I. LOCATION
A. General
CAUTION: Do not install furnace in a corrosive or
contaminated atmosphere. Make sure all combustion and
circulating air requirements are followed, in addition to
all local codes and ordinances.
CAUTION: Do not use this furnace during construction
when adhesives, sealers, and/or new carpets are being
installed. If the furnace is required during construction,
use clean outside air for combustion and ventilation.
Compounds of chlorine and fluorine when burned with
combustion air form acids which cause corrosion of the
heat exchangers and metal vent system. Some of these
compounds are found in paneling and dry wall adhesives,
paints, thinners, masonry cleaning materials, and many
other solvents commonly used in the construction process.
Excessive exposure to contaminated combustion air will
result in safety and performance related problems.
18-IN. MINIMUM
TO BURNERS
A93044
WARNING: When furnace is installed in a residential
garage, it must be installed so that burners and ignition
sources are located a minimum of 18 in. above floor. The
furnace must be located or protected to avoid physical
damage by vehicles. When furnace is installed in a public
garage, airplane hangar, or other building having a
hazardous atmosphere, unit must be installed in accordance with requirements of National Fire Protection
Association, Inc.
II. AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
Provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air must be
provided in accordance with Section 5.3 of the NFGC, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation, or applicable provisions of the local
building codes.
Canadian installations must be installed in accordance with NSCNGPIC and all authorities having jurisdiction.
CAUTION: Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen compounds, which include fluoride,
chloride, bromide, and iodide. These elements are found
in aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents,
salts, air fresheners, and other household products.
This furnace must be installed so the electrical components are
protected from water.
Locate the furnace as close to the chimney/vent and as near the
center of the air distribution system as possible. The furnace
should be installed as level as possible.
Provide ample space for servicing and cleaning. Always comply
with the minimum fire protection clearances shown on the unit
rating plate. This furnace shall not be installed directly on
carpeting, tile, or any combustible material other than wood
flooring. The furnace may be installed on combustible flooring
when installed with the accessory downflow subbase, which is
available from your distributor or branch when required.
B. Location Relative to Cooling Equipment
The cooling coil must be installed parallel with or on the
downstream side of the furnace to avoid condensation in the heat
exchangers. When installed parallel with a furnace, dampers or
other means used to control the flow of air must prevent chilled air
from entering the unit. If the dampers are manually operated, they
must be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit
unless the damper is in the full-heat or full-cool position.
CAUTION: The operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation fans, clothes dryers, or fireplaces could create a
NEGATIVE PRESSURE CONDITION at the furnace.
Make-up air MUST be provided for the ventilation
devices, in addition to that required by the furnace.
All fuel-burning equipment must be supplied with air for combustion of the fuel. Sufficient air MUST be provided to ensure there
will not be a negative pressure in the equipment room or space. In
addition, a positive seal MUST be made between the furnace
cabinet and the return-air duct to avoid pulling air from the burner
area and blocked vent safeguard opening.
The requirements for combustion and ventilation air depend upon
whether the furnace is located in an unconfined or confined space.
A. Unconfined Space
An unconfined space must have at least 50 cu ft for each 1000
Btuh of input for all the appliances (such as furnaces, clothes
dryer, water heaters, etc.) in the space.
If the unconfined space is of unusually tight construction, air for
combustion and ventilation MUST come from either the outdoors
or spaces freely communicating with the outdoors. Combustion
—4—
and ventilation openings must be sized the same as for a confined
space as defined below. Return air must not be taken from the
room unless an equal or greater amount of air is supplied to the
room.

all vent connectors in the confined space. (See Fig. 4 and
Table 2.) Equipment clearances to the structure shall be
at least 1 in. from the sides and back and 6 in. from the
front of the appliances.
When ducts are used, they must be of the same cross-sectional area
as the free area of the openings to which they connect. The
minimum dimension of ducts must not be less than 3 in. (See Fig.
4.)
→AIR DUCTS
WARNING: Never connect return-air ducts to the back
of the furnace. A failure to follow this warning can cause
a fire, personal injury, or death.
→
B. Confined Space
A confined space is defined as a space whose volume is less than
50 cu ft per 1000 Btuh of total input ratings of all appliances
installed in that space. A confined space MUST have provisions
for supplying air for combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue
gases using 1 of the following methods. (See Fig. 3, 4, and Table
2.)
NOTE: In determining free area of an opening, the blocking
effect of louvers, grilles, and screens must be considered. If free
area of louver or grille design is unknown, assume that wood
louvers have a 20 percent free area and metal louvers or grilles
have a 60 percent free area. Screens, when used, must not be
smaller than 1/4-in. mesh. Louvers and grilles must be constructed
so they cannot be closed.
The size of the openings depends upon whether air comes from
outside of the structure or an unconfined space inside the structure.
1. All air from inside the structure requires 2 openings (for
structures not usually tight):
a. Each opening MUST have at least 1 sq in. of free area
per 1000 Btuh of total input for all equipment within the
confined space, but not less than 100 sq in. per opening.
(See Fig. 3 and Table 2.) The minimum dimension of air
openings shall not be less than 3 in.
b. If building is constructed unusually tight, a permanent
opening directly communicating with the outdoors shall
be provided. See item 2 below.
c. If furnace is installed on a raised platform to provide a
return-air plenum, and return air is taken directly from
hallway or space adjacent to furnace, all air for combustion must come from outdoors.
2. Air from outside the structure requires 1 of the following
methods:
a. If combustion air is taken from outdoors through 2
vertical ducts, the openings and ducts MUST have at
least 1 sq in. of free area per 4000 Btuh of total input for
all equipment within the confined space. (See Fig. 4 and
Table 2.)
b. If combustion air is taken from outdoors through 2
horizontal ducts, the openings and ducts MUST have at
least 1 sq in. of free area per 2000 Btuh of total input for
all equipment within the confined space. (See Fig. 4 and
Table 2.)
c. If combustion air is taken from outdoors through a single
opening or duct (horizontal or vertical) commencing
within 12 in. of the top of the confined space, opening
and duct MUST have at least 1 sq in. of free area per
3000 Btuh of the total input for all equipment within the
confined space and not less than the sum of the areas of
I. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
The duct system should be designed and sized according to
accepted national standards such as those published by: Air
Conditioning Contractors Association (ACCA), Sheet Metal and
Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (SMACNA) or
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE). Or consult factory The Air Systems DesignGuidelines reference tables available from your local distributor.
The duct system should be sized to handle the required system
design CFM at the design static pressure.
When a furnace is installed so that the supply ducts carry air to
areas outside the space containing the furnace, the return air must
also be handled by a duct(s) sealed to the furnace casing and
terminating outside the space containing the furnace.
Secure ductwork with proper fasteners for type of ductwork used.
Seal supply- and return-air duct connections to furnace with code
approved tape or duct sealer.
Flexible connections should be used between ductwork and
furnace to prevent transmission of vibration. Ductwork passing
through unconditioned space should be insulated to enhance
system performance. When air conditioning is used, a vapor
barrier is recommended.
Maintain a 1-in. clearance from combustible materials to supply air
ductwork for a distance of 36 in. horizontally from the furnace. See
NFPA 90B or local code for further requirements.
II. DUCTWORK ACOUSTICAL TREATMENT
Metal duct systems that do not have a 90 degree elbow and 10 ft
of main duct to the first branch take-off may require internal
acoustical lining. As an alternative, fibrous ductwork may be used
if constructed and installed in accordance with the latest edition of
SMACNA construction standard on fibrous glass ducts. Both
acoustical lining and fibrous ductwork shall comply with NFPA
90B as tested by UL Standard 181 for Class 1 Rigid air ducts.
III. SUPPLY AIR CONNECTIONS
A. Downflow Furnaces
Connect supply-air duct to supply-air opening (outlet) on furnace.
(See Fig. 1.) The supply-air duct attachment must ONLY be
connected to furnace supply/outlet or air conditioning coil casing
(when used), when installed on non-combustible material. When
installed on combustible material, supply-air duct attachment must
ONLY be connected to an accessory subbase or factory approved
air conditioning coil casing. DO NOT cut main furnace casing to
attach supply side air duct, humidifier, or other accessories. All
accessories MUST be connected external to furnace main casing.
B. Horizontal Furnaces
Connect supply-air duct to supply-air (outlet) opening on furnace.
(See Fig. 1.) The supply-air duct attachment must ONLY be
connected to furnace supply/outlet or air conditioning coil casing
(when used). DO NOT cut main furnace casing to attach supply
side air duct, humidifier, or other accessories. All accessories
MUST be connected external to furnace main casing.

IX. GAS PIPING
Gas piping must be installed in accordance with national and local
codes. Refer to the current edition of the NFGC.
Canadian installations must be installed in accordance with NSCNGPIC and all authorities having jurisdiction.
Refer to Table 5 for recommended gas pipe sizing. Risers should
be used to connect to the furnace and to the meter.
CAUTION: If a flexible connector is required or allowed by the authority having jurisdiction, black iron
pipe shall be installed at the gas valve and extend a
minimum of 2 in. outside the furnace casing.
WARNING: Use the proper length of pipes to avoid
stress on the gas control manifold. Failure to follow this
warning could result in a gas leak, causing fire, explosion,
personal injury, or death.
CAUTION: Connect the gas pipe to the furnace using a
backup wrench to avoid damaging gas controls.
* Cubic ft of gas per hr for gas pressures of 0.5 psig (14-in. wc) or less, and a
pressure drop of 0.5-in. wc (based on a 0.60 specific gravity gas). Ref: Table
10-2 NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1-1996.

chamber. Never use matches, candles, flame, or other
sources of ignition to check for gas leakage. Use a
soap-and-water solution to check for gas leaks. Failure to
follow this warning could result in fire, explosion, personal injury, or death.
Joint compounds (pipe dope) should be applied sparingly and only
to the male threads of the joints. This pipe dope must be resistant
to the action of propane gas.
An accessible manual shutoff valve MUST be installed upstream
of the furnace gas controls and within 72 in. of the furnace. A
1/8-in. NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test gage connection,
MUST be installed immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the furnace and downstream of the manual shutoff
valve. Place a ground joint union between the gas control manifold
and the manual shutoff.
Install a sediment trap in the riser leading to the furnace. The trap
can be installed by connecting a tee to the riser leading from the
furnace. Connect a capped nipple into the lower end of the tee. The
capped nipple should extend below the level of the gas controls.
(See Fig. 13.)
A88486
Piping should be pressure tested in accordance with local and
national plumbing and gas codes before the furnace has been
attached. If the pressure exceeds 0.5 psig (14-in. wc), the gas
supply pipe must be disconnected from the furnace and capped
before the pressure test. If the test pressure is equal to or less than
0.5 psig (14-in. wc), turn off electric shutoff switch located on the
gas valve before the test. It is recommended that the ground joint
union be loosened before pressure testing.
After all connections have been made, purge the lines and check
for gas leakage with regulated gas supply pressure.

1. Heating mode
When the thermostat "calls for heat," R-W circuit closes.
The furnace control performs a self-check, verifies the
pressure switch contacts are open, and starts the inducer
motor.
a. Prepurge period—As the inducer motor comes up to
speed, the pressure switch contacts close to begin a
15-sec prepurge period.
b. Igniter warm-up—At the end of the prepurge period, the
igniter is energized for a 17-sec igniter warm-up period.
c. Ignition sequence—When the igniter warm-up period is
completed, the gas valve opens, permitting gas flow to
the burners where it is ignited. After 5 sec, the igniter is
de-energized and a 2-sec flame-sensing period begins.
d. HUM terminal is energized with the gas valve. See
Accessories in Electrical Connections section.
e. Flame-sensing—When burner flame is sensed, the con-
trol begins the blower on delay period and continues
holding the gas valve open. If burner flame is not sensed,
the control closes the gas valve and repeats the ignition
cycle.
NOTE: Ignition sequence will repeat 3 additional times before a
lockout occurs. Lockout automatically resets after 3 hrs, or can be
manually reset by turning 115v off (not at thermostat) for 3 sec
minimum, then on again.
→
→
f. Blower on delay—Forty-five sec after burner flame is
proven, the blower motor is energized on heating speed.
Simultaneously, the humidifier and electronic air cleaner
terminals (HUM and C
and EAC-2 for electronic air cleaner) are energized.
g. Blower off delay—When the thermostat is satisfied, the
circuit between R and W is broken, de-energizing the gas
valve and stopping gas flow to the burners. The blower
motor, and EAC remain energized for 135 sec.
h. Post-purge—The inducer motor remains energized 5 sec
after the burners are extinguished.
2. Cooling mode
When the thermostat "calls for cooling," R-G and R-Y
circuits close. The R-Y circuit starts the outdoor condensing
unit and combined R-Y and R-G circuits start the furnace
blower motor on cooling speed. The EAC-1 terminal is
energized with 115v whenever the blower is operating on
cooling speed.
When the thermostat is satisfied, R-G and R-Y circuits are
broken. Furnace blower and EAC continue operating on
cooling speed for an additional 90 sec.
3. Continuous blower mode
NOTE: EAC-1 terminal is energized with 115v whenever blower
is operating.
When the R-G circuit is made, the blower motor operates on
heating speed. During a call for heat, the blower stops,
allowing the furnace heat exchangers to heat up more
quickly, then restarts at the end of the 45-sec blower on
delay period.
The blower reverts to continuous operation after the heating
cycle is completed.
When the thermostat "calls for cooling," the blower operates on cooling speed. When the thermostat is satisfied, the
blower operates an additional 90 sec before reverting back
to continuous operation on heating speed.
OM-24V for humidifier, EAC-1
4. Heat pump mode
When installed with a heat pump, the furnace control
automatically changes the timing sequence to avoid long
blower off time during demand defrost cycles. When the
W-Y or W-Y-G thermostat inputs are received at the same
time, the control changes the blower to heating speed or
starts the blower if it was off, and begins a heating cycle.
The blower remains on until the end of the prepurge period,
then shuts off until the end of the ignition warm up and trial
for ignition periods (a total of 24 sec). The blower then
comes back on at heating speed.
When the W input signal disappears, the control begins the
normal inducer post-purge period and the blower changes to
cooling speed after a 1-sec delay. If the W-Y-G signals
disappear at the same time, the blower remains on for the
selected heating blower off delay period and the inducer
goes through its normal post-purge period. If the W-Y
inputs should disappear, leaving the G signal input, the
control goes into continuous blower and the inducer remains on for the normal post-purge period.
Anytime the control senses false flame, the control locks
out of the heating mode. This occurs because the control
cannot sense the W input due to the false flame signal and,
as a result, sees only the Y input and goes into cooling mode
blower off delay. All other control functions remain in
standard format.
NOTE: EAC-1 terminal is energized whenever blower operates.
HUM terminal is only energized when gas valve is energized.
C. Start-up Procedures
1. Purge gas lines—After all connections have been made,
purge the lines and check for leaks.
→
→
→
→
→
WARNING: Never purge a gas line into a combustion
chamber. Never use matches, candles, flame, or other
sources of ignition to check for gas leakage. Use a
soap-and-water solution to check for gas leaks. Failure to
follow this warning could result in fire, explosion, personal injury, or death.
2. Component test—The furnace control allows all components, except gas valve, to be run for a short period of time.
This feature helps diagnose a system problem in case of a
component failure. To initiate component test procedure,
short (jumper) the TEST 3/16-in. quick connect terminal on
control (adjacent to diagnostic light) and the C
terminal on furnace thermostat connection block for approximately 2 sec. (See Fig. 14.)
NOTE: Component test feature will not operate if any thermostat
signal is present at control.
Component test sequence is as follows.
a. Momentarily jumper TEST and C
LED goes off.
b. LED will display previous status 4 times.
c. Inducer motor starts and continues to run for entire
component test.
d. Hot surface igniter is energized for 15 sec, then de-
energized.
e. Blower motor operates on cooling speed for 10 sec, then
stops.
f. Blower motor operates on heating speed for 10 sec, then
stops.
g. Inducer motor stops.

3. To operate furnace, follow procedures on operating instruction label attached to furnace.
4. With furnace operating, set thermostat below room temperature and observe that furnace goes off. Set thermostat
above room temperature and observe that furnace restarts.
D. Adjustments
1. Set gas input rate
Furnace gas input rate on rating plate is for installations at
altitudes up to 2000 ft. Furnace input rate must be within ±2
percent of input on furnace rating plate.
a. Determine natural gas orifice size and manifold pressure
for correct input.
→
(1.) Obtain average yearly gas heat value (at installed
altitude) from local gas supplier.
→
(2.) Obtain average yearly gas specific gravity from
local gas supplier.
(3.) Verify furnace model. Table 8 can only be used for
model 373LAV Furnaces.
(4.) Find installation altitude in Table 8.
NOTE: For Canada altitudes of 2000 to 4500 ft, use U.S.A.
altitudes of 2001 to 3000 ft in Table 8.
(5.) Find closest natural gas heat value and specific
gravity in Table 8.
(6.) Follow heat value and specific gravity lines to point
of intersection to find orifice size and manifold
pressure settings for proper operation.
EXAMPLE: (0—2000 ft altitude)
Heating value = 1050 Btu/cu ft
Specific gravity = 0.62
Therefore: Orifice No. 43*
Manifold pressure 3.6-in. wc
* Furnace is shipped with No. 43 orifices. In this example
all main burner orifices are the correct size and do not need
to be changed to obtain proper input rate.
b. Adjust manifold pressure to obtain input rate.
(1.) Remove regulator adjustment seal cap. (See Fig.
17.)

NOTE: This furnace has been approved for a manifold pressure
of 3.2-in. wc to 3.8-in. wc when installed at altitudes up to 2000 ft.
For altitudes above 2000 ft, the manifold pressure can be adjusted
from 2.0-in. wc to 3.8-in. wc.
CAUTION: DO NOT bottom out gas valve regulator
adjusting screw. This can result in unregulated manifold
pressure and result in excess overfire and heat exchanger
failures.
(7.) Check and verify burner orifice size in furnace.
NEVER ASSUME ORIFICE SIZE. ALWAYS
CHECK AND VERIFY.
BURNER
ORIFICE
→
CAUTION: Do not redrill orifices. Improper drilling
(burrs, out-of-round holes, etc.) can cause excessive
burner noise and misdirection of burner flames. This can
result in flame impingement of burners and heat exchangers, causing failures.
NOTE: If orifice hole appears damaged or it is suspected to have
been redrilled, check orifice hole with a numbered drill bit of
correct size. Never redrill an orifice. A burr-free and squarely
aligned orifice hole is essential for proper flame characteristics.

(3.) After correct manifold pressure is obtained, replace
gas valve regulator adjustment screw cap and verify
adjusted gas input rate using method outlined in
item c.
(4.) Burner flame should be clear blue, almost transpar-
ent. (See Fig. 18.)
c. Verify natural gas input rate by clocking gas meter.

Btu heating input = Btu/cu ft X cu ft/hr
Heating value of gas = 1050 Btu/cu ft
Time for 1 revolution of 2-cu ft dial = 82 sec
Gas rate = 88 cu ft/hr (from Table 9)
Btu heating input = 88 X 1050 = 92,400 Btuh
In this example, the orifice size and manifold pressure
adjustment is within ±2 percent of the furnace input rate.

At installation altitudes from 2000 to 4500 ft, this furnace must be
derated 10 percent by an authorized Gas Conversion Station. To
determine correct input rate for altitude, see example above and
use 0.90 as derate multiplier factor.
a. Turn off all other gas appliances and pilots.
b. Start furnace and let operate for 3 minutes.
c. Measure time (in sec) for gas meter test dial to complete
1 revolution.
d. Refer to Table 9 for cu ft of gas per hr.
e. Multiply gas rate (cu ft/hr) X heating value (Btu/cu ft)
using natural gas heating value from local gas
utility/supplier.
2. Set temperature rise.
Furnace must operate within range of temperature rise
specified on the unit rating plate. Determine the air temperature rise as follows.
a. Place duct thermometers in return and supply ducts as
near furnace as possible. Be sure thermometers do not
"see" heat exchangers so that radiant heat does not affect
thermometer readings. This is particularly important
with straight-run ducts.
b. When thermometer readings stabilize, subtract return-air
temperature from supply-air temperature to determine
temperature rise.
c. Adjust air temperature rise by adjusting blower speed.
Increase blower speed to reduce temperature rise. Decrease blower speed to increase temperature rise.
WARNING: Disconnect the electrical power before
changing the speed tap. Failure to follow this warning
could result in personal injury.
d. To change blower motor speed selections for heating
mode, remove blower motor lead from control HEAT
terminal. (See Fig. 14.) Select desired blower motor
speed lead from 1 of the other terminals and relocate it
to HEAT terminal. See Table 10 for lead color identification. Reconnect original lead on SPARE terminal.
Follow this same procedure for proper selection of COOL
speed selection.
CAUTION: Recheck temperature rise. It must be within
limits specified on unit rating plate. Recommended operation is at midpoint of rise or above.
3. Set thermostat heat anticipator.
The thermostat heat anticipator must be set to match the
amp draw of the electrical components in the R-W circuit.
Accurate amp draw readings can be obtained at thermostat
subbase terminals R and W. Fig. 19 illustrates an easy
method of obtaining the actual amp draw. The amp reading
should be taken after the blower motor has started. See the
thermostat manufacturer’s instructions for adjusting the
heat anticipator and for varying the heating cycle length.
NOTE: When using an electronic thermostat, set cycle rate for 3
cycles per hr.
E. Check Safety Controls
The flame sensor, gas valve, and pressure switch were all checked
in the Start-Up Procedures section as part of normal operation.
1. Check primary limit control.
This control shuts off the combustion control system and
energizes the circulating-air blower motor if the furnace
overheats.
The preferred method of checking the limit control is to
gradually block off the return air after the furnace has been
operating for a period of at least 5 minutes. As soon as the

limit has shut off the burners, the return-air opening should
be unblocked. By using this method to check the limit
control, it can be established that the limit is functioning
properly and operates if there is a motor failure.
2. Check blocked vent safeguard switch.
The purpose of this control is to permit the safe shutdown
of the furnace during certain blocked vent conditions.
a. Disconnect power to furnace and remove vent connector
from furnace outlet collar. Be sure to allow time for vent
pipe to cool down before removing.
b. Restore power to furnace and set room thermostat above
room temperature.
c. After normal start-up, allow furnace to operate for 2
minutes, then block flue outlet 100 percent. Furnace
should cycle off within 2 minutes.
d. Remove blockage and reconnect vent pipe to furnace
outlet collar.
e. Wait 5 minutes and then reset blocked vent safeguard
switch.
3. Check pressure switch.
This control proves operation of draft inducer blower.
a. Turn off 115-v power to furnace.
b. Remove control door and disconnect inducer motor lead
wires from wire harness.
c. Turn on 115-v power to furnace.
→
d. Set thermostat to "call for heat" and wait 1 minute. When
pressure switch is functioning properly, hot surface
igniter should NOT glow and control diagnostic light
flashes a status code 31. If hot surface igniter glows
when inducer motor is disconnected, shut down furnace
immediately. Determine reason pressure switch did not
function properly and correct condition.
e. Turn off 115-v power to furnace.
f. Reconnect inducer motor wires, replace control door, and
turn on 115-v power to furnace.
4. Check auxiliary limits (when used).
