II. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - READ BEFORE START OF INSTALLATION
1. The heating output capacity of the furnace proposed for installation should be based on a heat loss
calculation made according to the manuals provided by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America
(ACCA) or the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers, Inc.
(ASHRAE).
2. All local codes and/or regulations take precedence over the instructions in this manual and should be
followed accordingly. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform with these instructions and
regulations of the National Fire Protection Association, and to the provisions of the National Electrical
Code (ANSI/NFPA 70-1999 or latest edition).
3. The installed furnace must be level and positioned in a central location with respect to outlet registers.
It should be located near the chimney to minimize any horizontal run of flue pipe, which may be required.
4. A furnace installed in a residential garage must be installed so the burner and ignition source are
located higher than 18 inches above the floor. The furnace must also be located or protected to avoid
physical damage by vehicles.
5. It is recommended that a commercially available CO alarm be installed in conjunction with any fossil
fuel burning appliance. The CO alarm shall be installed according to the alarm manufacturer’s installation
instructions and be listed in accordance with the latest edition of the UL Standard for Single and Multiple
Station Carbon Monoxide Alarms, UL 2034, or the CSA International Standard, Residential Carbon
Monoxide Alarming Devises, CSA 6.19.
WARNING:
This furnace is not to be used as a construction heater.
