These high efficiency, compact units employ induced combustion, reli-
able hot surface ignition and high heat transfer aluminized tubular heat
exchangers. The units are factory shipped for installation in upflow or
horizontal applications and may be converted for downflow applica-
tions.
These furnaces are designed for residential installation in a basement,
closet, alcove, attic, recreation room or garage and are also ideal for
commercial applications. All units are factory assembled, wired and
tested to assure safe dependable and economical installation and oper-
ation.
These units are Category I listed and may be common vented with
another gas appliance as allowed by the National Fuel Gas Code.
SECTION I: SAFETY
This is a safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol on
labels or in manuals, be alert to the potential for personal
injury.
Understand and pay particular attention to the signal words DANGER,
WARNING, or CAUTION.

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not
avoided may result in minor or moderate injury. It is also used to
alert against unsafe practices and hazards involving only property dam-
age.
Improper installation may create a condition where the operation of
the product could cause personal injury or property damage.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance
can cause injury or property damage. Failure to carefully read and
follow all instructions in this manual can result in furnace mal-
function, death, personal injury and/or property damage. Only a
