Installation
Setting Equipment
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
Blower access panel must be securely in place when
blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which
could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into
living space resulting in personal injury or death.
WARNING
Upflow Applications
The gas furnaces can be installed as shipped in the upflow
position. Refer to Figure 12 for clearances. 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, condensate trap and
drain connections, and installation and service clearances
[24 inches (610 mm) at unit front]. The unit must be level
from side to side. Tilt the unit slightly (maximum 1/2 in.
from level) from back to front to aid in the draining of the
heat exchanger. See Figure 13.
Allow for clearances to combustible materials as indicated
on the unit nameplate.

and vent pipe installation.
‡ For installations on a combustible floor, do not install
the furnace directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible
materials other than wood flooring.
