WARNING

Product contains fiberglass wool.

Disturbing the insulation in this product during
installation, maintenance, or repair will expose you
to fiberglass wool. Breathing this may cause lung
cancer. (Fiberglass wool is known to the State of Cal-
ifornia to cause cancer.)

Fiberglass wool may also cause respiratory, skin,
and eye irritation.

To reduce exposure to this substance or for further
information, consult material safety data sheets

WARNING

Do not set thermostat below 60°F (16°C) in heating
mode. Setting thermostat below 60°F (16°C) reduces
the number of heating cycles. Damage to the unit
may occur that is not covered by the warranty.

WARNING

If overheating occurs or if gas supply fails to shut off,
shut off the manual gas valve to the appliance before
shutting off electrical supply.

WARNING

Do not use this furnace if any part has been under-
water. A flood−damaged furnace is extremely dan-
gerous. Attempts to use the furnace can result in
fire or explosion. Immediately call a licensed pro-
fessional service technician (or equivalent)  to in-
spect the furnace and to replace all gas controls,
control system parts, and electrical parts that have
been wet or to replace the furnace, if deemed neces-
sary.

NOTICE

Any additions, changes, or conversions required in
order for the appliance to satisfactorily meet the ap-
plication needs must be made by a licensed profes-
sional installer (or equivalent) using factory−speci-
fied and approved parts.

WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause property damage, person-
al injury or loss of life. Installation and service must
be performed by a licensed professional installer (or
equivalent), a service agency, or the gas supplier.

Safety Instructions

 1 − Keep the furnace area clear and free of combustible

material, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
liquids. If it is installed in an insulated area, the furnace
must be kept free of insulating material. Insulating ma-
terial may be combustible.

 2 −

DO NOT

 obstruct air flow to unit. Unit must receive an

unobstructed flow of combustion and ventilating air.
DO NOT block or obstruct air openings on the furnace
or air openings to the area in which the furnace is
installed. Take care to maintain established clear-
ances surrounding the furnace.

 3 −

DO NOT

 store chlorine or fluorine products near unit

or introduce these products into the combustion air.
These products can cause furnace corrosion.

 4 −

DO NOT draw return air from a room where this fur-
nace, or any other gas appliance (ie., a water heat-
er), is installed.

 When return air is drawn from a room,

a negative pressure is created in the room. If a gas ap-
pliance is operating in a room with negative pressure,
the flue products can be pulled back down the vent
pipe and into the room. This reverse flow of the flue
gas may result in incomplete combustion and the
formation of carbon monoxide gas. This toxic gas
might then be distributed throughout the house by the
furnace duct system.

WARNING

The blower door must be securely in place when the
blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which
could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into
the living space resulting in personal injury or death.

Your furnace is a gas appliance.

 It is critical that the gas

supplied to the unit be completely burned to avoid the pro-
duction of carbon monoxide gas. Complete combustion of
the gas requires, but is not limited to, correct gas pressure
and gas flow rate, adequate combustion air and proper
venting.

WARNING

Carbon monoxide gas is invisible, odorless, and
toxic.
