Rule 7.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a
commercial soap solution made specifically for leak
detection to check all connections.
Rule 8.
Completely seal supply and retu rn air ducts to
furnace casing. Duct system must run to an area outside
furnace room or closet. Seal duct work wherever it runs
through walls, ceilings or floors of fu rnace room or closet.
SECTION 2. MEETING CODES
This furnace complies with American National Standard
and National Standard of Canada for Gas Fired Central
Furnaces, ANSI Z21.47
?
CAN/CGA-2.3. It is certified for
operation with either natural gas or propane (LP) gas for
indoor installation in a building cons tructed on site. It meets
the requirement for a 100% shut-off gas control system.
Before installing this fu rnace, make sure you know all
applicable codes. Be sure to consult local authorities
having jurisdiction over furnaces for information on
electrical wiring, gas piping and venting. The installation of
this furnace must conform with local building codes or in the
absence of local codes, with ANSI Z223.1, National Fuel
Gas Code or CAN/CGA B149, Canadian Installation Codes.
Electrical wiring must confo rm with local building codes or
in the absence of local codes, with the current National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or current Canadian
Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
SECTION 3. DETERMINING BEST
FURNACE LOCATION
You may install this fu rnace in the downflow position i n an
alcove, attic, basement, closet, garage or utility room. See
Figure 1.
You may install this furnace in the horizontal air-left or
horizontal air-right position in an alcove, attic, basement,
garage or utility room. See Figure 1.
Figure 1. Furnace Installation Positions.
CAUTION
: Do not install fu rnace in an area subject to
freezing temperatures. Doing so could cause condensate
to freeze.
This furnace operates best when return-air temperature is
between 55°F and 80°F. Do not install furnace in a location
subject to continuous higher or lower temperatures.
Continuous operation outside of this range may shorten
furnace life.
WARNING
: Do not install furnace on its back or
front. Doing so could cause heat exchanger blockage and
damage to heat exchanger.
Select a location that meets all requirements described in
this manual for the following:
??
Safety
??
Minimum Clearances
??
Combustion and Ventilation Air
??
Venting
??
Duct System
??
Gas Piping
??
Electrical Wiring
Locate furnace as near to the center of the air distribution
system as possible.
Provide ample space for servicing and cleaning. Location
must allow 30 inches minimum front clearance for service.
WARNING
: Some insulating materials are
combustible. When a furnace is installed in an attic or other
insulated space, keep all insulating materials at least 12
inches away from fu rnace and combustion air inlet. Failure
to do so could cause a fire.
You may install furnace on non-combustible flooring or for
horizontal installations on wood flooring. You may also
install furnace on wood flooring in the downflow position
when using a combustible floor base, available from the
manufacturer. See parts list.
WARNING: Do not install furnace on carpeting,
tile or other combustible material except wood flooring.
Doing so could cause a fire.
Install furnace so all electrical components are protected
from water.
LEVELING FURNACE
Furnace must be installed level for proper condensate
drainage.
In DOWNFLOW POSITION, furnace must be level or tilted
to the front no more than 1/4 inch. Furnace must also be
level from side to side within 1/4 inch. See Figure 2.
