED DUCT SYSTEMS
CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH (SEE FIGURE 1).
• IF AIR-MOVING EQUIPMENT OR
DUCTWORK IS LOCATED IN
GARAGES OR OFF-GARAGE
STORAGE AREAS - ALL JOINTS,
SEAMS, AND OPENINGS IN THE
EQUIPMENT AND DUCT MUST BE
SEALED TO LIMIT THE MIGRATION
OF TOXIC FUMES AND ODORS
INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE
FROM MIGRATING INTO THE
LIVING SPACE.
• IF AIR-MOVING EQUIPMENT OR
DUCTWORK IS LOCATED IN
SPACES CONTAINING FUEL
BURNING APPLIANCES SUCH AS
WATER HEATERS OR BOILERS -
ALL JOINTS, SEAMS, AND
OPENINGS IN THE EQUIPMENT
AND DUCT MUST ALSO BE
SEALED TO PREVENT
DEPRESSURIZATION OF THE
SPACE AND POSSIBLE
MIGRATION OF COMBUSTION
BYPRODUCTS INCLUDING
CARBON MONOXIDE INTO THE
LIVING SPACE.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION, OR
INSTALLATION NOT MADE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE CSA
INTERNATIONAL (CSA)
CERTIFICATION OR THESE
INSTRUCTIONS, CAN RESULT IN
UNSATISFACTORY OPERATION
AND/OR DANGEROUS CONDI-TIONS
AND ARE NOT COVERED BY THE
UNIT WARRANTY.
IN COMPLIANCE WITH RECOGNIZED
CODES, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT
AN AUXILIARY DRAIN PAN BE
INSTALLED UNDER ALL
EVAPORATOR COILS OR UNITS
CONTAINING EVAPORATOR COILS
THAT ARE LOCATED IN ANY AREA
OF A STRUCTURE WHERE DAMAGE
TO THE BUILDING OR BUILDING
CONTENTS MAY OCCUR AS A
RESULT OF AN OVERFLOW OF THE
COIL DRAIN PAN OR A STOPPAGE
IN THE PRIMARY CONDENSATE
DRAIN PIPING. SEE ACCESSORIES

C
ARBON MONOXIDE (CO) IS A COLORLESS, ODORLESS, POISONOUS
G
AS THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
C
ARBON MONOXIDE CAN BE PRODUCED BY ANY FUEL-BURNING
D
EVICE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
• MOTOR VEHICLES
• GENERATORS AND OTHER GASOLINE POWERED TOOLS AND
ENGINES
• GAS AND FUEL-OIL APPLIANCES
• CHARCOAL OR GAS GRILLS
• WOOD OR GAS FIREPLACES AND STOVES
• OUTDOOR CAMPING EQUIPMENT
CARBON MONOXIDE FROM ANY ONE OF THESE DEVICES CAN BE
INADVERTENTLY DRAWN INTO AND DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE
LIVING SPACE BY THE NORMAL OPERATION OF THE CENTRAL HEATING
/ AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM (SEE FIGURE 1).
APPLIANCES AND FUEL BURNING DEVICES MUST BE INSTALLED,
OPERATED AND MAINTAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFAC-
TURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
GASOLINE-POWERED TOOLS AND MOTOR VEHICLES MUST NOT BE
OPERATED IN ENCLOSED SPACES, SUCH AS BASEMENTS, CRAWL-
SPACES, OR GARAGES, EVEN WITH DOORS AND WINDOWS OR VENTS
OPEN, AS EXHAUST FUMES INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE CAN BUILD
UP AND SEEP INTO THE LIVING SPACE THROUGH CRACKS AND
OPENINGS IN THE STRUCTURE. TOXIC FUMES, INCLUDING CARBON
MONOXIDE, CAN ALSO BE DRAWN INTO THE LIVING SPACE THROUGH
OPENINGS AND SEAMS IN THE CENTRAL HEATING AND AIR
CONDITIONING EQUIPMENT AND / OR DUCTWORK.
FOR THESE REASONS, THE U.S. CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY
COMMISSION (CPSC) RECOMMENDS THAT EVERY HOME HAVE AT
LEAST ONE CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM INSTALLED IN THE HALLWAY
NEAR THE BEDROOMS IN EACH SEPARATE SLEEPING AREA OF THE
HOME. CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS SHOULD BE CERTIFIED TO THE
REQUIREMENTS OF THE MOST RECENT UL, IAS OR CSA STANDARD,
AND SHOULD BE INSTALLED, OPERATED AND MAINTAINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE ALARM MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS.
