Ifyou purchaseda multi --position furnace,it can be installed hori-
zontallyin an attic, basement,crawlspace,alcove, or suspended
from a ceiling in a basement or utility room in either a right or left
airflow position. (see Figure 4)
Horizontally installed furnaces may be vented out the top of the
unitoroutthesidefacingup.See“Sideventing”forinstructionsto
rotate the vent to the side.
The minimum clearances to combustibles MUST be maintained
between the furnace and adjacent construction, as shown in
Figure 1 and Figure 2. ONLYthecornerofthecabinet is allowed
to contact the rafters as shown in Figure 4. All other clearances
MUST be observed as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

If you purchased a Multi--position furnace (*8MP) it may be
installed in a downflow configuration, (see Figure 5). The mini-
mumclearancestocombustionconstructionMUSTbemaintained
between the furnace and adjacent construction, as shown in
Figure 1 and Figure 2.
In addition to clearances in Figure 1 and Figure 2, clearance for
the vent pipe must be considered.

work and Filter” (Downflow Section). The outlet flange must be
bent flat for downflow installation.
When installing a four--position furnace in the downflow position
(not the *8DNLfurnace),the logo is to be repositioned s o that it is
rightside--up as follows:

b. After inserting each thumbscrew into the proper hole in
the blower door, push a new metal retainer washer onto
each thumbscrew as far as it will go.
