13. These furnaces SHALL NOT be installed directly on
carpeting, tile, or any other combustible material other
than wood flooring. In downflow installations, factory
accessory floor base MUST be used when installed on
combustible materials and wood flooring. Special base
is not required when this furnace is installed on
manufacturer’s Coil Assembly is used. See
Table 1
for
clearance to combustible construction information.
Introduction
The 4
−
way multipoise Category IV condensing furnace is CSA
design
−
certified as a direct (2
−
pipe) furnace. (See
Figure 3
)
The furnace is factory
−
shipped for use with natural gas. The
furnace can be converted in the field for use with propane gas
when a factory
−
supplied conversion kit is used. Refer to the
furnace rating plate for conversion kit information.
This furnace is not approved for installation in mobile homes,
recreational vehicles, or outdoors.
This furnace is designed for minimum continuous return
−
air
temperature of 60
°
F (15
°
C) db or intermittent operation down to
55
°
F (15
°
C) db such as when used with a night setback
thermostat. Return
−
air temperature must not exceed 80
°
F
(27
°
C) db. Failure to follow these return
−
air temperature limits
may affect reliability of heat exchangers, motors, and controls
(See
Figure 1
)
The furnace should be sized to provide 100 percent of the
design heating load requirement plus any margin that occurs
because of furnace model size capacity increments. Heating
load estimates can be made using approved methods available
from Air Conditioning Contractors of America (Manual J);
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and
Air
−
Conditioning Engineers; or other approved engineering
methods. Excessive oversizing of the furnace could cause the
furnace and/or vent to fail prematurely.
For accessory installation details, refer to the applicable
instruction literature.
NOTE:
Remove all shipping materials, parts assemblies and
literature before operating the furnace.
