rise range with a duct system which
has an external static pressure within the allowable range,
as specified in “
Technical Support Manual”
of these instruc-
tions. See furnace rating plate.
•
When a furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air cir-

Safety Rules
Your unit is built to provide many years of safe and dependable
service providing it is properly installed and maintained. However,
abuse and/or improper use can shorten the life of the unit and
create hazards for you, the owner.
A. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission encourages
installation of carbon monoxide alarms. There can be various
sources of carbon monoxide in a building or dwelling. The
sources could be gas
−
fired clothes dryers, gas cooking
stoves, water heaters, furnaces, gas
−
fired fireplaces, wood
fireplaces.
Carbon monoxide can cause bodily injury and/or death. Car-
bon monoxide or “CO” is a colorless and odorless gas pro-
duced when fuel is not burned completely or when the flame
does not receive sufficient oxygen.
Therefore, to help alert people of potentially dangerous carbon
monoxide levels, you should have a commercially available
carbon monoxide alarm that is listed by a nationally recog-
nized testing agency in accordance with Underwriters Labora-
tories Inc. Standard for Single and Multiple Station Carbon
Monoxide Alarms, ANSI/UL 2034 or the CSA 6.19
−
01 Resi-
dential Carbon Alarming Devices installed and maintained in
the building or dwelling concurrently with the gas
−
fired furnace
installation (see Note below). The alarm should be installed as
recommended by the alarm manufacturer’s installation in-
structions.
B. There can be numerous sources of fire or smoke in a building
or dwelling. Fire or smoke can cause bodily injury, death, and/
or property damage. Therefore, in order to alert people of po-
tentially dangerous fire or smoke, you should have fire
extinguisher and smoke alarms listed by Underwriters Labora-
tories installed and maintained in the building or dwelling (see
Note below).
Note:
The manufacturer of your furnace does not test any alarms
and makes no representations regarding any brand or type
of alarms.
C. To ensure safe and efficient operation of your unit, you should
do the following:
1.
Thoroughly read this manual and labels on the unit.
This
will help you understand how your unit operates and the haz-
ards involved with gas and electricity.
2.
Do not use this unit if any part has been under water.
Im-
mediately call a qualified service agency to inspect the unit and
to replace any part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
3.
Never obstruct the vent grilles, or any ducts that provide
air to the unit.
Air must be provided for proper combustion and
ventilation of flue gases.
Frozen Water Pipe Hazard
WATER DAMAGE TO PROPERTY HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in
property damage.
Do not leave your home unattended for long
periods during freezing weather without turning off
water supply and draining water pipes or otherwise
protecting against the risk of frozen pipes and
