9. The furnace may be used for construction heat provided that

the furnace installation and operation complies with the first

CAUTION

in the

LOCATION

section of these instruc-

tions.

10. These Multipoise Gas--Fired Furnaces are CSA design--cer-

tified for use with natural and propane gases (see furnace
rating plate) and for installation in alcoves, attics, base-

ments, closets, utility rooms, crawlspaces, and garages. The
furnace is factory--shipped for use with natural gas. A CSA
(A.G.A. and C.G.A.) listed accessory gas conversion kit is

required to convert furnace for use with propane gas.

struction.

terials to supply air ductwork for a distance of 36 in. (914
mm) horizontally from the furnace. See NFPA 90B or local

code for further requirements.

13. These furnaces SHALL NOT be installed directly on carpet-

ing, combustible tile, or any other combustible material oth-
er than wood flooring. In downflow installations, factory
accessory floor base MUST be used when installed on com-

bustible materials and wood flooring. Special base is not re-
quired when this furnace is installed on manufacturer’s Coil

Assembly or when Coil Box is used. See Table 1 for clear-
ance to combustible construction information.

Important Installation and Start--up Procedures

Failure to follow this procedure may result in a nuisance

smoke or odor complaint.
The manifold pressure, gas rate by meter clocking,

temperature rise and operation must be checked after

installation.

Minor smoke and odor may be present

temporarily after start--up from the manufacturing process.

Some occupants are more sensitive to this minor smoke and

odor. It is recommended that doors and windows be open

during the first heat cycle.

NOTICE

INTRODUCTION

This 4--way multipoise Category IV condensing furnace is CSA

design--certified as a direct--vent (2-pipe) furnace for 40,000 BTUh
through 140,000 BTUh models using outside air for combustion.

The 26,000 BTUh model can use the same 2--pipe venting system
using outside air for combustion but is not considered direct vent.
A non--direct vent (1--pipe) furnace for all models using indoor air

for combustion or from a well--ventilated attic or crawl space,
where permitted by local code. See Fig. 3. The furnace is

factory--shipped for use with natural gas. The furnace can be
converted in the field for use with propane gas when a

factory-supplied conversion kit is used. Refer to the furnace rating

plate for conversion kit information.

These furnaces are not approved for installation in recreational
vehicles or outdoors.

Single--stage furnaces (40,000 through

120,000) are approved for installation in manufactured
housing/mobile homes with manufacturer--approved accessory.

The conversion kit is required for use with both natural and

propane gas. The furnace must also be installed on a
factory-supplied accessory combustible floor base or evaporator

coil casing.
This furnace is designed for minimum continuous return--air

temperature of 60

_

F (15

_

C) db or intermittent operation down to

55

_

F (13

_

C) db such as when used with a night setback

thermostat. Return-air temperature must not exceed 80

_

F (27

_

C)

db. Failure to follow these return-air temperature limits may affect
reliability of heat exchangers, motors, and controls. See

Fig. 1 -- Freeze Protection and Return Air Temperature

The furnace should be sized to provide 100 percent of the design

heating load requirement plus any margin that occurs because of
furnace model size capacity increments. None of the furnace

model sizes can be used if the heating load is 12,000 BTU or
lower. Use Air Conditioning Contractors of America (Manual J

and S); American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and

Air-Conditioning Engineers; or other approved engineering
method to calculate heating load estimates and select the furnace.

Excessive oversizing of the furnace may cause the furnace and/or
vent to fail prematurely, customer discomfort and/or vent freezing.
Failure to follow these guidelines is considered faulty installation
and/or misapplication of the furnace; and resulting failure, damage,

or repairs may impact warranty coverage.
For accessory installation details, refer to the applicable instruction
literature.

NOTE

: Remove all shipping materials, loose parts bag, and

literature before operating the furnace. See Table 2.
