Association and the Canadian Gas Association for installation in
the United States and Canada. Refer to the appropriate codes,
along with this manual, for proper installation.
·
Use only the Type of gas approved for this furnace (see
Rating Plate
on unit). Overfiring will result in failure of heat
exchanger and cause dangerous operation. (Furnaces

Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a com-
mercially available soap solution made specifically for the
detection of leaks to check all connections, as specified in
“
Gas Supply and Piping”
of these instructions.
·
Always install furnace to operate within the furnace’s in-
tended temperature--rise range with a duct system which
has an external static pressure within the allowable rat-
ings, as specified in “
Technical Support Specifications”
of
these instructions.
·
When a furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space con-
taining the furnace, the return air shall also be handled by
duct(s) sealed to the furnace casing and terminating out-
side the space containing the furnace.

Safety Rules
Your unit is built to provide many years of safe and dependable
service providing it is properly installed and maintained. However,
abuse and/or improper use can shorten the life of the unit and
create hazards for you, the owner.
A. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recom-
mends that users of gas--burning appliances install carbon
monoxide detectors. There can be various sources of carbon
monoxide in a building or dwelling. The sources could be
gas--fired clothes dryers, gas cooking stoves, water heaters,
furnaces, gas--fired fireplaces, wood fireplaces, and several
other items. Carbon monoxide can cause serious bodily inju-
ry and/or death. Therefore, to help alert people of potentially
dangerous carbon monoxide levels, you should have carbon
monoxide detectors listed by a nationally recognized agency
(e.g. Underwriters Laboratories or International Approval
Services) installed and maintained in the building or dwelling
(see Note below).
B. There can be numerous sources of fire or smoke in a building
or dwelling. Fire or smoke can cause serious bodily injury,
death, and/or property damage. Therefore, in order to alert
people of potentially dangerous fire or smoke, you should
have fire extinguisher and smoke detectors listed by Under-
writers Laboratories installed and maintained in the building
or dwelling (see Note below).
Note:
The manufacturer of your furnace does not test any detec-
tors and makes no representations regarding any brand or
type of detector.
C. To ensure safe and efficient operation of your unit, you should
do the the following:
1.
Thoroughly read this manual and labels on the unit.
This
will help you understand how your unit operates and the haz-
ards involved with gas and electricity.
2.
Do not use this unit if any part has been under water.
Im-
mediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the unit
and to replace any part of the control system and any gas
control which has been under water.
3.
Never obstruct the vent grilles, or any ducts that provide
air to the unit.
Air must be provided for proper combustion
and ventilation of flue gases.
Carbon monoxide or “CO” is a colorless and odorless gas
produced when fuel is not burned completely or when the
flame does not receive sufficient oxygen.
Frozen Water Pipe Hazard
FROZEN AND BURST WATER PIPE HAZARD
FaiIure to do so may result in burst water pipes, serious
property damage and/or personal injury.
Furnace may shut down. Do not leave your home
unattended for long periods during freezing weather
without turning off water supply and draining water
pipes or otherwise protecting against the risk of frozen
pipes.
!
Your furnace is designed solely to provide a safe and comfortable
living environment. The furnace is NOT designed to ensure that
water pipes will not freeze. It is equipped with several safety de-
vices that are designed to turn the furnace off and prevent it from
restarting in the event of various potentially unsafe conditions.
If your furnace remains off for an extended time, the pipes in your
home could freeze and burst, resulting in serious water damage.
