”
DIAMETER HOLES
THROUGH THE VENT PIPE AND
COLLAR AND USE #8 SCREWS TO
ATTACH. SEE FIGURE 12. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING CAN
CAUSE RECIRCULATION OF FLUE
PRODUCTS CAUSING CARBON
MONOXIDE POISONING RESULTING
IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
!
WARNING
THE DOWNFLOW FURNACE
DESIGN IS CERTIFIED FOR
INSTALLATION ON A NON-
COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR. IF
INSTALLED ON A COMBUSTIBLE
FLOOR, USE THE SPECIAL BASE
SPECIFIED ON THE FURNACE
CLEARANCE LABEL. FAILURE TO
INSTALL THE SPECIAL BASE MAY
RESULT IN FIRE, PROPERTY
DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH. THIS SPECIAL BASE IS
SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY AS
AN ACCESSORY.
!
WARNING
THIS FURNACE AND ANY OTHER
FUEL-BURNING APPLIANCE MUST
BE PROVIDED WITH ENOUGH
FRESH AIR FOR PROPER
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
OF THE FLUE GASES. MOST
HOMES WILL REQUIRE THAT
OUTSIDE AIR BE SUPPLIED INTO
THE FURNACE AREA. FAILURE TO
DO SO CAN CAUSE DEATH FROM
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
!
WARNING
ALL FURNACE INSTALLATIONS
MUST COMPLY WITH THE
NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE AND
LOCAL CODES TO PROVIDE
ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND
VENTILATION AIR FOR THE
FURNACE. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN
CREATE HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS
RESULTING IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE, BODILY INJURY OR
DEATH FROM SMOKE, FIRE OR
CARBON MONOXIDE.
!
WARNING
NEVER ALLOW PRODUCTS OF
COMBUSTION OR THE FLUE
PRODUCTS TO ENTER THE
RETURN AIR DUCTWORK, OR THE
CIRCULATING AIR SUPPLY. ALL
RETURN DUCTWORK MUST BE
ADEQUATELY SEALED AND
SECURED TO THE FURNACE WITH
SHEET METAL SCREWS, AND
JOINTS TAPED. WHEN A FURNACE
IS MOUNTED ON A PLATFORM,
WITH RETURN THROUGH THE
BOTTOM, IT MUST BE SEALED
AIRTIGHT BETWEEN THE FURNACE
AND THE RETURN AIR PLENUM.
THE RETURN AIR PLENUM MUST BE
PERMANENTLY ENCLOSED. NEVER
USE A DOOR AS A PART OF THE
RETURN AIR PLENUM. THE FLOOR
OR PLATFORM MUST PROVIDE
SOUND PHYSICAL SUPPORT OF
THE FURNACE, WITHOUT SAGGING,
CRACKS, GAPS, ETC., AROUND THE
BASE AS TO PROVIDE A SEAL
BETWEEN THE SUPPORT AND THE
BASE.
FAILURE TO PREVENT PRODUCTS
OF COMBUSTION FROM BEING
CIRCULATED INTO THE LIVING
SPACE CAN CREATE POTENTIALLY
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS,
INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING THAT COULD RESULT
IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, CONNECT
RETURN OR SUPPLY DUCTWORK
TO OR FROM ANY OTHER HEAT
PRODUCING DEVICE SUCH AS A
FIREPLACE INSERT, STOVE, ETC.
DOING SO MAY RESULT IN FIRE,
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING,
EXPLOSION, PERSONAL INJURY OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
!
WARNING
BLOWER AND BURNERS MUST
NEVER BE OPERATED WITHOUT
THE BLOWER DOOR IN PLACE.
THIS IS TO PREVENT DRAWING
GAS FUMES (WHICH COULD
CONTAIN HAZARDOUS CARBON
MONOXIDE) INTO THE HOME THAT
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
!
WARNING
A SOLID METAL BASE PLATE, (SEE
TABLE 1) MUST BE IN PLACE WHEN
THE FURNACE IS INSTALLED WITH
SIDE AIR RETURN DUCTS. FAILURE
TO INSTALL A BASE PLATE COULD
CAUSE PRODUCTS OF
COMBUSTION TO BE CIRCULATED
INTO THE LIVING SPACE AND
CREATE POTENTIALLY
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS,
INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING OR DEATH.
