•Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
•Masonry acid washing materials
•Unrefined gases
Contaminated combustion air may cause premature
failure of the heat exchanger that may lead to a
hazardous condition and/or bodily harm, or loss of
life.
Adequate Ventilation and Combustion Air:
This section is provided to give guidelines for the
introduction of air for ventilation and combustion air. The
total quantity of air provided to the installation area must
equal the requirements of all gas appliances in the area.
Adequate facilities for providing air for combustion
and ventilation must be provided in accordance with the
latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA54 or CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Codes, or applicable provisions of the local
building codes.
The furnace shall be installed in a location in which
the facilities for ventilation permits satisfactory combustion
of gas, proper venting and maintenance of ambient
temperature at safe limits under normal conditions of use.
The furnace shall be located so as not to interfere with
proper circulation of air.
In addition to air needed for combustion, ventilation in
the form of process air must be provided as required for:
cooling of equipment or material, controlling dew point,
heating, drying, oxidation or dilution, safety exhaust and
odor control. Air must be supplied for ventilation,
including all air required for comfort and proper working
conditions for personnel.
For purposes of this instruction the following
definitions apply:
Confined Space:A space whose volume is less
than 50 cubic feet per 1000
Btu/hr of the aggregate input
rating of all appliances installed
in that space.
Unconfined Space:A space whose volume is not
less than 50 cubic feet per 1000
Btu/hr of the aggregate input
rating of all appliances installed
in that space. Rooms
communicating directly with the
space in which the appliances
are installed, through openings
not furnished with doors, are
considered a part of the
unconfined space.
If the installation area meets the definition of
"Unconfined Space" and does not have additional air
requirements as described, the furnace may be installed
without making special provisions for combustion and
ventilation air.
Whenever this furnace is installed in an area along
with one or more gas appliances, the total Btu/hr
input of all appliances must be included when
determining the free area requirements for
combustion and ventilation air openings.
Do not block the combustion or ventilation air
openings in the furnace. Any blockage will result in
improper combustion and may result in a fire
hazard or unsafe condition.
20541501Issue 0240 Page 8 of 26

AIR THROUGH HORIZONTAL DUCTS
Furnaces installed with combustion air drawn from
a heated space which includes exhaust fans,
fireplaces, or other devices that may produce a
negative pressure should be considered confined
space installations.
For an attic installation it is important to keep
insulation 12" or more away from any furnace
openings. Some types of insulating materials may
be combustible.
20541501Issue 0240 Page 10 of 26
Page 13
DUCTING
The proper sizing of warm air ducts is necessary to insure satisfactory heating operation. Ductwork should be in
accordance with the latest editions of (U.S.) NFPA-90A (Air Conditioning Systems) and NFPA-90B (Warm Air Heating
and Air Conditioning Systems) or Canadian equivalent.
Ductwork Recommendation:
The supply duct work should be attached to the
flanged opening provided at the discharge end of the
furnace. See page 3 "Furnace Specificatons" for the
dimensions of this opening.
A left, right, or bottom return air opening must be
used as determined by the layout of the installation. An
externally mounted air filter is required.
This furnace has a two piece bottom panel. For
bottom or end duct return, remove the back portion of the
bottom panel by removing the four (4) screws - two (2) on
each side toward the back of the furnace (See Figure 7).
Tilt furnace toward the front, the back portion of the panel
will drop down. Then the back portion can be removed
by pulling toward the back of the furnace.
Figure 7
BOTTOM PANEL REMOVAL
Knockouts are provided on both sides of the furnace
to facilitate the cutout required to the return air ductwork.
Furnace cutouts must be the full size specified by the
corner markers. Undersized cutouts will adversely
affect the airflow capability of the furnace and could
cause overheating of the heat exchanger.
The following recommendations should be followed
when installing the ductwork:
1. Install locking-type dampers in all branches of the
individual ducts to balance out the system. Dampers
should be adjusted to impose the proper static at the
outlet of the furnace.
2. Noncombustible flexible duct connectors are
recommended to connect both the supply and return
ducts to the furnace.
3. In cases where the return air grille is located close to
the blower inlet, there should be at least one 90° air
turn between blower and return grille. Further
reduction in sound can be accomplished by installing
acoustical air turning vanes and/or lining the inside of
the duct with acoustical material.
4. It is recommended that the supply duct be provided
with a removable access panel. This opening shall
be accessible when the furnace is installed and shall
be of such a size that the heat exchanger can be
viewed for possible openings using light assistance or
a probe can be inserted by sampling the air stream.
The access panel shall be designed so as to prevent
leaks when locked in position. If an air conditioning
coil is installed, the access panel to the coil can be
used for this purpose.
When supply ducts carry air circulated by the
furnace to areas outside the spaces containing the
furnace, the return air shall also be handled by a
duct sealed to the furnace casing and terminating
outside the space containing the furnace. Incorrect
ductwork termination and sealing will create a
hazardous condition that could lead to bodily harm.
Air openings, intake and outlet pipes, return air
grilles and warm air registers must not be
obstructed.
To Convert to Downflow Position:
1. Convert the combustion blower to side flue exit, as
outlined on page 14.
2. Install proper special base per Table 2 for installation
on combustible flooring (follow instructions supplied
with special base).
3. It is recommended that the return air be connected to
the bottom panel of the furnace when it is installed in
the downflow position.
NOTE: SPECIAL SUB-BASE NOT REQUIRED WHEN
FURNACE IS MOUNTED ON A METAL CASED
EVAPORATOR COIL.

Filters:
Air filters must be used in every installation. For side
return installations, air filters must be installed external to
the furnace casing. An external filter rack kit with filter
(parts No. 20069901 or Cat. No. 68L75 12 / 15½" x 25"
sizes and 20069902 or Cat. No. 68L76 for 15½" / 19" x
25" sizes) is available as an optional accessory.
For bottom (end) return installations, the above
optional external rack may be used, if the unit was not
provided with a internal filter. Minimum filter size and
suggested filter materials are shown in Table 3. (If
different type filter is used, it must be an equivalent high
airflow capacity.)
2. In parallel flow installation, dampers must be provided
to direct air over the furnace heat exchanger when
heat is desired and over the cooling when cooling is
desired.
IMPORTANT: The dampers should be adequate to
prevent cooled air from entering the
furnace, and if manually operated, must
be equipped with means to prevent
operation of either the cooling unit or
furnace unless the damper is in the full
cool or full heat position.

When installing the furnace with cooling equipment for
year round operation, the following recommendations
must be followed for series or parallel air flow:
1. In series flow applications, the coil is mounted after
the furnace in an enclosure in the supply air stream.
The furnace blower is used for both heating and
cooling airflow.
VENTING
Venting for the furnace must be to the outside and in
accordance with local codes or requirements of the local
utility. In the absence of local codes, venting must
conform to the applicable sections of the latest edition of
the (U.S.) National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54,
and/or CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation
Codes, and the vent manufacturers instructions.
This furnace is CSA International certified as a
Category I forced air appliance and can not be vented
into a vent system with any Category II, III or IV
appliance. It must be vented vertically, or nearly
vertically, unless installed with a listed mechanical venter
in accordance with horizontal venting instructions. It must
not be connected to any portion of a mechanical draft
system operating under positive pressure
The 3" (in.) to 4" (in.) vent adaptor coupling (supplied
with unit) MUST BE USED. It must be connected directly
to the outlet of the combustion blower using a field
supplied corrosion resistant sheet metal screw (See
Figure 8).
The coil MUST be installed on the air discharge
side of the furnace. Under no circumstances
should the air flow be such that cooled, conditioned
air can pass over the furnace heat exchanger. This
will cause condensation in the heat exchanger and
possible failure of the heat exchanger that could
lead to a fire hazard and/or hazardous conditions
that may lead to bodily harm. Heat exchanger
failure due to improper installation will not be
covered by warranty.

For Horizontal Positions:
It is not necessary to reposition any of the
components of the furnace in order to install it in either
horizontal position. As outlined above, it is permissible to
use the side vent exit for the horizontal-left position, if
desired.
Checking For Vent Oversizing:
If this furnace is replacing a furnace that is attached
to a venting system serving other appliances, the venting
system is likely to be too large to properly vent all of the
attached appliances. An improperly sized venting system
can lead to condensation, leakage, or spillage.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed
into operation could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
The following steps shall be followed for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into
operation, while all other appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas Code,ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes and these
instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies
which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the
appliance(s) connected to the venting system are located and other spaces of the building.
4. Close fireplace dampers.
5. 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 are operating at maximum speed. Do not operate
a summer exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat
so appliance is operating continuously.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main
burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle.
8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the venting system must be corrected in
accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Codes.
9. After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the venting system properly vents when
tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-fired
burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
When installed, the furnace must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the (U.S.) National Electrical
Codes, ANSI/NFPA 70 or CSA Standard C22.1; Part 1
Canadian Electrical Code. For proper installation refer to
furnace rating label for electrical ratings and for the field
wiring of this unit refer to furnace wiring specifications on
page 5 or alternately from the wiring diagram on page 28.
In all instances, other than wiring for the thermostat, the
wiring to be done and any replacement of wire shall
conform with the temperature limitation for Type T wire
[63°F rise (35°C)].
The electrical connections and the thermostat
connections are made at the openings on either side
panel of the unit in the control box area. Either side may
be used as convenient, but the provided hole plugs must
be inserted in the unused holes.
The control system depends on the correct polarity of
the power supply. Connect "Hot" (H) wire and "Ground"
(G) wire as shown in furnace wiring specification on
wiring diagram. Use reference Table on page 3 (Furnace
Specifications), for over current protection, max unit amp
rating and wire size. Use copper wire only for 115Vsupply service to unit. When replacing any original
internal wiring, use only 105°C, 16 AWG copper wire.
Instructions for wiring the thermostat are packed in
the thermostat (field supplied) box. Make the thermostat
connections as shown in furnace wiring specifications at
the 24-volt terminal board located in the control box.
When installing optional accessories to this appliance,
follow the manufacturer's installation instructions included
with the accessory.
The unit cabinet must have an uninterrupted or
unbroken electrical ground to minimize personal
injury if an electrical fault should occur. This may
consist of electrical wire or approved conduit when
installed in accordance with existing electrical
codes. Do not use gas piping as an electrical
ground. Failure to follow this warning can result in
an electrical shock, fire, bodily harm, or loss of life.
20541501Issue 0240 Page 15 of 26

GAS CONNECTIONS
Gas piping shall be of such size and so installed as
to provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet maximum
demands without undue loss of pressure between the gas
meter and the furnace. It is recommended that the gas
line to the furnace shall be a separate line direct from the
meter, unless the existing gas line is of ample capacity.
Refer to gas pipe capacity table in the National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54, and/or CSA B149.1 Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Codes.
If local codes allow the use of a flexible gas appliance
connector, always use a new listed connector. Do no use
a connector which has previously serviced another gas
appliance.
Use a joint compound (pipe dope) that is resistant to
the action of liquefied petroleum gases or any other
chemical constituents of the gases to be conducted
through the piping.
For proper furnace operation the maximum gas
supply pressure is 14" w.c. and the minimum gas
supply pressure is 4.5" w.c. - Natural (11" w.c. - LP)
as shown on rating label.
Before any system of gas piping is finally put into
service, it should be carefully tested to determine if it is
gas tight. Check all piping for leaks using soapy water
and a brush. The piping must stand a pressure of six (6)
inches of mercury (3 PSIG) for a period of ten (10)
minutes or as required by local authority.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly
could result in serious injury, death or property
damage.
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.
The furnace and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system
at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.5kPa or
14"w.c.).
The furnace must be isolated from the gas
supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system at pressures equal to
or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5kPa or 14"w.c.). Failure
to follow the above procedures could lead to a
hazardous condition and bodily harm.
This furnace is manufactured for use with Natural gas
and must be converted using the proper LP conversion kit
for use with LP (Propane) gas. For LP (Propane) gas, a
tank regulator is required to reduce supply pressure to
12"-13"w.c. For manifold pressure see Table 6.
A main manual shut off valve must be used in the
gas piping. The shut off type and location must follow
local codes and should always be in an accessible but
protected location. In the absence of local codes the
recommended methods for installing the gas piping to the
furnace are shown in Figures 11 and 12.
The gas valve contains two threaded ports for a 1/8"
NPT tap in order to test incoming gas pressure and
outgoing manifold pressure (See Figure 13).
Many soaps used for leak testing are corrosive to
certain metals. Piping must be rinsed thoroughly
with clean water after leak check has been
completed.
Never use an open flame when testing for gas
leaks! Use of an open flame could lead to a fire or
explosion.

STARTUP AND OPERATIONAL CHECKOUT
Do not use this furnace as a construction heater.
Use of this furnace as a construction heater
exposes the furnace to abnormal conditions,
contaminated combustion air and the lack of air
filters. Failure to follow this warning can lead to
premature furnace failure and/or vent failure which
could result in a fire hazard and/or bodily harm.
The automatic gas valve controls the flow of gas to
the main burners. The ignition system control switch built
into the automatic valve body has 2 positions: "OFF" and
"ON" (Figure 13). To shut off gas manually:Rotate switch
from "ON" to "OFF" position. When in "OFF" position, the
main burners are extinguished.
This furnace is equipped with an automatic hotsurface ignition control and does not require the manual
lighting for furnace operation.
1. Be sure all electrical power is OFF.
2. Check all wiring using proper wiring diagram on
inside of the control box cover.
3. Turn ON the electrical power.
4. Set the gas control knob in the "ON" position.
5. Set the thermostat above room temperature.
6. The ignitor will spark and the main burner
will ignite.

Do not attempt to manually light the burners.
Failure to follow this warning can lead to electrical
shock that could result in bodily harm.
7. Recheck for leaks in the manual shut off valve, gas
control valve and gas connections using a soap
solution.
Never use an open flame when testing for gas
leaks! Use of an open flame could lead to a fire or
explosion.
Many soaps used for leak testing are corrosive to
certain metals. Piping must be rinsed thoroughly
with clean water after leak check has been
completed.
After the ductwork connections have been made, gas
piping and electrical wiring completed and the furnace
has been properly vented, the unit should be started and
adjusted for proper operation. Check off the following
steps as they are completed.
20541501Issue 0240 Page 18 of 26
Manifold Pressure Adjustment:
Turn OFF the gas and electrical before
preceeding! Remove the manifold pressure tap pipe
plug from the gas valve (Figure 13 outlet pressure tap)
and install a pressure tap and connect it to a manometer.
Turn on the gas and electrical supplies, then measure the
manifold pressure with the furnace in operation.
Page 21
Remove the cap to access the screw for input
adjustment (Figure 13 Pressure Regulator). Turn
regulator-adjusting screw IN to increase pressure,
OUT to decrease pressure. Replace the cap. Measure
the manifold pressure.
For Natural gas, best results are obtained with a
manifold pressure of 3.2" to 3.5"w.c. For units that have
been converted to LP (Propane) gases, a manifold
pressure of 10"w.c. is necessary. After proper
adjustment, turn OFF gas, replace manifold pressure tap
pipe plug and turn ON gas.
At higher altitudes and varying heating valves,
manifold pressure or orifice changes maybe
required. Consult Tables 7 and 8 for appropriate
values. Failure to follow this warning could lead to
a hazardous furnace operating condition and result
in serious bodily injury or loss of life.
Determining Furnace Input - Natural Gas ONLY:
NOTE: Louvered access door of furnace must be in
4. Calculate the furnace input using the following
formula:
BTUH = Cubic Ft/Hr x BTU/Cubic Foot
The local gas supplier should be able to provide the
heating value of the gas, in BTU/cubic foot. If a
specific value is not available, use 1000 BTU/cubic
foot for Natural gas or 2500 BTU/cubic foot for
Propane (LP).
1. Turn OFF all other gas appliances (except for pilot
burners) served by the same gas meter.
2. With furnace operating in full heat cycle, note how
many seconds it takes for one full revolution of the
smallest dial on the meter. Typically, this will be a
1/2 - or - 1 - cubic foot test dial.
3. Using the number of seconds for one revolution and
the size of the meter dial, determine the cubic foot
per hour of gas flow by using the formula provided
below or Table 5.
Cubic Ft/Hr =
Number of Dial Revolutions x Cubic Foot/Revolution x 3600
Time (in seconds) Required for Number of Timed Revolutions
Furnace input should be maintained within ± 2% of
the value on the rating plate or appropriate altitude
derate. Adjust manifold pressure or change main
orifices size if required.
5. Calculate the unit's actual input rate.
Example:If the heating value of the natural gas is 1015
Btu/cu. and it takes 60 seconds to burn 2 cu.
ft. of gas then:
Input = 1015 Btu/cu. ft. X 1 rev X 2 cu. ft./rev. X 3600
60 sec.
Input = 121,800 Btu/hr.
20541501Issue 0240 Page 19 of 26
Page 22
Burner Orifice Sizing:
The furnace is supplied with standard orifices for the
gas shown on the rating plate. Table 6 shows
combinations of heating values and specific gravities for
various gases, from which proper input can be obtained.
If changing orifices is required, remove the manifold
from the furnace (following the instructions found on page
23) and replace orifices as required by Table 6, the
altitude derating section of this instruction or as local code
dictates.

After securing the manifold assembly, replace all
other components and/or wiring, being sure that all
connections and screws are tightened properly.
Altitude Derating:
The following information is provided as guidelines for
altitude derating and is not meant to supersede any state
or local codes. Local codes have priority over any others
and in some case might limit your options in dealing with
an altitude derate situation.
NOTE: In Canada for altitudes up to 4500 ft. (1372 m)
see the rating label on this furnace for proper
manifold pressure and orifice size. Certification
for installations at altitudes over 4500 ft. (1372 m)
is the jurisdiction of local authorities.
Check with your local gas company to find out if the
gas supply in your area is derated. Gas deration negates
the necessity of performing any adjustment on the
furnace.
If your gas supply is not derated, and regardless of
the type of gas used, installation of this furnace at
elevations above 2,000 ft. requires an input reduction at
the rate of four percent (4%) for each 1,000 ft. above sea
level.
Unless an orifice change is specified by an applicable
code, or the furnace is to be installed above 6,999 feet,
the recommended method of altitude derating this furnace
is to appropriately lower your manifold pressure. The
appropriate manifold pressures based on the elevation
and the heating value can be found in Table 7.

If local codes require an orifices change or if the
furnace installation is above 6,999 feet. The appropriate
orifice size based on the elevation and the heating value
can be found in Table 8. Sizing of the orifice must be
based on the previously mentioned 4% derate for each
1,000 feet for installations at/or above 2,000 feet rule and
the orifices must be drilled in such a way as to assure
concentricity. Hand drilling of orifices is unacceptable.

Hand drilling of orifices is never acceptable since it
could lead to delayed ignition, overfiring, improper
combustion, flashback and flame rollout. All these
conditions could lead to a fire hazard and bodily
harm, or loss of life.
Blower Adjustment Checkout:
Prior to any blower adjustment, electrical service must
be turned OFF.
This furnace is equipped with a 3 speed direct drive
motor to deliver a temperature rise within the range
specified on the rating label, between the return and
supply plenums, at the external duct static pressure noted
on the rating label.
20541501Issue 0240 Page 20 of 26
Page 23
Adjust the blower speed so that the temperature rise
is within the rise specified on the rating plate. Consult the
wiring diagram for speed changes on the direct drive
motor.
Limit Control Checkout:
After the furnace has been in operation for at least 15
minutes, restrict the return air supply by blocking the
filters or closing the return registers and allow the furnace
to shut down on high limit. The main burners will shut
OFF and the main blower and combustion blower should
continue to run. Remove the restriction and the burners
should come back on in a few minutes.
Figure 16
FLAME ROLLOUT SWITCH
Flame Rollout Switch:
This unit is equipped with two (2) manual reset flamerollout switches that protects against improper venting of
the flue gases from the heat exchanger due to blockage
causing heat (or flames) to "rollout" into the burner box
from the heat exchangers, either safety device will
activate and shut off power to the automatic gas valve
before there is damage to the furnace. The loss of power
to the gas valve will shut off the gas burners. Should this
occur, it will be necessary to determine the cause of the
rollout, correct the condition that caused it, and reset the
flame-rollout switch.
The furnace should be allowed to cool-off before
attempting to reset the switch. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in injury due to burns!
The switch located behind the burner access panel is
accessed by removing the burner access panel from the
furnace, and is reset by pushing in the button in the
middle of the switch (between the two wire connections See Figure 16). Very little force is required to push the
reset button, and a "click" should be heard when the
switch resets.
Pressure Switch Check:
To check the operation of the pressure switch vent
safety control, remove the vent adaptor from the
combustion blower. Place the furnace into operation.
Gradually cover up the blower outlet; the main burners
should shut OFF. Remove the restriction and the unit
should relight. Replace the vent adaptor and reseal the
opened joints as required.
The operational checkout is now complete. Be sure
to adjust the thermostat to the desired setting and inform
the homeowner how to operate the furnace system before
leaving the job site.
If the pressure switch activates to shut the furnace
down, the vent system must be checked and
cleared. Failure to do so may result in serious
bodily harm or nuisance furnace shutdown and/or
a hazardous condition that may lead to property
damage, personal injury or death.

USER'S INFORMATION MANUAL
Gas-Fired Furnace
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL AND RETAIN THIS AND ALL ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Congratulations...
...you have one of the most modern gas furnaces made.
Your unit has been carefully selected to keep you warm
and comfortable during the winter months. It will deliver
superb performance with only minimal help from you.
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
To keep your operating costs low and to eliminate
unnecessary service calls, we have provided a few
guidelines. These guidelines will help you understand
how your gas furnace operates and how to maintain it so
you can get years of safe and dependable service.
GAMA Certified
The Gas Appliance Manufacturers Association (GAMA)
symbol verifies that Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency
(AFUE) ratings for our gas furnaces have been derived
from U.S. Government standard tests.
CSA International Design Certified
The CSA International symbols on each nameplate is
your assurance that your furnace design meets nationally
recognized standards for safety and performance.
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly
could result in serious injury death or
property damage.
— Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
— What to do if you smell gas:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do
not use any phone in your building.
• Leave the building immediately.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from
a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas
supplier's instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier,
call the fire department.
— Installation and service must be
performed by a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.
A flood-damaged furnace is extremely dangerous.
Attempts to use the furnace can result in fire or explosion.
A qualified service agency should be contacted to inspect
the furnace and to replace all gas controls, control system
parts, electrical parts that have been wet or the furnace
if deemed necessary.
• Do check to see that your home has adequate
insulation, weatherstripping, caulking, and storm
windows. Elimination of infiltration of outside air and
drafts can save up to 40% of your fuel bill.
• Do consider adding a humidifier to your heating
system. Higher indoor humidity slows evaporation
of perspiration, making the home seem warmer.
• Don't waste fuel by setting your thermostat too high.
Energy conservation experts recommend a daytime
thermostat setting of 68°F, with a lower setting at
night.
• Don't turn off the furnace when you expect to be
away for more than a day. Instead, lower the
thermostat setting a few degrees. You can then
restore normal comfort level quickly and save fuel
too.
• Don't block registers with furniture.
• Don't put a lamp, TV, or radio too near your
thermostat. This will cause it to give a false reading.
The furnace area must be kept clear and free of
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids. Failure to do so
could cause actions that may result in property
damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

Temperature Control
There are many types and styles of thermostats. Yours
may look different from the one pictured in Figure 2,
depending on the type of thermostat and whether cooling
was installed with the system. However, almost all
thermostats perform the same basic functions described
in the following section.
What to do if your unit is not heating properly
If your furnace is operating but fails to provide complete
comfort, check the following before calling for service:
1. Be sure the thermostat setting is correct.
2. Check to see if the filter is clean.
3. Be sure air can circulate freely throughout your home.
Do not block supply registers or return grilles with
furniture or rugs.
And if you also have cooling...
4. Keep surface of the outdoor coil free from dirt, lint,
paper, or leaves.
5. Check and clean indoor coil, if necessary. (This
check should be made at the start of each cooling
season by your service technician).
What to do if your unit fails to operate
1. Be sure the main switch that supplies power to the
furnace is in the "ON" position.
2. Replace any burned-out fuses or reset circuit
breakers.
3. Be sure the thermostat is properly set.

Maintenance Of Your Furnace
Always shut off all power to the unit before
attempting any of the following maintenance
procedures. Failure to do so may result in personal
injury.
There are routine maintenance steps you should take to
keep your furnace operating efficiently. This maintenance
will assure longer life, lower operating costs, and fewer
service calls. In addition to the maintenance procedures
listed in this manual, there are also other service and
maintenance procedures that require the skills of a
service person who has specialized tools and training.
(See "Servicing the Furnace" section of the Installation
and Servicing part of this booklet.) Personal injury can
result if you are not qualified to do this work. Please
call your dealer when service is needed.
Cleaning
The cabinet of the furnace can be cleaned with soap and
water. Grease spots can be removed with a household
cleaning agent. The cabinet can be kept attractive by
polishing with automotive wax at least twice a year.
authorized dealer at once to obtain a qualified service
inspection:
• Rust, flakes, or other deposits
• Coatings
• Corrosion
Even if no unusual rust or other conditions are observed,
it is recommended that the furnace be inspected and
serviced at least once per year by a qualified service
technician. Regular inspection and planned
maintenance will assure many years of economical
performance from your gas furnace.
Combustion Air
Adequate combustion and ventilation air must reach
your gas furnace to provide for proper and safe
operation. Do not block or obstruct air openings on
the furnace, air openings communicating with the
area in which the furnace is installed and the
spacing around the furnace. Any obstruction of this
airflow can cause an unsafe condition which may
result in death or permanent injury.
Installations Around Insulation
Insulating materials may be combustible. Therefore, a
furnace installed in an attic or other insulated space must
be kept free and clear of insulating materials. Make sure
to examine the furnace area when the furnace is installed
or additional insulation has been added.
Periodic Inspections
Your gas furnace is designed to give many years of
efficient, satisfactory service. However, the varied air
pollutants commonly found in most areas can affect
longevity and safety. Chemicals contained in everyday
household items such as laundry detergents, cleaning
sprays, hair sprays, deodorizers, and other products
which produce airborne residuals may have an adverse
affect upon the metals used to construct your appliance.
It is important that you conduct periodic physical
inspections of your appliance, paying special attention to
the gas burner and the flue outlet from the furnace.
These components are located at the front of the unit. A
flashlight will be useful for these inspections. Make one
inspection prior to the beginning of the heating season
and another during the middle.
Furnaces located in a closet, alcove, or utility room must
have provision for adequate air supply by means of upper
and lower grilles in the door, or by the introduction of
outside air, or both. National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 (latest edition), CAN/CGA B149.1 & .2 Installation
Codes (latest edition), and local requirements are
generally alike. However, local codes take precedence.
Venting and Furnace Support
Venting of this furnace must comply with our published
instructions. Be sure the installer has followed these
requirements. If not, you should request the installer to
comply as soon as possible.
For your safety, please note the following:
1. 80% furnaces may be common vented with another
appliance in certain circumstances. Refer to the
installation instructions and Category I Venting
Tables, Nationa Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (latest
edition), for proper installation guidelines. In Canada,
see CAN/CGA B149.1 & .2 Installation Codes (latest
edition).
Should you observe unusual amounts of any of the
following conditions, it is important that you call your
20541401Issue 0229 Page 4 of 6
2. This furnace is not designed for use with a vent
damper. Use of such a device will not improve the
efficiency of this furnace.
Page 33
The vent from your furnace may rise vertically and
terminate above the roof. When horizontal venting an
80% furnace, an approved sidewall venter must be used.
Refer to the installation instructions for further information
on horizontal venting of an 80% furnace.
Make sure all flue product carrying areas and materials
external to the furnace (i.e vent terminals, etc..) are clear
and free of any obstruction, slope upward, and have no
holes or leaks.
Check to see that the furnace cabinet is sound and firmly
supported, without sagging. There should be no cracks
or gaps between the furnace and the base or floor, which
would permit entry of unfiltered air.
It is important that the outside area where the vent
terminates is kept clear of any obstructions which might
block or impede the venting of the furnace. Should
venting become blocked at anytime, your furnace is
equipped with a special safety control to prevent
operation of the furnace until the condition has been
corrected. Contact your dealer if you desire more
information about this safety feature.
If your air distribution system has a central return air filtergrille, you do not need a filter in your furnace. Clean the
filter-grille the same way permanent filters are cleaned.

BOTTOM/END
RETURN
The blower compartment door on your high efficiency gas
furnace is equipped with a safety interlock switch that will
automatically shut off your complete system (including
blower) once the door is removed. This is for your
personal safety. Be sure to check your furnace for proper
operation once the door or panel has been replaced.
If the system does not operate once the panel has been
replaced, try removing and replacing it once again. If the
furnace still does not operate, call your dealer for service.
Should any unusual conditions be observed during your
inspections, call an authorized service dealer immediately.
For proper venting terminations, see the Installation
Instructions furnished with the furnace.
Return Air
Ascertain that all return air duct connections are tight and
sealed to the furnace cabinet and that all return air grilles
or registers are located outside the space containing the
furnace.
Cleaning/Replacing the Filter
It is very important to clean or replace the air filter
regularly. Dirty filters are the most common cause of
inadequate heating or cooling performance and can
sharply increase the operational costs of your unit. In
some cases, they can double the cost. The air filter
should be inspected at least every 6 weeks and
cleaned or replaced as required.
Your furnace may use either a disposable filter or a
permanent filter. The type of filter may be indicated on a
label attached to the filter. If a disposable filter is used,
replace with the same type and size. If a permanent filter
is used, clean filter and place back in furnace. To clean
a permanent filter, shake filter to remove excess dirt
and/or use a vacuum cleaner. Wash filter in soap or
detergent water and replace after filter is dry. Permanent
filters do not need to be oiled after washing.
Rollout Switch
This unit is equipped with a manual reset high
temperature sensor or rollout switch. In the unlikely event
of a sustained main burner flame rollout, the rollout switch
will shut off the flow of gas by closing the main gas valve.
The switch is located inside the gas burner area. Flame
rollout can be caused by blockage of the power vent
system, a blocked heat exchanger, or improper gas
pressure or adjustment. If this event occurs, the unit will
not operate properly. The gas supply to the unit should
be shut off and no attempt should be made to place it
in operation. The system should be inspected by a
qualified service technician.
Lubrication
Lubrication of the bearings in the circulating air blower
motor and the combustion blower motor is not
recommended.
Burner Flame
While the furnace is in operation, observe the main
burner flames. Compare these observations to Figure 3
to determine if proper flame adjustment is present. If
your observations indicate improper flame adjustment, call
your authorized service dealer for service.
Permanent filters may be replaced with disposable filters.
Refer to Table 1 when selecting the proper size and
quantity of disposable filter.
