Safety Rules
Your unit is built to provide many years of s afe and dependable
serviceprovidingit is properly installedandmaintained.However,
abuse and/or improper use can shorten the life of the unit and
create hazards for you, the owner.
A. The U.S. ConsumerProduct Safety Commission encourages
installation of carbon monoxide alarms. There can be various
sources of carbon monoxide in a building or dwelling. The
sources could be gas--fired c lothes dryers, gas cooking
stoves, water heaters, furnaces, gas--fired fireplaces, wood
fireplaces, and several other items.
Carbon monoxide can cause serious bodily injury and/or
death. Carbon monoxide or “CO” is a colorless and odorless
gas produced when fuel is not burned completely or whenthe
flame does not receive sufficient oxygen.
Therefore,tohelpalertpeopleofpotentiallydangerouscarbon
monoxide levels, you should have a commercially available
carbon monoxide alarm that is listed by a nationally recognizedtestingagencyinaccordancewithUnderwritersLaboratories Inc. Standard for Single and Multiple Station Carbon
Monoxide Alarms, ANSI/UL 2034 or the CSA 6.19--01 Residential Carbon Alarming Devices installed and maintained in
thebuildingordwellingconcurrentlywiththegas--firedfurnace

recommended by the alarm manufacturer’s installation instructions.
B. There can be numerous sources of fire or smokein a building
or dwelling. Fire or smoke can cause serious bodily injury,
death, and/or property damage. Therefore, in order to alert
peopleofpotentiallydangerousfireorsmoke,youshouldhave
fireextinguisherandsmokealarmslistedbyUnderwritersLaboratories installed and maintained in the building or dwelling
(see Note below).
Note: The manufacturer of your furnace does not test any alarms
and makes no representations regarding any brand or type
of alarms.
C. To ensure safeandefficientoperationofyourunit,youshould
do the following:
1. Thoroughly read this manual and labels on the unit. This
will help you understand how your unit operates and the hazards involved with gas and electricity.
2. Do not use this unit if any part has been under water. Immediatelycallaqualifiedserviceagencytoinspecttheunitand

APPLIANCE APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
Appliance operation has a significant impact on the performance
of the venting system. If the appliances are sized, installed, adjusted, and operated properly, the venting system and/or the appliances should not suffer from condensation and corrosion. The
ventingsystemandallappliancesshall beinstalledinaccordance
with applicable listings, standards, and codes.
The furnace should be sized to provide 100 percent of the design
heating load requirement plus any margin that occurs because of
furnace model size capacity increments. Heating load estimates
can be made using approved methods available from Air Conditioning Contractors of America (Manual J); American Society of
Heating, Refrigerating, and Air--Conditioning Engineers; or other
approved engineering methods. Excessive oversizing of the furnace could cause the furnace and/or vent to fail prematurely.
To prevent condensation in the furnace and vent system, the following precautions must be observed:
1.Thereturn--airtemperaturemustbe at least60°Fdbexcept
forbriefperiodsoftimeduringwarm--up from setback atno
lower than 55°F db or during initial start--up from a standby
condition.
2.Adjust the gas input rate per the installation instructions.
Lowgas inputrate causeslowventgastemperatures,causing condensation and corrosion in the furnace and/orventing system. Derating is permitted only for altitudes above
2000¢.
3.Adjust the air temperature rise to the midpoint of the rise
rangeorslightly above. Lowairtemperaturerisecancause
low vent gas temperature and potential for condensation
problems.
4.Set the thermostat heat anticipator or cycle rate to reduce
short cycling.
Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen compoundswhichincludechlorides,fluorides, bromides, andiodides.
These compounds are found in many common home products
suchas detergent,paint,glue,aerosolspray,bleach,cleaningsolvent,salt, and air freshener, and can cause corrosion of furnaces
and vents. Avoidusing such products in the combustion--air supply. Furnace use during construction of the building could cause
thefurnace tobe exposedtohalogencompounds,causingpremature failure of the furnace or venting system due to corrosion.
