Setting Equipment
Do not install the furnace on its front or its back. Do not
connect the return air ducts to the back of the furnace.
Doing so will adversely affect the operation of the safety
control devices, which could result in personal injury or
death.
WARNING
The gas furnace can be installed as shipped in either the
upflow position or the horizontal position.
Select a location that allows for the required clearances
that are listed on the unit nameplate. Also consider gas
supply connections, electrical supply, vent connection, and
installation and service clearances [24 inches (610 mm) at
unit front]. The unit must be level.
NOTE:
Units with 1/2 hp and 3/4 hp blower motors are
equipped with three flexible legs and one rigid leg. See
Figure 6. The rigid leg is equipped with a shipping bolt and
a flat white plastic washer (rather than the rubber mounting
grommet used with a flexible mounting leg).
The bolt and
washer must be removed before the furnace is placed
into operation.
After the bolt and washer have been
removed, the rigid leg will not touch the blower housing.
