115-V Wiring 
Verify that the voltage, frequency, and phase correspond to that specified
on  unit  rating  plate. Also,  check  to  be  sure  that  service  provided  by
utility is  sufficient to handle load imposed by this equipment. Refer to
rating plate or Table 6 for equipment electrical specifications. 
U.S. Installations:  Make all  electrical  connections  in  accordance  with
National  Electrical  Code  (NEC)  NFPA  70  and  any  local  codes  or
ordinances that might apply. 
Use a separate, fused branch electrical circuit with a properly sized fuse
or  circuit  breaker  for  this  furnace.  See  Table 6  for  wire  size  and  fuse
specifications. A readily accessible means of electrical disconnect must
be located within sight of the furnace.
NOTE: Proper polarity must be maintained for 115-v wiring. If polarity
is  incorrect,  control  LED  status  indicator  light  will  flash  rapidly  and
furnace will NOT operate. 
J-BOX RELOCATION 
NOTE:  If  factory  location  of  J-Box  is  acceptable,  go  to  next  section
(ELECTRICAL CONNECTION to J-Box).
NOTE: On 14-in. (356 mm) wide casing models, the J-Box shall not be
relocated  to  other  side  of  furnace  casing  when the  vent  pipe  is routed
within the casing.
1. Remove and save two screws holding J-Box. (See Fig. 26).
NOTE: The J-Box cover need not be removed from the J-Box in order
to move the J-Box. Do NOT remove green ground screw inside J-Box.
(See Fig. 26).
2. Cut wire tie on loop in furnace wires attached to J-Box.
3. Move J-Box to desired location.
4. Fasten J-Box to casing with the two screws removed in Step 1.
5. Route J-Box wires within furnace away from sharp edges, rotating
parts and hot surfaces.

CAUTION
!
FURNACE MAY NOT OPERATE HAZARD
Failure  to  follow  this  caution  may  result  in  intermittent  furnace
operation. 
Furnace control must be grounded for proper operation or else control
will lock out. Control must remain grounded through green/yellow wire
routed to gas valve and manifold bracket screw. 
WARNING
!
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death, or
property damage. 
Do not connect aluminum wire between disconnect switch and furnace.
Use only copper wire. (See Fig. 25).
