CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to Ibllow the steps outlined below Ibr each appliance
connected to the venting system being placed into operation
could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
The %llowing steps shall be lollowed lbr each appliance
connected to the venting system being placed into operation,
while all other appliances connected to the venting system are
not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system lor proper size and horizontal
pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223. I/NFPA 54 or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and
Prol)atle hlstallatio_l Code and these instructions.
Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage,
corrosion and other deficiencies, which could cause an
unsale condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows
and all doors between the space in which the appliance(s)
connected to the venting system are located and other
spaces of the building.
4. Close fireplace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to
the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as
range hoods and bathroom exhausts_ so they are operating
at maximum speed. Do not operate a sunm_er exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being
inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so
appliance is operating continuously.
7. Test %r spillage fi'om draft hood equipped appliances at the
drali hood relief opening alter 5 ndnutes of main burner
operation. Use the flame of a match or candle.
8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above
tests, the venting system nmst be corrected in accordance
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA .54
and/or (7\S_B149.1, Natutvd Gas and Propane Installation
Code.
9. After it has been determined that each appliance connected
to the venting system properly vents when tested as
outlined above_ return doors_ windows, exhaust fans,
fireplace dampers and any other gas-fired burning
appliance to their previous conditions of use.
Vent system or vent connectors may need to be resized. Vent
systems or vent cormectors, must be sized to approach nlil'dlnum
size as determined using appropriate table lbund in the NFGC or
NSCNGP1C.
GENERAL VENTING REQUIREMENTS
Follow all salety codes %r proper vent sizing and installation
requirements, including local building codes, the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-2002/NFPA .54-2002 (NFGC), Parts It)
and 13 in the United States or the Natiomd Stcm&_rd qf' Canada,
Narulvd Gas and Propane hlstalh_rion Code CSA-B149.1-011
(NSCNGPIC), Section 7 and Appendix C in Canada, the local
building codes, and lhrnace and vent manufacturers' instructions.
These lhrnaces are design-certified as Category I furnaces in
accordance with ANSI Z21.47-2IIII3/CSA 2.3-211113 and operate
with a non-positive vent static pmssurc to minimize the potential
lbr vent gas leakage. Category 1 lhrnaces operate with a flue loss
not less than 17 percent to minimize the potential lbr condensation
in the venting system. These furnaces are approved lot common
venting and multistory venting with other fan assisted or drali
hood equipped appliances in accordance with the NFGC or the
NSCNGPIC, the local building codes, and lurnace and vent
manufacturers' instructions.

The lbllowing inlormation and warning nlust be considered in
addition to the requirements defined in the NFGC and the
NSCNGP1C.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Faihn'e to %llow this warning could result in personal iniury
or death.
Do not bypass the draft salegnard switch, as an unsali:
condition could exist which nmst be corrected.
1. If a vent (common or dedicated) becomes blocked, the fln'nace
will be shut off by the draft salbguard switch located on the
vent elbow.
2. Do not vent this Catego U I furnace into a single-wall
dedicated or connnon vent. The dedicated or connnon vent is
considered to be the vertical portion of the vent system that
terminates outdoors.
3. Vent connectors serving Category 1 furnaces shall not be
connected into any portion of a mechanical drali system
operating under positive pressure.
4. In the U.S.: Do not vent this appliance with any solid fi_el
burning appliance.
In Canada: Check with the authority having jurisdiction lbr
approval on use with solid lhel burning appliance.
5. Category 1 lhrnaces nmst be vented vertically or nearly
vertically unless equipped with a listed power ventor.
6. Do not vent this appliance into an unlined masonry chimney.
Reli:r to Chinmey Inspection Chart, Fig. 32.
MASONRY CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: These furnaces are CSA design-certified lbr use in
exterior tile-lined masonry chinmeys with a factory accessory
Chinmey Adapter Kit. Reli:r to the furnace rating plate lk_rcorrect
kit usage. The Chimney Adapter Kits are lbr use with ONLY
furnaces having a Chimney Adapter Kit numbers marked on the
furnace rating plate.
If a clay tile-lined masonry chinmey is being used and it is exposed
to the outdoors below the roof line, relining ndght be required.
Chinmeys shall conlorm to the Standard %r Chinmeys, Fireplaces,
Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances ANSI/NFPA 211-2003
in the United States and to a Provincial or Territorial Building
Code in Canada (in its absence, the National Building Code of
Canada) and nmst be in good condition.
U.S.A.-Relbr to Sections 13.1.9 and 13.2.20 of the NFGC or the
authority having jurisdiction to determine whether relining is
required. If relining is required, use a properly sized listed metal
liner, Type-B vent, or a listed alternative venting design.
NOTE: See the NFGC, 13.1.9 and 13.2.20 regarding alternative
venting design and the Exception, which cover installations such
as the Chimney Adapter Kits KGACA02014FC and
KGACA02015FC, which are listed lbr use with these furnaces.
The Chinmey Adapter Kit is listed alternative venting system lbr
these lurnaces. See the kit instructions lbr complete details.
