General
1. Furnace must have a 115-v power supply properly
connected and grounded.
NOTE: Proper polarity must be maintained for 115-v wiring.
Control status indicator light flashes code 10 and furnace does
not operate if polarity is incorrect.
2. Thermostat wire connections at terminals R, W, G, and Y
must be made at 24-v terminal block on furnace control.
3. Natural gas service pressure must not exceed 0.5 psig
(14- in. w.c.), but must be no less than 0.16 psig (4.5-in.

CAUTION
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit
operation or performance satisfaction.
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 burner assembly. Correct inadequate
combustion−air supply 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 terminal is energized whenever blower operates. HUM
24VAC: The HUM 24VAC terminal is energized when there is a
call for heat (W) and the pressure switch (LPS) closes. HUM:

Purge Gas Lines
If not previously done, purge the lines after all connections
have been made and check for leaks.
!
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury,
death, and/or property damage.
Never purge a gas line into a combustion chamber. Never
test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially
available soap solution made specifically for the detection
of leaks to check all connections. A fire or explosion may
result causing property damage, personal injury or loss of
life.
WARNING
UNIT OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent unit
operation or performance satisfaction.
Condensate trap must be PRIMED or proper draining may
not occur. The condensate trap has two internal
chambers which can ONLY be primed by pouring water
into the inducer drain side of condensate trap.
1. Remove upper and middle collector box drain plugs
opposite of the condensate trap. (See Figure 1)
2. Connect field-supplied 1/2-in. (13 mm) OD tube to upper
collector box drain connection.
3. Insert field-supplied funnel into tube.
4. Pour one quart of water into funnel/tube. Water should
run through collector box, overfill condensate trap, and
flow into open field drain.
6. Connect field-supplied 1/2-in. (13 mm) OD tube to middle
collector box drain port.
7. Pour one quart of water into funnel/tube. Water should
run through collector box, overfill condensate trap, and
flow into open field drain.
8. Remove funnel and tube from collector box and replace
collector box drain plug.
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.

Figure 2Orifice Hole
BURNER
ORIFICE
A93059
For proper operation and long term reliability the furnace input
rate must be within +/−2 percent of input rate on furnace rating
plate.
The gas input rate on rating plate is for installation at altitudes
up to 2000 ft. (610 M)
In the U.S.A., 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.
In Canada, the input rating must be derated by 5 percent for
altitudes of 2000 ft. (610 M) to 4500 ft. (1372 M) above sea
level.
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:
a. Obtain average yearly gas heat value (at installed
altitude) from local gas supplier.
b. Obtain average yearly gas specific gravity from local
gas supplier.
c. Find installation altitude range for your installation in
the manifold pressure tables in Table 3.
d. Find closest natural gas heat value and specific
gravity in Table 3.
e. Follow heat value and specific gravity lines to point of
intersection to find orifice size and manifold pressure
setting for proper operation.
f. Check and verify burner orifice size in furnace.
NEVER ASSUME ORIFICE SIZE. ALWAYS CHECK
AND VERIFY.
g. Replace orifice with correct size, if required by
Table 3. Use only factory−supplied orifices. See
EXAMPLE.
EXAMPLE: 0 - 2000 ft. (0 - 609.6M) altitude
Heating value = 1050 Btu/cu ft.
Specific gravity = 0.62
Therefore: Orifice No. 44
Manifold pressure: 3.4-in. w.c.
* 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.
1. Adjust manifold pressure to obtain input rate. (See
Figure 3)
a. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to OFF.
b. Remove manifold pressure tap plug from gas valve.
c. Connect a water column manometer or similar device
to manifold pressure tap.
d. Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to ON.
e. Manually close blower door switch.
f. Jumper R and W thermostat connections on control
to start furnace. (See Figure 4)

NOTE: For Canadian altitudes of 2000 to 4500 ft. (610 to
1372 M), use USA altitudes of 2001 to 3000 ft. (610 to 914
M)
NOTE: 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.
g. Remove regulator adjustment cap from gas valve
pressure regulator (See Figure 3) and turn adjusting
screw (3/16 or smaller flat−tipped screwdriver)
counterclockwise (out) to decrease input rate or
clockwise (in) to increase input rate.
NOTE: DO NOT set manifold pressure less than 3.2 in. w.c. or
more than 3.8 in. w.c. for natural gas. If manifold pressure is
outside this range, change main burner orifices to obtain
manifold pressure in this range.

CAUTION
FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in:
SOverheating the heat exchangers or condensing
flue gases in heat exchanger areas not designed
for condensate.
SShortened furnace life.
SComponent damage.
Temperature rise must be within limits specified on furnace
rating plate. Recommended operation is at midpoint of rise
range or slightly above.
This furnace must operate within the temperature rise ranges
specified on the furnace rating plate. Determine the air
temperature as follows:
a. Place duct thermometers in return and supply ducts
as close to furnace as possible. Be sure
thermometers do not “see” heat exchangers so that
radiant heat does not affect thermometer readings.
This is particularly important with straight run ducts.
b. When thermometer readings stabilize, subtract
return−air temperature from supply−air temperature to
determine temperature rise.
If the temperature rise is outside this range, check the
following:
a. Gas input for gas heat operation.
440 04 4401 009
b. Derate for altitude if applicable.
c. Return and supply ducts for excessive restrictions
d. Adjust temperature rise by adjusting blower speed.
e. Increase blower speed to reduce temperature rise.
f. Decrease blower speed to increase temperature rise.
ELECTRICAL OPERATION HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury
or death.
Disconnect 115v electrical power before changing speed
tap.
(Read following caution before changing taps).
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
To avoid operating outside the rise range and avoid
component damage:
Refer to the Air Delivery Tables to determine which airflows
and settings are allowed for proper heating airflow. DO NOT
use the highlighted settings for heating airflow. The
highlighted settings are to be used for Cooling, ONLY.
Furnaces are shipped with the Heating speed selected as the
