All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel. 

The vent and air intake elbows must be kept away from bushes, 

shrubs or any vegetation that may restrict the flow of flue products. It must also 
be kept clear of any leaves, weeds or other combustible materials. Keep the vent 
hood clear of snow. Avoid locating the terminals in areas where standing water or 
condensate drippage may be a problem. 
 

: This CMA furnace has been designed to be installed as a direct vent 

system and must have its combustion air brought in from outside the conditioned 
space. The failure to install the vent/air intake system as specified in these 
instructions will void the heat exchanger warranty and may result in property 
damage,  personal injury or loss of life. 
 

Outside combustion air must not come from an area that is directly 

adjacent to a pool, hot tub or spa. Measures should be taken to prevent the entry 
of corrosive chemicals or vapors to the combustion and ventilation air supply. 
Such chemicals include but are not limited to chlorinated and/or fluorinated 
hydrocarbons such as found in refrigerants, aerosol propellants, dry cleaning 
fluids, degreasers and removers. Other harmful compounds may come from 
bleaches, air fresheners or mastics. Vapors from such products can form acid 
compounds when burned in a gas flame. Should acid compounds form in your 
furnace, it may reduce the life of the furnace.  
 

: Because of the potential of odorant fade, a gas leak may not be 

detected by smell. If this furnace is installed below grade, contact your gas 
supplier for a gas detector. 
 

: All gas piping must be leak tested methods approved by State, Local 

and National Codes including the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI-Z233.1 
(Latest Edition).  A final test for gas leakage must be made after purging the gas 
line. This test must be conducted with the unit operating and should include the 
furnace piping and gas valve. Never use an open flame to check for a gas leak. 

 

Care must be taken not to wet electronic components during leak test. 

Wetting the primary ignition module may damage its circuitry and cause a 
hazardous situation. Dry moisture from all leads and terminals if wetting occurs. 
Wait at least 24 hours for the circuit to fully dry before energizing the burner 
circuit. 
 

: The furnace and its individual gas shutoff valve must be disconnected 

from the gas supply during pressure testing of the gas supply system at 
pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG or 14.0" w.c. The furnace must be isolated from 
the gas supply by closing its manual shut off valve at test pressures equal to or 
greater than 1/2 PSIG or 14.0" w.c.
