Safety Information
DANGER
Danger of explosion.
There are circumstances in which odorant used with LP/
propane gas can lose its scent. In case of a leak, LP/
propane gas will settle close to the floor and may be
difficult to smell. An LP/propane leak detector should be
installed in all LP applications.
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause property damage, personal
injury or loss of life. Installation and service must be
performed by a licensed professional HVAC installer or
equivalent, service agency, or the gas supplier.
CAUTION
As with any mechanical equipment, contact with sharp
sheet metal edges can result in personal injury. Take
care while handling this equipment and wear gloves and
protective clothing.
Certifications
ML180DFE units are CSA International certified.
In the USA, installation of gas furnaces must conform with
local building codes. In the absence of local codes, units
must be installed according to the current National Fuel
Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1). The National Fuel Gas Code is
available from the following address:
American National Standards Institute, Inc.
11 West 42nd Street
New York, NY 10036
Clearances
Adequate clearance must be made around the air open-
ings into the vestibule area. In order to ensure proper unit
operation, combustion and ventilation air supply must
be provided according to the current National Fuel Gas
Code. Vent installations must be consistent with the Na-
tional Fuel Gas Code venting tables (in this instruction)
and applicable provisions of local building codes.
This furnace is CSA International certified for installation
clearances to combustible material as listed on the unit
nameplate and in the tables in figure 13. Accessibility and
service clearances must take precedence over fire protec-
tion clearances.
Installed Locations
For installation in a residential garage, the furnace must
be installed so that the burner(s) and the ignition source
are located no less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the
floor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid
physical damage by vehicles. When a furnace is installed
in a public garage, hangar, or other building that has a
hazardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed ac-
cording to recommended good practice requirements and
current National Fuel Gas Code.
NOTE - Furnace must be adjusted to obtain a temperature
rise within the range(s) specified on the unit nameplate.
Failure to do so may cause erratic limit operation and may
also result in premature heat exchanger failure.
This ML180DFE furnace must be installed so that its elec-
trical components are protected from water.
Installed in Combination with a Cooling Coil
When this furnace is used with cooling units, it shall be in-
stalled in parallel with, or on the upstream side of, cooling
units to avoid condensation in the heating compartment.
With a parallel flow arrangement, a damper (or other
means to control the flow of air) must adequately prevent
chilled air from entering the furnace (see figure 1). If the
damper is manually operated, it must be equipped to pre-
vent operation of either the heating or the cooling unit,
unless it is in the full HEAT or COOL setting.
