DOWNFLOW UNITS
1. Position the unit to minimize long
runs of duct or runs of duct with
many turns and elbows.
2. If summer air conditioning is
desired, position the indoor coil
on the supply-air side of the unit.
Insure that no air can bypass this
coil.
3. If installing on a combustible floor
and not using an air
conditioning plenum, install the
special non-combustible floor
base. See Table 1 and Figure 9.
THE DOWNFLOW FURNACE
DESIGN IS CERTIFIED FOR
INSTALLATION ON A NON-
COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR. USE THE
SPECIAL BASE SPECIFIED ON
THE FURNACE CLEARANCE
LABEL. FAILURE TO INSTALL THE
SPECIAL BASE MAY RESULT IN
FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE,
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
THIS SPECIAL BASE IS SHIPPED
FROM THE FACTORY AS AN
ACCESSORY.
4. Connect the furnace to the
supply air plenum.
5. Connect the return air ducting to
the return air opening at the top
of the unit. Make the connection
air tight to prevent entraining
combustion gases from an
adjacent fuel-burning appliance.
NOTE: In downflow
configuration, return air cut out is
not permitted.
6. Be sure to have adequate
space for the unit filter.
NOTE: DO NOT take return air
from bathrooms, kitchens, furnace
rooms, garages, utility or laundry
rooms, or cold areas.
