8. A gas--fired furnace for installation in a residential garage

must be installed as specified in the warning box in the

“Location” section.

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.

11. See

Table 1

for required clearances to combustible con-

struction.

12. Maintain a 1--in. (25 mm) clearance from combustible ma-

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 a manufacturer’s
specified coil assembly or coil box (see furnace clearance

label).

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) or non-direct vent

(1-pipe) furnace. See

Fig.

2. 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.
This furnace is not approved for installation in mobile homes,
recreational vehicles, or outdoors.

This furnace is designed for minimum continuous return--air
temperature of 60

F (15

C) db or intermittent operation down to

F (13

C) db such as when used with a night setback

thermostat. Return-air temperature must not exceed 80

F (27

db. Failure to follow these return-air temperature limits may affect

reliability of heat exchangers, motors, and controls. See

Fig.

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 20,000 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
