Location and Installation
NOTE: Before beginning installation, consult proper local authorities regarding local codes governing all such applications and
installations.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE. Your furnace must be placed on a non-
combustible floor. Position the furnace as close to the chimney as possible. Air for combustion must be provided into the room where the
furnace is located. Allow air free access to the furnace for combustion and ventilation.
Garage installs are not recommended due to National fire codes. Consult with your local code and insurance company.
When installing an indoor furnace, the heat plenum coming off the top of the appliance can only go up or horizontal to connect into the
main supply duct. Never run the plenum down as this will create a heat buildup in the furnace causing the blower to short cycle and
damage the blower motor and will not be covered under warranty. This is not a down draft furance and not to be installed as one. If you
do not have a basement and the plenum cannot be put in the ceiling, then we recommend our outdoor Shelter Furnace.
RECOMMENDATION: Purchase Chimfex™ Dry Chemical Chimney Fire Extinguisher. These are readily available at most stove shops
and hardware stores. Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide monitors should be installed on all levels of your home. Having a fire
extinguisher in the furnace room or area is strongly recommended.
