CAUTION
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit
operation or performance dissatisfaction.
These furnaces are equipped with a manual reset limit
switch in burner assembly. This switch opens and shuts off
power to the gas valve if an overheat condition (flame
rollout) occurs in the burner assembly/enclosure. Correct
inadequate combustion-air supply, improper gas pressure
setting, improper burner or gas orifice positioning, or
improper venting condition before resetting switch. DO
NOT jumper this switch.
Before operating furnace, check flame rollout manual reset
switch for continuity. If necessary, press button to reset switch.
EAC-1 terminal is energized whenever blower operates. HUM
terminal is only energized when the the gas valve is energized
in heating.
Thermostat Setup Switch
This furnace can be installed with either a single−stage heating
or a two−stage heating thermostat. Setup switch SW−1 (TT) is
used to configure the furnace for single or two stage thermostat
operation. (See Figure 4)
For single−stage thermostats, connect thermostat W to W/W1
at furnace control terminal block. (See Figure 7) For
single−stage thermostats, the control will operate for 12
minutes on low heat, then switch to high heat if heat call
remains. Setup switch SW−1 (TT) must be in the
factory−shipped OFF position. See Figure 7 and Figure 15 for
setup switch information.
If a two−stage heating thermostat is to be used, move setup
switch SW−1 (TT) to ON position before starting furnace. This
overrides built−in control process for selecting high and low
heat and allows the two−stage thermostat to select gas heating
modes. The W2 from thermostat must be connected to W2 on
control terminal block.
Prime Condensate Trap with Water
!WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow these warnings could result in personal injury
or death.
Failure to use a properly configured trap or NOT
water-priming trap before operating furnace may allow
positive pressure vent gases to enter the structure through
drain tube. Vent gases contain carbon monoxide which is
tasteless and odorless.
1. Remove upper and middle collector box drain plugs
opposite of the condensate trap. (See Figure 1)
2. Connect field-supplied 5/8-in. (16 mm) ID tube with
attached funnel (see Figure 1) to upper collector box
drain connection.
3. Pour one quart (liter) of water into funnel/tube. Water
should run through collector box, overfill condensate
trap, and flow into open field drain.
5. Connect field-supplied 5/8-in. (16 mm) ID tube to middle
collector box drain port.
6. Pour one quart (liter) of water into funnel/tube. Water
should run through collector box, overfill condensate
trap, and flow into open field drain.
7. Remove funnel and tube from collector box and replace
collector box drain plug.

causing property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Adjustments
!
FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury, death and/or property damage.
DO NOT bottom out gas valve regulator adjusting screw.
This can result in unregulated manifold pressure and
result in excess overfire and heat exchanger failures.
FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced furnace
life.
DO NOT redrill orifices. Improper drilling (burrs,
out−of−round holes, etc.) can cause excessive burner
noise and misdirection of burner flames. This can result in
flame impingement of heat exchangers, causing failures.
(See Figure 2)
Figure 2Orifice Hole
For proper operation and long term reliability the furnace input
rate must be within +/−2 percent of input rate on furnace rating
plate, or as adjusted for altitude.
The gas input rate on rating plate is for installation at altitudes
up to 2000 ft. (610 M).

NOTICE
The NATURAL GAS manifold pressure adjustments in Table 3
compensate for BOTH altitude AND gas heating value. DO
NOT apply an additional de−rate factor to the pressures shown
in Table 3.
The heating content of natural gas at altitude may already
provide for a reduction in capacity or altitude. Refer to Table 3.
No adjustments to the furnace may be necessary at altitude for
certain gas heating values.
Refer to the instructions provided in the factory-specified
LP/Propane conversion kit for instructions for setting gas
manifold pressures for LP/Propane applications.
In the USA, the input rating for altitudes above 2000 ft. (610 M)
must be reduced by 2 percent for each 1000 ft. (305 M) above
sea level refer to Table 1. The natural gas manifold pressures
in Table 3 adjust for BOTH altitude and natural gas heating
value.
In Canada, the input rating must be reduced by 5 percent for
altitudes of 2000 ft. to 4500 ft. (610 to 1372 M) above sea level.
The natural gas manifold pressures in Table 3 adjust for BOTH
altitude and natural gas heating value.
NOTE: For Canadian altitudes of 2000 to 4500 ft. (610 to 1372
M), use USA altitudes of 2001 to 3000 ft. (611 to 914 M) in
Table 3.

To adjust manifold pressure to obtain the proper input rate, first,
determine if the furnace has the correct orifice installed. At
higher altitudes or different gas heat contents, it may be
necessary to change the factory orifice to a different orifice.
Tables have been provided in the furnace Service and
Technical Manual to match the required orifice to the manifold
pressure to the heat content and specific gravity of the gas. to
do this:
1. Obtain average yearly gas heat value (at installed
altitude) from local gas supplier.

Adjust Manifold Pressure
NOTICE
If orifice hole appears damaged or it is suspected to have been
redrilled, check orifice hole with a numbered drill bit of correct
size. Never redrill an orifice. A burr−free and squarely aligned
orifice hole is essential for proper flame characteristics.
6. Replace orifice with correct size, if required by Table 3.
Use only factory−supplied orifices. See EXAMPLE 1.
EXAMPLE 1:
0 - 2000 ft. (0 - 609.6M) altitude
Heating value = 1050 Btu/cu ft.
Specific gravity = 0.62
Therefore: Orifice No. 44
(Furnace is shipped with No. 44 orifices. In this example, all
main burner orifices are the correct size and do not need to be
changed to obtain proper input rate.)
Manifold pressure: 3.4-in. w.c. (847 Pa) for high heat, 1.4-in.
w.c. (349 Pa) for low heat
NOTE: To convert gas manifold Table pressures to Pascals,
multiply the in.w.c. value by 249.1 Pa/in. w.c. (1 in. wc. = 249.1
Pa).
Check Inlet Gas Pressure
