1. Use only with type of gas approved for this furnace. Refer
to the furnace rating plate.
2. Install this furnace only in a location and position as spe-
cified in the "Location" section of these instructions.
3. Provide adequate combustion
and ventilation
air to the
furnace space as specified in "Air for Combustion
and
Ventilation" section.
4. Combustion products must be discharged outdoors. Con-
nect this furnace to an approved vent system only, as spe-
cified in the "Venting" section of these instructions.
5. Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a com-
mercially available soap solution made specifically for the
detection of leaks to check all connections, as specified in
the "Gas Piping" section.
6. Always install furnace to operate within the furnace's in-
tended temperature-rise
range with a duct system which
has an external static pressure within the allowable range,
as specified in the "Start-Up,
Adjustments,
and Safety
Check" section. See furnace rating plate.
7. When a furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space con-
taining the furnace, the return air shall also be handled by
duct(s) sealed to the furnace casing and terminating out-
side the space containing the furnace. See "Air Ducts" sec-
tion.
8. A gas-fired furnace for installation in a residential garage
must be installed as specified in the warning box in the
"Location" section.
9. The furnace may be used for construction
heat provided
that the furnace installation and operation complies with
the first CAUTION in the LOCATION section of these in-
structions.
10. These Multipoise Gas-Fired Furnaces are CSA (formerly
A.G.A. and C.G.A.) design-certified
for use with natural
and propane gases (see furnace rating plate) and for install-
ation in alcoves, attics, basements, closets, utility rooms,
crawlspaces, and garages. The furnace is factory-shipped
for use with natural gas. A CSA (A.G.A. and C.G.A.) lis-
ted accessory gas conversion kit is required to convert fur-
nace for use with propane gas.
11. See Fig. 1 for required clearances to combustible construc-
tion.
12. Maintain a 1-in. (25 mm) clearance from combustible ma-
terials to supply air ductwork for a distance of 36 in. (914
mm) horizontally from the furnace. See NFPA 90B or loc-
al code for further requirements.
13. These furnaces SHALL NOT be installed directly on car-
peting, tile, or any other combustible material other than
wood flooring. In downflow installations, factory access-
ory floor base MUST be used when installed on combust-
ible materials and wood flooring. Special base is not re-
quired when this furnace is installed on manufacturer's
Coil Assembly Part No. CNPV, CNRV, CAR or CAP or
when Coil Box Part No. KCAKC is used. See Fig. 1 for
clearance to combustible construction information.
