Location
The furnace should be as centralized as is practical
with respect to the air distribution system.
The furnace must be set on a level floor to enable
the condensate produced to drain properly. If the
floor may become wet or damp at times, the fur-
nace should be supported above the floor on a
concrete base sized approximately 1-1/2 larger
than the base of the furnace.
Do not install the furnace directly on carpeting, tile,
or combustible material other than wood flooring.
Do not install the furnace where the combustion air
is exposed to the following substances: permanent
wave solutions, chlorinated waxes or cleaners, chlo-
rine based swimming pool chemicals, water soften-
ing chemicals, de-icing salts or chemicals, carbon
tetrachloride, halogen type refrigerants, cleaning
solutions (such as perchloroethylene), printing inks,
paint removers, varnishes, hydrochloric acid, ce-
ments and glues, antistatic fabric softeners for
clothes dryers, and masonry acid washing materi-
als.
Exposure to contaminated combustion air will result
in safety and performance related problems.
When installed in a residential garage, the furnace
must be positioned so the burners and ignition source
are located not less than 18 inches (457 mm) above
the floor and protected from physical damage by
vehicles.
