INTRODUCTION
The 4 --way multipoise Category I fan-- assisted furnace is CSA
(formerly A.G.A. and C.G.A.) design--certified. A Category I
fan--assisted furnace is an appliance equipped with an integral
mechanical means to either draw or force products of combustion
through the combustion chamber and/or heat exchanger. The
furnace is factory-- shipped for use with natural gas. This furnace
is not approved for installation in mobile homes, recreational
vehicles, or outdoors.

Fig. 2 -- Return Air Temperatur e
This furnace is designed for minimum continuous return-- air
temperature of 60_F(15_C) db or intermittent operation down to
55_F(13_C)db such as when used with a night setback
thermostat. Return--air temperature must not exceed 80_F(27_C)
db. Failure to follow these return--air temperature limits may
affect reliability of heat exchangers, motors, and controls. (See
Fig. 2.)
For accessory installation details, refer to the applicable
instruction literature.
NOTE: Remove all shipping brackets and materials before
operating the furnace.
CODES AND STANDARDS
Follow all national and local codes and standards in addition
to these instructions. The installation must comply with
regulations of the serving gas supplier, local building, heating,
plumbing, and other codes. In absence of local codes, the
installation must comply with the national codes listed below and
all authorities having jurisdiction.
In the United States, follow all codes and standards for the
following:

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
PRECAUTIONS PROCEDURE
FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit component
damage.
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components.
Take precautions during furnace installation and servicing
to protect the furnace electronic control. Precautions will
prevent electrostatic discharges from personnel and hand
tools which are held during the procedure. These
precautions will help to avoid exposing the control to
electrostatic discharge by putting the furnace, the control,
and the person at the same electrostatic potential.
CAUTION
!
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Multiple disconnects
may be required. DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL OR
ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL PRIOR
TO DISCHARGING YOUR BODY’S
ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE TO GROUND.
2. Firmly touch the clean, unpainted, metal surface of the fur-
nace chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in a
person’s hand during grounding will be satisfactorily dis-
charged.
3. After touching the chassis, you may proceed to service the
control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing to
recharge your body with static electricity (for example;
DO NOT move or shuffle your feet, do not touch un-
grounded objects, etc.).
4. If you touch ungrounded objects (and recharge your body
with static electricity), firmly touch a clean, unpainted
metal surface of the furnace again before touching control
or wires.
5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled (ungroun-
ded) furnaces.
6. Before removing a new control from its container, dis-
charge your body’s electrostatic charge to ground to pro-
tect the control from damage. If the control is to be in-
stalled in a furnace, follow items 1 through 4 before
bringing the control or yourself in contact with the fur-
nace. Put all used and new controls into containers before
touching ungrounded objects.
7. An ESD service kit (available from commercial sources)
mayalsobeusedtopreventESDdamage.
