IMPORTANT FACTS
Your gas furnace uses air from outside the home for com-
bustion and venting. It is not to be installed using in-house
air. Therefore, both pipes must terminate outside the struc-
ture and must not be obstructed in any way.
5
To minimize the possibility of serious personal injury, fire,
damage to your furnace, or improper operation,
carefully
follow these safety rules:
• Keep the area around your furnace free of combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids and vapors.
• Do not cover the furnace, store trash or debris near it, or in
any way block the flow of fresh air to the unit.
• A furnace installed in an attic or other insulated space must
be kept free and clear of insulating material. Examine the
furnace area when installing the furnace or adding more
insulation. Some materials may be combustible.
NOTE:
Do not use this furnace if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to
inspect the furnace and to replace any part of the control
system and any gas control which has been under water.

NOTE:
The qualified installer or agency must use only
factory-authorized replacement parts, kits, and accessories
when modifying this product.
This furnace contains SAFETY DEVICES which must be
MANUALLY RESET. If the furnace is left unattended for an
extended period of time, have it checked periodically for
proper operation. This precaution will prevent problems
associated with no heat, such as frozen water pipes, etc. See
section “Before You Request a Service Call” in this manual.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installation and service of heating equipment can be hazard-
ous due to gas and electrical components. Only trained and
qualified personnel should install, repair, or service heating
equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance func-
tions such as cleaning and replacing air filters. All other oper-
ations must be performed by trained service personnel.
Observe safety precautions in this manual, on tags, and
labels attached to the furnace and other safety precautions
that may apply.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert
symbol
. When you see this symbol on the furnace and
in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for per-
sonal injury.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION. These words are used with the safety-alert sym-
bol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will
result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING signi-
fies hazards which could result in personal injury or death.
CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which would
result in minor personal injury or product and property
damage.
STARTING YOUR FURNACE
Instead of a continuously burning pilot flame which wastes
valuable energy, your furnace uses an automatic, hot surface
ignition system to light the burners each time the thermo-
stat turns on your furnace. Follow these important
safeguards:
7
• Never attempt to light the burners manually with a match
or other source of flame.
• Read and follow the operating instructions on the furnace,
especially the item that reads as follows:
Wait 5 minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas,
including near the floor. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow “B”
in the safety information above on this label. If you don’t
smell gas, go to the next step.
