For installation in a residential garage, the furnace must be
installed so that the burner(s) and the ignition source are
located no less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor.
The furnace must be located or protected to avoid physical
damage by vehicles. When a furnace is installed in a public
garage, hangar, or other building that has a hazardous
atmosphere, the furnace must be installed according to
recommended good practice requirements and current
National Fuel Gas Code or CSA B149 standards.
Note: Furnace must be adjusted to obtain a temperature
rise (100% percent capacity) within the range (s) specified
on the unit nameplate. Failure to do so may cause erratic
limit operation and may also result in premature heat
exchanger failure.
This A96DFMV furnace must be installed so that its electrical
components are protected from water.
Installed in Combination with a Cooling Coil
When this furnace is used with cooling units, it shall be
installed in parallel with, or on the upstream side of, cooling
units to avoid condensation in the heating compartment.
With a parallel flow arrangement, a damper (or other means
to control the flow of air) must adequately prevent chilled air
from entering the furnace. If the damper is manually
operated, it must be equipped to prevent operation of either
the heating or the cooling unit, unless it is in the full HEAT or
COOL setting. See Figure 3.
Heating Unit Installed Parallel to Air Handler Unit
When installed, this furnace must be electrically grounded
according to local codes. In addition, in the United States,
installation must conform with the current National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. The National Electric Code (ANSI/
NFPA No. 70) is available from the following address:
506552-01

NOTE: This furnace is designed for a minimum continuous
return air temperature of 60°F (16°C) or an intermittent
operation down to 55°F (13°C) dry blub for cases where a
night setback thermostat is used. Return air temperature
must not exceed 85°F (29°C)dry bulb.
In Canada, all electrical wiring and grounding for the unit
must be installed according to the current regulations of the
Canadian Electrical Code Part I (CSA Standard C22.1) and/
or local codes.
Do Not set thermostat below 60° F (16° C) in heating
mode. Setting thermostat below 60° F (16° C) reduces
the number of heating cycles. Damage to the unit may
occur that is not covered by the warranty.
The A96DFMV furnace may be installed in alcoves, closets,
attics, basements, garages, and utility rooms.
This furnace design has not been approved for installation
in mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or outdoors.
Use of Furnace as Construction Heater
These units are not recommended for construction heater
during any phase of construction. Very low return air
temperature, harmful vapors and operation of the unit with
clogged or misplaced filters will damage the unit.
These units may be used for heating of buildings or structures
under construction, if the following conditions are met:
•
The vent system must be permanently installed per these
installation instructions.
•
A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use of
fixed jumpers that will provide continuous heating is not
allowed.
•
The return air duct must be provided and sealed to the
furnace.
•
Return air temperature range between 60°F (16°C) and
80°F (27°C) must be maintained.
•
Air filters must be installed in the system and must be
maintained during construction.
