LOCATION
GENERAL
This multipoise furnace is shipped in packaged configuration.
Some assembly and modifications are required when used in any
of the four applications shown in Fig. 4.
This furnace must:
S be installed so the electrical components are protected
from water.
S not be installed directly on any combustible material
other than wood flooring for upflow applications.
Downflow installations require use of a factory−ap-
proved floor base or coil assembly when installed on
combustible materials or wood flooring (refer to
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS).
S be located as close to the chimney or vent and attached
to an air distribution system. Refer to Air Ducts section.
S be provided ample space for servicing and cleaning.
Always comply with minimum fire protection clear-
ances shown on the furnace clearance to combustible
label.
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury or death, and unit component damage.
Corrosive or contaminated air may cause failure of parts
containing flue gas, which could leak into the living space.
Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen
compounds, which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and
iodide. These elements can corrode heat exchangers and
shorten furnace life. Air contaminants are found in aerosol
sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air
fresheners, and other household products. Do not install
furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmosphere. Make
sure all combustion and circulating air requirements are met,
in addition to all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING
The following types of furnace installations may require
OUTDOOR AIR for combustion due to chemical exposures:
S Commercial buildings
S Buildings with indoor pools
S Laundry rooms
S Hobby or craft rooms, and
S Chemical storage areas
If air is exposed to the following substances, it should not be used
for combustion air, and outdoor air may be required for
combustion:
S Permanent wave solutions
S Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
S Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals
S Water softening chemicals
S De−icing salts or chemicals
S Carbon tetrachloride
S Halogen type refrigerants
S Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
S Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
S Hydrochloric acid
S Cements and glues
S Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
S Masonry acid washing materials
All fuel−burning equipment must be supplied with air for fuel
combustion. Sufficient air must be provided to avoid negative
pressure in the equipment room or space. A positive seal must be
made between the furnace cabinet and the return−air duct to
prevent pulling air from the burner area and from draft safeguard
opening.
