5. Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially
available soap solution made specifically for the detection of leaks
to check all connections, as specified in the “Gas Piping” section.
6. Always install furnace to operate within the furnace’s intended
temperature-rise range with a duct system which has an external
static pressure within the allowable range, as specified in the
“Start-Up, Adjustments, and Safety Check” section. See furnace
rating plate.
7. When a furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air circulated
by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace, the
return air shall also be handled by duct(s) sealed to the furnace
casing and terminating outside the space containing the furnace.
See “Air Ducts” section.
8. A gas-fired furnace for installation in a residential garage must be
installed as specified in the warning box in the “Location” section.
9. The furnace may be used for construction heat provided that the
furnace installation and operation complies with the first
CAUTION in the LOCATION section of these instructions.
10. These Multipoise Gas-Fired Furnaces are CSA (formerly A.G.A.
and C.G.A.) design-certified for use with natural and propane gases
(see furnace rating plate) and for installation in alcoves, attics,
basements, closets, utility rooms, crawlspaces, and garages. The
furnace is factory-shipped for use with natural gas. A CSA (A.G.A.
and C.G.A.) listed accessory gas conversion kit is required to
convert furnace for use with propane gas.
11. See Fig. 2 for required clearances to combustible construction.
12. Maintain a 1-in. (25 mm) clearance from combustible materials to
supply air ductwork for a distance of 36 in. (914 mm) horizontally
from the furnace. See NFPA 90B or local code for further
requirements.
13. These furnaces SHALL NOT be installed directly on carpeting, tile,
or any other combustible material other than wood flooring. In
downflow installations, factory accessory floor base MUST be
used when installed on combustible materials and wood flooring.
Special base is not required when this furnace is installed on
manufacturer’s cased evaporator coils or when manufacturer’s
evaporator coil casing is used, see Fig. 2 for clearance to
combustible construction information.

This 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.
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. 4).
For accessory installation details, refer to the applicable instruction
literature.
NOTE: Remove all shipping brackets and materials before operating the
furnace.

WARNING
!
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death
and/or property damage.
Do not install the furnace on its back or hang furnace with control
compartment facing downward. Safety control operation will be
adversely affected. Never connect return-air ducts to the back of the
furnace. (See Fig. 5).
