This furnace must:
• be installed so the electrical components are protected from
water.
• not be installed directly on any combustible material other than
wood flooring (refer to SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS).
• be located close to the chimney or vent and attached to an air
distribution system. Refer to Air Ducts section.
• be provided ample space for servicing and cleaning. Always
comply with minimum fire protection clearances shown on the
furnace clearance to combustible construction label.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death, and furnace damage.
Corrosive or contaminated air may cause failure of parts
containing flue gas, which could leak into the living space.
Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen
compounds, which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and
iodide. These elements can corrode heat exchangers and
shorten furnace life. Air contaminants are found in aerosol
sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air
fresheners, and other household products. Do not install
furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmosphere. Make
sure all combustion and circulating air requirements are met,
in addition to all local codes and ordinances.

The following types of furnace installations may require OUT-
DOOR AIR for combustion due to chemical exposures:
• Commercial buildings
• Buildings with indoor pools
• Laundry rooms
• Hobby or craft rooms, and
• Chemical storage areas
Fig. 4—Multipoise Orientations

If air is exposed to the following substances, it should not be used
for combustion air, and outdoor air may be required for combus-
tion:
• Permanent wave solutions
• Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
• Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals
• Water softening chemicals
• De-icing salts or chemicals
• Carbon tetrachloride
• Halogen type refrigerants
• Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
• Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
• Hydrochloric acid
• Cements and glues
• Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
• Masonry acid washing materials
All fuel-burning equipment must be supplied with air for fuel
combustion. Sufficient air must be provided to avoid negative
pressure in the equipment room or space. A positive seal must be
made between the furnace cabinet and the return-air duct to
prevent pulling air from the burner area and from draft safeguard
opening.
