GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT: If furnace operation is
required during construction, and air
ladened with corrosive compounds
such as chlorine and fluorine are
present, provisions must be taken to
provide clean outdoor combustion and
ventilation air to the furnace.
Compounds of chlorine and fluorine,
when burned with combustion air, form
acids which will cause corrosion of a
heat exchanger. Some of these
compounds are found in paneling, dry
wall, tile adhesives, paints, stains and
varnishes, solvents and masonry
cleaning materials.
NOTE: This furnace is shipped with
heat exchanger support brackets
installed under the back of the heat
exchanger. These may be removed
before installation, but it is not
required.
LOCATION
THIS FURNACE IS NOT APPROVED
FOR INSTALLATION IN A MOBILE
HOME. DO NOT INSTALL THIS
FURNACE IN A MOBILE HOME.
INSTALLATION IN A MOBILE HOME
COULD CAUSE FIRE, PROPERTY
DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH.
IMPORTANT: This furnace is not
approved or recommended for
installation on its back, with access
doors facing upwards.
This furnace is suitable for installation
in buildings constructed on-site. This
heating unit should be located near the
chimney and should be centralized
with respect to the heat distribution
system as much as practicable. When
installed in a utility room, the door of
the room should be wide enough to
allow the largest part of the furnace to
enter, or to permit the replacement of
another appliance, such as a water
heater.
CLEARANCE –
ACCESSIBILITY
The design of forced air furnaces with
input ratings as listed in the tables on
the following pages are certified by
A.G.A. Laboratories and CGA for the
clearances to combustible materials
shown in inches.
See name/rating plate and clearance
label for specific model number and
clearance information.
Service clearance of at least 24 inches
is recommended in front of all furnaces.
ACCESSIBILITY CLEARANCES,
WHERE GREATER, MUST TAKE
PRECEDENCE OVER FIRE
PROTECTION CLEARANCES.
UPFLOW AND HORIZONTAL
INSTALLATION —
Certified for use on
combustible floor.
FURNACES MUST NOT BE
INSTALLED DIRECTLY ON
CARPETING, TILE OR OTHER
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL OTHER
THAN WOOD FLOORING.
INSTALLATION ON A
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL CAN
RESULT IN FIRE CAUSING
PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
UNIT DESIGN IS CERTIFIED FOR
INSTALLATION ON NON-
COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR. A SPECIAL
COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR SUB-BASE
IS REQUIRED WHEN INSTALLING
ON A COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR.
FAILURE TO INSTALL THE SUB-
BASE MAY RESULT IN FIRE,
PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH. THIS SPECIAL
BASE IS OFFERED AS AN
ACCESSORY FROM THE FACTORY.
SEE THE CLEARANCE LABEL
LOCATED INSIDE THE FURNACE
FOR THE APPROPRIATE MODEL
NUMBER.
THE SPECIAL BASE IS NOT
REQUIRED WHEN THE FURNACE IS
INSTALLED ON TOP OF AN AIR
CONDITIONING PLENUM.
A gas-fired furnace for installation in a
residential garage must be installed so
that the burner(s) and the ignition
source are located not less than 18
(
above the floor and the furnace is
located or protected to avoid physical
damage by vehicles.
UPFLOW UNIT DESIGN REQUIRES
A SOLID METAL BASE PLATE (SEE
TABLE ON PAGE 8 OR FURNACE
CLEARANCE LABEL FOR PART
NUMBER) MUST BE IN PLACE
WHEN THE FURNACE IS
INSTALLED WITH SIDE OR REAR
AIR RETURN DUCTS. FAILURE TO
INSTALL A BASE PLATE COULD
CAUSE PRODUCTS OF
COMBUSTION TO BE CIRCULATED
INTO THE LIVING SPACE AND
CREATE POTENTIALLY
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS,
INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING.
