1. Refer to outdoor equipment Installation Instructions for

additional information and setup procedure.

2. Outdoor Air Temperature Sensor must be attached in

all dual fuel application.

3. Refer to ICP thermostat Installation Instructions for ad-

ditional information and setup procedure.

4. When using a Humidity Sensing Thermostat, set DE-

HUMIDIFY OPTIONS to H DE

ENRGZD FOR DEHUM

5. HUM 24VAC terminal is 24 VAC and is energized when

the low pressure switch closes during a call for heat.

6. When connecting 115 VAC to humidifier use a separate

115 VAC supply.

7. When using a humidifier on a HP installation, connect

humidifier to hot water.

VENTING

The furnace shall be connected to a listed factory built

chimney or vent, or a clay

−

tile lined masonry or concrete

chimney. Venting into an unlined masonry chimney or
concrete chimney is prohibited.
When an existing Category I furnace is removed or replaced,
the original venting system may no longer be sized to
properly vent the attached appliances. An improperly sized

Category I venting system could cause the formation of
condensate in the furnace and vent, leakage of condensate
and combustion products, and spillage of combustion

products into the living space.
Vent system or vent connectors may need to be resized. Vent
systems or vent connectors, must be sized to approach

minimum size as determined using appropriate table found in
the NFGC.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each

appliance connected to the venting system being placed

into operation could result in carbon monoxide poisoning

or death. The following steps shall be followed for each

appliance connected to the venting system being placed

into operation, while all other appliances connected to the

venting system are not in operation:

1. Seal any unused openings in venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and

horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. Determine that

there is no blockage or restriction, leakage,

corrosion and other deficiencies, which could

cause an unsafe condition.

3. As far as practical, close all building doors and

windows and all doors between the space in which

the appliance(s) connected to the venting system

are located and other spaces of the building.

4. Close fireplace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not

connected to the venting system. Turn on any

exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom

exhausts, so they are operating at maximum

speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.

6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance

being inspected into operation. Adjust the

thermostat so appliance is operating continuously.

7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped

appliances at the draft hood relief opening after 5

minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of

a match or candle.

8. If improper venting is observed during any of the

above tests, the venting system must be corrected

in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

9. After it has been determined that each appliance

connected to the venting system properly vents

when tested as outlined above, return doors,

windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any

other gas

−

fired burning appliance to their previous

conditions of use.

WARNING

GENERAL VENTING REQUIREMENTS

Follow all safety codes for proper vent sizing and installation

requirements, including local building codes, the National

Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1

−

2012/NFPA 54

−

2012 (NFGC),

Parts 12 and 13, the local building codes, and furnace and

vent manufacturers’ instructions.
These furnaces are design

−

certified as Category I furnaces in

accordance with ANSI Z21.47

−

2012/CSA 2.3

−

2012 and

operate with a non

−

positive vent static pressure to minimize

the potential for vent gas leakage. Category I furnaces

operate with a flue loss not less than 17 percent to minimize

the potential for condensation in the venting system. These

furnaces are approved for common venting and multistory

venting with other fan assisted or draft hood equipped

appliances in accordance with the NFGC, the local building

codes, and furnace and vent manufacturers’ instructions. The
