comfort. This can also result in lower gas
bills.
LIMIT SWITCH
The limit switch shuts off the gas to the
main burner if the furnace becomes too
hot to operate safely.
FLUE LIMIT
The flue limit shuts off the gas to the main
burner if the furnace exhaust or intake
should be restricted.

The 25,000 BTU/Hr model is designed to
fit between two wall studs set at 16 inch
on center. The 40,000 BTU/Hr model will
not fit between wall studs. Follow the
steps below to install.
1. Turn off electrical circuits that pass
through mounting wall. Make sure
there are no pipes or electrical wires
in area you intend to cut.
2. Use stud locator or small finishing nail
to find wall studs. When you locate
studs, drive a small finishing nail into
each stud. This provides a visual
reference for stud locations.
3. 25,000 BTU/Hr Model: Cut an open-
ing in wall between the two studs.
Make opening 14 1/4" wide by 13 5/8"
high (see Figure 2). IMPORTANT:
You must install furnace horizontally.
Do not install furnace vertically.
