CAUTION
!
FURNACE CORROSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in furnace damage.
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.
LOCATION RELATIVE TO COOLING EQUIPMENT
The cooling coil must be installed parallel with, or on the
downstream side of the unit to avoid condensation in the heat
exchangers. When installed parallel with the furnace, dampers or
other flow control must prevent chilled air from entering the
furnace. If the dampers are manually operated, they must be
equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless
the damper is in the full- -heat or full- -cool position.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION
Provisions for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air
must be provided in accordance with:
S
U.S. installations: Section 9.3 of the current edition of
NFGC NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1, Air for Combustion
and Ventilation, and applicable provisions of the local
building codes.
WARNING
!
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
The operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation fans,
clothes dryers, attic exhaust fans or fireplaces could create a
NEGATIVE PRESSURE CONDITION at the furnace.
Make- -up air MUST be provided for the ventilation devices,
in addition to that required by the furnace. Refer to Carbon
Monoxide Poisoning Hazard warning in venting section of
these instructions to determine if an adequate amount of
make- -up air is available.
The requirements for combustion and ventilation air depend upon
whether or not the furnace is located in a space having a volume
of at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh input rating for all gas
appliances installed in the space.
S
Spaces having less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh
require the OUTDOOR COMBUSTION AIR
METHOD.
S
Spaces having at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh
may use the INDOOR COMBUSTION AIR,
STANDARD or KNOWN AIR INFILTRATION
METHOD.
Outdoor Combustion Air Method
1. Provide the space with sufficient air for proper
combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases using
permanent horizontal or vertical duct(s) or opening(s)
directly communicating with the outdoors or spaces that
freely communicate with the outdoors.
2. Fig. 7 illustrates how to provide TWO OUTDOOR
OPENINGS, one inlet and one outlet combustion and
ventilation air opening, to the outdoors.
a. One opening MUST commence within 12- -in. (300 mm)
of the ceiling and the second opening MUST commence
within 12- -in. (300 mm) of the floor.

3. ONE OUTDOOR OPENING requires:
a. 1 square inch of free area per 3,000 Btuh (734 mm
b. Not less than the sum of the areas of all vent connectors
The opening shall commence within 12" (300 mm) of the ceiling.
Appliances in the space shall have clearances of at least 1" (25
mm) from the sides and back and 6" (150 mm) from the front.
The opening shall directly communicate with the outdoors or
shall communicate through a vertical or horizontal duct to the
outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with
the outdoors.
Indoor Combustion Air - - NFPA & AGA
Standard and Known- -Air- -Infiltration Rate Methods
Indoor air is permitted for combustion, ventilation, and dilution,
if the Standard or Known- -Air- -Infiltration Method is used.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in death and/or
personal injury.
Many homes require air to be supplied from outdoors for
furnace combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases.
The furnace combustion air supply must be provided in
accordance with this instruction manual.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
