115 VOLT L INE C ONNECTIONS
Before proceeding with electrical connections, ensure that the sup-
ply voltage, frequency, and phase correspond to that specified on
the unit rating plate. Power supply to the furnace must be NEC
Class 1, and must comply with all applicable codes. The furnace
must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or,
in their absence, with the latest edition of The National Electric
Code, ANSI NFPA 70 and/or The Canadian Electric Code CSA C22.1.
Use a separate fused branch electrical circuit containing properly
sized wire, and fuse or circuit breaker. The fuse or circuit breaker
must be sized in accordance with the maximum overcurrent pro-
tection specified on the unit rating plate. An electrical disconnect
must be provided at the furnace location.
Line voltage wiring must enter into the junction box provided with
the furnace.
NOTE: Line polarity must be observed when making field
connections.
FOSSIL FUEL APPLICATIONS
This furnace can be used in conjunction with a heat pump in a
fossil fuel application. A fossil fuel application refers to a com-
bined gas furnace and heat pump installation which uses an out-
door temperature sensor to determine the most cost efficient means
of heating heat pump or gas furnace.
A heat pump thermostat with two stages of heat is required to
properly use a furnace in conjunction with a heat pump. Refer to
the fossil fuel kit installation instructions for additional thermo-
stat requirements.
Strictly follow the wiring guidelines in the fossil fuel kit installa-
tion instructions. All furnace connections must be made to the
furnace integrated control module and the FURNACE terminal strip
on the fossil fuel control board.

Line voltage connections can be made through either the right or
left side panel. The furnace is shipped configured for a right side
electrical connection. To make electrical connections through the
opposite side of the furnace, the junction box must be relocated to
the left side prior to making electrical connections. To relocate
the junction box, perform the following steps.

WARNING
1. Remove both doors from the furnace.
2. Remove and save the screws holding the junction box to
the right side of the furnace.
The previous liner was properly sized and installed, and
suffered from condensation damage.
It is required by your local building codes.
Even if none of those three conditions exist which require addi-
tional liner insulation, the installer may wish to consider it if:
The local climate is very cold.
The chimney is very tall.
The vent connectors used are very long or have a large
number of elbows.
Local experience indicates that flexible liners installed
without insulation are likely to have condensation
problems.
Insulation must be selected and installed in accordance with the
liner manufacturers instructions.
Finally, cap the chimney and terminate the liner in accordance
with the liner manufacturers instructions.

WARNING
WIRING H ARNESS
The wiring harness is an integral part of this furnace. Field alter-
ation to comply with electrical codes should not be required. Wires
are color coded for identification purposes. Refer to the wiring
diagram for wire routings. If any of the original wire as supplied
with the furnace must be replaced, it must be replaced with wiring
material having a temperature rating of at least 105° C. Any re-
placement wiring must be a copper conductor.
