SAFETY SECTION

The following safety practices and precautions must be
followed during the installation, servicing, and operation
of this furnace.
1. Use only with the type of gas approved for this
furnace. Refer to the furnace rating plate.
2. Install this furnace only in a location and position as
specified in "Location and Clearances" (page 4), of
these instructions.
3. Provide adequate combustion and ventilation air to
the furnace space as specified in "Air for Combustion
and Ventilation" (pages 8-9), of these instructions.
4. Combustion products must be discharged outdoors.
Connect this furnace to an approved vent system
only, as specified in the "Venting" section (pages 13-
22), of these instructions.
5. Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use
a commercially available
specifically for the detection of leaks to check all
connections, as specified in "Gas Piping" (pages 29-
30), of these instructions.
6. Always install the furnace to operate within the
furnace's intended temperature-rise range with a duct
system which has an external static pressure within
the allowable range, as specified on the unit rating
plate. Airflow with temperature rise for cfm versus
static is shown in the Service Facts accompanying
this furnace.
7. When a furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry
air circulated by the furnace to areas outside the
space containing the furnace, the return air shall also
be handled by a duct(s) sealed to the furnace casing
and terminating outside the space containing the
furnace.
8. A gas-fired furnace for installation in a residential
garage must be installed as specified in "Location
and Clearances" section
instructions.
9. The furnace may be used for temporary heating of
buildings or structures under construction only when
the following conditions have been met:
a. The furnace venting system must be complete
and installed per manufacturers instructions.
b. The furnace is controlled only by a room
thermostat (no field jumpers).
c. The furnace return air duct must be complete and
sealed to the furnace and clean air filters are in
place.
d. The furnace input rate and temperature rise must
be verified to be within nameplate marking.
e. 100% of the furnace combustion air requirement
must come from outside the structure.

f. The furnace return air temperature range is
between 55 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
g. Clean the furnace, duct work, and components
upon substantial completion of the construction
process, and verify furnace operating conditions
including ignition, input rate, temperature rise
and venting, according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
10. This product must be gas piped by a Licensed
Plumber or Gas Fitter in the Commonwealth of

WARNING
L !
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each ap-
pliance connected to the venting system being placed
into operation could result in carbon monoxide poi-
soning or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each appli-
ance connected to the venting system being placed
into operation, while all other appliances connected to
the venting system are not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and hor-
izontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CAN/CGA B149
Installation Codes and these instructions. Deter-
mine that there is no blockage or restriction, leak-
age, corrosion and other deficiencies which could
cause an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and
windows and all doors between the space in which
the appliance(s) connected to the venting system
are located and other deficiencies which could
cause an unsafe condition.
4. Close fireplace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not con-
nected to the venting system. Turn on any ex-
haust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom ex-
hausts, so they are operating at maximum speed.
Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appli-
ance being inspected into operation. Adjust the
thermostat so appliance is operating continuously.
7. If improper venting is observed during any of the
above tests, the venting system must be corrected
in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z221.1/NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CGA B149.1 In-
stallation Codes.
8. After it has been determined that each appliance
connected to the venting system properly vents
where tested as outlined above, return doors, win-
dows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any
other gas-fired burning appliance to their previous
conditions of use.
