O PREVENT POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH

DUE TO ELECTRICAL SHOCK, THE FURNACE MUST BE LOCATED TO PROTECT

THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FROM WATER.

Charge (ESD) Precautions
NOTE: 

Discharge body’s static electricity before touching

unit. An electrostatic discharge can adversely affect electri-
cal components.

Use the following precautions during furnace installation and
servicing to protect the integrated control module from dam-
age. By putting the furnace, the control, and the person at
the same electrostatic potential, these steps will help avoid
exposing the integrated control module to electrostatic dis-
charge. This procedure is applicable to both installed and
uninstalled (ungrounded) furnaces.

1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the

integrated control module or any wire connected to the
control prior to discharging your body’s electrostatic
charge to ground.

2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the

furnace near the control. Any tools held in a  person’s
hand during grounding will be discharged.

3. Service integrated control module or connecting wiring

following the discharge process in Step 2. Use caution
not to recharge your body with static electricity; (i.e., do
not move or shuffle your feet, do not touch ungrounded
objects, etc.). If you come in contact with an ungrounded
object, repeat Step 2 before touching control or wires.

4. Discharge any static electricity from your body to ground

before removing a new control from its container. Follow
Steps 1 through 3 if installing the control on a furnace.
Return any old or new controls to their containers before
touching any ungrounded object.

efficiency furnaces are dual certified. Dual certification means
that the combustion air inlet pipe is optional and the furnace
can be vented as a:

Non-direct vent (single pipe) central forced air furnace
in which combustion air is taken from the installation
area or from air ducted from the outside or,

Direct vent (dual pipe) central forced air furnace in which
all combustion air supplied directly to the furnace burn-
ers through a special air intake system outlined in
this manual and the installation instructions.

To ensure proper installation, operation and servicing, thor-
oughly read the installation and service manuals for specif-
ics pertaining to the installation, servicing and application of
this product.
