Setting Equipment

Do not install the furnace on its front, back or in the
horizontal position. See figure 12. Do not connect the
return air ducts to the back of the furnace. Doing so
will adversely affect the operation of the safety control
devices, which could result in personal injury or death.
Install the ML180DF gas furnace as shipped in the down-
flow position only. Do not install the furnace horizon-
tally.
Select a location that allows for the required clearances
that are listed on the unit nameplate. Also consider gas
supply connections, electrical supply, vent connection,
and installation and service clearances [24 inches (610
mm) at unit front]. The unit must be level.
NOTE - Units with 1/3HP and 1/2HP blower motors are
equipped with three flexible legs and one shipping leg. See
figure 11. In some units with 1/3HP blower motor, the ship-
ping leg is flexible with rubber mounting grommets similar
to the other three mounting legs and require no modifica-
tion. The rest of the units with 1/3HP and 1/2HP blower
motors (these blower motor housings will be tagged) have
a rigid shipping leg equipped with a shipping bolt and flat
white plastic washer. The bolt and washer must be re-
moved before the furnace is placed into operation. Af-
ter the bolt and washer have been removed, the rigid leg
will not touch the blower housing.
The blower access panel must be securely in place when
the blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which
could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into living
space resulting in personal injury or death.
