furnace. The M3 furnace series has been
certified to the ANSI Z21.47/CSA2.3-2001 for
use in the United States and Canada and to the
UL307B —1995 for use in the United States.
These furnaces may be installed in:
1. Manufactured Homes.
2. Park Models and Manufactured buildings
3. Modular Homes/Buildings
The following are safety guidelines with refer-
