PRODUCT DESIGN

General Operation
The GMS95 furnaces are equipped with an electronic igni-
tion device used to light the burners and an induced draft
blower to exhaust combustion products.
An interlock switch prevents furnace operation if the blower
door is not in place. Keep the blower access door in place
except for inspection and maintenance.
This furnace is also equipped with a self-diagnosing elec-
tronic control module. In the event a furnace component is
not operating properly, the control module LED will flash
on and off in a factory-programmed sequence, depending
on the problem encountered. This light can be viewed
through the observation window in the blower access door.
Refer to the Troubleshooting Chart for further explanation
of the LED codes and Abnormal Operation - Integrated Ig-
nition Control section in the Service Instructions for an ex-
planation of the possible problem.
The rated heating capacity of the furnace should be greater
than or equal to the total heat loss of the area to be heated.
The total heat loss should be calculated by an approved
method or in accordance with "ASHRAE Guide" or "Manual
J-Load Calculations" published by the Air Conditioning Con-
tractors of America.

Location Considerations
• The furnace should be as centralized as is practical
with respect to the air distribution system.
• Do not install the furnace directly on carpeting, tile,
or combustible material other than wood flooring.
• When suspending the furnace from rafters or joists,
use 3/8" threaded rod and 2" x 2" x 3/8" angle as
shown in the Installation and Service Instructions. The
length of the rod will depend on the application and
clearance necessary.
• When installed in a residential garage, the furnace
must be positioned so the burners and ignition source
are located not less than 18 inches (457 mm) above
the floor and protected from physical damage by ve-
hicles.
Notes:
1. Installer must supply one or two PVC pipes: one for
combustion air (optional) and one for the flue outlet (re-
quired). Vent pipe must be either 2" or 3" in diameter,
depending upon furnace input, number of elbows, length
of run and installation (1 or 2 pipes). The optional Com-
bustion Air Pipe is dependent on installation/code re-
quirements and must be 2" or 3" diameter PVC.
2. Line voltage wiring can enter through the right or left side
of the furnace. Low voltage wiring can enter through the
right or left side of furnace.

3. Conversion kits for high altitude natural or propane gas
operation are available. See High Altitude Derate chart
for details.
4. Installer must supply the following gas line fittings, de-
pending on which entrance is used:
Left -- Two 90º Elbows, one close nipple, straight pipe.
Right -- Straight pipe to reach gas valve.

*= All positioning is determined as installed unit is viewed from the front.
C= If placed on combustible floor, floor MUST be wood only.
NC= For instalaltion on non-combustible floors only. A combustible
subbase must be used for installations on combustible flooring.
24" at front is required for servicing or cleaning.
Note: In all cases accessibility clearance shall take prece-
dence over clearances from the enclosure where accessi-
bility clearances are greater. All dimensions are given in
inches.
High Altitude Derate
When this furnace is installed at high altitude, the appropri-
ate High Altitude orifice kit must be installed. This is re-
quired due to the natural reduction in the density of both
the gas fuel and combustion air as altitude increases. The
kit will provide the proper design certified input rate within
the specified altitude range.
