WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, person­al injury or loss of life. Installation and service must be performed by a licensed professional installer (or equivalent), service agency or the gas supplier.
CAUTION
As with any mechanical equipment, personal injury can result from contact with sharp sheet metal edges. Be careful when you handle this equipment.
Certifications
ML180UH units are CSA International certified to ANSI Z21.47.
In the USA, installation of gas furnaces must conform with local building codes. In the absence of local codes, units must be installed according to the current National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1). The National Fuel Gas Code is available from the following address:
American National Standards Institute, Inc. 11 West 42nd Street New York, NY 10036
Clearances
Adequate clearance must be made around the air open­ings into the vestibule area. In order to ensure proper unit operation, combustion and ventilation air supply must be provided according to the current National Fuel Gas Code.
Vent installations must be consistent with the venting tables (in this instruction) and applicable provisions of local building codes.
This furnace is CSA International certified for installation clearances to combustible material as listed on the unit nameplate and in the tables in figures 8 and 12. Accessibility and service clearances must take precedence over fire protection clearances.
NOTE − For installation on combustible floors, the furnace shall not be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible material other than wood flooring.
Installed Locations
For installation in a residential garage, the furnace must be installed so that the burner(s) and the ignition source are located no less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles. When a furnace is installed in a public garage, hangar, or other building that has a haz­ardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed accord­ing to recommended good practice requirements and cur­rent National Fuel Gas Code.

When installed, this furnace must be electrically grounded according to local codes. In addition, in the United States, installation must conform with the current National Elec­tric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. The National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70) is available from the following ad­dress:
National Fire Protection Association 1 Battery March Park Quincy, MA 02269
NOTE − This furnace is designed for a minimum continu­ous return air temperature of 60°F (16°C) or an intermit­tent operation down to 55°F (13°C) dry bulb for cases where a night setback thermostat is used. Return air tem­perature must not exceed 85°F (29°C) dry bulb.
The ML180UH furnace may be installed in alcoves, clos­ets, attics, basements, garages, crawl spaces and utility rooms in the upflow or horizontal position.
This furnace design has not been CSA International certified for installation in mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or outdoors.
Use of Furnace as Construction Heater
Lennox does not recommend the use of ML180UH units as a construction heater during any phase of construction. Very low return air temperatures, harmful vapors and op­eration of the unit with clogged or misplaced filters will dam­age the unit.
ML180UH 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.
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 ML180UH furnace:
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.
Page 5
Do not install the furnace where drafts might blow direct-
ly into it. This could cause improper combustion and un­safe operation.
Do not block the furnace combustion air openings with
clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is needed for proper combustion and safe unit operation.
When the furnace is installed in an attic or other insu-
lated space, keep insulation away from the furnace.
NOTE − The Commonwealth of Massachusetts stipu­lates these additional requirements:
D Gas furnaces shall be installed by a licensed plumb-
er or 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.

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 ML180UH 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). 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.
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.
Page 6
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 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.

Air from Inside
If the confined space that houses the furnace adjoins a space categorized as unconfined, air can be brought in by 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 (64516 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 3.
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 4 and 5. 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 6.
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 1 lists recommended filter sizes. A filter must be in place any time the unit is operating.

Side Return Bottom Return
Filter Size
Duct System
Use industry-approved standards (such as those pub­lished by Air Conditioning Contractors of America or Ameri­can Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers) 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.
NOTE − Do not operate the furnace in the heating mode with an external static pressure that exceeds 0.5 inches w.c. Higher external static pressures may cause erratic lim­it operation.
Supply Air Plenum
If the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, a removable access panel must be installed in the supply air duct. The access panel should be large enough to permit inspection (either by smoke or reflected light) of the heat exchanger for leaks after the furnace is installed. The furnace access panel must always be in place when the furnace is operat­ing and it must not allow leaks into the supply air duct sys­tem.
Return Air Plenum
NOTE − Return air must not be drawn from a room­where 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.
In upflow applications, the return air can be brought in through the bottom or either side of the furnace. If a fur­nace with bottom return air is installed on a platform, make an airtight seal between the bottom of the furnace and the platform to ensure that the unit operates properly and safely. Use fiberglass sealing strips, caulking, or equiva­lent sealing method between the plenum and the furnace cabinet to ensure a tight seal. If a filter is installed, size the return air duct to fit the filter frame.

The ML180UH series units are classified as fan−assisted Category I furnaces when vertically vented according to the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1) in the USA. 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. The ML180UH is not approved for use with horizontal venting.
NO T E − 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 in these instructions
The venting tables in this manual were extracted from the National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1) 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.
Use self−drilling sheet metal screws or a mechanical fas­tener to firmly secure the vent pipe to the round collar of the flue transition. If self−drilling screws are used to attach the vent pipe, it is recommended that three be used. Drive one self−drilling screw through the front and one through each side of the vent pipe and collar. See figure 23.
Install the first vent connector elbow at a minimum of six inches (152 mm) from the furnace vent outlet. See figure
23.
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 24 and 25 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 listed metal 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 24.
IMPORTANT
Once the venting system is installed, attach the Dis­connected Vent" warning sticker to a visible area of the plenum near the vent pipe. See figure 23. The warning sticker is provided in the bag assembly. Or­der kit 66W04 for additional stickers.
WARNING
Asphyxiation hazard. The exhaust vent for this fur­nace must be securely connected to the furnace flue transition at all times.

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.
A fan−assisted furnace may be commonly vented into an existing lined masonry chimney if the following conditions are met:
The chimney is currently serving at least one drafthood−
equipped appliance;
The vent connectors and chimney are sized according
to the provided venting tables. 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 ML180UH 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.
General Venting Requirements
Vent all ML180UH furnaces according to these instruc­tions:
1 − Vent diameter recommendations and maximum allow-
able piping runs are found in the provided venting tables.
2 − In no case should the vent or vent connector diameter
be less than the diameter specified in the provided venting tables.
3 − The minimum vent capacity determined by the sizing
tables must be less than the low fire input rating and the maximum vent capacity must be greater than the high fire input rating.
4 − 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.
5 − 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.

pliances must be located in or pass through a crawl­space, attic 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.
14 − 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).
15 − No portion of the venting system can extend into, or pass
through any circulation air duct or plenum.
Page 17
16 − 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.
17 − 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).
18 − The common vent diameter must always be at least as
large as the largest vent connector diameter.
19 − 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.
20 − Do not install a manual damper, barometric draft regu-
lator or flue restrictor between the furnace and the chimney.
21 − 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. 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.
WARNING
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 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 burner have operated for 5 minutes, test for
leaks of flue gases at the draft hood relief opening. Use the flame of a match or candle.
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.
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.
Page 22
Gas Piping
Gas supply piping should not allow more than 0.5"W.C. drop in pressure between gas meter and unit. Supply gas pipe must not be smaller than unit gas connection.
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 in vertical pipe runs to the unit.
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. The flexible connector can then be added between the black iron pipe and the gas supply line.
Gas Supply
5 − A 1/8" N.P.T. plugged tap or pressure post is located
on the gas valve to facilitate test gauge connection. See figure 35.
6 − 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.
1 − This unit is shipped standard for left or right side instal-
lation of gas piping (or top entry in horizontal applica­tions). 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 9
Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must be resistant to the actions of liquified petro­leum gases.
IMPORTANT
lists recommended pipe sizes for typical applications.
3 − The gas piping must not run in or through air ducts,
clothes chutes, gas vents or chimneys, dumb waiters, or elevator shafts.
NOTE − If emergency shutoff is necessary, shut off the main manual gas valve and disconnect main power to the fur­nace. The installer should properly label these devices.

Leak Check
After gas piping is completed, carefully check all piping connections (factory− and field−installed) for gas leaks. Use a leak detecting solution or other preferred means.
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.
The unit is equipped with a field make−up box on the left hand side of the cabinet. The make−up box may be moved to the right side of the furnace to facilitate installation. If the make−up box is moved to the right side, clip the wire ties that bundle the wires together. The excess wire must be pulled into the blower compartment. Secure the excess wire to the existing harness to protect it from damage.
INTERIOR MAKE−UP BOX INSTALLATION
CAUTION
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.
The furnace must be isolated by closing its individual manual shut-off valve and disconnecting from from the gas supply system the during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa, 14 inches w.c.).
IMPORTANT
When testing pressure of gas lines, gas valve must be disconnected and isolated. See figure 28. Gas valves can be damaged if subjected to pressures greater than 1/2 psig (3.48 kPa, 14 inches w.c.).

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
Precautions and Procedures
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic com­ponents. Take precautions during furnace installa­tion and service to protect the furnace’s electronic controls. Precautions will help to avoid control ex­posure to electrostatic discharge by putting the fur­nace, the control and the technician at the same electrostatic potential. Neutralize electrostatic charge by touching hand and all tools on an un­painted unit surface, such as the gas valve or blower deck, before performing any service procedure.
FIGURE 30
Refer to figure 32 for schematic wiring diagram and trou­bleshooting and figure 33 for field wiring.
The power supply wiring must meet Class I restrictions. Protected by either a fuse or circuit breaker, select circuit protection and wire size according to unit nameplate.
NOTE − Unit nameplate states maximum current draw. Maximum over−current protection allowed is 15 AMP.
Holes are on both sides of the furnace cabinet to facilitate wiring.
Install a separate (properly sized) disconnect switch near the furnace so that power can be turned off for servicing.
Page 25
Before connecting the thermostat, check to make sure the wires will be long enough for servicing at a later date. Make sure that thermostat wire is long enough to facilitate future removal of blower for service.
Complete the wiring connections to the equipment. Use the provided unit wiring diagram and the field wiring diagram shown in figure 33. Use 18−gauge wire or larger that is suit­able for Class II rating for thermostat connections.
Electrically ground the unit according to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, according to the current Na­tional Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70). A green ground wire is provided in the field make−up box.
NOTE − The ML180UH furnace contains electronic compo­nents that are polarity sensitive. Make sure that the furnace is wired correctly and is properly grounded.
The furnace requires 120 volts + 10% (Range: 108
volts to 132 volts).
The furnace operates at 60 Hz +
5% (Range: 57 Hz to
63 Hz).
The furnace integrated control requires both polarity
and proper ground. Both polarity and proper grounding should be checked before attempting to operate the furnace on either permanent or temporary power.
Generator should have a wave form distortion of less
than 5% RHD.
Thermostat
Install the room thermostat according to the instructions provided with the thermostat. See figure 31 for thermostat designations. If the furnace is being matched with a heat pump, refer to the FM21 installation instruction or appropri­ate dual fuel thermostat instructions.
Accessory Terminals
One line voltage EAC" 1/4" spade terminal is provided on the furnace integrated control. See figure 34 for integrated control configuration. This terminal is energized when the indoor blower is operating. Any accessory rated up to one amp can be connected to this terminal with the neutral leg of the circuit being connected to one of the provided neutral terminals. If an accessory rated at greater than one amp is connected to this terminal, it is necessary to use an exter­nal relay.
One line voltage HUM" 1/4" spade terminal is provided on the furnace integrated control. See figure 34 for integrated control configuration. This terminal is energized in the heating mode when the combustion air inducer is operat­ing. Any humidifier rated up to one amp can be connected to this terminal with the neutral leg of the circuit being con­nected to one of the provided neutral terminals. If a humidi­fier rated at greater than one amp is connected to this termi­nal, it is necessary to use an external relay relay.

FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING
WARNING
Do not use this furnace if any part has been under­water. A flood−damaged furnace is extremely dan­gerous. Attempts to use the furnace can result in fire or explosion. Immediately call a qualified ser­vice technician to inspect the furnace and to replace all gas controls, control system parts, and electrical parts that have been wet or to replace the furnace, if deemed necessary.
WARNING
If overheating occurs or if gas supply fails to shut off, shut off the manual gas valve to the appliance before shutting off electrical supply.
CAUTION
Before attempting to perform any service or mainte­nance, turn the electrical power to unit OFF at dis­connect switch.
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 ML180UH unit will be equipped with a gas control switch. Use only your hand to move the switch. Never use tools. If the switch will not turn or if the control switch will not move by hand, do not try to repair it.
Placing the furnace into operation:
ML180UH units are equipped with an automatic 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 an automatic 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 (Figure 35)
1 − STOP! Read the safety information at the beginning of
this section.
2 − Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
3 − Turn off all electrical power to the unit.
4 − This furnace is equipped with an ignition device which
automatically lights the burners. Do not try to light the burners by hand.
5 − Remove the upper access panel. 6 − Move switch on gas valve to OFF. Do not force. See
figure 35.
7 − Wait five minutes to clear out any gas. If you then smell
gas, STOP! Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instruc­tions. If you do not smell gas go to next step.

3 − After a 15−second prepurge, the hot surface ignitor en-
ergizes.
4 − After a 20−second ignitor warm−up period, the gas
valve solenoid opens. A 4−second trial for ignition peri­od begins.
5 − Gas is ignited, flame sensor proves the flame, and the
combustion process continues.
6 − 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.
7 − To interrupt the 60−minute WATCHGUARD" period,
move thermostat from Heat" to OFF" then back to Heat." Heating sequence then restarts at step 1.

Furnace should operate at least 5 minutes before check­ing gas flow. Determine time in seconds for two revolu- tions of gas through the meter. (Two revolutions assures a more accurate time.) Divide by two and compare to time in table 10 below. If manifold pressure matches table 12 and rate is incorrect, check gas orifices for proper size and restriction. Remove temporary gas meter if installed.
NOTE − To obtain accurate reading, shut off all other gas appliances connected to meter.

Supply Pressure Measurement
A threaded plug on the inlet side of the gas valve provides access to the supply pressure tap. Remove the threaded plug, install a field−provided barbed fitting and connect a manometer to measure supply pressure. See table 12 for proper line pressure. Replace the threaded plug after mea­surements have been taken.
Manifold Pressure Measurement
1 − Remove the threaded plug from the outlet side of the
gas valve and install a field−provided barbed fitting. Connect to a manometer to measure manifold pres­sure.
2 − Start unit and allow 5 minutes for unit to reach steady
state.
3 − While waiting for the unit to stabilize, observe the
flame. Flame should be stable and should not lift from burner. Natural gas should burn blue.
4 − After allowing unit to stabilize for 5 minutes, record
manifold pressure and compare to value given in table
12.
NOTE − Shut unit off and remove manometer as soon as an accurate reading has been obtained. Take care to remove barbed fitting and replace threaded plug.
Proper Combustion
Furnace should operate a minimum 15 minutes with cor­rect manifold pressure and gas flow rate before checking combustion. Take combustion sample beyond the flue out­let and compare to the tables below. The maximum car-
bon monoxide reading should not exceed 50 ppm.

Primary and Secondary Limits
The primary limit is located on the heating compartment vestibule panel. The secondary limits (if equipped) are lo­cated in the blower compartment, attached to the back side of the blower. These auto reset limits are factory−set and re­quire no adjustment.
Flame Rollout Switches
This manually reset switches are located on the top of the burner box.
Pressure Switch
The pressure switch is located in the heating compartment adjacent to the combustion air inducer. The switch checks for proper combustion air inducer operation before allow­ing ignition trial. The switch is factory−set and requires no adjustment.
Temperature Rise
After the furnace has been started, and supply and return
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 adjust the temperature rise may cause erratic limit operation.
Fan Control
The fan−on time of 30 seconds is not adjustable. The heat fan−off delay (amount of time that the blower operates after the heat demand has been satisfied) may be adjusted by changing the jumper position across the five pins on the in­tegrated control. The unit is shipped with a factory fan−off delay 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 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 36.

Electronic Ignition
The integrated control has an added feature of an internal Watchguard control. The feature serves as an automatic re­set device for integrated control lockout caused by ignition failure. This type of lockout is usually due to low gas line pressure. After one hour of continuous thermostat demand for heat, the Watchguard will break and remake thermostat demand to the furnace and automatically reset the inte­grated control to begin the ignition sequence.

When servicing controls, label all wires prior to dis­connecting. Take care to reconnect wires correctly. 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 ML180UH 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 1 lists recommended filter sizes.
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.
Electrical
1 − Check all wiring for loose connections. 2 − Check for the correct voltage at the furnace (furnace
operating). Correct voltage is 120VAC + 10%.
3 − Check amp−draw on the blower motor with inner blow-
er panel in place.

Cleaning the Heat Exchanger and Burners
NOTE − Use papers or protective covering in front of the fur­nace during cleaning.
1 − Turn off both electrical and gas power supplies to fur-
nace.
2 − Remove flue pipe and top cap (some applications top
cap can remain) from the unit.
3 − Label the wires from gas valve, rollout switches, prima-
ry limit switch and make−up box then disconnect them.
4 − Remove the screws that secure the combustion air in-
ducer/pressure switch assembly to the collector box. Carefully remove the combustion air inducer to avoid damaging blower gasket. If gasket is damaged, it must be replaced to prevent leakage.

5 − Remove the collector box located behind the combus-
tion air inducer. Be careful with the collector box gas­ket. If the gasket is damaged, it must be replaced to prevent leakage.
6 − Disconnect gas supply piping. Remove the screw se-
curing the burner box cover and remove cover. Re­move the four screws securing the burner manifold as­sembly to the vestibule panel and remove the assembly from the unit.
7 − Remove screws securing burner box and remove
burner box.
8 − NOX units only − Remove screw securing NOX insert.
Remove NOX insert. See figure 38.

9 − Remove screws from both sides, top and bottom of
vestibule panel.
10 − Remove heat exchanger. It may be necessary to
spread cabinet side to allow more room. If so, remove five screws from the left side or right side of cabinet. See figure 39.
11 − Backwash using steam. Begin from the burner opening
on each clam. Steam must not exceed 275°F.
12 −To clean burners, run a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush
attachment over the face of burners. Visually inspect in­side the burners and crossovers for any blockage caused by foreign matter. Remove any blockage. Figure 37 shows burner detail.
13 − To clean the combustion air inducer visually inspect and
using a wire brush clean where necessary. Use com­pressed air to clean off debris and any rust.
14 −Reinstall heat exchanger in vestibule. (Replace the
five screws in the cabinet from step 10 if removed).
15 − NOx units only − Replace NOx inserts.
16 − Reinstall collector box and combustion air assembly.
Reinstall all screws to the collector box and combustion air inducer. Failure to replace all screws may cause leaks. Inspect gaskets for any damage and replace if necessary.
17 − Reinstall burner box, manifold assembly and burner box
cover.

22 −Set thermostat and check for proper operation.
23 −Check all piping connections, factory and field, for gas
leaks. Use a leak detecting solution or other preferred
means.
CAUTION
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.
24 −If a leak is detected, shut gas and electricity off and
repair leak.
25 −Repeat steps 24 and 26 until no leaks are detected.
26 −Replace access panel.

Planned Service
The following items should be checked during an annual inspection. Power to the unit must be shut off for the service techni­cian’s 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.
Operating performance − Unit must be observed during operation to monitor proper performance of the unit and the vent system.
Burners − Must be inspected for rust, dirt, or signs of water.
Vent pipe − Must be inspected for signs of water, damaged
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 panel − 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.
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.
