Installation Instructions for DM96SC
Ultra Low NOx Variable Speed Gas Furnace
(Type FSP CATEGORY IV Direct or Non Direct Vent Air Furnace)
(Type FSP CATÉGORIE IV Direct ou four á air soufflé non direct)
These furnaces comply with requirements embodied
in the American National Standard/National Standard
of Canada ANSI Z21.47•CSA-2.3 Gas Fired Central
Furnaces.
As a professional installer you have an obligation to know
the product better than the customer. This includes all
safety precautions and related items.
Prior to actual installation, thoroughly familiarize yourself
with this Instruction Manual. Pay special attention to all
safety warnings. Often during installation or repair it is
