CHECK

NOTICE

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION AND START

UP

PROCEDURES

Failure to follow this procedure may result in a nuisance smoke

or odor complaint.
The manifold pressure, gas rate by meter clocking, temperature

rise and operation must be checked after installation. Minor

smoke and odor may be present temporarily after start

up from

the manufacturing process. Some occupants are more

sensitive to this minor smoke and odor. It is recommended that

doors and windows be open during the first heat cycle.

General

1. Furnace must have a 115-v power supply properly

connected and grounded.

NOTE

:  Proper polarity must be maintained for 115-v wiring.

Control status indicator light flashes rapidly and furnace does
not operate if polarity is incorrect or if the furnace is not
grounded.

2. Thermostat wire connections at terminals R, W, G, and Y

must be made at 24-v terminal block on furnace control.

3. Natural gas service pressure must not exceed 0.5 psig

(14- in. w.c., 1125 Pa), but must be no less than 0.16

psig (4.5-in. w.c., 350 Pa).

4. Blower door must be in place to complete 115-v electrical

circuit and supply power to the furnace components.

UNIT OPERATION HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit

operation or performance satisfaction.
These furnaces are equipped with a manual reset limit

switch in burner assembly.  This switch opens and shuts off

power to the gas valve if an overheat condition (flame

rollout) occurs in the burner assembly/enclosure.  Correct

inadequate combustion

air supply, improper gas pressure

setting, improper burner or gas orifice positioning, or

improper venting condition before resetting switch.  DO

NOT jumper this switch.

CAUTION

!

Before operating furnace, check flame rollout manual reset

switch for continuity. If necessary, press button to reset switch.
EAC (115vac) terminal is energized whenever blower operates.

HUM (24vac) terminal is only energized the draft inducer is

energized in heating.

Prime Condensate Trap with Water

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow these warnings could result in personal

injury or death.
Failure to use a properly configured trap or NOT

water-priming trap before operating furnace may allow

positive pressure vent gases to enter the structure through

drain tube. Vent gases contain carbon monoxide which is

tasteless and odorless.

!

WARNING

1. Remove upper and middle collector box drain plugs

opposite of the condensate trap.   (See 

Figure 1

)

2. Connect field-supplied 5/8-in. (16 mm) ID tube with

attached funnel (see 

Figure 1

) to upper collector box

drain connection.

3. Pour one quart (liter) of water into funnel/tube. Water

should run through collector box, overfill condensate

trap, and flow into open field drain.

4. Remove funnel; replace collector box drain plug.
5. Connect field-supplied 5/8-in. (16 mm) ID tube to middle

collector box drain port.

6. Pour one quart (liter) of water into funnel/tube. Water

should run through collector box, overfill condensate

trap, and flow into open field drain.

7. Remove funnel and tube from collector box and replace

collector box drain plug.

Representative drawing only, some models may vary in appearance.

Purge Gas Lines

If not previously done, purge the lines after all connections

have been made and check for leaks.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury,

death, and/or property damage.
Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber. 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.  A fire or explosion may

result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of

life.
