INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

General Installation

c WARNING: The area around the furnace must be
kept free and clear of combustible materials,
especially papers and rags.
c WARNING: This furnace is not to be used as a
construction heater.
NOTE: READ THIS SECTION BEFORE STARTING
INSTALLATION
This furnace is equipped with orifices for operation with
natural gas. For conversion to propane gas, see
instructions in Gas Conversion Section of this manual.
Any reference to L.P. or Propane gas in this manual, any
other labels, or markings on this furnace is to be
construed to be propane HD-5. A commercial grade of
liquefied petroleum gases composed of a minimum of 90
percent liquid propane (C8H8).
The selection of a furnace heating capacity for a
proposed installation should be based on a heat loss
calculation made according to the manuals provided by
the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) or
the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE).
Do not allow return air temperatures to drop below 55° F
for extended periods. To do so may case condensation
in the heat exchanger which can cause premature heat
exchanger failures.
It is recommended that a commercial available CO alarm
be installed conjunction with any fossil fuel burning
appliance. The CO alarm shall be installed according to
the alarm manufacturer's installation instructions and be
listed in accordance with the latest edition of the UL
Standard for Single and Multiple Station Carbon
Monoxide Alarms, UL 2034.

Standard Clearances

Standard clearances are mandatory minimum
clearances from heated surfaces of the furnace to
combustible materials to assure protection from fire
hazard during furnace operation. (Refer to the National
Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54, latest edition, for definitions of
combustible and non-combustible materials).
Accessibility clearances, which are typically greater, may
exceed fire protection clearances. Therefore, allow
ample clearances for servicing the furnace for easy
access to the air filter, blower assembly, burner
assembly, controls, and vent connections.
