• Furnaces for upflow installation on combustible flooring shall not
be installed directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible material
other than wood flooring.
• Check the rating plate and power supply to be sure that the electri-
cal characteristics match. All models use nominal 115 VAC, 1
Phase, 60-Hz power supply. DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLI-
ANCE TO A 50-Hz POWER SUPPLY OR A VOLTAGE ABOVE
130 VOLTS.
• Furnace shall be installed so the electrical components are pro-
tected from water.
• Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due
to the electrical components and the gas fired components. Only
trained and qualified personnel should install, repair, or service
gas heating equipment. Untrained service personnel can perform
basic maintenance functions such as cleaning and replacing the
air filters. When working on heating equipment, observe precau-
tions in the manuals and on the labels attached to the unit and
other safety precautions that may apply.
COMBUSTION AIR QUALITY
(LIST OF CONTAMINANTS)
The furnace requires
OUTDOOR AIR
for combustion when the furnace
is located in any of the following environments.
• Buildings with indoor pools
• Chemical exposure
• Commercial buildings
• Furnaces installed in hobby or craft rooms
• Furnaces installed in laundry rooms
• Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas
• Restricted Environments
The furnace requires
OUTDOOR AIR
for combustion when the furnace
is located in an area where the furnace is being exposed to the follow-
ing substances and / or chemicals.
• Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
• Carbon tetrachloride
• Cements and glues
• Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals
• Chlorinated waxes and cleaners

These instructions cover minimum requirements and conform to exist-
ing national standards and safety codes. In some instances these
instructions exceed certain local codes and ordinances, especially
those who have not kept up with changing residential and non-HUD
modular home construction practices. These instructions are required
