CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE HAZARD
Improper use or installation of this furnace may cause
premature furnace component failure.
This gas furnace may be used for heating buildings under
construction provided that:
--The furnace is permanently installed with all electrical
wiring, piping, venting and ducting installed according to
these installation instructions. A return air duct is provided,
sealed to the furnace casing, and terminated outside the
space containing the furnace. This prevents a negative
pressure condition as created by the circulating air blower,
causing a flame rollout and/or drawing combustion
products into the structure.
--The furnace is controlled by a thermostat. It may not be
“hot wired” to provide heat continuously to the structure
without thermostatic control.
--Clean outside air is provided for combustion. This is to
minimize the corrosive effects of adhesives, sealers and
other construction materials. It also prevents the
entrainment of drywall dust into combustion air, which can
cause fouling and plugging of furnace components.
--The temperature of the return air to the furnace is
maintained between 55_F(13_C) and 80 _F(27_C), with
no evening setback or shutdown. The use of the furnace
while the structure is under construction is deemed to be
intermittent operation per our installation instructions.
--The air temperature rise is within the rated rise range on
the furnace rating plate, and the gas input rate has been set
to the nameplate value.
--The filters used to clean the circulating air during the
construction process must be either changed or thoroughly
cleaned prior to occupancy.
--The furnace, ductwork and filters are cleaned as necessary
to remove drywall dust and construction debris from all
HVAC system components after construction is completed.
--Verify proper furnace operating conditions including
ignition, gas input rate, air temperature rise, and venting
according to these installation instructions.

POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death, and/or property damage.
Do not install the furnace on its back or hang furnace with
control compartment facing downward. Safety control
operation will be adversely affected.Never connect
return--air ducts to the back of the furnace.
The furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic or crawl space
on either the left--hand (LH) or right--hand (RH) side. The furnace
can be hung from floor joists, rafters or trusses or installed on a
non--combustible platform, blocks, bricks or pad.
Suspended Furnace
Support
The furnace may be supported under each end with threaded rod,
angle iron or metal plumber’s strap as shown. (See Fig. 15 and
16.) Secure angle iron to bottom of furnace as shown.
Heavy--gauge sheet metal straps (plumber’s straps) may be used
to suspend the furnace from each bottom corner. To prevent
screws from pulling out, use 2 #8 x 3/4--in. (19 mm) screws into
the side and 2 #8 x 3/4--in. (19 mm) screws in the bottom of the
furnace casing for each strap. (See Fig. 15 and 16.) If the screws
are attached to ONLY the furnace sides and not the bottom, the
straps must be vertical against the furnace sides and not pull away
from the furnace sides, so that the strap attachment screws are not
in tension (are loaded in shear) for reliable support.
Platform Furnace
Support
Construct working platform at location where all required furnace
clearances are met. (See Fig. 2 and 17.) For furnaces with 1--in.
(25 mm) clearance requirement on side, set furnace on
noncombustible blocks, bricks or angle iron. For crawl space
installations, if the furnace is not suspended from the floor joists,
the ground underneath furnace must be level and the furnace set
on blocks or bricks.
Roll-- Out Pr
