LOCATION
• Centralize the furnace as is practical with respect to
the air distribution system.
• The furnace must be set on a level floor to enable the
condensate produced to drain properly. If the floor may
become wet or damp at times, the furnace should be
supported above the floor on a concrete base sized
approximately 1-1/2" larger than the base of the fur-
nace.
• Do not install the furnace directly on carpeting, tile, or
combustible material other than wood flooring.
• Do not install the furnace where the combustion air is
exposed to the following substances:
permanent wave solutions
chlorinated waxes or cleaners
chlorine based swimming pool chemicals
water softening chemicals
deicing salts or chemicals
carbon tetrachloride
halogen-type refrigerants
cleaning solutions (such as perchloroethylene)
printing inks
paint removers
varnishes
hydrochloric acid
cements and glues
antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
and masonry acid washing materials.
Exposure to contaminated combustion air will result in
safety and performance-related problems.
• If the furnace is installed in a residential garage, the
furnace must be positioned so that the burners and
ignition source are located not less than 18 inches
(457 mm) above the floor and protected from physical
damage by vehicles.
