NOTE - G32V series units must not be used as a
construction heater during any phase of construction.
Very low return air temperatures, harmful vapors and misĆ
placement of the filters will damage the unit and lower its
efficiency.

ets, attics, basements, garages and utility rooms in
the upflow position.

Select a location that allows for required clearances listed
on the unit rating plate. Also consider gas supply connecĆ
tions, electrical supply, vent connection and installation
and service clearances [24 inches (610 mm) at unit front].
The furnace must be level.

Return Air Opening Guidelines
WARNING
Improper installation of unit can result in personal
injury or death. Combustion and flue products
must never be allowed to enter the return air sysĆ
tem or air in the living space. Use sheet metal
screws and joint tape to seal return air system to
furnace.
In platform installations with furnace return, the
furnace should be sealed airtight to the return air
plenum. A door must never be used as a portion of
the return air duct system. The base must provide
a stable support and an airtight seal to the furnace.
Allow absolutely no sagging, cracks, gaps, etc.
For no reason should return and supply air duct
systems ever be connected to or from other heat-
ing devices such as a fireplace or stove, etc. Fire,
explosion, carbon monoxide poisoning, personal
injury and/or property damage could result.
WARNING
The blower access panel must be securely in place
when the blower and burners are operating. Gas
fumes, which could contain carbon monoxide, can
be drawn into living space resulting in personal inĆ
jury or death.
Return air can be brought in either side or at the bottom of
the unit. Scribe lines show the outline of each side and the
bottom return air opening.
