This furnace must:
• be installed so the electrical components are protected from water.
• not be installed directly on any combustible material other than
wood flooring (refer to SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS).
• be located close to the chimney or vent and attached to an air
distribution system. Refer to Air Ducts section.
• be provided ample space for servicing and cleaning. Always
comply with minimum fire protection clearances shown on the
furnace clearance to combustible construction label.
The following types of furnace installations may require OUTDOOR
AIR for combustion due to chemical exposures:
• Commercial buildings
• Buildings with indoor pools
• Laundry rooms
• Hobby or craft rooms, and
• Chemical storage areas
If air is exposed to the following substances, it should not be used for
combustion air, and outdoor air may be required for combustion:
• Permanent wave solutions
• Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
• Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals
• Water softening chemicals
• De-icing salts or chemicals
• Carbon tetrachloride
• Halogen type refrigerants
• Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
• Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
• Hydrochloric acid
• Cements and glues
• Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
• Masonry acid washing materials
All fuel-burning equipment must be supplied with air for fuel
combustion. Sufficient air must be provided to avoid negative pressure
in the equipment room or space. A positive seal must be made between
the furnace cabinet and the return-air duct to prevent pulling air from the
burner area and from draft safeguard opening.

LOCATION RELATIVE TO COOLING EQUIPMENT
The cooling coil must be installed parallel with, or on the downstream
side of the unit to avoid condensation in the heat exchangers. When
installed parallel with the furnace, dampers or other flow control must
prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If the dampers are
manually operated, they must be equipped with means to prevent
operation of either unit unless the damper is in the full-heat or full-cool
position.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
Provisions for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air must be
provided in accordance with:
• U.S. Installations: Section 9.3 of the NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 , Air
for Combustion and Ventilation and applicable provisions of the
local building codes.
CAUTION
!
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING / COMPONENT
DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death
and unit component damage.
Corrosive or contaminated air may cause failure of parts containing flue
gas, which could leak into the living space. Air for combustion must not
be contaminated by halogen compounds, which include fluoride,
chloride, bromide, and iodide. These elements can corrode heat
exchangers and shorten furnace life. Air contaminants are found in
aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air
fresheners, and other household products. Do not install furnace in a
corrosive or contaminated atmosphere. Make sure all combustion and
circulating air requirements are met, in addition to all local codes and
ordinances.
CAUTION
!
FURNACE CORROSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in furnace damage.
Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen compounds,
which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and iodide. These elements
can corrode heat exchangers and shorten furnace life. Air contaminants
are found in aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents,
salts, air fresheners, and other household products.
WARNING
!
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death
and/or property damage.
Do not install the furnace on its back or hang furnace with control
compartment facing downward. Safety control operation will be
adversely affected. Never connect return-air ducts to the back of the
furnace, see
CAUTION
!
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
The operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation fans, clothes dryers,
attic exhaust fans or fireplaces could create a NEGATIVE PRESSURE
CONDITION at the furnace. Make-up air
MUST
be provided for the
ventilation devices, in addition to that required by the furnace. Refer to
the Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Hazard warning in the venting section
of these instructions to determine if an adequate amount of make-up air
is available.
