Safe Installation Requirements; Safety Rules; Winter Shutdown - ICP H9MPT050F12B1 Installation Instructions Manual

1. Safe Installation Requirements
Installation or repairs made by unqualified persons can
result in hazards to you and others. Installation MUST
conform with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with codes of all governmental authorities
having jurisdiction.
The information contained in this manual is intended
for use by a qualified service technician who is
experienced in such work, who is familiar with all
precautions and safety procedures required in such
Carbon monoxide or "CO" is a colorless and odorless gas
produced when fuel is not burned completely or when the
flame does not receive sufficient oxygen.
B. There can be numerous sources of fire or smoke in a build-
ing or dwelling. Fire or smoke can cause serious bodily inju-
ry, death, and/or property damage. Therefore, in order to
alert people of potentially dangerous fire or smoke, you
should have fire and smoke detectors listed by Underwrit-
ers Laboratories installed and maintained in the building or
dwelling (see Note below).
Note: The manufacturer of your furnace does not test any de-
work and is equipped with the proper tools and test
instruments.
Failure to carefully read and follow all instructions in
this manual can result in furnace malfunction, death,
personal injury and/or property damage.
NOTE: This furnace is design certified by the Canadian Stan-
dards Association (CSA) for installation in the United States and
Canada. Refer to the appropriate codes, along with Figure 1 or
Figure 2 and this manual, for proper installation.
• This furnace is NOT approved for installation in
mobile homes, trailers or recreation vehicles.
• Do NOT use this furnace as a construction heater or to
heat a building that is under construction.
tectors and makes no representations regarding any brand
or type of detector.
C. To ensure safe and efficient operation of your unit, you
should do the the following:
1. Thoroughly read this manual and labels on the unit.
This will help you understand how your unit operates and
the hazards involved with gas and electricity.
2. Do not use this unit if any part has been under water.
Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect
the unit and to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control which has been under water.
3. Never obstruct the vent grilles, or any ducts that pro-
vide air to the unit. Air must be provided for proper com-
bustion and ventilation of flue gases.
• Use only the Type of gas approved for this furnace (see
Rating Plate on unit). Overfiring will result in failure of
heat exchanger and cause dangerous operation. (Fur-
naces can be converted to LR gas with approved kit.)
• Do NOT use open flame to test for gas leak.
• Ensure adequate combustion and ventilation air is pro-
vided to the furnace.
• Seal around supply and return air ducts.
• The vent system MUST be checked to determine that it is
the correct type and size.
• Install correct filter type and size.
• Unit MUST be installed so electrical components are pro-
tected from direct contact with water.
NOTE: It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the end
user to contact a qualified installer to ensure that the installation is
adequate and conforms to governing codes and ordinances.
Safety Rules
Your unit is built to provide many years of safe and dependable
service provided it is properly installed and maintained. However,
abuse and/or improper use can shorten the life of the unit and
create hazards for you, the owner.
A. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recom-
mends that users of gas- burning appliances install carbon
monoxide detectors. There can be various sources of car-
bon monoxide in a building or dwelling. The sources could
be gas-fired clothes dryers, gas cooking stoves, water
heaters, furnaces, gas-fired fireplaces, wood fireplaces,
and several other items. Carbon monoxide can cause seri-
ous bodily injury and/or death. Therefore, to help alert
people of potentially dangerous carbon monoxide levels,
you should have carbon monoxide detectors listed by a na-
tionally recognized agency (e.g. Underwriters Laborato-
ries or CSA International) installed and maintained in the
building or dwelling (see Note below).
Freezing Temperaturesand Your Structure
Freeze warning.
Turn off water system.
If your unit remains shut off during cold weather the
water pipes could freeze and burst, resulting in serious
water damage.
Your unit is equipped with safety devices that may keep it from op-
erating if sensors detect abnormal conditions such as clogged ex-
haust flues.
If your unit remains shut off during cold weather the water pipes
could freeze and burst, resulting in serious water damage.
If the structure will be unattended during cold weather you should
take these precautions.
1. Turn off main supply water into the structure and drain the
water lines if possible. Open faucets in appropriate areas.
2. Have someone check the structure frequently during cold
weather to make sure it is warm enough to prevent pipes
from freezing. Suggest they call qualified service agency, if
required.
Winter Shutdown
If you go away during the winter months and do not leave the heat
on in your home, the plastic transition box and the condensate
trap on the furnace must be protected from freeze damage. (See
Figure 8 trough NO TAG)
1. Disconnect the 5/8" OD rubber hose from the vent drain fit-
ting that is located downstream of the combustion blower.
insert a funnel into the hose and pour four(4) ounces of
sanitary type (RV) antifreeze into the condensate trap. Re-
connect the 5/8" OD rubber hose to the stub on the vent
drain fitting. Secure with the hose clamp.
