INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NF96UV
This is a safety alert symbol and should never be ignored. When you see this symbol on labels or in manuals, be alert to
the potential for personal injury or death.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause property damage, personal
injury or loss of life. Installation and service must be
performed by a licensed professional installer (or
equivalent), service agency or the gas supplier.
As with any mechanical equipment, personal injury can
result from contact with sharp sheet metal edges. Be
careful when you handle this equipment.
