and ordinances, especially those that may not have kept pace with
changing residential construction practices. We require these
instructions as a minimum for a safe installation.
Application of this furnace should be indoors with special
attention given to vent sizing and material, gas input rate, air
temperature rise, and unit sizing. Improper installation or
misapplication of the furnace can require excessive servicing
or cause premature component failure.
FRONT
RETURN
AIR
NOTE: These furnaces are designed for a minimum continuous
return-air temperature of 60°F or intermittent operation down to
55°F such as when used with a night setback thermostat. Return-air
temperature must not exceed a maximum of 85°F. Failure to
follow these return-air temperature limits may affect reliability of
heat exchangers, motors, and controls.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, mainte-
nance, or use can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, explo-
sion, fire, electrical shock, or other conditions which may
cause personal injury or property damage. Consult a qualified
installer, service agency, local gas supplier, or your distribu-
tor or branch for information or assistance. The qualified
installer or agency must use only factory-authorized and
listed kits or accessories when modifying this product. Failure
to follow this warning can cause electrical shock, fire,
personal injury, or death.
For accessory installation details, refer to the applicable instruction
literature.
NOTE: Remove all shipping brackets and materials before
operating the furnace.
Step 1—Location
GENERAL — This furnace must be installed so the electrical
components are protected from water. This furnace shall not be
installed directly on carpeting, tile, or any combustible material
other than wood flooring.

Do not install furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmo-
sphere. Make sure all combustion and circulating air require-
ments are met, in addition to all local codes and ordinances.
Do not use this furnace during construction when adhesives,
sealers, and/or new carpets are being installed. If the furnace
is required during construction, use clean outside air for
combustion and ventilation. Compounds of chlorine and
fluorine when burned with combustion air form acids which
cause corrosion of the heat exchangers and metal vent system.
Some of these compounds are found in paneling and dry wall
adhesives, paints, thinners, masonry cleaning materials, and
many other solvents commonly used in the construction
process.
Excessive exposure to contaminated combustion air will
result in safety and performance related problems.
DO NOT install the furnace on its back or sides. Safety
control operation will be adversely affected. A failure to
follow this warning can cause a fire, personal injury, or death.
Locate furnace as close to the chimney/vent and as near the center
of the air distribution system as possible. The furnace should be
installed as level as possible.
Provide ample space for servicing and cleaning. Always comply
with the minimum fire protection clearances shown on the unit
rating plate.
LOCATION RELATIVE TO COOLING EQUIPMENT — The
cooling coil must be installed parallel with or on the downstream
side of the unit to avoid condensation in the heat exchangers.
When installed parallel with a furnace, dampers or other means
used to control the flow of air must prevent chilled air from
entering the unit. If the dampers are manually operated, they must
be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless
the damper is in the full-heat or full-cool position.

HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS

When furnace is installed in a residential garage, it must be
installed so that burners and ignition sources are located a
minimum of 18 in. above floor. The furnace must be located
or protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles. When
furnace is installed in a public garage, airplane hangar, or
other building having a hazardous atmosphere, unit must be
installed in accordance with requirements of National Fire
Protection Association, Inc.
