WARNING
Any change to this furnace or its control can be dangerous.
This is a heating appliance and any panel, door or guard
removed for servicing an appliance must be replaced prior
to operating the appliance.

General Information
This furnace is design certified in accordance with American
National Standard/CSA Standard Z21.86 and CSA 2.32 by the
Canadian Standards Association, as a fan type direct vent wall
furnace to be installed according to these instructions.
Any alteration of the original design, installed other than as
shown in these instructions or use with a type of gas not
shown on the rating plate is the responsibility of the person
and company making the change.
Important
All correspondence should refer to complete Model No., Serial
No., and type of gas.
NOTICE:
During initial firing of this unit, its paint will bake out and
smoke will occur. To prevent triggering of smoke alarms, ventilate
the room in which the unit is installed.
Installation on Rugs and Tile
If this appliance is installed directly on carpeting, tile or other
combustible material other than wood flooring, the appliance shall
be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and
depth of the appliance.
The base referred to above does not mean the fire-proof base as
used on wood stoves. The protection is for rugs that are extremely
thick and light colored tile.
Installation in Residential Garages
Gas utilization equipment in residential garages shall be installed
so that all burners and burner ignition devices are located not less
than 18” above the floor.
Such equipment shall be located, or protected, so it is not subject
to physical damage by a moving vehicle.
Qualified Installing Agency
Installation and replacement of gas piping, gas utilization
equipment or accessories and repair and servicing of equipment
shall be performed only by a qualified agency. The term “qualified
agency” means any individual, firm, corporation or company
which either in person or through a representative is engaged
in and is responsible for (a) the installation or replacement of
gas piping or (b) the connection, installation, repair or servicing
of equipment, who is experienced in such work, familiar with all
precautions required and has complied with all the requirements
of the authority having jurisdiction.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts:
The installation must be
made by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts.
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54* Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.

High Altitudes
For altitudes/elevations above 2,000 feet, input ratings should be
reduced at the rate of 4 percent for each 1,000 feet above sea
level. For Canadian high altitude applications, this appliance is
suitable for installation at elevations between 0 feet and 4,500 feet
without change.
Piezo Pilot Ignitor Instructions
Depressing the red button completely causes a spark to occur at
the pilot. This is a substitute for a match which requires opening
the pilot hole cover.
To light the pilot, it is important that the electrode be 1/8” from the
thermocouple. The spark must occur at the point the burner flame
hits the thermocouple. The end of the electrode will be red hot with
the pilot on.
On a new installation with air in the gas line, it is suggested that a
match be used. The match will light the pilot faster than the piezo
under this condition.
Well Head Gas Installations
Some natural gas utilities use “well head” gas. This may affect
the Btu output of the unit and promote sooting. Units shall not be
converted to use well head gas.
