NOTE: Read these instructions carefully and completely
before installing the furnace.
INTRODUCTION
Before installing the furnace, refer to “Procedure for Down
flow Condensing Furnaces” (packaged with the equipment)
for information concerning combustion, venting, piping, and
other standard installation practices. Further reference is
made to the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54-1988-1/ANSI Z223.1-1988.
>• Reference should eJso be made to the regulations of the
serving gas supplier and the local building, heating, plumb
ing, or other codes in effect in the area in which the installa
tion is made.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Installation emd servicing of heating equipment can be haz
ardous due to gas and electrical components. Only treiined
and qualified personnel should install, repair, or service
heating equipment.
Untrained personnel cem perform basic maintenance func
tions such as cleaning and replacing air filters. AU other
operations must be performed by trained service personnel.
When working on heating equipment, observe precautions
in the literature, tags, and labels attached to or shipped
with the unit and other safety precautions that may apply.
FoUow aU safety codes, including NFPA No. 54/ANSI
Z223.1-1988, National Fuel Gas Code, Wear safety glasses
and work gloves. Have fire extinguisher available during
startup and adjustment procedures and service call.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert sym
bol A. When you see this symbol on the furnace and in
instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for per
sonal injury.
Understand the signal word—DANGER, WARNING or
CAUTION. These words are used with the safety-alert sym
bol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which
will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING,
on the other hand could result in personal injury or death.
CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices, which would
result in minor personal injury or product and property
damage.
Each Model 58DX is shipped from the factory completely
assembled with a multispeed direct-drive blower and wired
ready for an indoor heating installation. The furnace fea
tures a blower control center with easy-to-read, 24-volt ter
minal strip to ensure proper connections.
The output capacity and any representations of efficiency
for this furnace aie based on standard Department of
Energy test procedures.
The installed operation may vary, depending on installation,
weather, and other factors.
The design of the downflow gas-fired furnace is A.G.A. cer
tified for installation on noncombustible flooring. The fur
nace may be installed on combustible flooring when
installed with the accessory downflow subbase. This furnace
is designed for installation in alcoves, attics, basements,
closets, utility rooms, and manufactured housing (mobile
homes). This furnace line is not A.G.A. certified for installa
tion in a recreation vehicle or outdoors.

ing, explosion, fire, electrical shock, or other conditions
which may cause personeJ injury or property damage.
Consult a qualified installer, service agency, local gas
supplier or your Distributor or Branch for information
or assistance. The qualified installer or agency must use
only factory authorized kits or accessories when modi
fying this product. A failure to adhere to this warning
can cause electrical shock, fire, personal injury, or
death.

See Fig. 6 for a wiring diagram showing the proper field
115- and 24-volt wiring. Be sure field wiring complies with
the National Electric Code and any local codes or ordnances
that may apply. Voltage to the furnace must be within the
limits shown in Table 3. Contact your local power company
for correction of improper voltage.
NOTE; Operation of unit on improper line voltage consti
tutes abuse and could affect unit reliability. Do not install
the furnace in a system where voltage may fluctuate above
or below permissible limits.
Use a separate fused branch electrical circuit containing the
properly sized time-delay fuse or HACR-type circuit breaker
for this furnace. See Table 3 for fuse and wire specifications.
A disconnecting means must be located within sight of, and
readily accessible to, the furnace. The blower door switch
may be acceptable in some areas as a disconnecting means.
Line voltage must enter the auxiliary J-box on the righthand side of the furnace.
A WARNING
The cabinet must have an uninterrupted or unbroken
ground according to National Electrical Code. ANSI/
NFPA 70-1987, or local codes to minimize personal
injury if an electrical fault should occur. This may con
sist of electrical wire or conduit approved for electrical
ground when installed in accordance with existing elec
trical codes. Do not use gas piping as an electrical
ground. A failure to adhere to this warning can result in
an electrical shock, fire, or death.
