13. These furnaces SHALL NOT be installed directly on
carpeting, combustible tile, or any other combustible
material other than wood flooring. In downflow
installations, factory accessory floor base MUST be
used when installed on combustible materials and wood
flooring. Special base is not required when this furnace
is installed on manufacturer's Coil Assembly or when
Coil Box is used. See Table 1 for clearance to
combustible construction information.
NOTICE
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION
PROCEDURES
Failure to follow this procedure may result in a nuisance smoke
or odor complaint.
The manifold pressure, gas rate by meter clocking, temperature
rise and operation must be checked after installation. Minor
smoke and odor may be present temporarily after start−up from
the manufacturing process. Some occupants are more
sensitive to this minor smoke and odor. It is recommended that
doors and windows be open during the first heat cycle.

Introduction

The 4−way multipoise Category IV condensing furnace is CSA
design−certified as a direct vent (2−pipe) or non−direct vent
(1−pipe) furnace. (See
factory−shipped for use with natural gas. The furnace can be
converted in the field for use with propane gas when a
factory−supplied conversion kit is used. Refer to the furnace
rating plate for conversion kit information.
This furnace is not approved for installation in mobile homes,
recreational vehicles, or outdoors.
This furnace is designed for minimum continuous return−air
temperature of 60°F (15°C) db or intermittent operation down to
55°F (15°C) db such as when used with a night setback
thermostat. Return−air temperature must not exceed 80°F
(27°C) db. Failure to follow these return−air temperature limits
may affect reliability of heat exchangers, motors, and controls
(See Figure 1)
The furnace should be sized to provide 100 percent of the
design heating load requirement plus any margin that occurs
because of furnace model size capacity increments. Heating

methods. Excessive oversizing of the furnace could cause the
furnace and/or vent to fail prematurely.
