duct. This opening shall be accessible when the furnace is installed
and shall be of such a size that the heat exchanger can be viewed
for visual light inspection or such that a sampling probe can be in-
serted into the airstream. The access panel must be made to pre-
vent air leaks when the furnace is in operation.
When the furnace is heating, the temperature of the return air enter-
ing the furnace must be between 55°F and 100°F.

ETURN IR UCTWORK
Filters must be used with this furnace. Discuss filter maintenance
with the building owner. Filters do not ship with this furnace, but
must be provided by the installer. Filters must comply with UL900 or
CAN/ULCS111 standards. If the furnace is installed without filters,
the warranty will be voided.
On upflow units, guide dimples locate the side return cutout loca-
tions. Use a straight edge to scribe lines connecting the dimples.
Cut out the opening on these lines. NOTE: An undersized opening
will cause reduced airflow.
Refer to Minimum Filter Area tables to determine filter area require-
ments.

PRIGHT NSTALLATIONS
Depending on the installation and/or customer preference, differing
filter arrangements can be applied. Filters can be installed in the
central return register or a side panel external filter rack kit (up-
flows). As an alternative a media air filter or electronic air cleaner
can be used as the requested filter.
The following figure shows possible filter locations.

Furnace must have a 115 VAC power supply properly connected

eration. In addition to the following start-up and adjustment items,
refer to further information in Section XVI, Operational Checks.

EAT NTICIPATOR
480
The heat anticipator in the room thermostat must be correctly ad-
justed to obtain the proper number of cycles per hour and to prevent
"overshooting" of the setting. Set the heat anticipator setting to 0.7
amps. Follow the thermostat manufacturer's instructions on how to
adjust the heat anticipator setting.

RAIN RAP RIMING
2000
The drain trap must be primed prior to furnace startup. To prime, fill
the drain trap with water. This ensures proper furnace drainage
---
upon startup and prohibits the possibility of flue gases escaping
---
through the drain system.

URNACE OPERATION
---
Purge gas lines of air prior to startup. Be sure not purge lines into
an enclosed burner compartment.
800
Check for leaks using an approved chloride-free soap and water
800
solution, an electronic combustible gas detector, or other approved
method. Verify that all required kits (propane gas, high altitude,
etc.) have been appropriately installed.

URNACE TARTUP
1. Close the manual gas shutoff valve external to the furnace.
2. Turn off the electrical power to the furnace.
3. Set the room thermostat to the lowest possible setting.
4. Remove the burner compartment door.
NOTE: This furnace is equipped with an ignition device which
automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner by
hand.
5. Move the furnace gas valve manual control to the OFF
position.
