Use methods described here to provide
combustion and ventilation air.
Failure to provide adequate combustion and
ventilation air can result in personal injury
and/or death.
Furnaces require ventilation openings to provide sufficient air for
proper combustion and ventilation of flue gases. All duct or open-
ings for supplying combustion and ventilation air must comply
with the gas and electrical codes, or inthe absence of local codes,
the applicable national codes.
When the installation is complete, check that all appliances have
adequate combustion air and are venting properly. See Venting
And Combustion Air Check in this manual.
ContaminatedCombustionAir
Installations in certain areas or types of structures will increase
the exposure to chemicals or Halogens which may harm the fur-
nace. These instances must use only outside air for combustion.
The following areas or types of structures may contain or have ex-
posure to the substances listed below. The installation must be
evaluated carefully as it may be necessary to provide outside air
for combustion.
• Commercial buildings.
• Buildings with indoor pools.
• Furnaces installed in laundry rooms.
• Furnaces installed in hobby or craft rooms.

UnconfinedSpace Installation
Poison carbon monoxide gas hazard.
Most homes will require additional air.
An unconfined space or homes with tight construc-
tion may not have adequate air infiltration for proper
combustion and ventilation of flue gases.
Failure to supply additional air by means of ventila-
tion grilles or ducts could result in personal injury
and/or death.
An unconfined space is defined as an area having a minimum vol-
ume of 50 cubic feet(1.4m 3)per 1,000 Btuh total input rating for all
gas appliances in area.
Adjoining rooms can be considered part of an unconfined area if
there are no doors between rooms.
An attic or crawl space may be considered an unconfined space
provided there are adequate ventilation openings directly to out-
doors. Openings MUST remain open and NOT have any means
of being closed off. Ventilation openings to outdoors MUST be at
least1squareinch(25mm2)offreeareaper4,000BTUHoftotal

Read and follow all instructions in this section.
Failure to properly vent this furnace can result in
property damage, personal injury and/or death.
Install the vent in compliance with codes of the country having ju-
risdiction and the GAMA venting tables, local codes or ordi-
nances and these instructions.
These fan assisted combustion furnaces have been classified as
Category I appliances which means that they MUST operate with
a negative vent pressure. Category III classification approval has
been obtained for these furnaces if vented horizontally with a
combination single wall metal/high temperature plastic
venting system.
Category! Safe Venting Requirements
NOTE: The following instructions comply with the United States
National Fuel Gas Code.
Ifa Category I vent passes through an attic, any concealed
space or floor, use ONLY Type B or Type L double wall vent
pipe. If vent pipe passes through interior wall, use type B
vent pipe with ventilated thimble ONLY.
2. Do NOT vent furnace into any chimney serving an open
fireplace or solid fuel burning appliance.
Use the same diameter Category I connector or pipe as the
furnace minimum vent size as noted on label adjacent to
the flue outlet, except as permitted by the GAMA venting
tables.
4.
Keep vertical Category I vent pipe or vent connector runs
as short and direct as possible.
5.
Vertical outdoor runs of type B or ANY single wall vent pipe
below the roof line are NOT permitted.
6.
Slope all horizontal runs upwards away from furnace a
minimum of 1/4" (6mm) per foot.
7.
Support all horizontal vent pipe every 6' (2m) using proper
clamps and metal straps.
8.
Check existing gas vent or chimney to ensure they meet
clearances and local codes.
Some provincial codes and local municipalities require ventilation
or make-up air be brought into the conditioned space as replace-
ment air. Whichever method is used, the mixed return air temper-
ature across the heat exchanger MUST not fall below 60°F (15 ° c)
or flue gases will condense in the heat exchanger. This will short-
en the life of the heat exchanger and possibly void your warranty.
9.
The furnace MUST be connected to a factory built chimney
or vent complying with a recognized standard. Venting
into a masonry or concrete chimney is only permitted
as outlined in the GAMA venting tables or Masonry
Chimney section in these instructions.
10.
All Category I and Category Ill pipe MUST be attached to
the factory provided 3" vent pipe where itexits the furnace.
Do NOT remove the factory installed 3" vent pipe from vent
enclosure. At least two (2) holes are recommended to at-
tach pipe firmly. Ifyour furnace came with a section of prein-
stalled vent pipe, inspect connection to ensure connection
is tight and all screws are in place.
Poison carbon monoxide gas hazard.
If this furnace is replacing a previously
common-vented furnace, it may be necessary
to resize the existing chimney liner or vent to
prevent over sizing problems for the other
remaining appliances(s). See codes of country
having jurisdiction.
Failure to properly vent this furnace or other
appliances can result in property damage,
personal injury and/or death.
Venting and Combustion Air Check
NOTE: Ifthis installation removes an existing furnace from a vent-
ing system serving one or more other appliances, and to make
sure there is adequate combustion air for all appliances, MAKE
THE FOLLOWING CHECK.
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2.
Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and hori-
zontal pitch to ensure there is no blockage or restriction,
leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies which could cause
an unsafe condition.
3.
Insofar as is practical, close all doors and windows and all
doors between the space in which the appliance(s) remain-
ing connected to the venting system are located and other
spaces of the building.
4.
Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to
the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as
range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate
at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
Close fireplace dampers.
Follow the lighting instructions for each appliance being in-
5 Venting to Existing MasonryChimney
spected. Adjust thermostat so appliance(s) will operate
continuously.
Allow 5 minutes of main burner operation, then check for
spillage at the draft hood relief opening of each appliance.
Use the flame of a match or candle (Figure 4).
Figure 4 Vent Check
NOTE: The tables and notes referred to below are found in the
most recent printing of the GAMA venting tables.
Dedicated venting of one fan assisted furnace into any ma-
sonry chimney is prohibited. The chimney must first be lined
with either type Bvent sized in accordance with tables t or 2 or a
listed single wall, rnetal lining systern, sized in accordance with
the following:
Vent Pipe "-'_1 I A/ Draft Hood
Typical Gas
Water Heater
Match
! I
7. After it has been determined that each appliance vents
properly, return doors, windows, appliances etc. to their
normal condition.
8. If improper venting is observed, the cause MUST be cor-
rected.
NOTE: If flame pulls towards draft hood, this indicates sufficient
infiltration air.
4. HorizontalVenting
This section of the installation instructions deal with both Catego-
ry I and Category III installation.
CAUTION
It isthe responsibility of the installer to properly termi-
nate the vent and provide adequate shielding, This is
essential in order to avoid water/ice damage to build-
ing, shrubs and walk-ways.
Listed, corrugated metallic chimney liner systems in masonry
chimneys shall be sized by using GAMA tables 1 or 2 for dedi-
cated venting and GAMA tables 3 or 4 for common venting with
the maximum capacity reduced by 20% (0.80 X maximum capac-
ity) and the minimum capacity as shown in the applicable table.
Corrugated metal vent systems installed with bends or offsets re-
quire additional reduction of 10% of the vent capacity for each 90°
elbow.
NOTE: Two(2) 45 ° elbows are equivalent to one (1 90° elbow.
Combined Venting into a MasonryChimney
Venting into a masonry or concrete chimney is only per-
mitted as outlined in the GAMA venting tables. Follow all safe
venting requirernents.
NOTE: See section"Masonry Chimney Venting"
• Avoid any installation where leakage of flue products
can communicate with indoor living areas.
• Use Only Vent System Pipe & Fittings Constructed of Amoco
Radel® A-200 Material from the following manufacturers:
• Only Ultra Vent@ (date code 08/01/93 or later), Plex-
vent "II"®, & Selvent®, which are manufactured with
Radel A-200®.
Category I FurnacesWith External Power Venters
Inorder to maintain a Category I classification offan assisted fur-
naces when vented horizontally with sidewall termination, a pow-
er venter is REQUIRED to maintain a negative pressure in the
venting system. Please consult the Fields Controls Co. or Tjern-
lund Products, Inc. for power venters certified for use with our fur-
naces.
Category III Furnaces Without External PowerVenters
A horizontal vent system with side wall termination WITHOUT a
power venter MUST use a combination single wall metal/high
temperature plastic venting system and sealants and be installed
as shown in this section. Furnaces using this type of venting sys-
tem have a Category III classification.
Horizontal Venting With Metal/Plastic Materials
When metal/plastic venting materials are used to horizontally
vent an induced draft furnace, positive pressure exists throughout
the horizontal vent. Special high temperature plastic pipe and fit-
tings must be used and the furnaces using this method of side wall
venting have a Category III classification.
Important Installation Requirementsfor Category II!
Venting withThermoplastic Materials
• Install Only in UNINHABITED Spaces (i.e.: crawl spaces, at-
tics, vent chases, etc.)
• Be Thoroughly Familiar with the Vent Manufacturers Current

Gas Supply Requirements
• Use only the Type of gas approved for this furnace. See rat-
ing plate for approved gas type.
• Gas input must not exceed the rated input shown on the rat-
ing plate. Overfiring will result in failure of heat exchanger
and cause dangerous operation.
• Do not allow minimum supply pressure to vary downward.
Doing so will decrease input to furnace. Refer to Table 2 for
Gas supply and manifold pressures.
/SJ
The gas meter can be used to measure input to furnace. Rating is
based on a natural gas BTU content of 1,000 BTU's per cubic foot.
Check with gas supplier for actual BTU content.
1. Turn OFF gas supply to all appliances other than furnace
and start furnace.
2. Time how many seconds it takes the smallest dial on the
gas meter to make one complete revolution. Refer to Ex-
ample.
Note: If meter uses a 2 cubic foot dial divide results (se-
conds) by two.

OperationAbove 2000' Altitude
These units may be used at full input rating when installed at alti-
tudes up to 2000'. When installed above 2000', the input must be
decreased 4% for each 1000' above sea level. This may be ac-
complished by a simple adjustment of manifold pressure or an ori-
fice change, or a combination of a pressure adjustment and an
orifice change. The changes required depend on the installation
altitude and the heating value of the fuel. TABLES 4 & 5 show the
proper furnace manifold pressure and gas orifice size to achieve
proper performance based on elevation above sea level for both
natural gas and propane.
To use the natural gas table, first consult your local gas utility for
the heating value of the gas supply. Select the heating value on
the vertical border and follow across the table until the appropriate
elevation for the installation is reached. The first value in the box
at the intersection of the heating value and elevation will be the
manifold pressure required. If a gas orifice change is also re-
quired, the box is shaded. The required orifice size is shown at the
bottom of the table.

LP gases.
5. Install a drip leg no less than 3" long to trap dirt and mois-
ture before it can enter gas valve.
6. Provide a 1/8"plug for test gauge connection immediately
up stream of gas supply connection to furnace.
7. Use two pipe wrenches when making connections to pre-
vent gas valve from turning.
8. Flexible corrugated metal gas connector may NOT be used
inside the furnace or be secured or supported by the fur-
nace or ductwork.
9. Properly size gas pipe to handle combined appliance load
or run gas pipe directly from gas meter or LP gas regulator.
10. Install correct pipe size for run length and furnace rating.
11. Measure pipe length from gas meter or LP second stage
regulator.
Fire or explosion hazard.
Gas connector must be properly installed, cannot
go through the side of the furnace, and can not be
used inside the furnace.
Failure to properly install gas connector can
result in property damage, bodily injury and/or
death.
Additional LP Piping Requirements
• Have a licensed LP gas dealer make all connections at
storage tank and check all connections from tank to fur-
nace.
• If copper tubing is used, it MUST comply with limitation set
in Local Codes, or in the absence of local codes, the gas
codes of the country having jurisdiction.
• Two-stage regulation of LP gas is recommended.
FinalCheck
• Test all pipe for leaks.
• If orifices where changed, make sure they are checked for
leaks.
• During pressure testing of gas piping system, observe the
following:
a. If test pressure does not exceed 1/2 PSIG, isolate the
furnace by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
b. If test pressure exceeds 1/2 PSIG, the furnace and its in-
dividual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply system.
• To check for leaks apply soap suds or a liquid detergent to
each joint. Bubbles forming indicate a leak.
• Do not use an open flame to test for gas leaks. Fire or ex-
plosion could occur.
• Correct even the smallest leak at once.
Fire or explosion hazard.
Liquid petroleum (LP) gas is heavier than air and
will settle and remain in low areas and open
depressions.
Thoroughly ventilate area and dissipate gas. Do
NOT use a match or open flame to test for leaks,
or attempt to start up furnace before thoroughly
ventilating area.
An open flame or spark can result in property
damage, personal injury and/or death.
6. ElectricalWiring
Power SupplyWiring
The furnace MUST be electrically wired and grounded in accor-
dance with local codes, or inthe absence of local codes, the appli-
cable national codes.
Field wiring connections must be made inside the furnace con-
nection box. A suitable strain relief should be used at the point the
wires exit the furnace casing.
Copper conductors must be used. Line voltage wires should be
sized for the input amps stated on the rating plate. Furnace should
be connected to its own separate circuit.
Thermostat
Thermostat location has an important effect on the operation of
the unit. Follow instructions included with thermostat for correct
mounting and wiring.
Low voltage connections to furnace must be made on terminal
board to fan control.
Set thermostat heat anticipator in accordance with the Technical

Temperature Rise Check
The blower speed MUST be set to give the correct air temperature
rise through the furnace as marked on the rating plate. Tempera-
ture rise is the difference between supply and return air tempera-
tures.
To check temperature rise,use the following procedure:
1. Place thermometers in supply and return air registers as
close to furnace as possible, avoiding direct radiant heat
from heat exchangers.
2. Operate furnace continuously for 15 minutes with all regis-
ters and duct dampers open.
3. Take reading and compare with range specified on rating
plate.
4.
Ifthe correct amount of temperature rise is NOT obtained, it
may be necessary to change blower speed. A higher blow-
er speed will lower the temperature rise. A lower blower
speed will increase the temperature rise.

Main Burner Flame Check
Allow the furnace to run approximately 10 minutes then inspect
the main burner and pilot flames. See Figure 17.
Check for the following (Figure 17):
• Stable and blue flames. Dust may cause orangetips or wisps of
yellow, but flames MUST NOT have solid, yellow tips.
• Flames extending directly from burner into heat exchanger.
• Flames do NOT touch sides of heat exchanger
If any problems with main burner flames are noted, it may be nec-
essary to adjust gas pressures, or check for drafts.
Turn OFF power to furnace before changing speed
taps.
Failure to do so can result in personal injury and/or
death.
NOTE: The speed taps that the manufacture sets from the factory
for this product are based on a nominal 400 CFM per ton cooling
and the basic mid range on the temperature rise for heating.
Since the manufacturer cannot establish the static pressure that
will be applied to the unit, it is the responsibility of the installer
dealer/contractor to select the proper speed taps for the applica-
tion when the unit is installed.
If it is necessary to change speeds, refer to steps below.
1.
Refer to Furnace Wiring Diagram for location of the heating
and cooling speed taps located on the electronic fan con-
trol as well as location of unused blower motor speed
leads. Use the chart (Table 7 ) to determine the blower mo-
tor speed settings.

Change the heat or cool blower motor speed by removing
the motor lead from the "Heat" or "Cool" terminal and re-
place it with the desired motor speed lead from the "Un-
used Motor Lead" location. Connect the wire previously
removed from the "Heat" or "Cool" terminal to the vacated
"Unused Motor Lead" terminal.
Ifthe same speed must be used for both heating and cool-
ing, remove the undesired motor speed lead from the
"Heat" or "Cool" terminal and connect that lead to the
open terminal at "Unused Motor Lead" location. Attach a
jumper between the "Heat" and "Cool" terminals and the
remaining motor speed lead.
Note: For motors with (4) speed leads, it will be necessary
to tape off the terminal of the motor speed lead removed
from the "Heat" or "Cool" terminal with electrical tape since
an open terminal will not be available at the "Unused Mo-
tor Lead" location.
Continuous Fan Operation
A terminal is provided on the electronic fan control located in the
circulating blower compartment for operation of the continuous
fan option. This connection is intended for the low speed motor
tap, and has a lower contact rating (8 amps) than the heat and
cool taps. When the low speed blower lead is connected to this
terminal, this will provide low speed blower operation whenever
the other two speeds (Heat or Cool) are not energized.
Thoroughly check the system after modification to ensure the
proper operation of the circulating air blower in all modes of op-
eration.
Separate speed selectionsfor Heat, Cool, and Continuous
Fan
Connect low speed lead from circulating motor to the "Cont" ter-
minal at the electronic fan control. The appropriate motor leads
should already be connected to the "Heat" and "Cool" terminals.
Heating andContinuous Blower Speed the Same
If it is necessary to operate the heating speed and continuous
blower speed using the same blower speed, connect a jumper be-
tween the "Heat" and "Cont" terminals on the electronic fan con-
trol.
Note: There should be only ONE motor lead going to the "Heat"
and "Cont" terminals.
9. FurnaceMaintenance
CAUTION
It is recommended that the furnace be inspected and serv-
iced on an annual basis (before the heating season) by a
qualified service technician.
