WARNING
To prevent possible death, personal injury
or property damage due to electrical shock,
the furnace must be located to protect the
electrical components from water.
CAUTION
This unit must not be used as a
"construction heater" during the finishing
phases of construction on a new structure.
This type of use may result in premature
failure of the unit due to extremely low
return air temperatures and exposure to
corrosive or very dirty atmospheres.

• When the furnace is heating, the return air tempera-
ture of the furnace must be between 55°F and 100°F.
• Furnaces installed in areas frequently contaminated
by:
permanent wave solutions
chlorinated waxes or cleaners
chlorine based swimming pool chemicals
water softening chemicals
deicing salts or chemicals
carbon tetrachloride
halogen type refrigerants
cleaning solutions (such as perchloroethylene)
printing inks
paint removers
varnishes
hydrochloric acid
cements and glues
antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
and masonry acid washing materials
must be sealed to prevent contaminated air from
reaching the furnace. The furnace must still have an
adequate supply of combustion air, either from a
nearby uncontaminated room or from outdoors. For
details, see "AIR REQUIREMENTS" Section III.
• Provisions must be made for intake of combustion air
(GUD) and venting combustion products outdoors
through proper venting systems. The length of com-
bustion air pipe (GUD) and flue pipe could be a limiting
factor in locating the furnace. See Sections III and IV.
• Allow clearances from the enclosure as shown on
Specification sheet for fire protection, proper opera-
tion, and service access. These clearances must be
permanently maintained. The combustion and venti-
lating air openings in the front and top panels of the
furnace must never be obstructed.
• When the furnace is used in connection with a cooling
unit, the furnace must be upstream of, or in parallel
with, the cooling unit. For details see Section VlI.
• This furnace produces condensate as it operates. Do
not locate the furnace or its condensate drainage
system in an area subjected to below freezing tem-
peratures.
