ISCHARGE
NOTE: Discharge body's static electricity before touching unit. An
electrostatic discharge can adversely affect electrical components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation and
servicing to protect the integrated control module from damage.
By putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same
electrostatic potential, these steps will help avoid exposing the
integrated control module to electrostatic discharge. This procedure
is applicable to both installed and non-installed (ungrounded)
furnaces.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the
integrated control module or any wire connected to the
control prior to discharging your body's electrostatic charge
to ground.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnaces near the control. Any tools held in a person's
hand during grounding will be discharged.
3. Service integrated control module or connecting wiring
following the discharge process in step 2. Use caution not
to recharge your body with static electricity; (i.e., do not move
or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded objects, etc.).
If you come in contact with an ungrounded object, repeat
step 2 before touching control or wires.
4. Discharge your body to ground before removing a new
control from its container. Follow steps 1 through 3 if
installing the control on a furnace. Return any old or new
controls to their containers before touching any ungrounded
object.

trailers or recreational vehicles. Neither is it designed or certified
for outdoor applications. The furnace must be installed indoors
(i.e., attic space, crawl space, or garage area provided the garage
area is enclosed with an operating door).
This furnace can be used in the following non-industrial commercial
applications:
Schools, Office buildings, Churches, Retail stores,
Nursing homes, Hotels/motels, Common or office areas
In such applications , the furnace must be installed with the following
stipulations:
• It must be installed per the installation instructions provided
and per local and national codes.
• It must be installed indoors in a building constructed on site.
• It must be part of a ducted system and not used in a free air
delivery application.
• It must not be used as a "make-up" air unit.
• All other warranty exclusions and restrictions apply.
This furnace may be used as a construction site heater ONLY if
the following conditions are met:
• The vent system is permanently installed per these
installation instructions.
• A room thermostat is used to control the furnace. Fixed
jumpers that provide continuous heating CANNOT be used.
• Return air ducts are provided and sealed to the furnace.
• A return air temperature range between 60ºF (16ºC) and
80ºF (27ºC) is maintained.
Air filters are installed in the system and maintained during
construction, replaced as appropriate during construction,
and upon completion of construction are replaced.
• The input rate and temperature rise are set per the furnace
rating plate.
• 100% outside air is provided for combustion air requirements
during construction. Temporary ducting can be used.
NOTE: Do not connect the temporary duct directly to the
furnace. The duct must be sized according to the instructions
under Section V, Combustion and Ventilation Air
Requirements, Section 5.3.3.
• The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct system, air
filters and evaporator coils are thoroughly cleaned following
final construction clean up.
• All furnace operating conditions (including ignition, input rate,
temperature rise and veting) are verified according to these
installation instructions.
NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires that the
following additional requirements must also be met:
• Gas furnaces must be installed by a licensed plumber or
gas fitter.
• A T-handle gas cock must be used.
• If the unit is to be installed in an attic, the passageway to
and the service area around the unit must have flooring.
To ensure proper installation and operation, thoroughly read this
manual for specifics pertaining to the installation and application
