Installation on Non-Combustible Flooring
1.
Cut floor opening keeping in mind clearances listed
on unit rating plate. Also keep in mind gas supply
connections, electrical supply, flue and air intake
connections and sufficient installation and servicing
clearances. See Table 1 for correct floor opening size.
2. Flange warm air plenum and lower the plenum into the
opening.

Unit must be level side−to−side. Unit may be positioned
from level to 1/2" toward the front to aid in draining.
Improper installation of the furnace can result in
personal injury or death. Combustion and flue products
must never be allowed to enter the return air system or
air in the living space. Use sheet metal screws and joint
tape to seal return air system to furnace.
In platform installations with furnace return, the furnace
should be sealed airtight to the return air plenum. A door
must never be used as a portion of the return air duct
system. The base must provide a stable support and an
airtight seal to the furnace. Allow absolutely no sagging,
cracks, gaps, etc.
For no reason should return and supply air duct systems
ever be connected to or from other heating devices
such as a fireplace or stove, etc. Fire, explosion, carbon
monoxide poisoning, personal injury and/or property
damage could result.
WARNING
The unit may be installed three ways in downflow
applications: on non-combustible flooring, on combustible
flooring using an additive base, or on a reverse-flow
cooling coil cabinet. Do not drag the unit across the floor
in the downflow position. Floor and furnace flange damage
will result.
