NOTICE
Check certifications/approvals
• Underwriters Laboratories has certified this burner to comply with
ANSI/UL 296 and has listed it for use with #1 or #2 fuel oil as specified in
ASTM D396. Low sulfur #1 and #2 fuel oils reduce heat exchanger
deposits with all burners compared to the standard fuels. Reduced
deposits extend the service interval for cleaning and improve the
efficiency of the appliance over time. Low sulfur fuels reduce
particulate and oxides of nitrogen emissions as well. The Oilheat
Manufacturers' Association recommends these fuels as the
preferred fuels for this burner.
• State and local approvals are shown on burner rating label (see below).
• All oil burners should be installed in accordance with regulations of
the latest revision of the National Fire Protection Association
Standard NFPA 31 and in complete accordance with all local codes
and authorities having jurisdiction. Regulation of these authorities
take precedence over the general instructions provided in this
installation manual.
• For recommended installation practice in Canada, refer to the latest
version of CSA Standard B139.
