All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel. 4. Vent Terminal Location Guidelines : Bushes, shrubs, or any vegetation that may restrict the flow of flue products must be kept away from vent and air intake terminations. Terminations must also be kept clear of any leaves, weeds, combustible materials, snow, and ice build-up.
All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel. If the exhaust vent is to be installed in a location which may be exposed to winds blowing directly at the vent termination, this alternate configuration should be used. All previous venting instructions still apply, with the exception that the elbow on the exhaust vent termination is replaced with a straight tee.

1 side and the bottom, be used. This furnace has been factory supplied with a high quality re-usable filter rated for air velocities up to 600 ft/min. An optional Thermo Pride filter rack assembly (part no. AOPS7547 for -050, -075 & -100 and AOPS7375 for -125) is available which is sized for the filter provided.
Page 40
Replace the completely dry filter in the rack. If an optional Thermo Pride filter rack is used with the furnace, it will serve as a template to scribe a mark for the return air opening on the casing. Place the filter rack on the casing 1 inch up from the bottom of the furnace on either the Left or Right side of the cabinet.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel. The proper thermostat heat anticipator setting is 0.4 Amps for furnace operation only. To increase length of cycle, increase setting of heat scale; to decrease length of cycle, decrease setting of heat scale. Anticipators for the cooling operation are generally pre-set by the thermostat manufacturer and require no adjustment.
All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel. In Downflow and Horizontal configurations, setups with restricted airflow may not adequately cool the heat exchanger, This results in the auxiliary limit opening, but it may be prevented by increasing the blower off delay.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel. O. TWINNING When twinned, the circulating blower speeds are synchronized between the furnaces. If either furnace has a need to run the blower, both furnaces will run the blower on the same speed. The cooling speed has highest priority, followed by heating speed and fan speed.
All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel. B. INITIAL START UP This furnace does not have a pilot. It is equipped with a hot surface igniter, which automatically lights the burner. Do not attempt to light the burner by hand. Check the following items before the initial start-up. 1.
