SECTION I: SAFETY
This is a safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol on
labels or in manuals, be alert to the potential for personal
injury.
Understand and pay particular attention to the signal words DANGER,
WARNING, or CAUTION.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not
avoided may result in minor or moderate injury. It is also used to
alert against unsafe practices and hazards involving only property dam-
age.
Improper installation may create a condition where the operation of
the product could cause personal injury or property damage.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or mainte-
nance can cause injury or property damage. Failure to carefully
read and follow all instructions in this manual can result in fur-
nace malfunction, death, personal injury and/or property dam-
age. Only a qualified contractor, installer or service agency should
install this product.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND PRECAUTIONS
1. Only Natural gas or Propane (LP) gas are approved for use with
this furnace.
2. Install this furnace only in a location and position as specified in
these instructions.
3. A gas-fired furnace for installation in a residential garage must be
installed as specified in these instructions.
4. Provide adequate combustion and ventilation air to the furnace
space as specified in these instructions.
5. Combustion products must be discharged outdoors. Connect this
furnace to an approved vent system only, as specified in SEC-
TION VII, "COMBUSTION AIR and VENT SYSTEM" of these
instructions.
6. Test for gas leaks as specified in these instructions.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result in serious
injury, death or property damage.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially
available soap solution made specifically for detection of leaks to
check all connections. A fire or explosion may result causing prop-
erty damage, personal injury or loss of life.
7. Always install the furnace to operate within the furnace's intended
temperature rise range. Only connect the furnace to a duct system
which has an external static pressure within the allowable range,
as specified on the furnace rating plate.
8. When a furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air circulated
by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace,
the return air may also be handled by duct(s) sealed to the furnace
casing and terminating outside the space containing the furnace.
The return air duct system is not required by the furnace manufac-
turer provided the combustion air and vent system have been
installed and maintained as a Two Pipe Sealed Combustion Air
System and provided a return air duct system and return air ple-
num are not required by state, local, or regional codes.
9. It is permitted to use the furnace for heating of buildings or struc-
tures under construction where the application and use must com-
ply with all manufacturer's installation instructions including:
• Proper vent installation;
• Furnace operating under thermostatic control;
2
• Return air duct sealed to the furnace;
• Air filters in place;
• Set furnace input rate and temperature rise per rating plate
marking;
• Means for providing outdoor air required for combustion;
• Return air temperature maintained between 55ºF (13ºC) and
80ºF (27ºC);
• The air filter must be replaced upon substantial completion of
the construction process;
• Clean furnace, duct work and components upon substantial
completion of the construction process, and verify furnace-
operating conditions including ignition, input rate, temperature
rise and venting, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
10. When installed in a Manufactured (Mobile) Home, combustion air
shall not be supplied from occupied spaces.
11. The size of the unit should be based on an acceptable heat loss
calculation for the structure. ACCA, Manual J or other approved
methods may be used.
12. When moving or handling this furnace prior to installation, always
leave the doors on the furnace to provide support and to prevent
damage or warping of the cabinet. When lifting the furnace by the
cabinet, support the ends of the furnace rather than lifting by the
cabinet flanges at the return air openings (bottom or sides) or sup-
ply air opening.
13. When lifting the furnace, it is acceptable to use the primary heat
exchanger tubes as a lifting point provided that the tubes are lifted
at the front of the heat exchangers where attached to the vestibule
panel. Do not use the top return bend of the heat exchangers as
lifting points as the tubes may shift out of position or their location
brackets/baffles.
14. Manufactured (Mobile) Home Installation: This appliance must
be installed in a two-pipe (direct vent) configuration. The combus-
tion air pipe must terminate in the same atmospheric zone, exter-
nal to the building.
15. Modular Home Installations: A (two pipe) direct vent configura-
tion. This configuration has a combustion air pipe and the vent
pipe that terminate in the same atmospheric zone, external to the
building, Refer to Figures 26 or 27 for combustion air and vent ter-
minations.
16. Modular Home Definition: Factory-built home constructed to the
state, local, or regional code where the house will be located. The
home is transported in one or more modules and joined at the
home site.
17. Mobile Home Definition: Factory-built home constructed, trans-
ported and installed under the federal building code administered
by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD
Code), rather than to building codes at their destination. The home
is built, transported, installed on a non-removable chassis.
SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
This product must be installed in strict compliance with the installa-
tion instructions and any applicable local, state, and national codes
including, but not limited to building, electrical, and mechanical
codes.
• A manufactured (mobile) home installation must conform with
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24
CFR, Part 3280, or when such standard is not applicable, the
standard for Manufactured Home Installations (Manufactured
Home Sites, Communities, and Set-ups) ANSI/NCS A225.1, and
/or the Canadian Standard for CAN/CSA Z240 MH, Series M92
Mobile Homes. Furnaces have been certified to the latest edition
of standard ANSI Z21-47 • CSA 2.3.
• Refer to the unit rating plate for the furnace model number, and
then see the dimensions page of this instruction for return air ple-
num dimensions in Figure 12. The plenum must be installed
according to the instructions.
• Provide clearances from combustible materials as listed under
Clearances to Combustibles in Table 1.
