The Rheem
Criterion II line of upflow/horizontal gas fur-
naces are designed for utility rooms, closets, alcoves, or
attics. Because of the Criterion's low-profile 34 inch
[864 mm] height, the upflow model can also be used to
satisfy most applications that traditionally call for a
horizontal furnace.
The design is certified by CSA International.
Features

and aluminized steel for the maximum in corrosion
resistance.
Low profile "34 inch" design is lighter and easier to han-
dle, and leaves room for optional equipment.

field conversion.

ture an integrated board with humidifier and electronic air
