4. Combustion products must be discharged outdoors. Connect this furnace to an approved vent system only,
as specifi ed in Section 7 of this manual, “Venting and Combustion Piping.”
5. Never test for gas leaks with an open fl ame. Use a commercially available soap solution made specifi cally
for the detection of leaks to check all connections as specifi ed in Section 12 of this manual, “Gas Supply
and Piping.”
6. Always install furnace to operate within the furnace’s intended temperature-rise range with a duct system,
which has an external static pressure within the allowable range, listed on the furnace rating plate, and as
specifi ed in Sections 3, 6, and 18 of this manual, “Furnace Sizing,”“Ductwork,” and “Airfl ow.”
7. When a furnace is installed so that the supply ducts carry air circulated by the furnace to areas outside the
space containing the furnace, the return air shall also be handled by duct(s) sealed to the furnace casing and
terminating outside the space containing the furnace. (Furnace for heating the home located in the attached
garage, for example).
8. A gas-fi red furnace for installation in a residential garage must be installed so that the burners and ignitor are
no less than 18” (457 mm) above the fl oor. The furnace must be located, or protected to avoid physical dam-
age by vehicles. (See safety warning).
9. This furnace may be used for heating of buildings or structures under construction provided that:
• The furnace is permanently installed with all electrical wiring, piping, venting and ducting installed per
these installation instructions.
• A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use of fi xed jumpers that will provide continuous

3.0 FURNACE SIZING
9
The maximum hourly heat loss for each heated space shall be calculated in accordance with the procedures
described in the manuals of the Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI), or by
any other method which is suitable for local conditions, provided the results obtained are in substantial agreement with, and not less than those obtained using the procedure described in their manuals.
In the United States, “Manual J - Load Calculation,” published by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America,
describes a suitable procedure for calculating the maximum hourly heat loss.
If the installation is a retrofi t application, do not rely on the capacity of the existing heating equipment as a
method to size the new furnace. Many of the heat transfer multiples listed in earlier versions of load calculation
manuals were much higher than those listed in more recent editions. It is possible that energy saving measures have been completed since the installation of the existing furnace. This might include additional insulation in the attic or walls, the application of sprayed foam insulation, the addition of storm windows and doors,
weather-stripping, caulking, etc.
Many of the older furnaces were equipped with large belt drive blower systems, operating at low RPM’s. If replacing an existing furnace, be sure that the existing ductwork can handle the amount of airfl ow necessary for
a reasonable temperature rise. Most older gas furnaces operated with a system temperature rise of 70 - 100°F
(39 - 56°C). This furnace is designed to be operated with a system temperature rise (∆T) of High Fire 35 - 65°F
(20 - 36°C), Low Fire 20 - 50°F (11 - 28°C). If the furnace
selected has an identical output capacity as the original
furnace, a substantial increase in system air fl ow will be
necessary. See Table 1 and the airfl ow characteristics in
Section 18 of this manual, “Airfl ow”.
Existing ductwork should be assessed for its air handling

capabilities.
The “Equal Friction Chart,” as published by ASHRAE and HRAI, is the basis for the various air duct calculators available through heating supply companies. Following the air velocity guide lines, according to the “Equal Friction Chart,” or a slide rule air duct calculator, a typical 6” (152 mm) round duct has a capacity of approxi-
mately 100 cfm.
IOM
NOTE:
The return air system is equally as important as the supply air system. An under-sized return
air system will prevent suffi cient quantities of air from reaching the supply air system and will
consequently reduce the service life of the furnace and its components.

4.0 LOCATION OF UNIT
4.1 GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. Select a location where the exhaust and combustion air piping can be routed between the furnace and
their terminations with a minimum of lengths and fi ttings. Be sure to check that the proposed termination
location will meet code requirements with respect to location and minimum clearances. (See venting sec-
tion for minimum and maximum limits.)
2. Select a location as near as possible to the existing or proposed duct system.
3. The furnace location must have provisions for condensate drainage. If a suitable drain is unavailable near
the furnace, a condensate pump must be used. The condensate pump drain tubing must not terminate
outdoors; similar to some air conditioning condensate installations. Be sure to select a condensate pump
that has been approved for furnace condensate applications.
4. The furnace location must permit access for servicing and be within the clearance to combustibles guidelines as marked on the appliance rating plate.
5. The furnace must be installed on a level surface. It is recommended that the rear of the furnace be elevated 1/4” (6 mm) higher than the front to facilitate proper condensate drainage.
6. If the furnace is being installed so that the return air will enter through the bottom, the perimeter of the
furnace must be properly supported.
7. In right venting confi guration, furnace must drain on the left side.
4.2 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
1. If the furnace is to be located in an area where the combustion air is laden with chemical compounds such
as bromine, chlorine or fl uorine, as may be found in swimming pool chemicals, laundry detergents, etc., use outdoor air for combustion. These compounds when exposed to fl ame, form acids which attack the
heat exchanger and other components.
Exposure to the following substances in the combustion air supply (but not limited to the following) will also
require OUTDOOR AIR for combustion:
• Aerosols, particularly CFC based or propelled aerosols
• Air fresheners
• “Airplane Glue” and similar adhesives and cements
• Ammonia, as commonly found in permanent wave solutions used in hair dressing salons
• Anti-static fabric softeners used in clothes dryers
• Carbon tetrachloride
• Chlorinated cleaners and waxes
• Chlorine and bromine based swimming pool chemicals
• De-icing salts or chemicals (rock salt, etc.)
• Dry cleaning fl uids such as perchloroethylene
• Fumes from curing polyurethane and similar substances
• Halogen based refrigerants including R-12 and R-22
• Hydrochloric acid, muriatic acid and other acid based masonry washing and curing materials
• Printer’s inks, paint removers, varnishes, varsol, toluene, etc.
• Water softener salt and chemicals
2. If this furnace is to be installed in an area over a fi nished ceiling or living area, install a fi eld fabricated
auxiliary drain pan under the furnace to protect that area from accidental condensate spills. The auxiliary
pan should be large enough to collect accidentally spilled condensate from the air conditioning evaporator
coil assembly if applicable.
3. If the furnace is installed in an area where freezing may occur, a garage, an attic, a crawl space or any
unconditioned space, steps must be taken to protect the condensate trap and drain line from freezing.
One possible measure could be to use a self-regulating 5 or 6 watt per foot heat tape covered with a jacket
of insulation. Heat tapes are available in plumbing supply houses.

4.3 INSTALLATION IN UPFLOW POSITION
11
UPFLOW INSTALLATION: Vent positioning, pressure switch location and drain locations shall be performed in accordance with instructions in the appropriate sections of this manual.
NON-SUSPENDED INSTALLATION: Maintain clearances to combustibles as outlined in Figure 1, Table B. The
furnace must be supported in such a way as to not allow twisting or sagging of the cabinet.
IMPORTANT:
• THE FURNACE MUST BE INSTALLED ON A LEVEL SURFACE. IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT THE REAR OF THE FURNACE BE ELEVATED 1/4” (6 mm) HIGHER THAN THE
FRONT TO FACILITATE PROPER CONDENSATE DRAINAGE.
• IF THE FURNACE AND AIR CONDITIONER IS LOCATED ABOVE A FINISHED SPACE,
INSTALL A DRAIN PAN UNDERNEATH THE UNIT.
NOTE
THIS FURNACE IS CERTIFIED FOR UPFLOW INSTALLATION ONLY.
This furnace is approved for installation in attics, alcoves, utility rooms, closets and crawl spaces.
If this furnace is to be installed in a utility room, be sure that it is located in such a way as to allow
access for servicing or the removal of other appliances installed in the room (hot water heater, for
example). It is not permissible to use a rear return on this appliance. Use only side and bottom
returns.
IOM
4.4 AIR CONDITIONING
This furnace may be used as part of an air conditioning system. The furnace wiring and control system is “air
conditioning ready.” There are the following factors to consider:
• The air conditioning evaporator coil must be downstream of the heat exchanger. The cooled air passing
over the warmer heat exchanger tubes can cause condensation inside the tubes, resulting in corrosion and
premature failure.
• A parallel duct system can be installed to direct the air from the furnace through the evaporator coil only.
Use dampers or other means to bypass the heat exchanger. If (summer/winter) dampers are used, they
should be interlocked to prevent system operation unless the dampers are in the full open or full closed
position.
NOTE
If installing a two stage air conditioning system, clip the JW38 jumper wire between Y (low cool) and Y2
(high cool) on the furnace control board.
Control defaults to Y2 (high cool) if JW38 jumper wire is NOT cut.

6.0 DUCTWORK
13
Proper airfl ow is required for the correct operation of this furnace. Insuffi cient airfl ow may cause erratic opera-
tion, could cause the furnace to cycle on the high temperature limit, and may damage the heat exchanger.
Excessive airfl ow may result in an excessively noisy duct system and may result in undesirable consequences
such as creating uncomfortable drafts.
If air conditioning is to be used with the furnace, the duct system must be capable of delivering the correct
amount of airfl ow for each system.
The ductwork should be sized and constructed in accordance with accepted industry standards. Duct sizing
and construction information may be obtained from:
• A.C.C.A. (Air Conditioning Contractors of America)
• A.S.H.R.A.E. (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers
• H.R.A.I. (Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Institute (Canada)
• S.M.A.C.N.A. (Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors’ National Association (United States)
All of the above professional organizations have duct sizing manuals available.
The total static pressure drop of the air distribution system (including fi lters) should not exceed 1.0” w.c.
!
WARNING
DO NOT ALLOW GAS PIPING TO BE ROUTED THROUGH JOIST SPACES THAT ARE
USED FOR RETURN AIR PURPOSES. DO NOT USE JOIST SPACES FOR RETURN AIR
PURPOSES IF THE JOIST SPACE ALREADY CONTAINS PLUMBING STACKS, CHIMNEY
COMPONENTS, ETC. UNLESS THE PORTION USED FOR RETURN AIR PURPOSES CAN
BE COMPLETELY ISOLATED FROM PORTIONS WITH OTHER USAGES.
!
IOM
NEVER ALLOW THE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION FROM THE FLUE TO ENTER THE
RETURN AIR OR SUPPLY AIR DUCTWORK.
ALL RETURN AIR DUCTWORK MUST BE ADEQUATELY SEALED AND SECURED TO
THE FURNACE WITH SHEET METAL SCREWS. TAPE THE SHEET METAL SEAMS IN THE
VICINITY OF THE FURNACE WITH DUCT TAPE OR SIMILAR MATERIAL.
WHEN THE FURNACE IS MOUNTED ON A PLATFORM WITH RETURN AIR THROUGH THE
BOTTOM, IT MUST BE SEALED AIR TIGHT BETWEEN THE FURNACE AND THE RETURN
AIR PLENUM. THE FLOOR OR PLATFORM MUST PROVIDE SOUND PHYSICAL SUPPORT
OF THE FURNACE WITHOUT SAGGING, OR GAPS AROUND THE BASE. IT MUST ALSO
BE SEALED BETWEEN THE SUPPORT AND THE BASE.
FAILURE TO PREVENT PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION FROM BEING CIRCULATED INTO
THE LIVING SPACE CAN CREATE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS, INCLUDING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING THAT COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH.

6.1 DUCTWORK STEPS
1. Position the furnace to minimize ductwork length and fi ttings.
2. Cut open a return air inlet. The choices are furnace bottom, either side, or any combination thereof (i.e.,
two sides or a side and the bottom).In all cases, cut the return air opening the full width of the return air
markers on the side panel.
!
WARNING
!
DO NOT USE THE REAR PANEL AS A RETURN AIR INLET. THERE IS INSUFFICIENT
ROOM TO PERMIT ADEQUATE AIRFLOW.
DAMAGES, DEFECTS OR FAILURES CAUSED BY CONDITIONED AIR (RETURN AIR)
SUPPLIED TO THE FURNACE BEING GREATER THAN 20% FROM OUTDOORS (55°F/13°C
MIN. RETURN AIR TEMPERATURE).
SOME HEATING AIR FLOW VALUES MAY BE HIGHER THAN THOSE REQUIRED FOR
COOLING. BE SURE TO SIZE DUCT SYSTEM FOR HIGHEST POSSIBLE VALUES.
3. Connect the return air duct or fi lter fi tting to the furnace. The connection should be sealed air tight to prevent
entraining combustion gases from an adjacent fuel burning appliance, or entraining combustion air for this
furnace or adjacent fuel burning appliances.
4. Ensure that there is adequate space and accessibility for air fi lter removal.
5. If an air conditioning evaporator coil is required, position it on the supply air side of the furnace. Ensure
that no air can bypass the evaporator coil.
6. Connect the supply air plenum to the supply air outlet.
FLEXIBLE DUCT CONNECTORS are an effective device to prevent the telegraphing of mechanical noise from
the furnace to other parts of the home via the ductwork. If using fl exible connectors, ensure that the adjoining
duct is independently supported.
NOTE: For upfl ow 5 ton airfl ow models where the airfl ow requirements exceed 1800 cfm, models
will require air openings and fi lters on: • both sides, OR
• one side and the bottom, OR
• just the bottom

and ANSI Z223.1 - 1992, section 5.3, “Air for Combustion and Ventilation,” in the United States. Check with lo-
cal authorities for any additional building codes bylaws or regulations.

CAUTION
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION PURPOSES MUST NOT ORIGINATE FROM A COR-
ROSIVE ATMOSPHERE. ANY FURNACE FAILURE CAUSED BY CORROSIVE ELEMENTS IS
EXCLUDED FROM WARRANTY COVERAGE.
!

The following types of installation sites (but not limited to the following) will REQUIRE OUTDOOR AIR for combustion because of chemical exposures:
• Commercial buildings
• Buildings with indoor swimming pools
• Furnaces installed in laundry rooms
• Furnaces in hobby or craft rooms
• Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas
Exposure to the following substances in the combustion air supply (but not limited to the following) will also
require OUTDOOR AIR for combustion:
• Aerosols, particularly CFC based or propelled aerosols
• Air fresheners
• “Airplane Glue” and similar adhesives and cements
• Ammonia, as commonly found in permanent wave solutions used in hair dressing salons
• Anti-static fabric softeners used in clothes dryers
• Carbon tetrachloride
• Chlorinated cleaners and waxes
• Chlorine and bromine based swimming pool chemicals
• De-icing salts or chemicals (rock salt, etc.)
• Dry cleaning fl uids such as perchloroethylene
• Fumes from curing polyurethane and similar substances
• Halogen based refrigerants including R-12 and R-22
• Hydrochloric acid, muriatic acid and other acid based masonry washing and curing materials
• Printer’s inks, paint removers, varnishes, varsol, toluene, etc.
• Water softener salt and chemicals
Combustion air must be free of acid forming chemicals such as sulphur, fl uorine and chlorine. These elements
are found in aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, air fresheners, paint and varnish remov-

ers, refrigerants, and many other commercial and household products. When burned in a gas fl ame, vapors
from these products form acid compounds. Acid compounds increase the dew point temperature of the fl ue
products and are highly corrosive after they condense.
8.1 DETERMINING COMBUSTION AIR
8.1.1 CASE 1: FURNACE LOCATED IN A UNCONFINED SPACE
Unconfi ned space does not necessarily mean that ventilation will not have to be introduced from the outdoors,
particularly in airtight homes. The minimum requirement for unconfi ned space is a volume of 50 cubic feet (1.42
m³) for each 1000 Btu/hr for all fuel burning appliances located within the unconfi ned area.
If the amount of combustion and ventilation air is insuffi cient to properly operate the furnace and other fuel
burning appliances within the unconfi ned area, it will be necessary to supply it from the outdoors based on the
criteria used when calculating the air supply for a confi ned space.
NOTE
If planning to use the inside air in an unconfi ned space, remember to test for proper furnace operation (as well
as other fuel burning appliances located within the unconfi ned space) with respect to adequate combustion and
ventilation air with fi replace dampers open, clothes dryer running, bathroom exhaust fans on, kitchen range hood
on, etc.
17
IOM
8.1.2 CASE 2: FURNACE LOCATED IN A CONFINED SPACE
A confi ned space, (any space smaller than the minimums discussed in Case 1), must have two air openings;
one within 12” (305 mm) of the ceiling and the other within 12” (305 mm) of the fl oor. The air openings must be
sized based on whether the combustion and ventilation air is being taken from indoors or outdoors, the method
outdoor air (if used) is introduced, and taking into account any other fuel burning appliances in the confi ned
space.
If suffi cient indoor combustion and ventilation air is available for the furnace and all other fuel burning
appliances, size each opening on the basis of one square inch (645 mm²) of free area per 1000 Btu/hr.
(Figure 4)
NOTE
Be sure to consider all clothes dryers, bathroom fans, range hoods, etc., when making this calculation.
The minimum requirement for these openings is
100 square inches (645 mm²), even for the furnace
models under 100,000 Btu/hr.
NOTE
If using grills to cover the two openings, factor
in the free area of the grill. Typically, a sidewall
grill will have a free area approximately 50% of
its nominal size. Consequently, if the required
opening is 10 x 10 (254 mm x 254 mm), it will
have to be doubled if using a sidewall grill
with 50% free area.

IMPORTANT:
IF AN EXHAUST FAN, FIREPLACE, CLOTHES DRYER OR ANY SIMILAR DEVICE IS PRESENT IN THE
INDOOR AREA FROM WHICH THE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR WILL BE DRAWN, NEGATIVE
PRESSURE COULD BE A PROBLEM IF NATURAL INFILTRATION FROM THE OUTDOORS DOES NOT
MATCH THE RATE AT WHICH AIR IS EXHAUSTED.
8.1.3 CASE 3: FURNACE LOCATED IN A CONFINED SPACE, OUTDOOR AIR
FROM ATTIC OR CRAWL SPACE
In this circumstance, the free area of each of the two combustion and ventilation air openings is based on a
minimum of 1 square inch (645 mm²) per 4000 Btu/hr. In this confi guration, one opening can originate from
the fl oor drawing combustion and ventilation air from the ventilated crawl space.
The other opening may communicate freely with a ventilated the attic. If using the attic air, ensure that the
opening is ducted from the ceiling high enough to be above the insulation. The attic must be adequately
vented with soffi t vents or gable vents (Figure 5).
As an alternative to creating an opening in the fl oor to draw air from a crawl space, a duct may be dropped from
the attic terminating 12” (305 mm) above the fl oor.
The following table shows minimum free areas and
round pipe sizes when drawing combustion air vertically from the attic or crawl space for the furnace
only. If other fuel burning appliances are present,
their combustion air and ventilation air requirements
must be added to those of the furnace.

8.1.4 CASE 4: FURNACE LOCATED IN A CONFINED SPACE, OUTDOOR AIR
DUCTED HORIZONTALLY
Similar to Case 3, outdoor air for combustion and ventilation may be drawn through horizontal ducting. The
free area for each opening is calculated on the basis of a minimum of 1 square inch (645 mm²) per 2000 Btu/hr
input.
The following table shows minimum free areas and round pipe sizes when drawing combustion air horizontally
from the outdoors for the furnace only. If other fuel burning appliances are present, their combustion air and
ventilation air requirements must be added to those of the furnace.

IMPORTANT:
WHEN USING INDOOR AIR OR THE NON-DIRECT VENT

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS SECTION. FAILURE TO PROPERLY VENT THIS
FURNACE CAN CAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING OR AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE RESULTING
IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
NOTE
• Combustion air intake and exhaust termination should be inspected periodically to ensure they are clear of
obstructions. i.e. vegetation, debris, snow, etc.
• Accumulation of snow around the combustion air intake and exhaust termination may have
negative effects on appliance operation and/or performance. Snow accumulation should be
considered when locating combustion air intake and exhaust terminations.
ATTENTION:
UPFLOW VENTING RIGHT, MUST DRAIN ON LEFT SIDE.
IMPORTANT:
• CLEAN AND DE-BURR ALL PIPE CUTS. THE SHAVINGS MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO
BLOCK THE EXHAUST, COMBUSTION AIR INLET OR CONDENSATE DRAIN LINES.
• EVEN UNCUT FULL LENGTH SECTIONS PRODUCE SHAVINGS DURING ASSEMBLY
THAT COULD BLOCK CONDENSES TO DRAINAGE.
• THE EXHAUST VENT MUST BE SUPPORTED APPROPRIATELY PRIOR TO IT BEING
FITTED TO THE EXHAUSTER. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL THE EXHAUSTER
BEAR ANY WEIGHT OF THE VENTING SYSTEM.
• IF THE PIPE AND FITTINGS ARE TO BE OTHER THAN PVC, USE THE PROPER
CLEANER, PRIMER AND CEMENT FOR THE DISSIMILAR MATERIALS.
!
• Venting may be vertical or horizontal.
• Minimum vent length - 15 total equivalent feet. (See Venting Table)
• Horizontal piping must slope back towards the furnace at a minimum rate of ¼” (6.4 mm) to the foot (305
mm), so that condensate drains towards the furnace.
• Horizontal runs must be supported at least every 3 feet (914 mm). Horizontal sections must not dip or sag.
• All vent runs through unconditioned space where freezing might occur should be insulated with 1” (25 mm) thick,
medium density, foil-faced Fiberglass insulation. An equivalent “arm-a-fl ex” or “rub-a-tex” may also be used as
long as there is no heat tape applied to the vent pipe. For horizontal runs where water may collect, wrap the vent
pipe with self regulating 3 or 5 watt heat tape. The heat tape must be CSA, UL, or ULC listed and installed per the
manufacturer’s instructions. This includes travel through unconditioned attic space.
• DO NOT COMMON VENT WITH ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.
• If venting vertically, do not vent up a chimney serving another appliance or install in a chase with a metal or
high temperature plastic pipe from another gas or fuel burning appliance unless the required clearances to
combustibles can be maintained between the furnace venting system and other pipes.
All exhaust piping must be installed in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.in Canada; the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1 in the United States, as well as in accordance with local codes.
Size the combustion air and exhaust piping in accordance with Table 4. When calculating allowable vent

9.1 VENT TERMINATION
Horizontal vents should pass through the exterior wall. Figure 8 shows a standard horizontal vent detail. Terminate the vent approximately 8” (203 mm) or more from the wall.
Exterior vent pipe greater than 24” (610 mm) should be insulated with ½” (13 mm) insulation to prevent moisture from freezing within the pipe and accumulating.
Size the exhaust pipe as specifi ed in
Table 4 - Direct and Non-Direct Vent
Lengths. This table lists the maximum
allowable length of pipe with respect to
the number of 90° elbows used. For the
purposes of this calculation, one 90°
elbow is equivalent to two 45° elbows.
Avoid locating the terminal in locations
where dripping condensate may cause
problems such as sidewalks, patios,
above planters, near windows where
exhaust gases may cause fogging, etc.
Avoid locating the termination too close
to shrubs and other vegetation. The
condensate may stunt or kill them.
EQUIVALENTS
Short Radius Elbow = 7’ (2.13 m)
Medium Radius Elbow = 2.5’ (.76 m)
Long Radius Elbow = 5’ (1.52 m)
Vent lengths that require more than

9.4.1 NON-DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION USING INDOOR COMBUSTION AIR
(ONE PIPE SYSTEM)
Non-direct vent installations require only a vent pipe. This may be desirable when using outdoor combustion
air is not practical.
• Provisions are not made for routing of combustion air;
• The outdoor environment may contain contaminants undesirable for combustion.
• Install a short piece of intake air pipe with a 90° elbow to prevent objects from entering burner
area, and or objects from blocking combustion air intake.
9.4.2 DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION USING OUTDOOR COMBUSTION AIR (TWO
PIPE SYSTEM)
The direct vent confi guration is the preferred installation method. The primary advantages are:
• No special kit or modifi cations are required for direct vent installations
• Dedicated combustion air piping eliminates the need to use already heated air for combustion purposes;
• The probability of corrosive contaminants being present in the combustion air is greatly reduced;
• The direct vent confi guration is unaffected by any other appliances, exhaust fans, or other devices that
tend to create negative pressure conditions while operating.
• No vents for combustion air are required in confi ned spaces.
9.4.3 COMBUSTION AIR
This furnace is certifi ed as a Category IV Type FSP Non-Direct and Direct Vent Furnace. When installed
as a direct vent furnace, all combustion air is supplied from the outdoors via the plastic piping system. All
components are fi eld supplied, except for the 2” PVC connector used to connect the combustion air piping to
the furnace.
The combustion air piping, like the exhaust piping, must be air tight throughout the system. The adapter joining
the combustion air to the furnace is supplied with one gasket.
IMPORTANT:
• IF PLANNING TO USE ABS PIPE, USE AN ALL-PURPOSE CLEANER AND ABS
TO PVC TRANSITION CEMENT. IF PLANNING TO USE CPVC PIPE, USE AN ALLPURPOSE CLEANER, A CLEAR OR PURPLE PRIMER AND ALL-PURPOSE CEMENT
APPROVED FOR THE PURPOSE.
• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT CLEANERS, PRIMERS, SOLVENTS AND
CEMENTS MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THEIR MANUFACTURERS.
• IF THE FURNACE IS TO BE INSTALLED IN THE VICINITY OF OTHER FUEL BURNING
APPLIANCES, ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AIR MUST BE AVAILABLE FOR THE NON-
DIRECT VENT APPLIANCES. SEE SECTION 8.1, “DETERMINING COMBUSTION AIR”.

The combustion air inlet must be located a minimum of
12” (305 mm) above grade, and 12” (305 mm) below the
exhaust outlet. (Figure 11)
10.2 EXHAUST
HORIZONTAL - The exhaust termination is normally a 45° elbow or a medium or long sweep 90° elbow pointing within 45° of the downward position, away from the combustion air intake terminal.
If the required clearance to grade cannot be obtained with the “straight through” confi guration, the exhaust pipe
may be “periscoped” up to 24” (610 mm) to gain extra height. (Figure 9) In this case, the fl ue gases may be
expelled horizontally. Use the same size pipe as the interior run and count the fi ttings and length as part of the total
vent length.
If winter prevailing wind conditions are variable and likely to occasionally blow fl ue gases back in on the com-
bustion air intake, the exhaust termination may be raised 18-24” (457 mm x 610 mm) above the combustion air
intake terminal to take advantage of the natural buoyancy of the fl ue gases to
help prevent re-circulation of the exhaust. (Figure 9)
VERTICAL - No termination fi tting is required if venting vertically through a
roof. The end of the exhaust pipe must be 12” (305 mm) higher than the en-
trance of the combustion air intake terminal. (Figure 11)
The exhaust pipe extending through the roof must extend a minimum of 18”
(457 mm) above any obstruction within an 18” (457 mm) horizontal distance.
Insulate all venting that extends 24” (610 mm) or more to the outside.

10.3 CONCENTRIC VENTING KIT
Concentric venting terminal kits may be used for this series furnace. They provide a means of obtaining combustion air and exhausting products of combustion utilizing a single penetration through the exterior wall. This
can be useful when there is limited wall space available. Kits are available in 2” and 3” sizes. If venting the 60K
Btu/hr model with 1½” vent material, and a concentric vent kit is necessary, a increase coupling may be used
to connect to the 2” concentric venting kit. Read the instructions supplied with the kit for additional installation
instructions and details.
NOTE
Straight vertical runs should have offset to push condensate against vent walls.
Follow the concentric vent termination manufacturer instructions for installation of the concentric vent termination kit. These instructions can be found by contacting the furnace manufacture. Furnace manufacturer
contact information is found on the front cover of this installation manual and operating instructions.

10.5 LOCATION
Avoid locating the terminals where the fl ue gas could become stagnant and allow recirculation into the combus-
tion air intake.
Avoid locating the terminal in locations where dripping condensate may cause problems such as sidewalks, patios, above planters, near windows where exhaust gases may cause fogging, etc.
Avoid locating the termination too close to shrubs and other vegetation. The condensate may stunt or kill them.
Caulk all cracks, seams or joints within a 6 foot (1.8 m) radius of the termination.
Do not terminate under a deck unless there is adequate clearance to prevent damage from the fl ue gases. A
termination may be located at the end of a patio deck. Piping running beneath the deck must be suitably insulated and suspended in a manner to prevent condensate from collecting and freezing.
When locating vent terminations, consideration must be given to prevailing winds, location, and other conditions which may cause recirculation of the combustion products of adjacent vents.

11.0 ROUTING OPTIONS
29
This furnace must be installed in the upfl ow position only. Figure 22 on the following page shows the three vent
installation positions. The installer must consider the following services: gas pipe, electrical power, drain trap, intake and exhaust vents. Also consider the air conditioning connections and drain, access to fi lter(s)
and access to furnace and a/c for repair. Drains and traps of furnaces installed in spaces subjected
to freezing temperature must also be protected against freezing.
The combustion air inlet fi tting is a 2” PVC Socket to Pipe Thread adapter. Choose the intake loca-
tion and remove the appropriate plastic cap. Install the adapter to the exterior panel using the gasket (on the outside of the panel and the locknut on the inside of the panel). Failure to apply gasket
on cabinet exterior voids the warranty.
3. Remove pressure switch assembly (switches) and front manifold cover pressure sensing hose.
4. Remove exhauster.
5. Reverse the bands on the rubber drain coupling so the screws are accessible if necessary. (Do not
reverse the drain coupling.) Confi rm that directional arrow on drain coupling points away from exhauster.
6. Remove the appropriate plastic cap on the side panel. Install cap on vent opening not in use.
7. Reinstall the exhauster and the pressure switch assembly in the correct orientation with the (3) exhauster
screws removed in step 2. Reinstall the pressure switches so that they are above the heat exchanger
drain, to eliminate the chance of condensate draining into the pressure switch sensing hose causing
erratic furnace operation. See Figure 22 for reference. DO NOT USE POWER TOOL.
8. Rotate the drain coupling so the drain holes are angled downward 15° and tighten coupling band to
exhauster.
9. Complete the venting as installation requires.
Always secure or support the vent and intake to the fl oor joists or rafters to avoid sagging and possible fatigue
of venting materials. This ensures proper drainage and prevents spilling the products of combustion into the
building.
The blower compartment should be completely isolated from the burner compartment, and in tight rooms with
other combustion devices, be completely isolated from the room. Ensure that the combustion door gasket is in
good condition.

IMPORTANT:
KEEP PRESSURE SWITCH HOSES ABOVE HEAT EXCHANGER DRAIN, AND CUT TO

11.2 CONDENSATE DRAINS
IOM
IOM
The furnace may condense as much as a 4½ pounds of water per hour (approximately 2 imperial quarts, 2½ U.S.
quarts or 2¼ liters). It is necessary to make provisions for draining the condensate away. The furnace is supplied
with a drain trap assembly. See Figure 22 for possible locations of the drain trap.
In the left and right vent installation, the drain coupling on the exhauster will work better if the drain holes are
pointed down about 15 degrees. The drain hose supplied with the furnace is long enough to reach either side
panel; however, it must be cut to fi t each application. This is to prevent kinking in the drain lines.
ATTENTION:
UPFLOW VENTING RIGHT, MUST DRAIN ON LEFT SIDE.
11.3 PREPARATIONS FOR VENT AND DRAINING OPTION
1. Determine the most suitable vent and drain options for installation. See Figure22 for reference, and refer
to Exhauster Rotation Instructions section if necessary.
2. Remove the 3½” plastic vent cap (if required), and cover vent hole not in use. Install rubber grommet (in
parts bag) for 2” vent pipe. Connect vent pipe (field supplied). If using 1½” or 3” vent, make transition as
close as possible to the unit and on a vertical section.
3. Remove the plastic air inlet cap and connect the 2” PVC air intake connector with the rubber gasket on the
outside of the unit using the 2” lock nut (in parts bag). If using 1½” or 3” air intake pipe, make transition as
close as possible to the unit and on a vertical section.
4. Connect 2” air intake pipe (field supplied). The exhaust vent must be supported appropriately prior to
it being fitted to the exhauster. Under no circumstances shall the exhauster bear any weight of the
venting system.
5. Install appropriate gaskets on condensate trap, and remove the two plastic caps attached to the blower
division, and the one attached to the side panel if applicable.
6. Affix the condensate trap assembly to the interior of the side panel in the blower compartment using the
two screws provided (in parts bag).
7. Make sure the combustion compartment is fully sealed.
NOTE
• Condensate drain tubing must be cut to
appropriate length and slopping towards
condensate trap, ensuring that drain hoses
do not create traps prior to the condensate
trap assembly.
• Condensate trap must be primed with water
prior to initial furnace start up.
• Any increase in venting diameter must
be done on the vertical sections NOT
horizontal sections.
• Barbed fi ttings must be fully inserted into
condensate trap, seated to barb fl ange.

11.4 DRAIN HOSE INSTALLATION
33
1. Connect one end of the 5/8” tubing (in parts bag) to the most direct drain outlet on the front manifold cover,
and the other end to the larger elbow on the condensate trap assembly. Cut excess tubing if necessary
and hold in place with the supplied plastic hose clamps (in parts bag).
2. Connect one end of the 1/2” tubing, using the reducing coupling (in parts bag), to the lower drain outlet
on the exhauster coupling, and the other end to the smaller elbow on the condensate trap assembly. Cut
excess tubing if necessary.
NOTE
All condensate drain tubing must slope towards the condensate trap, ensuring that the drain
hoses do not create traps or kinks in the hose prior to the condensate trap assembly.
11.4.1 DRAIN PIPING
Condensate from the outlet of the drain trap assembly must be conveyed to a fl oor drain, sump pit, or, if these
are unavailable, to a condensate pump. If using a condensate pump, be sure that it is approved for furnace
condensate.
DO NOT DRAIN THE CONDENSATE OUTDOORS. DO NOT RUN THE CONDENSATE LINE
THROUGH AREAS WHERE FREEZING MIGHT OCCUR. FREEZING OF CONDENSATE CAN
RESULT IN ERRATIC FURNACE OPERATION AND IN PROPERTY DAMAGE.
!
CAUTION
IOM
!
A typical confi guration would be to cement the side branch of a ½” CPVC tee to the drain trap assembly
outlet, with the end branches oriented vertically. (Figure 15)
A 1” (25 mm) piece of ½” CPVC pipe cemented to the upper end branch will serve as a vent, which will
prevent the creation of a vapor lock, and serve as an overfl ow in the event that the drain line becomes
blocked. A similarly sized piece of pipe cemented to the lower end branch will permit connection to the
condensate outlet with ⅝” id / ⅞” OD fl exible tubing, or the condensate may be piped entirely in CPVC to the fl oor drain/sump/condensate pump.
NOTE
It is recommended that the condensate drain assembly not be cemented to the condensate trap
outlet, if removal of the condensate trap is required in the future. Use a piece of the provided 1/2”
drain hose if removal of the condensate trap is anticipated.
IMPORTANT:
IF AN AIR CONDITIONING EVAPORATOR COIL DRAIN IS TO SHARE THE FURNACE DRAIN
LINE, IT SHOULD BE CONNECTED WITH A TEE FITTING DOWNSTREAM FROM THE
TRAP. DO NOT CONNECT THE EVAPORATOR COIL CONDENSATE DRAIN UPSTREAM OF
THE FURNACE DRAIN TRAP ASSEMBLY.

11.4.2 PRIMING CONDENSATE TRAP
IMPORTANT:
THE CONDENSATE DRAIN TRAP ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE FULL OF WATER (PRIMED)
BEFORE STARTING THE FURNACE. TO FILL THE CONDENSATE DRAIN TRAP ASSEMBLY,
TEMPORARILY REMOVE THE VENT DRAIN HOSE FROM THE EXHAUSTER ASSEMBLY
ELBOW/DRAIN FITTING, AND POUR APPROXIMATELY ONE CUP OF WATER DOWN THE
HOSE. WATER WILL BEGIN RUNNING OUT THE CONDENSATE DRAIN TRAP OUTLET
WHEN IT IS FULL. REFASTEN THE VENT DRAIN HOSE TO THE EXHAUSTER ASSEMBLY
ELBOW/DRAIN FITTING.
THE CONDENSATE DRAINAGE CONFIGURATION REQUIRES A VENT. IT TAKES LESS
THAN A ONE INCH RISE ANYWHERE ALONG THE HORIZONTAL ROUTE OF THE DRAIN
TUBE TO CREATE A VAPOR LOCK, WHICH WILL PREVENT CONDENSATE FROM
DRAINING AWAY FREELY, AND RESULT IN ERRATIC FURNACE OPERATION.
11.5 ALTERNATE CONDENSATE DRAIN PIPING INSTALLATION USING PVC OR
CPVC
The supplied parts bag includes a length of ½” and 5/8” rubber hose and the condensate trap. Install the condensate trap according to instructions included in this manual.
FIGURE17FIGURE 18
If installing with ½” PVC, use the ½” hose. If installing with ¾” CPVC, use the 5/8” hose. Slide the appropriate
hose over the condensate trap outlet and cut it fl ush with the end of the outlet. The remaining rubber should be fl ush with the end of the outlet on the condensate trap. The remaining hose is suffi cient length to accommodate
all furnace orientations.
FIGURE 19FIGURE 20
W415-1080 / A / 08.28.13
Page 35
35
A ½” PVC coupling or bushing will fi t snug over the ½” rubber hose. A ¾” CPVC coupling or bushing will fi t
snug over the 5/8” rubber hose. This method ensures a water tight seal and also allows the condensate trap to
be easily removed for service.
FIGURE 21FIGURE 22
If extra security is desired, it is recommended to secure a strip of strapping around the drain. Utilize the existing condensate trap screws to secure the strapping.
IOM
11.6 CONDENSATE NEUTRALIZERS
Some local codes may require the use of a condensate neutralizer. If the furnace condensate is to be routed to
a septic system, it may be advisable to use a condensate neutralizer.
When condensate neutralizers are used, it is advisable to install it with an overfl ow bypass tube.

10. Using a leak detection solution, check for leaks at pressure boss screw. Bubbles forming indicate a leak.
SHUT OFF GAS AND FIX ALL LEAKS IMMEDIATELY!
13.6 CHECKING FURNACE INPUT
The natural gas supply pressure should be a maximum of 7” w.c. and minimum of 5” w.c. The burner manifold
pressure is factory set to 3.5” w.c. High Fire, 1.4” w.c. Low Fire. The input rating of the furnace is based on
1000 Btu/ft.³ gas with a specifi c gravity of 0.6.
Since heating values for the gas vary geographically, the actual furnace input and output will vary accordingly. For example, natural gas with a 900 Btu/ft.³ heating value will reduce the input to 90% of the rated input.
Natural gas with a 1100 Btu/ft.³ heating value will increase the input to approximately 110% of the rated input.
This is not usually a problem; however, adjustments to compensate for this can be made by minor adjustments
to the burner manifold pressure or by changing the burner orifi ce size. Contact the fuel supplier for specifi c
heating content values.
Any adjustments to the burner manifold pressure should be carried out with the use of a manometer or calibrated Magnehelic® gauge. Do not adjust the gas valve pressure regulator more than ±0.3” w.c. Refer to
Figure 33.

25 feet (7.6 m), use 16 AWG; 50 feet (15 m), use 14 AWG.
15.1 SINGLE STAGE THERMOSTAT
The automatic heat staging option allows a single stage thermostat to be used with a two stage furnace. The
control provides a movable jumper (P5) to select between 5 minute and *10 minute automatic staging. Automatic staging time begins when the blower is energized after the heat blower delay period. If the jumper is in
the 5 minute position, the control will automatically start high heat after 5 minutes of continuous low heat operation. If the jumper is in the *10 minute position, the control will automatically start high heat after 10 minutes
of continuous low heat operation. Once high heat is started from automatic staging, the demand for high heat
remains until the heat call is satisfi ed. * Factory Setting
15.2 TWO STAGE THERMOSTAT
When connecting a two stage thermostat, the jumper (P5) must be in the
“NONE” position. The control runs high heat from the thermostat W2 demand.
FIGURE 38 - JUMPER P5
IOM
15.3 THERMOSTAT LOCATION
The thermostat should be located approximately 5 feet (1,5 m) above the fl oor, on an inside wall where there
is good natural air circulation, and where the thermostat will be exposed to average room temperatures. Avoid
locations where the thermostat will be exposed to cold drafts, heat from nearby lamps or appliances, exposure to
sunlight, heat from inside wall stacks, etc.

17.0 INITIAL STARTUP PROCEDURES
45
This furnace is equipped with a HSI (Hot Surface Ignition) device. Each time that the room thermostat calls for
heat, the HSI lights the main burners directly. See the lighting instructions on the furnace.
When the gas supply is initially connected to the furnace, the gas piping may be full of air. In order to purge
this air, it is recommended that the ground union be loosened until the odor of gas is detected. When gas is
detected, immediately retighten the union and check for leaks. Allow fi ve minutes for any gas to dissipate before
continuing with the start-up procedure. Be sure propere ventilation is available to dilute and carry away any
vented gas.
During initial start-up, it is not unusual for odor to come out of any room register. To ensure proper ventilation, it
is recommended to open windows and doors, before initial fi ring.
The furnace has a negative pressure switch that is a safety during a call for heat. The induced draft blower must
pull a negative pressure on the heat exchanger to close the negative pressure switch. The induce draft blower
must maintain at least the negative pressure switch set point for the furnace to operate. If the induced draft
blower fails to close or maintain the closing of the negative pressure switch, a “no heat call” would result.
NOTE
It is recommended that the drain trap assembly be primed before the initial startup. Refer to
the instructions on how to prime the condensate trap on the previous pages in this manual.
A dry trap will allow fl ue gases to fl ow through the recovery coil drain, which will prevent
the condensate from draining from the recovery coil. If enough condensate accumulates
in the recovery coil, the recovery coil pressure switch will sense this condition and break
its electrical contacts, and extinguish combustion. If this takes place, the induced blower
will stop after a brief post-purge cycle, the condensate will drain out and fi ll the trap. If the
thermostat is still calling for heat, the ignition sequence will start again after a 5 minute wait.
IOM

WARNING
!
SHOULD OVERHEATING OCCUR OR THE GAS BURNERS FAIL TO SHUT OFF, CLOSE THE
MANUAL GAS VALVE FOR THE FURNACE BEFORE SHUTTING OFF THE ELECTRICAL
POWER TO THE FURNACE. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE
RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
BEFORE RESTARTING THE FURNACE, CHECK ALL PLASTIC VENTS AND WIRES FOR
DAMAGE.
17.3 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
1. Room temperature drops causing the room thermostat call for fi rst stage heat by connecting “W1” to “R”.
The control verifi es the limit switch is closed and both low and high pressure switches are open. The
control energizes the exhauster motor on high speed and waits for the low pressure switch to close. The
exhauster remains on high speed and begins a 15 second pre-purge period. The high pressure switch is
ignored. If the low pressure switch does not close within 60 seconds, the control will fl ash “2” on the Red
Status LED, and de-energize the exhauster for 60 minutes.
2. When the 15 second pre-purge time has elapsed, the control energizes the HSI output for a 5 second
warm-up period (10 seconds on retries). The control energizes the low main gas valve. 4 seconds after the
gas is energized, the control de-energizes the HSI output and leaves the gas energized another 1 second
for fl ame proving. If fl ame is present at the end of trial for ignition time, the control leaves the gas valve
energized, exhauster on high speed, and begins heat blower on delay. The control always ignites on high
exhauster/low gas and ignores second stage call for heat until low fi re is established for 15 seconds.
3. Blower on delay time begins when the gas valve is energized. The control provides the ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) low heat speed signal when fl ame is proven, and starts a 30 second blower delay
before full capacity blower level.
4. When there is a demand for 2nd stage heat from thermostat W2 or automatic staging, the control changes
the exhauster from low to high speed. When high pressure switch closes, the control changes indoor blower speed from Low heat to High heat and energizes high gas output. If the high pressure switch is open
the Green LED will fl ash. If the high pressure switch is closed the Green LED will be on. High gas valve
drops out while High pressure switch is open because it is directly in series with the high pressure switch.
5. When the thermostat W2 call ends and W1 remains (two stage thermostat), the control de-energizes the
high gas output and immediately changes exhauster speed from high to low. With the thermostat heating contacts open (single stage thermostat), the fl ames extinguish immediately and the exhauster blower
stops after a 5 second post purge time.
6. Blower off delay is handled by the ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor). The control de-energizes the
ECM heat signal when the gas valve de-energizes, and starts a programmed delay period.
IN THE EVENT OF FLAME FAILURE:
If fl ame is lost, the control de-energizes the gas valve within 2 seconds, switches the exhauster motor to high
speed (if not already on high), and begins timing the inter-purge delay. The indoor blower motor will be energized and/or remain energized on heat speed for the programmed delay off time. When the inter-purge delay
is over, the control will re-cycle up to 5 fl ame losses (4 re-cycles) within a single call for heat before going into
lockout. The control fl ashes “8” on the Red LED if lockout is due to too many fl ame dropouts (1 hour lockout).
17.4 PROGRAMMABLE THERMOSTAT (OPTION)
The C97Series furnace has an optional programmable two stage Continental® Elite Thermostat. For instruction on how to operate and program this unit, please refer to the manual and installation instructions provided

18.0 AIR FLOW
47
For proper furnace operation, air fl ow over the heat exchanger is of utmost importance. Insuffi cient airfl ow ac-
celerates metal fatigue and possible failure in the heat exchanger, and decreases effi ciency. Excessive airfl ow
promotes accelerated corrosion of the heat exchanger.
TABLE 1 - RANGE OF TEMPERATURE RISE
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT BYPASS THIS STEP OF THE
START UP PROCEDURES.

ALL
Low Fire (LF) 20 - 50°F (11 - 28°C)
H12.15.4
18.1 TEMPERATURE RISE CHECK
When the duct system is complete and the air fi lter or fi lters are in place, determine if the airfl ow is correct for both
low and high fi re input rates.
1. Insert a duct thermometer in the supply air duct. The thermometer should be placed as close as practical to
the furnace, but out of the “line of sight” of the heat exchanger (this prevents false readings owing to radiant heat). Ensure that the thermometer location is within the duct air stream. Avoid locations such as the
inside radius of an elbow, etc.
2. Insert a duct thermometer in the return air duct as close to the furnace as practical. Ensure that the thermometer location will be unaffected by humidifi er bypass ducts, etc. Choose a location well within the main
air stream.
3. Operate the furnace long enough to obtain steady state conditions at both input rates (High Fire and Low Fire).
4. When the two thermometers have stabilized, usually within 5-8 minutes, compare the two readings. Subtract the return air temperature from the supply air temperature. The difference is the temperature rise, also
called ∆T.
5. Compare the measured ∆T to the temperature rise range shown on the rating plate.
Unless stated differently on the rating plate, the temperature rise should normally range between 35° to 65°F (20 to
36°C) High Fire, 20° to 50°F (11 to 28°C) Low Fire. When adjusting the temperature rise, the ideal temperature rise
is approximately mid-range.
If the measured ∆T is above the
approved temperature range, there
is too little air fl ow. It must be in-
creased by selecting the appropriate
“HEAT” jumper setting, removing restrictions in the ductwork, or adding
supply or return ductwork.
If the measured ∆T is too low, there
is too much air fl ow.

18.2 CALCULATING AIR FLOW
IOM
IOM
There are circumstances where it may be desirable to know the air fl ow delivery through the duct system,
such as when estimating the amount of air fl ow available for
air conditioning. This can be done by direct measurement with
electronic or sloped manometers and velometers, or by counting
the number of times the Amber CFM LED on the control board
fl ashes when equipped with ECM 2.3 motor. Each fl ash signifi es
100 CFM; count the fl ashes and multiply by 100 to determine
the actual CFM delivered (for example: 10 fl ashes x 100 = 1000
CFM =

• CFM is airfl ow in cubic feet per minute;
• ∆T is the temperature rise; and
• Output is the furnace output capacity

18.3 ADJUSTING BLOWER SPEEDS ON ECM 2.3 BLOWER MOTORS
!
WARNING
DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE FURNACE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
CHANGE THE BLOWER SPEED. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
This unit is factory set to run at the middle of the heating temperature rise range as
listed on the rating plate. The cooling speed is set to the maximum airfl ow designated
in the model number.
Three sets of 4 position movable jumpers are provided for Heat, Cool, and Adjust
taps for a variable speed motor. These tap jumpers apply signals to the ECM motor
without other interaction with the control board.
If the blower speeds require adjustment, follow these steps:
1. Remove the blower compartment door.
2. Locate the 4 position movable HEAT jumper to adjust heat speed.
3. Remove the jumper from position A and place it on the corresponding letter B, C, or D as required. Refer to TABLE 8 - HEATING SPEEDS.
4. To adjust the cooling airfl ow ECM 2.3, remove the COOL jumper
from position A, and place it on the corresponding letter B, C, or D.
Refer to Table 7A and 7B.
Moving the ADJUST jumper from the NORM to the (+) or (-) position
will cause the airfl ow to be increased or lowered by 15%.
The TEST position on the ADJUST tap is not used.

18.4 DEHUMIDIFICATION - ECM 2.3
49
For situations where humidity control is a problem, a dehumidifi cation feature has been built into the variable
speed motor. At the start of each cooling cycle, the variable speed motor will run at 82% of the rated airfl ow for
7.5 minutes. After 7.5 minutes has elapsed, the motor will increase to 100% of the rated airfl ow.
There are three jumper wires in front of the thermostat input terminal block that are used in different applications. These jumper wires may be cut when the option is not desired.
• The JW38 jumper connects Y1 to Y2 so that the ECM motor only recognizes on input. This is used with a
single state thermostat to allow you to get 2nd stage cooling.
• The JW39 jumper connects O to R for using a heat pump in the non-heat pump mode (cooling only).
• The JW40 jumper connects DEHUM to R for dehumidifi cation active all the time.
18.5 SETTING BLOWER “ON” AND “OFF” TIMINGS - ECM 2.3 MODELS ONLY
Blower on/off delays are handled by ECM motor programming. The control de-energizes the ECM heat signal
when the gas valve de-energizes. Features of this ECM variable speed motor are that it will deliver a constant
airfl ow within a wide range of external static pressures, and also includes:
Soft Start: This ECM variable speed motor will slowly ramp up to the required operating speed. This feature in
the heating cycle allows the heat exchanger to reach operating temperature before the set heat speed, which
minimizes noise and increases comfort.
Soft Stop: At the end of the heating or cooling cycle, the ECM variable speed motor will slowly ramp down.
This feature allows for increased energy effi ciency, and reduced noise levels.
18.6 CONTINUOUS FAN OPERATION
IOM
When the thermostat continuous fan (G) switch is on without a call for heat or cooling, the indoor fan is immediately
energized up to 50% of the cooling speed. The fan remains
energized as long as the call for fan remains without a call for
heat or cooling. This feature allows continuous circulation of
air between calls for heating or cooling.
If a call for heat (W) occurs during continuous fan, the blower
will remain energized, the call for heat overides the call for
fan.
If a call for cool (Y) occurs simultaneously with the call for fan
(G), the call for cool overrides the call for fan .

19.0 MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
!
WARNING
DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY TO THE FURNACE BEFORE ATTEMPTING
ANY MAINTENANCE. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK RESULTING IN
PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
!
CAUTION
LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHEN SERVICING CONTROLS. WIRING
ERRORS CAN CAUSE IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS OPERATION.
ALWAYS VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING.
!
!
19.1 AIR FILTER
The air fi lter should be inspected frequently and cleaned or replaced as necessary. We recommend a monthly
inspection at fi rst, perhaps coinciding with the arrival of the monthly fuel bill as a reminder. The frequency may
be increased or decreased depending on experience and conditions.
Dirty fi lters result in higher than normal operating temperatures, and lower effi ciency.
Some paper media high effi ciency fi lters, sometimes identifi ed as HEPA fi lters can do an effective and excel-
lent fi ltration of the air; however, some models may also cause a large pressure drop across the fi lter. The
contractor should assess the capabilities of the duct system to deliver suffi cient air fl ow if this type of fi lter is
considered.
RECOMMENDED: Electronic air cleaners using electrostatic precipitation to remove dust are an excellent fi ltra-
tion device when used in conjunction with a pre-fi lter. A
16” x 25” (406 mm x 635 mm) model is an ideal fi t with
this furnace in the case of a side mounted return air inlet.
The integrated furnace control is supplied with an electrical
terminal for use with electronic air cleaners.
NOTE
If two return air inlets are used, both must be equipped
with fi lters.
!
CAUTION
DO NOT OPERATE THE FURNACE FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OF TIME WITHOUT AN
AIR FILTER.
A PORTION OF THE DUST ENTRAINED IN THE AIR MAY LODGE IN THE SUPPLY AIR
DUCTWORK AND REGISTERS. ANY RECIRCULATED DUST PARTICLES WILL BE HEATED
AND CHARRED BY CONTACT WITH THE FURNACE HEAT EXCHANGER. THIS RESIDUE
WILL SOIL CEILINGS, WALLS, DRAPERY, CARPETS, AND OTHER HOUSEHOLD ARTICLES.
!
19.2 LUBRICATION
Both the exhauster motor and circulating fan motor are sealed bearing type motors. Neither requires routine
lubrication.
IMPORTANT:
THE MOTOR BEARINGS WERE PRE-LUBRICATED BY THE MOTOR MANUFACTURER. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO LUBRICATE THEM. EXCESS LUBRICATION WILL VOID THE WARRANTY,
SHORTEN THE SERVICE LIFE OF THE MOTORS, AND WILL ATTRACT THE BUILDUP OF
DUST AND DIRT.

Fault history may be cleared by holding the push button switch for more than 5 seconds.
19.6 INTERNAL LIGHTING SYSTEM
The C97 Series is equipped with internal LED service lights. One is located in the upper vestibule
area and the other is located in the lower blower compartment. These lights are only activated when
the bottom door is removed and the door switch is deactivated. The purpose of the interior lighting is
to ease servicing the unit.
The C97 Series furnace offers an optional ultraviolet light purifi cation kit
(W010-2785). This kit installs on the right side of the heat exchanger. This
unit helps to reduce the number of bacteria within the household and also
helps to clear the “A” coil for your air conditioning system of mold and
germs, increasing its effi ciency and reducing electrical consumption.
The supplied bulbs have an approximate operating life of 9,000 hours
(approximately one year with continuous fan). In order to remain effective, this bulb must be replaced at the appropriate interval. Instructions to
do so are as follows:
1. Switch off power to the furnace.
2. Remove the bottom door of the furnace.
3. Using 1/4” socket driver, remove the single mounting screw that retains the lamp bracket to the blower divi-
sion. The bulb unit can now be removed from the furnace. Be careful not to break the existing bulb when
removing it through the blower division.

2.0 SAFETY ISSUES
This furnace has been designed to deliver many years of effi cient, dependable service. With regular
maintenance, some of which requires the attention of a qualifi ed installer, service agency or gas supplier, some
of which you may do yourself, the furnace will operate satisfactorily over many heating seasons.
Please read this manual to familiarize yourself
with safety procedures, operation, and routine
maintenance procedures. Figure 1 is provided to
help identify the components of your furnace.
Do not use this furnace if any part has been
under water. A fl ood-damaged furnace is
extremely dangerous. Attempts to use the
furnace can result in fi re or explosion. A qualifi ed
service agency should be contacted to inspect
the furnace and to replace all gas controls,

Most natural gas systems and all LP gas systems have a service
regulator located near the point where the gas piping enters the
building.
The propane tank will normally have an additional fi rst stage
regulator located at the tank outlet valve. Alll of these regulators
(located outdoors) will have a vent. (Figure 2)
It is important for these vents to remain clear. Do not allow moisture,
which could freeze, to build up in the vent. If you see moisture
building up in the regulator vent, contact your gas supplier.
OBSTRUCTION OF THE AIR VENT ON AN LP (PROPANE) CYLINDER OR TANK
REGULATOR CAN CAUSE EXPLOSION OR FIRE RESULTING IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE, SEVER PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
YOUR GAS SUPPLIER SHOULD PERIODICALLY INSPECT AND CLEAN THE AIR
VENT SCREEN TO PREVENT ANY OBSTUCTION. KEEP PROTECTIVE REGULATOR
COVER IN PLACE, AS EXPOSURE TO THE ELEMNENTS CAN CAUSE ICE BUILD UP
AND REGULATOR FAILURE.
2.1 GENERAL SAFETY RULES
1. Combustible materials should not be stored against or around the furnace. Keep the furnace area clear
and free from all combustible materials such as newspapers, rags, cardboard, foam, plastic, paper backed
fi berglass insulation, clothing, etc. This applies especially to gasoline and other fl ammable vapors and liquids.
2. This furnace is CSA certifi ed as a Category IV indirect or direct vent appliance. It is designed to operate
as a single pipe (inside combustion air) or two pipe (outdoor combustion air) system. A furnace needs
adequate amounts of combustion air to operate properly. Do not block or obstruct the air-intake terminal on
the furnace, or air openings supplying combustion air to the area where the furnace is installed, if operating
as a single pipe system. There are many areas from which your furnace could be receiving combustion
air including from within the heated area (inside air), from outdoors, from an attic or crawl space. If
renovations are done, be sure that air supply openings are not inadvertently covered over with insulation,
vapor barrier, or similar construction material.
3. All doors and panels must be in place during normal furnace operation. Attempting to operate the furnace
with missing doors or panels could lead to the creation of carbon monoxide gas.
4. If the furnace is installed in a confi ned space or if you intend to build a furnace room where insulation
is present, be aware that some insulating materials are combustible. Do not allow building insulating
materials to come into contact with the furnace.
5. Any additions, alterations or conversions required in order for the furnace to properly match the application
requirements must be done by a qualifi ed installation contractor, service agency or gas supplier, using
factory specifi ed or approved parts.
6. Familiarize yourself with the location of the furnace gas manual shut-off valve and any electrical switch,
fuse or circuit breaker associated with the furnace.
7. Do not allow snow, ice or debris to accumulate around the outdoor furnace exhaust and combustion
air intake terminals. Blockage of the exhaust or combustion intake terminals can result in inadequate
performance or nuisance shut-downs.
8. Familiarize yourself with the location of your furnace fi lter or fi lters. A blocked air fi lter will reduce effi ciency ,
increase fuel consumption, raise the furnace operating temperature, and shorten the life of furnace components.
9. Do not cover return air grills and supply air registers with drapes, curtains, throw rugs, etc.
10. Avoid shutting off supply air registers in the interests of saving heat. While there is some validity to this
practice with space heating, there is little to be gained in central heating systems. The furnace requires a
quantity of air passing over the heat exchanger to operate within design temperatures. Reducing the number
of supply air registers available for air delivery may have the unforeseen consequence of raising the furnace
operating temperature, reducing furnace effi ciency, and shortening the life of the furnace components.

2. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
UM
3. Ensure that all supply air registers and return air grills are open.
4. Turn off the electric power to the furnace.
5. Remove the burner access door.
6. Ensure that the furnace manual shut-off valve is in the “ON” position. The valve handle is normally in-line
with the gas pipe and valve body when it is in the “ON” position; perpendicular to the gas piping and valve
body when it is in the “OFF” position.
7. Turn the manual gas valve switch to the “OFF” position. (Figure 3)
8. Wait 5 minutes to clear out any gas. If, after this time you smell gas, STOP. Turn the appliance manual
shut-off valve to the “OFF” position. If burning LP gas, smell for gas near the fl oor since propane and
butane are both heavier than air. If after this time you do not smell gas, continue to the next step.
9. Turn the manual gas valve switch to the “ON” position.
10. Replace the burner access door, ensuring that it is properly in place.
11. Restore the electric power to the furnace.
12. Adjust the thermostat to the desired setting. If the thermostat also controls an air conditioning system,
ensure that the thermostat system switch is in the “HEAT” or “AUTO” mode.
If this is the fi rst time that the furnace has undergone a trial ignition since installation, or if there has been work
done on the gas lines, the furnace might not light because of air trapped in the gas supply line.
Simply turn the thermostat down to its lowest setting, wait 5 minutes, then adjust the thermostat to the desired
setting. If the problem persists, proceed to “Furnace Shut-Down Procedure” and call your Installer, service
agency or gas supplier.

3.2 SHUTTING DOWN THE FURNACE
1. Set the thermostat to its lowest setting.
2. Shut off electric power to the furnace.
3. Turn the furnace manual shut-off valve to the “OFF” position.
4. Remove the burner access door, turn the manual gas valve switch to the “OFF” position, then re-install the
burner access door.
IMPORTANT:
If you intend to be away from home for lengthy periods of time during the non-heating season,
it is advisable to follow the furnace shut down procedure.
3.3 OPERATING TIPS
1. Clean air fi lters maximize effi ciency, and reduce heating costs.
2. During the heating season, keep windows and doors closed to reduce the heating load on the system.
3. Avoid excessive use of kitchen exhaust hoods and other exhaust fans to reduce the heating load on the
system.
4. Arrange the furniture and drapes so that the supply air registers and return air grills are unobstructed.
5. If you have a perimeter duct system, ideally, the warm air should bathe the interior walls. Avoid the use of
plastic defl ectors on the supply air registers which tend to short circuit the warm air straight into the return
air grills.
6. Avoid placing heat producing appliances such as televisions, radios, lamps, etc. in a location to infl uence
the thermostat.
7. Keep combustible articles at least 3 feet (.91 m) away from the furnace. Do not block access for servicing
the furnace Do not use the combustion air or exhaust piping as a hanger for clothes or anything else.

4.0 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE BY HOMEOWNER
4.1 AIR FILTER
UM
!
CAUTION
DO NOT OPERATE YOUR FURNACE OR AIR CONDITIONER FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF
TIME WITHOUT AN AIR FILTER.
A portion of the dust entrained in the air may temporarily lodge in the air duct runs and the supply registers.
Any recirculated dust particles will be heated and charred by coming into contact with the heat exchanger.
This residue will soil ceilings, walls, drapes, carpets, furniture, and other household articles.
!
WARNING
DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE FURNACE BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY
MAINTENANCE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK RESULTING IN
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
Follow air fi lter manufacturer’s instructions for removing and cleaning the fi lter. Allow the fi lter to dry thoroughly
before reinstallation and never operate the blower fan with a wet fi lter. Consult your installation contractor or
service technician if you have any questions on fi lters.
CAUTION
!
IF CLEANING RATHER THAN REPLACING THE FILTER, UNLESS THE FILTER IS
THOROUGHLY WASHED AND DRIED, BE SURE THAT THE FILTER IS RE-INSTALLED
WITH THE AIRFLOW DIRECTION IDENTICAL TO ITS PREVIOUS USE. REVERSING
THE FILTER WILL CAUSE DUST TRAPPED WITHIN THE FILTER TO BREAK FREE AND
RECIRCULATE WITHIN THE DUCT SYSTEM.
!
!
!
4.2 LUBRICATION
The circulating air blower, and exhauster motors have sealed bearings. The bearings contain permanent
special purpose lubricants. Attempting to force common oil into the circulating and exhauster assembly motor
bearings will deteriorate the original lubricant and shorten bearing life.
4.3 ROUTINE EXAMINATION
IMPORTANT:
We recommend that your furnace and exhaust/combustion air vents be checked by a qualifi ed
service technician once a year.
It is good practice to give a quick inspection of your furnace each time you inspect or clean the air fi lter. Things
to check:
• Check the furnace for obvious signs of deterioration.
• Check the venting and combustion air piping to ensure that it is still fastened to the furnace. It should not
sag, and should have a ¼” (6 mm) per foot (305 mm) slope upwards, to the outside wall or termination.
• There should be no water marks on the fl oor under the venting. Water marks may indicate a leaking pipe joint.
• All ductwork should be secured to the furnace, and all ductwork should be solidly supported throughout the
heating system.
W415-1080 / A / 08.28.13
Page 67
• Water should fl ow easily through the condensate drain line. You may be able to observe this while the
furnace is operating if your condensate drain line from the drain trap assembly terminates at a fl oor drain
or sump pit. If clear plastic was used, it may yellow with age; however, the contents should be reasonably
clear. Excess debris in the drain line may indicate a problem which should be referred to your service
contractor. If the drain lines are opaque, your service technician will check them during the annual
servicing.
• The gas burner should be observed from time to time during the heating season to ensure that the fl ames
are clean and blue. A bit of orange color in the fl ame is not likely to be a problem and is probably dust
particles burning. If you observe lazy yellow fl ames, call your heating or service contractor immediately.
The yellow fl ames inevitably lead to soot-ups.
• The UV light should be checked after 1 year of continuous run or 9,000 hours of operation. Replace bulb
when necessary.
• The combustion air and exhaust terminals should be inspected occasionally to ensure that they are free of
obstructions and debris.
4.4 ANNUAL INSPECTION/SERVICE
It is recommended that the furnace be inspected annually by a qualifi ed installation contractor, service agency
or fuel supplier. Your annual inspection will normally cover the following:
HEA T EXCHANGER - The heat exchanger should be inspected for corrosion. The fl ue passages (heat exchanger
tubes) should be free of scale or excessive corrosion.
BURNERS - The burners should be inspected to ensure that they are free of deterioration.
67
UM
!
CAUTION
!
BE CAREFUL WHEN WORKING ON THE BURNER ASSEMBLY. THE HOT SURFACE
IGNITER IS FRAGILE AND CAN BREAK EASILY.
The fl ame sensor should be inspected and cleaned with fi ne steel wool or Scotch-Brite™ scrubbing pad. The
wiring connection should be checked to ensure that it is tight and corrosion free.
DRAINAGE - The condensate drainage system should be inspected and cleaned if necessary. If the drain trap
assembly, or any other component becomes blocked, condensate may backup into the secondary or primary
heat exchanger causing nuisance trip-outs of the pressure switches or roll out switch. The condensate should
be observed for signs of dirt, carbon, debris, etc.
CIRCULATING FAN - The condition of the circulating fan should be checked to ensure that it is free of excessive dust buildup, debris, etc. The mechanical fasteners should be inspected and checked for proper tightness
and parts alignment. The motor ventilation ports should be cleaned if necessary to prevent restriction to cooling
by air over the motor.
ELECTRICAL - All electrical connections should be examined to ensure that they are tight and corrosion free.
Repair any connections that have become loose or corroded.
FURNACE OPERA TION - The furnace should be cycled during the annual inspection and servicing to:
1. Test all safety related controls.
2. Determine that the temperature rise falls within the range shown on the appliance rating plate.
3. Ensure that the burner ignition is smooth and that the fl ames are smooth soft blue, and not impinging on
the heat exchanger.
4. Ensure gas meter is timed, and/or furnace manifold pressure checked to confi rm the furnace is operating
at the input listed on the rating plate.
UV LAMP - The UV light should be checked after 1 year of continuous run or 9,000 hours of operation. Replace
bulb when necessary .

4.5 FURNACE APPEARANCE
The furnace exterior fi nish is a durable automotive like coating. It may be washed with mild soap if necessary.
Galvanized metal surfaces require no maintenance.
4.6 CLEANING
It is advisable to keep dust build-up on warm surfaces to a minimum, since dust, in some cases, can be a
combustible.
UM
Dust build-up in the circulating fan can impair blower performance; therefore, reduce effi ciency .
The recovery coil is located immediately above the blower assembly. Over time, it may become coated with
dust. To clean the recovery coil:
1. Disconnect electrical power to the furnace.
2. Remove the blower access door
3. Remove the screws fastening the blower assembly to the blower division panel.
4. Unplug harness from blower division, junction box and remove thermostat wires (label wires to correct
position).
5. Pull the blower assembly out.

WARNING
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE FURNACE BEFORE REMOVING
THE BURNER COMPARTMENT ACCESS DOOR.
!
CAUTION
THE FURNACE GAS TRAIN IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE AS A SEALED UNIT. BE SURE
THAT THE BURNER COMPARTMENT ACCESS DOOR IS PROPERLY IN PLACE BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE FURNACE.
The furnace achieves its high effi ciency in three general areas. First, there is no wasteful standing pilot. The
furnace consumes no gas in between cycles. Secondly , the furnace is designed to allow very small amounts of
excess air in the combustion process. Older furnaces had heat exchangers which were commonly 40% larger
than necessary for complete combustion. While this prevented the creation of carbon monoxide, the heated
excess air was expelled up the chimney where it could not benefi t the interior of the home. Special safety
controls now prevent the formation of carbon monoxide.
The third general area is the recovery of the latent heat contained in the fl ue gas, which is comprised of water
vapor and carbon dioxide. By condensing the fl ue gas in the furnace recovery coil, heat that would otherwise be
wasted to the outdoors, is captured and redirected into the duct system where it contributes to home comfort.
Each pound of condensation formed releases approximately 970 Btu’s. Your furnace may condense up to ½
gallon (1.89 L), (5 pounds) (2.27 kg) of water per hour if running continuously .
This condensation must be properly disposed into a sump or drainage system. The condensate lines must
remain clear and free fl owing. Do not allow plastic drain lines to become pinched or kinked. A blocked drain
line can cause the furnace to operate erratically, or not at all.

IMPORTANT:
Y our furnace should be cleaned and inspected annually by a trained and qualifi ed service
technician. Your service technician has the knowledge and test equipment to determine
the condition of your furnace.
4.7 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION - ECM 2.3
1. Room temperature drops causing the room thermostat call for fi rst stage heat by connecting “W1” to “R”.
The control verifi es the limit switch is closed and both the low and high pressure switches are open. The
control energizes the exhauster motor on high speed and waits for the low pressure switch to close. The
exhauster remains on high speed and begins a 15 second pre-purge period. The high pressure switch is
ignored. If the low pressure switch does not close within 60 seconds, the control will fl ash “2” on the Status
LED, and de-energize the exhauster for 60 minutes.
W415-1080 / A / 08.28.13

2. When the 15 second pre-purge time has elapsed, the control energizes the Hot Surface Igniter (HSI)
output for a 5 second warm-up period (10 seconds on retries). The control energizes the low main gas
valve. 4 seconds after the gas is energized, the control de-energized the HSI output and leaves the gas
energized another 1 second for fl ame proving. If fl ame is present at the end of the trial for ignition time,
the control leaves the gas valve energized, inducer on high speed, and begins heat blower on delay. The
control always ignites on high inducer/low gas and ignores second stage call for heat until low heat is
established for 15 seconds.
3. Blower on delay time begins when the gas valve is energized. The control provides the ECM (Electronically
Commutated Motor) low heat speed signal when fl ame is proven, and starts a 30 second soft start (slowly
ramp up) blower delay before full capacity blower level.
nd
4. When there is a demand for 2
the inducer from low to high speed. When high pressure switch closes, the control changes indoor blower
speed from Low heat to High heat and energizes high gas output. If the High pressure switch is open the
Green LED will fl ash. If the High pressure switch is closed the Green LED will be on. High gas valve drops
out while high pressure switch is open because it is directly in series with the high pressure switch.
5. When the thermostat W2 call ends and W1 remains (two stage thermostat), the control
de-energizes the high gas output and immediately changes inducer speed from high to low. With the
thermostat heating contacts open (single stage thermostat), the fl ames extinguish immediately and the
induced blower stops after a 5 second post purge time.
6. Blower off delay is handled by the ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor). The control de-energizes the
ECM heat signal when the gas valve de-energizes, and starts a programmed soft stop (slowly ramp down)
delay period.

4.8 VARIATIONS
If your system includes air conditioning, your thermostat will likely have two switches. The fi rst switch is the
system switch. The switch settings usually include HEAT, COOL, and OFF. Some thermostats have system
switches which include HEAT, COOL, AUTO, and OFF. The system switch must be in the HEAT or AUTO
position for the furnace to run.
The second switch is the fan switch. It usually has settings of ON and AUTO. The fan switch may be in either
position when using the furnace. If the fan switch is set to ON, the main blower will run continuously.
4.9 TERMINATIONS
The combustion air and exhaust terminals should be inspected occasionally to ensure that they are free of
obstructions and debris. If screens were used in either terminal, ensure that they are free of debris, corrosion,
or anything preventing the free fl ow of air.
