Installation on Combustible Flooring
1. When unit is installed on a combustible floor, a
downflow combustible flooring base must be installed
between the furnace and the floor. The base must be
ordered separately. See Table 2 for opening size to
cut in floor.
2. After opening is cut, set combustible flooring base into
opening.
3. Check sealing strips on combustible flooring base to
make sure they are properly glued and positioned.
4. Lower supply air plenum into downflow combustible
flooring base until plenum flanges seal against the
strips.
NOTE:
Be careful not to damage sealing strips. Check
for a tight seal.
5. Set the furnace over the plenum.
6. Ensure that the seal between the furnace and plenum
is adequate.
The furnace and downflow combustible flooring base
shall not be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other
