G50DF(X) units may be used for heating of buildings or
structures under construction, if the following conditions
are met:
D The vent system must be permanently installed per
these installation instructions.
D A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use of
fixed jumpers that will provide continuous heating is not
allowed.
D The return air duct must be provided and sealed to the
furnace.
D Return air temperature range between 60°F (16°C) and
80°F (27°C) must be maintained.
D Air filters must be installed in the system and must be
maintained during construction.
D Air filters must be replaced upon construction comple-
tion.
D The input rate and temperature rise must be set per the
furnace rating plate.
D One hundred percent (100%) outdoor air must be pro-
vided for combustion air requirements during construction. Temporary ducting may supply outdoor air to the
furnace. Do not connect duct directly to the furnace.
Size the temporary duct following these instructions in
section for Combustion, Dilution and Ventilation Air in a
confined space with air from outside.
D The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct system,
air filters and evaporator coils must be thoroughly
cleaned following final construction clean−up.
D All furnace operating conditions (including ignition, in-
put rate, temperature rise and venting) must be verified
according to these installation instructions.
NOTE − The Commonwealth of Massachusetts stipulates these additional requirements:
D Gas furnaces shall be installed by a licensed plumb-
er or gas fitter only.
D The gas cock must be T handle" type.
D When a furnace is installed in an attic, the passage-
way to and service area surrounding the equipment
shall be floored.
General
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
having jurisdiction before installation.
In addition to the requirements outlined previously, the following general recommendations must be considered
when installing a G50DF(X) furnace:
D Place the furnace as close to the center of the air dis-
tribution system as possible. The furnace should also be
located close to the chimney or vent termination point.
D Do not install the furnace where drafts might blow direct-
ly into it. This could cause improper combustion and unsafe operation.
D Do not block the furnace combustion air openings with
clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is needed for proper

Combustion, Dilution, & Ventilation Air
In the past, there was no problem in bringing in sufficient outdoor air for combustion. Infiltration provided all the air that
was needed. In today’s homes, tight construction practices
make it necessary to bring in air from outside for combustion. Take into account that exhaust fans, appliance
vents, chimneys, and fireplaces force additional air that
could be used for combustion out of the house. Unless outside air is brought into the house for combustion, negative
pressure (outside pressure is greater than inside pressure)
will build to the point that a downdraft can occur in the furnace vent pipe or chimney. As a result, combustion gases
enter the living space creating a potentially dangerous situation.
In the absence of local codes concerning air for combustion and ventilation, use the guidelines and procedures in
this section to install G50DF(X) furnaces to ensure efficient
and safe operation. You must consider combustion air
needs and requirements for exhaust vents and gas piping.
A portion of this information has been reprinted with permission from the National Fuel Gas Code
(ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA 54). This reprinted material is not the
complete and official position of the ANSI on the referenced
subject, which is represented only by the standard in its entirety.
In Canada, refer to the CSA B149 installation codes.
CAUTION
Do not install the furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmosphere. Meet all combustion and ventilation air requirements, as well as all local codes.
CAUTION
Insufficient combustion air can cause headaches,
nausea, dizziness or asphyxiation. It will also cause
excess water in the heat exchanger resulting in rusting and premature heat exchanger failure. Excessive
exposure to contaminated combustion air will result
in safety and performance related problems. Avoid
exposure to the following substances in the combustion air supply:
Permanent wave solutions
Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
Chlorine base swimming pool chemicals
Water softening chemicals
De-icing salts or chemicals
Carbon tetrachloride
Halogen type refrigerants
Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
Hydrochloric acid
Cements and glues
Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
Masonry acid washing materials
All gas-fired appliances require air for the combustion process. If sufficient combustion air is not available, the furnace or other appliances will operate inefficiently and unsafely. Enough air must be provided to meet the needs of all
fuel-burning appliances and appliances such as exhaust
fans which force air out of the house. When fireplaces, exhaust fans, or clothes dryers are used at the same time as
the furnace, much more air is necessary to ensure proper
combustion and to prevent a downdraft. Insufficient air
causes incomplete combustion which can result in carbon
monoxide.
In addition to providing combustion air, fresh outdoor air
dilutes contaminants in the indoor air. These contaminants may include bleaches, adhesives, detergents, solvents and other contaminants which can corrode furnace
components.
The requirements for providing air for combustion and ventilation depend largely on whether the furnace is installed in
an unconfined or a confined space.
Unconfined Space
An unconfined space is an area such as a basement or
large equipment room with a volume greater than 50 cubic
feet (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the combined input rating of all appliances installed in that space.
This space also includes adjacent rooms which are not
separated by a door. Though an area may appear to be unconfined, it might be necessary to bring in outdoor air for
combustion if the structure does not provide enough air by
Page 6
Page 7
infiltration. If the furnace is located in a building of tight
construction with weather stripping and caulking around
the windows and doors, follow the procedures in the air
from outside section.
Confined Space
A confined space is an area with a volume less than 50 cubic feet (1.42 m3) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of the
combined input rating of all appliances installed in that
space. This definition includes furnace closets or small
equipment rooms.
When the furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace, the return air must be handled by ducts
which are sealed to the furnace casing and which terminate
outside the space containing the furnace. This is especially
important when the furnace is mounted on a platform in a
confined space such as a closet or small equipment room.
Even a small leak around the base of the unit at the platform
or at the return air duct connection can cause a potentially
dangerous negative pressure condition. Air for combustion
and ventilation can be brought into the confined space either
from inside the building or from outside.

providing two permanent openings between the two
spaces. Each opening must have a minimum free area of 1
square inch (645 mm2) per 1,000 Btu (.29 kW) per hour of
total input rating of all gas−fired equipment in the confined
space. Each opening must be at least 100 square inches
(64,516 mm2). One opening shall be within 12 inches (305
mm) of the top of the enclosure and one opening within 12
inches (305 mm) of the bottom. See figure 2.
Air from Outside
If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventilation, the confined space must have two permanent openings. One opening shall be within 12 inches (305 mm) of the
top of the enclosure and one opening within 12 inches (305
mm) of the bottom. These openings must communicate directly or by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors or indirectly
through vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a minimum
free area of 1 square inch (645 mm2) per 4,000 Btu (1.17
kW) per hour of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure. See figures 3 and 4. When communicating with
the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall
have a minimum free area of 1 square inch (645 mm2) per
2,000 Btu (.56 kW) per total input rating of all equipment in
the enclosure. See figure 5.
When ducts are used, they shall be of the same cross−sectional area as the free area of the openings to which they
connect. The minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts
shall be no less than 3 inches (75 mm). In calculating free
area, the blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens must
be considered. If the design and free area of protective covering is not known for calculating the size opening required,
it may be assumed that wood louvers will have 20 to 25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles will have 60 to
75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles must be fixed in the
open position or interlocked with the equipment so that they
are opened automatically during equipment operation.

WARNING
Improper installation of the furnace can result in personal injury or death. Combustion and flue products
must never be allowed to enter the return air system
or the living space. Use screws and joint tape to seal
the return air system to the furnace.
In platform installations with bottom return air, the
furnace should be sealed airtight to the return air plenum. A door must never be used as a portion of the
return air duct system. The base must provide a
stable support and an airtight seal to the furnace. Allow absolutely no sagging, cracks, gaps, etc.
The return and supply air duct systems must never
be connected to or from other heating devices such
as a fireplace or stove, etc. Fire, explosion, carbon
monoxide poisoning, personal injury and/or property damage could result.
WARNING
The blower access panel must be securely in place
when the blower and burners are operating. Gas
fumes, which could contain carbon monoxide, can
be drawn into living space resulting in personal injury or death.
Filters
This unit is not equipped with a filter or rack. A field−provided high−velocity filter is required for the unit to operate
properly. Table 3 lists the recommended minimum filter
sizes.
A filter must be in place any time the unit is operating.

Duct System
Use industry-approved standards to size and install the
supply and return air duct system. This will result in a quiet
and low-static system that has uniform air distribution.
Ensure that you have made a seal between the supply air
plenum and the furnace and between the furnace and the
return air plenum.
NOTE − Do not operate the furnace with an external static
pressure that exceeds 0.5 inches w.c. Higher external static pressures may cause erratic limit operation.
Return Air Filter Size (inches)
Return Air Plenum
NOTE − Return air must not be drawn from a room
where this furnace, or any other gas−fueled appliance (i.e., water heater), or carbon monoxide−
producing device (i.e., wood fireplace) is installed.
When return air is drawn from a room, a negative pressure is created in the room. If a gas appliance is operating
in a room with negative pressure, the flue products can
be pulled back down the vent pipe and into the room. This
reverse flow of the flue gas may result in incomplete combustion and the formation of carbon monoxide gas. This
toxic gas might then be distributed throughout the house
by the furnace duct system.
Venting
A 4−inch diameter flue transition is factory-installed on all
models. Modifying or removing the flue transition will
cause the unit to operate unsafely and will void the unit
certification. The vent connector does not require insula-
tion.
The G50DF(X) series units are classified as fan−assisted
Category I furnaces when vertically vented according to
the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54) in the USA and the current standards of
CSA B149 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes in
Canada. A fan−assisted Category I furnace is an appliance
equipped with an integral mechanical means to either draw
or force combustion products through the combustion
chamber and/or heat exchanger.
NOTE − Use these instructions as a guide. They do not supersede local codes. This furnace must be vented according to all local codes, these installation instructions, and the
provided venting tables (5 through 10) in these instructions.
The venting tables in this manual were extracted from the
National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54) and are
provided as a guide for proper vent installation. Proper application, termination, construction and location of vents
must conform to local codes having jurisdiction. In the absence of local codes, the NFGC serves as the defining document.
Refer to the tables and the venting information contained in
these instructions to properly size and install the venting
system.
IMPORTANT
Once the venting system is installed, attach the Disconnected Vent" warning sticker to a visible area of
the plenum near the vent pipe. The warning sticker
is provided in the bag assembly.

self−drilling screw through the front and one through each
side of the vent pipe and collar. See figure 10.
Install the first vent connector elbow at a minimum of six
inches (152 mm) from the furnace vent outlet.
Venting Using a Masonry Chimney
The following additional requirements apply when a lined
masonry chimney is used to vent this furnace.
Masonry chimneys used to vent Category I central furnaces must be either tile-lined or lined with a listed metal
lining system or dedicated gas vent. Unlined masonry
chimneys are prohibited. See figures 11 and 12 for common venting.
A chimney with one or more sides exposed to the outside of
the structure is considered to be an exterior chimney.
An exterior masonry chimney that is not tile−lined must be
lined with B1 vent or a listed insulated flexible metal vent.
An exterior tile−lined chimney that is sealed and capped
may be lined with a listed uninsulated flexible metal vent.
If the existing chimney will not accommodate a B1 vent or
an insulated flexible vent pipe liner, either the chimney
must be rebuilt to accommodate one of these liners or an
alternate approved venting method must be found.
Insulation for the flexible vent pipe must be an encapsulated fiberglass sleeve recommended by the flexible vent
pipe manufacturer. See figure 11.
DO NOT insulate the space between the liner and the
chimney wall with puffed mica or any other loose granular insulating material
A fan−assisted furnace may be commonly vented into an
existing lined masonry chimney if the following conditions
are met:
S The chimney is currently serving at least one drafthood
equipped appliance
S The vent connectors and chimney are sized according
to the provided venting tables for the USA, and the appropriate venting tables in the standards of CSA B149

General Venting Requirements
IMPORTANT
SINGLE appliance venting of a fan-assisted furnace
into a tile-lined masonry chimney (interior or outside
wall) is PROHIBITED. The chimney must first be lined
with either type B1 vent or an insulated single wall
flexible vent lining system which has been sized according to the provided venting tables and the vent
pipe manufacturer’s instructions.
If type B1 double-wall vent is used inside a chimney, no other appliance can be vented into the chimney. The outer wall
of type B1 vent pipe must not be exposed to flue products.
A type B1 vent or masonry chimney liner shall terminate
above the roof surface with a listed cap or a listed roof assembly according to the terms of their respective listings
and the vent manufacturer’s instructions.
When inspection reveals that an existing chimney is not
safe for the intended purpose, it shall be rebuilt to conform
to nationally recognized standards, lined or relined with
suitable materials, or replaced with a gas vent or chimney
suitable for venting G50DF(X) series units. The chimney
passageway must be checked periodically to ensure that it
is clear and free of obstructions.
Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regulator,
or flue restrictor between the furnace and the chimney.
Never connect a Category I appliance to a chimney that is
servicing a solid−fuel appliance. If a fireplace chimney flue
is used to vent this appliance, the fireplace opening must
be permanently sealed.
A type B or listed chimney lining system that passes
through an unused masonry chimney flue is not considered
to be exposed to the outdoors.
Vent all G50DF(X) furnaces according to these instructions:
1 − Vent diameter recommendations and maximum allow-
able piping runs are found in the provided venting tables
for the USA, and the appropriate venting tables in the
standards of CSA B149 Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Codes for Canada.
2 − In no case should the vent or vent connector diameter
be less than the diameter specified in the provided
venting tables for the USA, and the appropriate venting
tables in the standards of CSA B149 Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Codes for Canada.
3 − Single appliance vents − If the vertical vent or tile-lined
chimney has a larger diameter or flow area than the
vent connector, use the vertical vent diameter to determine the minimum vent capacity and the vent
connector diameter to determine the maximum vent
capacity. The flow area of the vertical vent, however,
shall not exceed 7 times the flow area of the listed appliance categorized vent area, drafthood outlet area or
flue collar area unless designed according to approved
engineering methods.
4 − Multiple appliance vents − The flow area of the largest
section of vertical vent or chimney shall not exceed 7
times the smallest listed appliance categorized vent
area, drafthood outlet area or flue collar area unless designed according to approved engineering methods.
5 − The entire length of single wall metal vent connector
shall be readily accessible for inspection, cleaning,
and replacement.
Page 13
Page 14
6 − Single appliance venting configurations with zero lat-
eral lengths (tables 5 and 6), are assumed to have no
elbows in the vent system. For all other vent configurations, the vent system is assumed to have two 90° elbows. For each additional 90° elbow or equivalent (for
example two 45° elbows equal one 90° elbow) beyond
two, the maximum capacity listed in the venting table
should be reduced by 10% (0.90 x maximum listed capacity).
7 − The common venting tables (7, 8, 9, and 10) were gen-
erated using a maximum horizontal vent connector
length of 1−1/2 feet (.46 m) for each inch (25 mm) of
connector diameter as follows:

6 (152)9 (2.74)
7 (178)10−1/2 (3.20)
Maximum Horizontal
Connector Length feet (m)
8 − If the common vertical vent is offset, the maximum
common vent capacity listed in the common venting
tables should be reduced by 20%, the equivalent of two
90° elbows (0.80 x maximum common vent capacity).
The horizontal length of the offset shall not exceed
1-1/2 feet (.46 m) for each inch (25 mm) of common
vent diameter.
9 − The vent pipe should be as short as possible with the
least number of elbows and angles required to complete the job. Route the vent connector to the vent using the shortest possible route.
10 − A vent connector shall be supported without any dips
or sags and shall slope a minimum of 1/4 inch (6.4 mm)
per linear foot (305 mm) of connector, back toward the
appliance.
11 − Vent connectors shall be firmly attached to the furnace
flue collars by screws or other approved means, except vent connectors of listed type B vent material
which shall be assembled according to the manufac-
turer’s instructions. Joints between sections of single
wall connector piping shall be fastened by screws or
other approved means.
12 − When the vent connector used for Category I ap-
pliances must be located in or pass through a crawlspace or other areas which may be cold, that portion of
the vent connector shall be constructed of listed
double-wall type B vent material or material having
equivalent insulation qualities.
13 − All venting pipe passing through floors, walls, and ceil-
ings must be installed with the listed clearance to combustible materials and be fire stopped according to local codes. In absence of local codes, refer to NFGC
(Z223.1/NFPA 54).
14 − No portion of the venting system can extend into, or pass
through any circulation air duct or plenum.
15 − Vent connectors serving Category I appliances shall
not be connected to any portion of mechanical draft
systems operating under positive pressure such as
Category III or IV venting systems.
16 − If vent connectors are combined prior to entering the
common vent, the maximum common vent capacity
listed in the common venting tables must be reduced by
10%, the equivalent of one 90° elbow (0.90 x maximum
common vent capacity).
17 − The common vent diameter must always be at least as
large as the largest vent connector diameter.
18 − In no case, shall the vent connector be sized more than
two consecutive table size diameters over the size of
the draft hood outlet or flue collar outlet.
19 − Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regu-
lator or flue restrictor between the furnace and the
chimney.
20 − When connecting this appliance to an existing dedi-
cated or common venting system, you must inspect the
venting system’s general condition and look for signs
of corrosion. The existing vent pipe size must conform
to these instructions and the provided venting tables
for the USA, and the appropriate venting tables in the
standards of CSA B149 Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code for Canada. If the existing venting
system does not meet these requirements, it must be
resized.

Removal of the Furnace from Common Vent
In the event that an existing furnace is removed from a
venting system commonly run with separate gas appliances, the venting system is likely to be too large to
properly vent the remaining attached appliances.
Conduct the following test while each appliance is operating and the other appliances (which are not operating) remain connected to the common venting system. If the
venting system has been installed improperly, you must
correct the system as indicated in the general venting requirements section.
1 − Seal any unused openings in the common venting sys-
tem.
2 − Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal
pitch. Determine that there is no blockage, restriction,
leakage, corrosion, or other deficiencies which could
cause an unsafe condition.
3 − Close all building doors and windows and all doors be-
tween the space in which the appliances remaining
connected to the common venting system are located
and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not connected to the common
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.
4 − Follow the lighting instructions. Turn on the appliance
that is being inspected. Adjust the thermostat so that
the appliance operates continuously.
5 − After the main burner has operated for 5 minutes, test
for leaks of flue gases at the draft hood relief opening.
Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a
cigarette, cigar, or pipe.
6 − After determining that each appliance connected to the
common venting system is venting properly, (step 3)
return all doors, widows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers, and any other gas−burning appliances to their previous mode of operation.
7 − If a venting problem is found during any of the preced-
ing tests, the common venting system must be modified to correct the problem.
Page 18
Page 19
Resize the common venting system to the minimum
vent pipe size determined by using the appropriate
tables in appendix G. (These are in the current standards of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 in
the USA, and the appropriate Category 1 Natural Gas
and Propane appliances venting sizing tables in the
current standards of the CSA B149 Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Codes in Canada.)
Gas Piping
3 − The gas piping must not run in or through air ducts,
clothes chutes, gas vents or chimneys, dumb waiters,
or elevator shafts.
4 − The piping should be sloped 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) per 15
feet (4.57 m) upward toward the meter from the furnace. The piping must be supported at proper intervals
[every 8 to 10 feet (2.44 to 3.01 m)] with suitable hangers or straps. Install a drip leg inside vertical pipe runs
to the unit.
5 − In some localities, codes may require the installation of
a manual main shut-off valve and union (furnished by
the installer) external to the unit. The union must be of
the ground joint type.
CAUTION
If a flexible gas connector is required or allowed by
the authority that has jurisdiction, black iron pipe
shall be installed at the gas valve and extend outside
the furnace cabinet.
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping
must be resistant to the actions of liquified petro-
Gas Supply
1 − This unit is shipped standard for left or right side instal-
lation of gas piping. Connect the gas supply to the piping assembly.
2 − When connecting the gas supply piping, consider fac-
tors such as length of run, number of fittings, and furnace rating to avoid excessive pressure drop. Table 11
lists recommended pipe sizes for typical applications.
leum gases.
NOTE − Install a 1/8 inch NPT plugged tap in the field piping
upstream of the gas supply connection to the unit. The tap
must be accessible for test gauge connection. See figure 13.
NOTE − If emergency shutoff is necessary, shut off the main
manual gas valve and disconnect the main power to the
furnace. The installer should properly label these devices.
NOTE − Capacity given in cubic feet (m3 ) of gas per hour and based on 0.60 specific gravity gas.

BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for
gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is
heavier than air and will settle on the floor.
The gas valve on the G50DF(X) unit may be equipped with
either a gas control knob or gas control lever. Use only your
hand to push the lever or to turn the gas control knob. Never
use tools. If the knob will not turn or if the lever will not move
by hand, do not try to repair it. Force or attempted repair
may result in a fire or explosion.
Placing the furnace into operation:
G50DF(X) units are equipped with an automatic hot surface ignition system. Do not attempt to manually light
burners on these furnaces. Each time the thermostat calls
for heat, the burners will automatically light. The ignitor
does not get hot when there is no call for heat on units with
this ignition system.
WARNING
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire
or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.
Gas Valve Operation (Figures 22, 23, and 24)
1 − STOP! Read the safety information at the beginning of
this section.

Turning Off Gas to Unit" and call the gas supplier.
Turning Off Gas to Unit
1 − Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
2 − Turn off all electrical power to the unit if service is to be
performed.
3 − Remove the upper access panel.
4 − Honeywell VR8205 Gas Valve with ON/OFF Switch

Heating Sequence Of Operation
When thermostat calls for heat, combustion air inducer
starts.
Combustion air pressure switch proves combustion air
inducer operation. Switch is factory set and requires no
adjustment.
After a 15 second prepurge, the hot surface ignitor en-
ergizes.
After a 20 second ignitor warm−up period, the gas valve
solenoid opens.
Gas is ignited, flame sensor proves the flame, and the
combustion process continues.
If flame is not detected after first ignition trial, the igni-
tion control will repeat steps 3 and 4 four more times
before locking out the gas valve (WATCHGUARD"
flame failure mode). The ignition control will then automatically repeat steps 1 through 6 after 60 minutes.
To interrupt the 60−minute WATCHGUARD" period,
move thermostat from Heat" to OFF" then back to
Heat". Heating sequence then restarts at step 1.
Gas Pressure Adjustment
Gas Flow (Approximate)
1 − Operate unit at least 15 minutes before checking gas
flow. Determine the time in seconds for one revolutions of gas through the meter. A portable LP gas meter (17Y44) is available for LP applications.
2 − Compare the number of seconds and the gas meter
size in table 12 to determine the gas flow rate. Multiply
the gas flow rate by the heating value to determine the
unit input rate. If manifold pressure is correct and the
unit input rate is incorrect, check gas orifices for proper
size and restriction.
3 − Remove temporary gas meter if installed.
NOTE − To obtain accurate reading, shut off all other gas
appliances connected to meter.
For safety, shut unit off and remove manometer as
soon as an accurate reading has been obtained.
Take care to replace pressure tap plug.
Gas Pressure
1 − Check the gas line pressure with the unit firing at maxi-
mum rate. A minimum of 4.5 in. w.c. for natural gas or
11.0 in. w.c. for LP/propane gas should be maintained.
Page 25
Page 26
2 − After the line pressure has been checked and ad-
justed, check the manifold pressure. A natural gas to
LP/propane gas changeover kit is required to convert
the unit. Manifold pressure for all units fueled by natural gas at all altitudes is 3.5" w.c. Manifold pressure for
all units fueled by L.P./propane gas at all altitudes is
10.0" w.c. See figures 22, 23 and 24 for the location of
the manifold pressure adjustment screws.
High Altitude Information
NOTE − In Canada, certification for installations at elevations over 4500 feet (1372 m) is the jurisdiction of local authorities.
Manifold pressure for all units fueled by natural gas at all
altitudes is 3.5" w.c. Manifold pressure for all units fueled
by L.P./propane gas at all altitudes is 10.0" w.c.
NOTE − A natural to L.P. propane gas changeover kit is necessary to convert this unit. L.P. conversion kit 25W20 is
used with all units installed at altitudes up to 7,500 feet. L.P.
conversion kit 25W21 is used with all units installed at altitudes from 7,501 to 10,000 feet above sea level. Refer to
the changeover kit installation instruction for the conversion procedure.
NOTE − Units fueled by natural gas and installed at altitudes of 7501−10,000 feet above sea level require installation of a high altitude orifice kit (59M17).
The combustion air pressure switches are factory−set and
require no adjustment. The factory−installed pressure
switch is acceptable for use with units installed at altitudes
up to 10,000 feet above sea level.
Other Unit Adjustments
Primary and Secondary Limits
The primary limit is located on the heating compartment
vestibule panel. The secondary limit is located in the blower
compartment, attached to the back side of the blower.
These limits are factory set and require no adjustment.
Flame Rollout Switches (Two)
These manually reset switches are located on the burner
box. If tripped, check for adequate combustion air before
resetting.
Pressure Switch
The pressure switch is located in the heating compartment
adjacent to the combustion air inducer. This switch checks
for proper combustion air inducer operation before allowing ignition trial. The switch is factory−set and requires no
adjustment.
Temperature Rise
Place the unit into operation with a heating demand. After
supply and return air temperatures have stabilized, check
the temperature rise. If necessary, adjust the blower speed
to maintain the temperature rise within the range shown on
the unit nameplate. Increase the blower speed to decrease
the temperature. Decrease the blower speed to increase
the temperature rise. Failure to do adjust the temperature
rise may cause erratic limit operation.
Fan Control
Heating Mode −− The fan on delay of 45 seconds is not
adjustable. The fan off delay (amount of time that the
blower operates after the heat demand has been satisfied) may be adjusted by setting S1 switches 1 and 2 located on the integrated control. The unit is shipped with a
factory fan off setting of 90 seconds. The fan off delay affects comfort and is adjustable to satisfy individual applications. Adjust the fan off delay to achieve a supply air
temperature between 90° and 110°F at the exact moment that the blower is de−energized. Longer off delay
settings provide lower return air temperatures; shorter
settings provide higher return air temperatures. See figure 20.
Cooling Mode −− The cooling mode fan off delay (amount
of time that the blower operates after the cooling demand
has been satisfied) may be adjusted by setting S1 switch
3 located on the integrated control. In the off position, the
cooling fan off delay is 2 seconds. In the on position, the
cooling fan off delay is 45 seconds. See figure 20.
Thermostat Heat Anticipation
Set the heat anticipator setting (if adjustable) according to
the amp draw listed on the wiring diagram that is attached
to the unit.
Electrical
1 − Check all wiring for loose connections.
2 − Check for the correct voltage at the furnace (furnace
operating).
3 − Check amp-draw on the blower motor.

Electronic Ignition
The SureLight® integrated control has an added feature of
an internal Watchguard control. The feature serves as an
automatic reset device for ignition control lockout caused
by ignition failure. After one hour of continuous thermostat
demand for heat, the Watchguard will break and remake
thermostat demand to the furnace and automatically reset
the control to begin the ignition sequence.
Flue And Chimney
1 − Check flue pipe, chimney and all connections for tight-
ness and to make sure there is no blockage.
2 − Check unit for proper draft.
3 − Is pressure switch closed? Obstructed flue will cause
unit to shut off at pressure switch. Check flue and outlet
for blockages.
4 − Reset manual flame rollout switches on burner box
cover.
Failure To Operate
If the unit fails to operate, check the following:
1 − Is the thermostat calling for heat?
2 − Are access panels securely in place?
3 − Is the main disconnect switch closed?
4 − Is there a blown fuse?
5 − Is the filter dirty or plugged? Dirty or plugged filters will
cause the limit control to shut the unit off.
6 − Is gas turned on at the meter?
7 − Is the manual main shut-off valve open?
8 − Is the internal manual shut-off valve open?
9 − Is the unit ignition system in lock out? If the unit locks out
again, inspect the unit for blockages.

WARNING
Disconnect power before servicing unit.
CAUTION
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
At the beginning of each heating season, a qualified technician should check the system as follows:
Blower
Check the blower wheel for debris and clean if necessary.
The blower motors are prelubricated for extended bearing
life. No further lubrication is needed.
WARNING
The blower access panel must be securely in place
when the blower and burners are operating. Gas
fumes, which could contain carbon monoxide, can
be drawn into living space resulting in personal injury or death.
Filters
All G50DF(X) filters are installed external to the unit. Filters
should be inspected monthly. Clean or replace the filters
when necessary to ensure that the furnace operates properly. Replacement filters must be rated for high velocity airflow. Table 3 lists recommended filter sizes.
Flue And Chimney
Check the flue pipe, chimney and all connections for tightness and to make sure there is no blockage.
Electrical
1 − Check all wiring for loose connections.
2 − Check for the correct voltage at the furnace (furnace

Cleaning the Heat Exchanger and Burners
NOTE − Use papers or protective covering in front of the furnace during cleaning.
Cleaning the heat exchanger requires a steel spring
snake," a reversible drill and a vacuum cleaner. The steel
spring snake may be constructed using a 4 ft. long by 1/4
inch diameter steel wire cable and a 1/4 inch diameter wire
brush. These items are available at a hardware store. Insert wire end of brush into the open end of the spring cable.
Crimp the cable around the brush so that the brush is secured and will not come off during cleaning. Attach the other end of the cable to the reversible drill to complete the tool
for cleaning the heat exchanger.
1 − Turn off both electrical and gas supplies to the furnace.
Remove the furnace access panels.
2 − Remove the three screws that secure the vent pipe to
the flue collar. See figure 10.
3 − Remove the screw that secures the internal flue pipe to
the combustion air inducer. See figure 25.
4 −Scrape away the silicone sealant that is between the
internal flue pipe and the combustion air inducer.
5 − Pull the internal flue pipe into the chase.
6 − Label and disconnect the pressure switch wires.
7 −Remove the four screws that secure the combustion
air inducer. Carefully remove the combustion air induc-
er to avoid damaging the blower gasket. If the gasket is
damaged, it must be replaced to prevent leakage. See

screws to the collector box and combustion air inducer.
Failure to replace all screws may cause leaks.
18 −To clean the burner, run a vacuum cleaner with a soft
brush attachment over the face of burners. Inspect in-
side the burners and crossovers for any blockage.
Clean the inside of the burner if necessary.
19 −NOx Units − Reattach the NOx inserts to the corbels at
the entrance to each heat exchanger opening. See fig-
ure 27.
20 −Reinstall the burner/manifold assembly on the vesti-
bule panel.
21 −Reconnect wires to pressure switch, roll−out switches,
gas valve and combustion air inducer. Refer to unit wir-
ing diagram.
22 −Use screws to resecure the junction box to the cabinet.
23 −Apply RTV/high temperature silicone sealant between
the internal flue pipe and the combustion air inducer.
Page 30
Page 31
24 −Use one screw to resecure the internal flue pipe to the
combustion air inducer.
25 −Use three screws to resecure the vent pipe to the flue
collar. See figure 10.
26 −Reconnect the gas supply piping.
27 −Turn on power and gas supply to the unit.
28 −Set thermostat and check for proper operation.
29 −Check all piping connections, factory and field, for gas
leaks. Use a leak detecting solution or other preferred
means.
Some soaps used for leak detection are corrosive to
certain metals. Carefully rinse piping thoroughly after leak test has been completed. Do not use
matches, candles, flame or other sources of ignition
to check for gas leaks.
30 −If a leak is detected, shut gas and electricity off and re-
pair leak.
31 −Repeat steps 35 and 36 until no leaks are detected.
32 −Replace front access panels.

Planned Service
A service technician should check the following items during an annual inspection. Power to the unit must be shut off
for safety.
Fresh air grilles and louvers (on the unit and in the room
where the furnace is installed) − Must be open and unobstructed to provide combustion air.
Burners − Must be inspected for rust, dirt, or signs of water.
Vent pipe − Must be inspected for signs of water, damaged,
cracked or sagging pipe, or disconnected joints.
Unit appearance − Must be inspected for rust, dirt, signs
of water, burnt or damaged wires, or components.
Blower access door − Must be properly in place and provide a seal between the return air and the room where the
furnace is installed.
Return air duct − Must be properly attached and provide
an air seal to the unit.
Operating performance − Unit must be observed during
operation to monitor proper performance of the unit and the
vent system.
Combustion gases − Flue products must be analyzed and
compared to the unit specifications.
Problems detected during the inspection may make it necessary to temporarily shut down the furnace until the items
can be repaired or replaced.
Instruct the homeowners to pay attention to their
furnace. Situations can arise between annual furnace in-
spections that may result in unsafe operation. For instance,
items innocently stored next to the furnace may obstruct
the combustion air supply. This could cause incomplete
combustion and the production of carbon monoxide gas.
