free area of at least one square inch per 4,000 Btu (645mm

per 1.17kW) per hour of the total input rating of all equipment

in the enclosure.

If this unit is being installed in an application with

combustion air coming in from a space serviced by an

exhaust fan, power exhaust fan, or other device which

may create a negative pressure in the space, take care

when sizing the inlet air opening. The inlet air opening

must be sized to accommodate the maximum volume

of exhaust air as well as the maximum volume of

combustion air required for all gas appliances serviced

by this space.

CAUTION

Installation

Setting Equipment

Do not install the furnace on its front, back or in the

horizontal position. See Figure 12. Do no connect the

return air ducts to the back of the furnace. Doing so

will adversely affect the operation of the safety control

devices, which could result in personal injury or death.

CAUTION

Select a location that allows for the required clearances

that are listed on the unit nameplate. Also consider gas

supply connections, electrical supply, vent connection,

condensate trap and drain connections, and installation

and service clearances [24 inches (610 mm) at unit front].

The unit must be level from side to side. Tilt the unit slightly

(maximum 1/2 in. from level) from back to front to aid in the

draining of the heat exchanger. See Figure 11.

Shipping Bolt Removal

Units with a 1/2 hp & 3/4 hp blower motors are equipped

with three flexible legs and one rigid leg. The rigid leg

is equipped with a shipping bolt and a flat white plastic

washer (rather than the rubber mounting grommet used

with a flexible mounting leg). See Figure 10. The bolt and

washer must be removed before the furnace is placed into

operation. After the bolt and washer have been removed,

the rigid leg will not touch the blower housing.

Figure 10.

Units with 1/2 HP & 3/4 HP

Blower Motor

NOTE:

These units may be equipped with a shipping pad

under the blower housing. Remove the shipping pad prior

to operation.

Allow for clearances to combustible materials as indicated

on the unit nameplate. Minimum clearances for closet or

alcove installations are shown in Figure 13.

Blower access panel must be securely in place when

blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which

could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into

living space resulting in personal injury or death.
