SECTION II: GENERAL INFORMATION
INSPECTION
As soon as the furnace is received, it should be inspected for
possible damage during transit. If damage is evident, the extent
of the damage should be noted on the carrier’s freight bill. A
separate request for inspection by the carrier’s agent should be
made in writing. Also, before installation the furnace should be
This product must be installed in strict compliance with the
installation instructions and any applicable local, state, and
national codes including, but not limited to building,
electrical, and mechanical codes.
This furnace area must never be used as a broom closet or
for any other storage purposes, as a fire hazard may be
created. Never store items such as the following on, near or
in contact with the furnace.
1.
Spray or aerosol cans, rags, brooms, dust mops,
vacuum cleaners, or other cleaning tools.
2.
Soap powders, bleaches, waxes, or other cleaning
compounds.
3.
Plastic items or containers
4.
Gasoline, kerosene, cigarette lighter fluid, dry cleaning
fluids, or other volatile fluids.
5.
Paper bags, boxes, or other paper products.
1.
Turn off all gas lines before installing appliance.
2.
When leak testing the gas piping system; the appliance
gas control valve must be isolated from pressures
exceeding 14 inwc (1/2 psia) (3.5 kPa).
3.
Check the gas inlet pressure before the gas control valve
to insure the pressure is:
a.
7 inwc (1.744 kPa) for natural gas.
b.
11 inwc (2.74 kPa) for propane gas
4.
Purging of air from gas supply line should be performed
as described in ANSI Z223.1 - latest edition “National
Fuel Gas Code”, or in Canada in CAN/CGA-B149.1 or
B149.2 codes.
5.
Do not attempt to reuse any mechanical or electronic
ignition controllers which have been wet. Replace
defective controller.
6.
Servicing or repairing of this equipment must be
performed by a qualified service agency.
7.
Do not install unit outdoors.
HAZARD OF ASPHYXIATION:
Negative pressure
inside the closet with closet door closed and the
furnace blower operating cannot be more negative
than minus 0.05 inwc.
Any attempt to relocate or bypass a safety control or
replace safety controls with a control that is not
approved or incompatible may result in personal injury,
substantial property damage or death.
IMPORTANT
1.
To prevent premature heat exchanger failure, do
not locate any gas-fired appliances in area where
corrosive vapors are present in the atmosphere.
Refer to Section I COMBUSTION AIR
DO NOT
wet electronic components or wire
connections during the leak test. Wetting electronic
components may damage to the circuitry and corrode
the wire connections which can cause a hazardous
situation.
Dry any moisture from all leads and terminals if
wetting occurs. Wait at least 12 hours for the electronic
components and wire connections to fully dry before
energizing the system
.
Because of the potential of odorant fade, a gas leak may not
be detected by smell. It is recommended that black iron pipe
be used from the gas valve to outside the home in order to
prevent gas leaks inside or under the home. Copper tubing
and brass fittings (except tin lined) shall not be used if the
gas contains more than a trace (0.3 grains per 100 cubic ft.)
of hydrogen sulfide gas. Check with your gas supplier about
gas content and for a gas leak detector.
