Inspect & prepare furnace
Remove furnace from carton
Remove the furnace from its shipping carton and inspect thoroughly.
Remove access panels to inspect the furnace interior.
Immediately file a claim with the transportation
company if you discover concealed damage.
Do not install or attempt to operate the furnace if the
heat exchanger, burner or controls have been
damaged. Immediately contact your furnace
supplier. Operating a damaged furnace could result
in severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
Prepare burner
Remove the burner from its shipping carton and inspect thoroughly.
Read the burner manual and follow instructions for preparing and
installing the burner.
Install the correct nozzle for the required firing rate, using the burner
manual and the information on section 12 of this manual. Follow the
burner manual’s instructions for nozzle installation. Verify the correct
setting of electrodes after nozzle and burner oil tube assembly are in
place.
Openings in walls, floor & ceiling
General
Ensure that the finished door opening to the furnace room is large
enough to install and remove the furnace, water heater or any other
appliances in the room.
Before placing furnace in a closet or small room, cut all openings
required in floor, ceiling or walls for ducts and vent. This will simplify
the work and prevent construction dust from entering the furnace
heat exchanger.
Verify that all clearances to combustible construction
and as needed for service accessibility will be met.
The vent must be no closer than 18 inches to any
combustible surface unless using type L double-wall
vent pipe or constructed per the requirements of
NFPA 31. Provide ventilated thimble per all
applicable codes where vent pipe passes through
wall or ceiling. Failure to comply could result in
severe personal injury, death or substantial property
damage.
Duct locations and sizing

the application. The pressure drop through the duct system must not

exceed 0.2 inches water column. The total drop through the duct
system and air conditioning condensing coil (if used) must not
exceed 0.5 inches water column.
See suggested duct sizing in this manual. For more detailed sizing
information, refer to ACCA Manual D.
Return air duct
You must install a return air duct, sealed to the furnace, even if no
return manifold is used. The only exception is when the furnace is
located in a large unpartitioned room, such as a basement. (A room
whose volume is at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTU/h input of all
appliances in the room is considered large). For large rooms, return
air may be taken directly at the furnace, without a return air duct. No
return air register should be within 20 feet of the furnace.
Cut the required opening for the return air duct in the wall (or floor or
ceiling) of the room before placing the furnace.
Install filter
Install return air filter of the size listed on section 12.
Verify that the filter will be easily accessible for
removal after the furnace is in place.
