SAFETY
The following is a list of safety precautions and their locations in this manual.
These safety rules and precautions must be followed when installing this furnace.
1. Use only with type of gas approved for this furnace. Refer to the furnace rating
plate.
2. Install this furnace only in a location and position as specified in
The
Location/Placement Section on page 6 of these instructions.
3. Provide adequate combustion and ventilation air to the furnace space as
specified in Air for Combustion and Ventilation section on page 8 of these
instructions.
4. Combustion products must be discharged outdoors. This furnace requires a
special vent system with adequate clearances around the vent-air intake terminal
(s), as specified in
Venting on page 12 of these instructions.
5. As a TYPE FSP CATEGORY IV furnace the combustion air connections, the flue
gas connection, the vent-air intake terminal and condensate trap and drain
system must be as specified in the
Venting section starting on page 12 of these
instructions. Venting and drain materials must be as specified and are to be
supplied by the installer. On direct vent systems the vent outlet shall be installed
so as to be in the same atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air intake.
6. Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially available soap
solution made specifically for the detection of leaks to check all connections, as
specified in
The Gas Connection section on page 19 of these instructions.
7. Always install furnace to operate within the furnace's intended temperature-rise
range with a duct system which has an external static pressure within the
allowable range, as specified in
Furnace Specifications on page 3 of these
instructions. See furnace rating plate.
8. When a furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air circulated by the
furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace, the return air shall
also be handled by duct(s) sealed to the furnace casing and terminating outside
the space containing the furnace.
See page 11 for Ducting.
