POSITION* FRONT SIDES
Upflow 3" 0"
Horizontal Alcove 6"
C = If placed on combustible floor, floor MUST be wood only.
NOTES:
• For servicing or cleaning, a 24" front clearance is required.
• Unit connections (electrical, flue and drain) may necessitate greater
clearances than the minimum clearances listed above.
• In all cases, accessibility clearance must take precedence over clearances
from the enclosure where accessibility clearances are greater.

C = If placed on combustible floor, floor MUST be wood only.
NC = For installation on non-combustible floors only. A combustible subbase
must be used for installations on combustible flooring.
NOTES:
• For servicing or cleaning, a 24" front clearance is required.
• Unit connections (electrical, flue and drain) may necessitate greater
clearances than the minimum clearances listed above.
• In all cases, accessibility clearance must take precedence over clearances
from the enclosure where accessibility clearances are greater.
Installations must adhere to the clearances to combustible ma-
terials to which this furnace has been design certified. The
minimum clearance information for this furnace is provided on
the unit's clearance label. These clearances must be perma-
nently maintained. Clearances must also accommodate an
installation's gas, electrical, and drain trap and drain line con-
nections. If the alternate combustion air intake or vent/flue
connections are used additional clearance must be provided to
accommodate these connections. Refer to Vent/Flue Pipe and
Combustion Air Pipe for details. NOTE: In addition to the
required clearances to combustible materials, a minimum of
24 inches service clearance must be available in front of the
unit.

HERMOSTAT OCATION
The thermostat should be placed approximately five feet from
the floor on a vibration-free, inside wall in an area having
good air circulation. Do not install the thermostat where it
may be influenced by any of the following:
• Drafts, or dead spots behind doors, in corners, or under
cabinets.
• Hot or cold air from registers.
FLOOR
• Radiant heat from the sun.
C
• Light fixtures or other appliances.
C
• Radiant heat from a fireplace.
• Concealed hot or cold water pipes, or chimneys.
• Unconditioned areas behind the thermostat, such as an
outside wall.
Consult the instructions packaged with the thermostat for
mounting instructions and further precautions.
Combustion & Ventilation Air Requirements
TOP

T
O AVOID PROPERTY DAMAGE
SUFFICIENT FRESH AIR FOR PROPER COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION OF
FLUE GASES MUST BE SUPPLIED
SUPPLIED INTO THE FURNACE AREA
Improved construction and additional insulation in buildings
have reduced heat loss by reducing air infiltration and escape
around doors and windows. These changes have helped in
reducing heating/cooling costs but have created a problem
supplying combustion and ventilation air for gas fired and other
fuel burning appliances. Appliances that pull air out of the
house (clothes dryers, exhaust fans, fireplaces, etc.) increase
the problem by starving appliances for air.
House depressurization can cause back drafting or improper
combustion of gas-fired appliances, thereby exposing building
occupants to gas combustion products that could include car-
bon monoxide.
