• This furnace is approved for Category I Venting only.
• Provisions must be made for venting combustion products
outdoors through a proper venting system. The length of
flue pipe could be a limiting factor in locating the furnace.

ISCHARGE
NOTE: Discharge body's static electricity before touching unit. An
electrostatic discharge can adversely affect electrical components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation and
servicing to protect the integrated control module from damage.
By putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same
electrostatic potential, these steps will help avoid exposing the
integrated control module to electrostatic discharge. This
procedure is applicable to both installed and non-installed
(ungrounded) furnaces.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the
integrated control module or any wire connected to the
control prior to discharging your body's electrostatic
charge to ground.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnaces near the control. Any tools held in a person's
hand during grounding will be discharged.

3. Service integrated control module or connecting wiring
following the discharge process in step 2. Use caution
not to recharge your body with static electricity; (i.e., do not
move or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded objects,
etc.). If you come in contact with an ungrounded object,
repeat step 2 before touching control or wires.
4. Discharge your body to ground before removing a new
control from its container. Follow steps 1 through 3 if
installing the control on a furnace. Return any old or new
controls to their containers before touching any ungrounded
object.
III. PRODUCT APPLICATION
This furnace is primarily designed for residential home-heating
applications. It is NOT designed or certified for use in mobile
homes, trailers or recreational vehicles. Neither is it designed or
certified for outdoor applications. The furnace must be installed
indoors (i.e., attic space, crawl space, or garage area provided
the garage area is enclosed with an operating door).
This furnace can be used in the following non-industrial
commercial applications:
Schools, Office buildings, Churches, Retail stores,
Nursing homes, Hotels/motels, Common or office areas
In such applications, the furnace must be installed with the
following stipulations:
• It must be installed per the installation instructions provided
and per local and national codes.
• It must be installed indoors in a building constructed on
site.
• It must be part of a ducted system and not used in a free air
delivery application.
• It must not be used as a "make-up" air unit.
• All other warranty exclusions and restrictions apply.
This furnace may be used as a construction site heater ONLY if
the following conditions are met:
• The vent system is permanently installed per these
installation instructions.
• A room thermostat is used to control the furnace. Fixed
jumpers that provide continuous heating CANNOT be used.
• Return air ducts are provided and sealed to the furnace.
• A return air temperature range between 60ºF (16ºC) and
80ºF (27ºC) is maintained.
• Air filters are installed in the system and maintained during
construction, replaced as appropriate during construction,
and upon completion of construction are replaced.
• The input rate and temperature rise are set per the furnace
rating plate.
• 100% outside air is provided for combustion air
requirements during construction. Temporary ducting can
be used.
NOTE: Do not connect the temporary duct directly to the
furnace. The duct must be sized according to the
instructions under Section V, Combustion and Ventilation
Air Requirements, Section 5.3.3.
• The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct system,
air filters and evaporator coils are thoroughly cleaned
following final construction clean up.
• All furnace operating conditions (including ignition, input
rate, temperature rise and veting) are verified according to
these installation instructions.
