IMPORTANT
: The furnace must be installed with the Modulating Touch-Screen Thermostat R02P030 (#1F95M). If
the furnace is to be installed with the modulating cooling option, use the Communicating Thermostat R02P029
(#1F991292)
ATTENTION: Do not tamper with the unit or its controls. Call a qualified service technician.
INSTALLER / SERVICE TECHNICIAN: Use the information in this manual for the installation / servicing of the furnace and
These instructions must be read and understood completely before attempting installation.
HOMEOWNER: PLEASE Keep this manual near the furnace for future reference.
