INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Safety
Please adhere to the following warnings and cautions
when installing, adjusting, altering, servicing, or operating
the furnace.
WARNING
To prevent personal injury or death due to improper
installation, adjustment, alteration, service, or maintenance,
refer to this manual. For additional assistance or
information, consult a qualified installer, servicer, agency
or the gas supplier.
WARNING
To prevent possible property damage, personal injury or
death due to electrical shock, the furnace must be located
to protect the electrical components from water.
Charge (ESD) Precautions
NOTE: Discharge body’s static electricity before
touching unit. An electrostatic discharge can
adversely affect electrical components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation
and servicing to protect the integrated control module
from damage. By putting the furnace, the control, and the
person at the same electrostatic potential, these steps
will help avoid exposing the integrated control module to
electrostatic discharge. This procedure is applicable to both
installed and uninstalled (ungrounded) furnaces.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch
the integrated control module or any wire connected
to the control prior to discharging your body’s
electrostatic charge to ground.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnace near the control. Any tools held in a person’s
hand during grounding will be discharged.
3. Service integrated control module or connecting
wiring following the discharge process in Step 2.
Use caution not to recharge your body with static
electricity; (i.e., do not move or shuffle your feet, do
not touch ungrounded objects, etc.). If you come in
contact with an ungrounded object, repeat Step 2
before touching control or wires.
4. Discharge any static electricity from your body to
ground before removing a new control from its
container. Follow Steps 1 through 3 if installing the
control on a furnace. Return any old or new controls
to their containers before touching any ungrounded
object.
WARNING
Possible property damage, personal injury or death due to
fire, explosion, smoke, soot, condensation, electrical shock
or carbon monoxide may result from improper installation,
repair operation, or maintenance of this product.
WARNING
To prevent property damage, personal injury or death due to
fire, do not install the furnace in a mobile home, trailer, or
recreational vehicle.
To ensure proper furnace operation, install, operate,
maintain and service the furnace in accordance with the
installation, operation and service instructions, all local
building codes and ordinances. In their absence, follow
the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/
ANSI Z223.1), and/or CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes,
local plumbing or waste water codes, and other applicable
codes.
