INSTALLATION 

 

 
 

WARNING- FAILTURE  TO INSTALL  THE AMERICAS HEAT FURNACE 
ACCORDING  TO  INSTRUCTIONS  MAY VOID THE WARRANTY. 

 

 

 

Install the Americas  Heat furnace in a room with adequate air for combustion  and ventilation - 60 

cubic feet per minute  minimum.   Minimum  clearances for the Americas Heat furnace  is 32" from top of 
furnace to ceiling,  30" from  the front of the furnace to the wall, 6"on either side and 18"  from  the back  of the 
furnace to the wall. 

 

The  Americas Heat  furnace is for use as a primary heat source.   The Americas  Heat 

furnace should  be installed  with  the metal hot air plenum connected to metal hot  air duct  work  and metal 
cold air return  plenum  joined  to return  air system. 
This unit is not designed  to be installed as an ad-on furnace.  If you plan to use the Americas  Heat  furnace 

in conjunction  with another  furnace, install safety measures to prevent air back  feed from one furnace  to the 
other.  Failure to take this precaution  could cause either furnace to overheat. 

 

**IMPORTANT**   

Maintain  the 14"  x 14" (196 sq. in.) hot air and return air 

connections to your existing duct work. Reduction in size of these connections can restrict air movement 
over and thru the heat  exchanger,  resulting in overheating and operational problems  with  the furnace. 

 

Connect  the Americas  Heat furnace to a lined masonry chimney acceptable  to the authority having 

jurisdiction.  USA installation  may  also use a residential type and building heating  appliance  chimney. 
Canadian installation  may  also use  a 6" (minimum) metal flue pipe using sheet metal  screws. Do not 
connect the furnace  to any chimney  flue servicing any other heating appliance,  as recommended  by the 
Nation Fire Prevention  Association.   All chimney connections must meet the approval  of the local building 
inspector and fire marshall  and conform  to all local, state, provincial and national  codes. 

 

**IMPORTANT**   

The  following procedure  for measuring and setting the proper  chimney  draft is probably 

the most important  installation  procedure  to follow for the proper operation  of the Americas  Heat  furnace. 

 

The Americas  Heat  furnace requires .02- .04 in. water column draft (chimney  draft)  on low fire, to 

assure proper operation.   Low fire mode is when the thermostat is satisfied  and  fuel is not being augered 
into the burner. When  the chimney  draft is too high, burner fire may go out. If the chimney  draft is too low, 
smoke may back  up in the furnace  and storage bin, causing a possible hazard. 

 

The  supplied  barometric  regulator  should be installed in the flue (as per  the enclosed  instructions) 

to properly regulate  .02- .04 inc.  water column draft.  The counter weight setting on the barometric 
regulator regulates this setting. (See "ADJUSTING THE CONTROL" instructions  below.)
