Refer to T able 1 for the minimum clearances to combustibles required for construction and proper unit operation.
Accessibility clearances must take precedence over fire protection clearances.
Minimum Clearances to Combustibles
Table 1
Insufficient combustion air can cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, or asphyxiation. When considering combustion air requirements, enough air must also be provided to meet the needs of all fuel-burning appliances and exhaust fans.
W ARNING
Air openings in the front of the furnace must be kept free of obstructions. Any obstruction may cause improper operation that can result in a fire hazard or carbon monoxide injury .
Unconfined Space
An unconfined space is defined as “a space whose volume is more than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU per hour of the combined input rating of all appliances installed in that space.” When a furnace is installed in an unconfined space in a building, it can be assumed that the infiltration will be sufficient to supply the required air . If the furnace is installed in a ventilated attic or crawl space, it is assumed that the infiltration is sufficient to supply the required air . However , in a building of unusually tight construction, additional outdoor air should be provided.
506305-01Page 4 of 36 Issue 0938
Page 5
Confined Space
A confined sp ace is defined as “a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU per hour of the combined input rating of all appliances installed in that space.”
If the furnace is installed in a confined space within the building and combustion air is taken from a heated space, the combustion air and ventilating air must enter and leave the space through two permanent openings of equal area. One opening shall be located within 12" of the ceiling and the other within 12" of the floor, each having a free area of 1 square inch per 1000 BTU/HR of total input rating of all appliances within the space and not less than 100 square inches each.
If the furnace is installed in a space within a building of tight construction, makeup air must be supplied from outdoors. In this case, one opening shall be within 12" of the ceiling and one opening within 12" of the floor. If combustion ducts are vertical, each opening shall have a free area of 1 square inch per 4000 BTU/HR of the total input rating of all appliances within the enclosure. If horizontal combustion ducts are run, 1 square inch per 2000 BTU/HR is required.
Contaminated Combustion Air
Excessive exposure to contaminated combustion air will result in safety and performance related problems. The recommended source of combustion air is outdoor air. However, the use of indoor air in most applications is acceptable if the following guidelines are followed:
1. If the furnace is installed in a confined space, it is
recommended that the necessary combustion air come from the outdoors by way of an attic, crawl space, air duct, or direct opening.
2. If indoor combustion air is used, there must be no exposure
to the substances listed in item 5.
3. All provisions for indoor combustion air must meet the
requirements for combustion air indicated in the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 (latest edition), and/or any applicable local codes. In Canada, see CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes (latest edition).
4. The following types of installation may require outdoor air for combustion, due to chemical exposures:
Commercial buildings
Buildings with indoor pools
Furnaces installed in laundry rooms
Furnaces installed in hobby or craft rooms
Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas
5. Exposure to the following substances in the combustion air supply may also require outdoor air for combustion:
Permanent wave solutions
Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
Chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals
Water softening chemicals
Deicing salts or chemicals
Carbon tetrachloride
Halogen-type refrigerants
Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
Cements and glues
Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
Masonry acid washing materials
Chlorinated laundry products
Hydrochloric acid
Venting
The high efficiency of this furnace is accomplished by the removal of both sensible and latent heat from the flue gases. The removal of latent heat results in the condensation of moisture in the flue gases. This condensation occurs in the secondary heat exchanger and in the vent system. Therefore, this furnace requires special venting considerations and the instructions must be followed to insure proper operation. All venting must be in accordance with the codes having jurisdiction in the area and these instructions.
G1D91BU, G1D91BT , G1D93BU, G1D93BT and G1D93BC models can be installed as either direct vent or non-direct vent units. A direct vent (two pipe) installation requires that all the air necessary for combustion be supplied from outside the dwelling through an air intake pipe. A non-direct vent (one pipe) installation uses air from inside the dwelling for combustion.
The furnace is shipped with the air inlet pipe terminated to the top panel for either inside or outside combustion air . An inlet air restrictor plate (see Figure 2) is supplied with this furnace and can be found in the plastic bag containing these Installation Instructions and the User’s Information Manual. The inlet
restrictor plate must be used in all installations using inside air for combustion (non-direct vent).
Inlet Air Restrictor Plate
The inlet air restrictor plate must be installed in all installations using inside air for combustion (non-direct vent).
Flue Pipe Screen
The flue pipe screen should be installed at the termination of the flue pipe in all installations.
506305-01 Page 5 of 36Issue 0938
Figure 2
Page 6
The inlet restrictor plate must be installed in the air inlet in one of three ways:
Restrictor plate in inlet collar: Install the restrictor plate in the inlet pipe collar in the top panel of the furnace. Insert a 3" to 36" section of PVC pipe (field supplied) into the collar. Use high temperature RTV sealant to attach PVC pipe to collar. A 90° elbow (field supplied) may be attached to the PVC pipe, but the elbow is not required. Use high temperature RTV sealant to attach elbow to PVC pipe (if applicable).
Restrictor plate in inlet pipe: Insert a 3" to 36" section of PVC pipe (field supplied) into the collar. Use high temperature RTV sealant to attach PVC pipe to collar. Install the restrictor plate in the end of the inlet pipe just installed. Attach either a field-supplied coupler or 90° elbow to the end of the PVC pipe to keep the restrictor plate in place. Use high temperature RTV sealant to attach the coupler or elbow to PVC pipe.
Restrictor plate in elbow: Insert a 3" to 36" section of PVC pipe (field supplied) into the collar. Use high temperature RTV sealant to attach PVC pipe to collar. Attach a 90° elbow (field supplied) to the PVC pipe. Use high temperature RTV sealant to attach elbow to PVC pipe. Install the restrictor plate into the elbow .
When a furnace is installed as direct vent, provisions for ventilation air should follow the same requirements as if installed as non-direct vent. Proper ventilation air is necessary to maintain furnace component temperatures within acceptable limits.
All vents passing through floors, ceilings, and walls must be installed in accordance with National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFP A 54 (latest edition).
The length of flue pipe exposed to outdoor conditions should be kept to a minimum. When the installation requires more than 3 feet of flue pipe be exposed to outdoor conditions, insulating the exposed flue pipe with 1/2” Armaflex or equivalent is recommended. In climates with design temperatures below zero degrees (F), 3/4” Armaflex or equivalent is recommended.
Materials
All pipe, fittings, primer, and solvent cement must conform with American National S tandard Institute and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) standards. The solvent shall be free flowing and contain no lumps, undissolved particles, or any foreign matter that adversely affects the joint strength or chemical resistance of the
Two dif ferent sized inlet restrictor plates are supplied with the furnace (2" and 3"). Use the proper restrictor plate for the furnace model.
W ARNING
If at any time in the future the installation of this furnace is changed to require outside fresh air for combustion, the inlet air restrictor plate must be removed. Failure to remove the inlet air restrictor could cause improper operation that can result in a fire hazard or carbon monoxide injury .
Also included in the plastic bag containing the inlet air restriction plate is a flue pipe screen (see Figure 2). In all installations, this screen sould be installed at the termination of the flue pipe and is designed to keep objects out of the flue pipe.
For either type of installation (direct or non-direct vent), special venting considerations must be followed. Refer to the proper section in pages 11 – 17 for the type of furnace and venting being installed.
The venting system must be supported with mounting straps to prevent any weight load from being applied to the vent blower. Horizontal vent pipe must be supported every 5' and vertical pipe should be supported every 10' to prevent sagging and provide rigid support.

Refer to Table 2 for approved piping and fitting materials. Canadian Applications Only: PVC pipe, fittings, primer
and solvent cement used to vent this applicance must be certified to ULC S636 and supplied by a single manufacturer as part of an approved venting system. In addition, the first three feet of vent pipe from the furnace flue collar must be accessible for inspection. Models that may be installed as a horizontal furnace include a horizontal drain kit. In Canada this drain kit must be replaced by a locally available IPEX Drain Kit # 196014. For Local IPEX Canadian Customer
Service Center and Kit abailability call IPEX at 1-866-473-
9462.
The primers and solvents used must also meet ASTM specifications. PVC primer is specified in ASTM F656. Use PVC solvent as specified in ASTM D2564 and ABS solvent cement as specified ASTM D2235. Low temperature solvent cement is recommended. Metal or plastic strapping may be used for vent pipe hangers.
When making ABS joint s, pieces can be prepared with a clean dry cloth to clean inside socket surface of fitting and male end of pipe to depth of socket. Refer to procedure specified in ASTM D3138. When joining ABS to PVC materials, use transition solvent.
Preferred fittings are DWV style or long sweep. Seal all joints gas tight with appropriate cement. In areas where vent and air intake pipes are exposed to abnormal stress or are subject to damage, schedule 80 pipe should be used.
Category IV Furnace Limitations
This furnace shall not be connected to any Type B, BW, or L vent or vent connector and shall not be connected to any portion of a factory-built or masonry chimney . This furnace is not to
be common vented with any other appliance. The vent pipe must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a separate appliance designed to burn solid fuel.
Concentric Vent Kit
A concentric vent kit (see Accessories section on p age 31 for correct kit) is available for use when installing this furnace as a direct vent furnace and the air intake and vent pipe are to be run through the same hole, whether horizontally through the wall or vertically through the roof (see Figure 3). Refer to the instructions included with the concentric vent kit for installation specifics.
Vent Pipe Size and Length
The vent pipe and air intake pipe (in direct vent installations) should be sized in accordance with the information found in the appropriate table in Figure 4. One 90° elbow is equivalent to 5' of pipe. Two 45° elbows are equivalent to one 90° elbow. The minimum length certified for use with this furnace is 5' and one elbow, not including the vent and air intake terminals.
In the event that the pipe length is in between the lengths listed in the table, use the next larger length listed. For example, if a length of pipe needed to install the furnace is 27', use the diameter values for the 30' row in the tables. For direct vent installations, if the vent and air intake pipe are not equal in length and number of elbows, then determine the minimum pipe diameter for both the vent and air intake. If the results indicate different diameters, use the larger of the two for both the vent and air intake. Under no
circumstances should the vent and air intake pipe size be different in diameter. For installation details, refer to
the appropriate section in pages 11 – 17 for the unit model and type of installation.
High Altitude Installation: 2” pipe not recommended at altitude above 4,000 feet. 3” pipe required for altitude above 5,000 feet.
Horizontal Venting
The vent for this appliance shall not terminate over public walkways; or near soffit vents or crawl space vents or other areas where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or cause property damage; or where condensate vapor could cause damage or could be detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or other equipment.

G1D91BU, G1D91BT, G1D93BU and G1D93BT Upflow Models – Direct Vent Installation
An inlet air restrictor plate (see Figure 2 on page 5) is supplied with this furnace and can be found in the plastic bag containing these Installation Instructions and the User’s Information Manual. This
restrictor plate is to be used only in non-direct vent applications. See pages 5 and 6 for more information on installing
the restrictor plate in non-direct vent applications. The flue pipe screen (see Figure 2 on page 5) should be
installed at the termination of the flue pipe and is designed to keep objects out of the flue pipe. An additional screen should not be placed in the intake termination. If a screen is installed, the air intake may freeze shut.
For horizontal venting, refer to Figure 7. For vertical venting, refer to Figure 8. It is permissible to run the vent vertically through the roof and terminate it as shown in Figure 8, and to run the combustion air intake pipe horizontally through a side wall and terminate as shown in Figure 7. The vent pipe on horizontal runs must slope upward, away from the furnace, at a minimum pitch of 1/4" per foot of run, to prevent accumulation of condensate.

G1D91BT & G1D93BT Horizontal Models-Horizontal Venting – Low Clearance Installations
Vent pipe on horizontal runs must slope upward, away from the furnace, at a minimum pitch of 1/4" per foot of run, to prevent accumulation of condensate. In certain horizontal, left­to-right airflow applications, the furnace’s close proximity to the floor joists above the unit may make it difficult to obtain the required pitch/slope. Figure 19 and 20 show the accepted vent practice to obtain proper pitch/slope back to furnace for proper drainage. For direct vent applications, see Figure 19. For non-direct applications, see Figure 20.
In all applications, minimum clearances to combustibles must be observed (as shown in Table 1 on page 4) as well as all other required clearances shown in Figures 15 and 17 on pages 15 and 16.

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 common venting system are not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required in the Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFP A 54 (latest edition) or the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion, or other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to the venting system are located and other spaces in 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 unit being inspected in 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 (latest edition) and/or the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Prop ane Installation Codes.

Condensate Disposal Installation
The condensate drain should be routed directly to a locally acceptable disposal area. The condensate drain line should not be run directly to the outdoors especially in colder climates where temperatures may cause the condensate to freeze in the drain line.
In horizontal installations where clearance beneath the unit is limited, an alternate method for condensate disposal trap installation may be used (see Horizontal Installation – Tight
Clearance Below Unit on page 20).
Upflow or Counterflow Installation
Install the condensate drain line to the unit as follows. The condensate can be drained from either the right or left side of the furnace. Install the 1/2" NPT x 3/4" PVC adapter (supplied) in the drain on the side that the draining will occur. Install the plastic pipe plug opposite of the drain. Using 3/4" PVC pipe, make a connection from the adapter just installed to extend just outside the unit. Install a 3/4" PVC tee as shown in Figure 21. From the tee, install the drain to the disposal area. The top of the tee must be left open for proper condensate drainage.

Circulating Air Supply
When the furnace is installed so that the supply ducts carry air circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace, the return air shall be handled by a duct or ducts sealed to the furnace casing and terminated outside the space containing the furnace.
Combustible Floor Installation
(G1D93BC Counterflow Models Only)
Base
Assembly
Furnace
A return air duct system is recommended. If the unit is installed in a confined space or closet, a return connection must be run, full size, to a location outside the closet. The air duct in the closet must be tight to prevent any entrance of air from the closet into the circulating air.
If there is no complete return air duct system, the return air connection must be sealed to the furnace casing and run, full size, to a location outside the utility room or space housing the furnace to prevent a negative pressure on the venting system.
CAUTION
When an air conditioning unit is used in conjunction with the furnace, the evaporator coil must be installed in the discharge (supply) air. Do not install an evaporator coil in the return air; excessive condensation will occur within the furnace.
Outlet Duct
For installations not equipped with a cooling coil, a removable access panel must be provided in the outlet duct. The opening should be accessible when the furnace is placed in service. Smoke or reflected light may be observed inside the casing to indicate the presence of leaks in the heat exchanger. The cover for the opening shall be attached in such a manner as to prevent leaks. The recommended opening size is 6" x 14" for all sizes.
Duct Connection – G1D93BC Counterflow Models
If a unit is installed on a noncombustible floor , it may be installed directly over the supply duct or plenum. For installations on combustible flooring, a special base must be ordered and used. (See the Accessories section on page 31 for more information.) To install using the special base assembly, see Figure 34 and the following instructions:
1. Cut a hole in the floor, sized to provide 1" clearance between all four sides of the duct and the edge of the flooring. The four angles on the base assembly should recess into the floor joists and the base should rest on all four outside flanges.

3. Drop the duct connections through the top of the base assembly with the right angle flanges in good contact with the glass tape on top of the base assembly.
4. Carefully position the furnace over the right angle duct flanges.
Gas Supply and Piping
Refer to the furnace rating plate to make sure the furnace is equipped to burn the gas supplied (natural or propane).
W ARNING
Any conversion of a natural gas unit to propane gas must be done by qualified personnel using a conversion kit available from the manufacturer, following the instructions in the conversion kit. If done improperly , overfiring of the burners and improper burner operation can result. This can create carbon monoxide which could cause asphyxiation.
2. Construct duct connections with right angle flanges.
506305-01Page 22 of 36 Issue 0938
Page 23
Gas supply piping should be installed in accordance with local codes and the regulations of the utility. Piping must be of adequate size to prevent undue pressure drop. Consult the local utility or gas supplier for complete details on special requirements for sizing gas piping.
Gas Piping Connection
Manual Gas Valve
1/8" NPT Plugged Tapping
Union
If local codes allow the use of a flexible gas appliance connector, always use a new listed connector . Do not use a connector which has previously serviced another gas appliance.
Pipe connections must be tight, and a non-hardening pipe compound resistant to liquefied petroleum gases should be used.
Connect the gas pipe to the furnace controls providing a ground joint union as close to the controls as is possible to facilitate removal of controls and manifold. Provide a drip leg on the outside of the furnace. A manual shutoff valve shall be installed in the gas line, outside the unit, 5' above the floor, or in accordance with any local codes. A test gauge connection must be installed with a 1/8" NPT plugged tapping immediately upstream of the shutoff valve (see Figure 35).
The furnace must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa) or 14" W .C. If the piping system is to be tested at pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa), the furnace and its appliance main gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.

W ARNING
The gas valve supplied with this furnace is rated at 1/2 psig maximum. Any higher pressure may rupture the pressure regulator diaphragm and may cause overfiring of the burners and improper burner operation. The overfiring may result in the creation of carbon monoxide which could cause asphyxiation.
After gas piping is complete, carefully 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 detection has been completed.
Figure 35
WARNING
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.

Humidifier
Terminals are provided on the integrated ignition/blower control board for connection to a 120-volt humidifier . The “HUM” terminal is energized whenever the thermostat calls for heat. Refer to furnace wiring diagram for specific connection information.
Continuous Low Speed Blower
If continuous blower operation on low speed is desired, connect the lowest speed motor tap to the “CONT” terminal on the integrated ignition/blower control board (refer to the furnace wiring diagram.) The blower will operate on low speed whenever main power is connected to the furnace, except when it operates on heating or cooling speed during thermostat call for heat or cooling. This constant air terminal is intended for low speed only. If a motor is wired for a higher speed, the increased amp draw could cause the control board to fail and void the warranty .
Electronic Air Cleaner
Terminals are provided on the integrated ignition/blower control board for connection of a 120-volt electronic air cleaner. The “EAC” terminal is energized whenever the thermostat is calling for heat, cooling, or continuous blower. Refer to the furnace wiring diagram for specific connection information.

Be sure the manual gas control has been in the “OFF” position for at least 5 minutes before starting the unit. Do not attempt to manually light the burners.
If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury , or loss of life.
These furnaces are equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the burners. Do not try to light the
burners by hand. Before operating, 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.
What to do if you smell gas:
Do not try to light any appliances.
Extinguish any open flame.
Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone
in your building.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor ’s
phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
1. Set the room thermostat to lowest setting.
2. Remove burner access door .
3. Move the gas control knob to the “ON” position. Use only your hand to turn the gas control knob; never use tools. If the knob will not turn by hand, don’t try to repair it; call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted
repair may result in a fire or explosion.
4. Replace the burner access door .
5. Turn on the electrical power to the furnace.

OPERATION
Sequence of Operation
Heating
During a call for heat the thermostat closes the R-W circuit of the control board. The control board verifies limit switches are closed and pressure switch is open. The induced draft blower relay closes causing the blower to run. As vent pressure is developed by the induced draft blower, the pressure switch closes. Af ter a 15-second pre-purge, the control energizes the hot surface ignitor. After the 7-second warmup time, the control energizes the gas valve causing the burners to ignite. The hot surface ignitor is de-energized 3 seconds after the valve opens. If flame is sensed during this time the valve remains energized and the control starts the 30-second heat blower “on” delay.
As heating demand is met, the thermostat de-energizes the R-W circuit. The control de-energizes the gas valve causing the burners to shut off. The induced draft blower shuts off after a 15-second post-purge delay . The circulating air blower will continue to operate until the user-selectable heat blower “off” delay expires. The control return to standby mode once the heat blower “off” delay expires.
As cooling demand is met, the thermostat de-energizes the R-Y circuit of the control board. After a 60-second cooling “off” delay, the control de-energizes the cooling speed fan. At the end of the cooling “off ” delay period, the control returns to the standby mode.
Controls
Following is a description of the operation of some of the controls used in this furnace. All models use one of each control, except as noted.
Pressure Switch
The pressure switch is a normally open switch that monitors combustion air flow. Inadequate air flow resulting from excessive venting system restriction or a failed combustion blower will cause the switch to remain open.
Rollout Switch
The rollout switch is a normally closed switch that opens when abnormal temperatures exist in the burner area. This can be caused by a restricted heat exchanger causing burner flame to “roll out” into the vestibule area or burner box.
Fan “On”
During a fan “on” call, the thermostat energizes the R-G circuit of the control board, immediately causing the fan to energize the heat speed. The fan remains energized as long as the thermostat calls for fan “on” operation.
If a call for heat is energized during a fan “on” call, the fan continues to operate at the heat speed. If a call for cooling is energized during a fan “on” call, the fan switches to cooling speed.
At the end of the fan “on” call the thermostat de-energizes the R-G circuit of the control, causing the fan to be de­energized immediately .
Cooling
During a call for cooling, the thermostat energizes the R-Y circuit of the control board. After a 1-second cooling “on” delay , the control energizes the cooling fan speed. If the fan is already energized, it remains running and does not de-energize for the 1-second cooling fan “on” delay .
The call for cooling has priority over continuous fan operation while a call for heating has priority over both a call for cooling or continuous fan. Ignition lockouts for any reason do not affect cooling operation.
This switch must be manually reset by pushing the button on top to restore furnace operation.
Primary Limit Control
This is a normally closed control that opens if abnormally high circulating air temperatures occur. It is an automatic reset control.
Auxiliary Limit Control
This is a normally closed control that opens under abnormal “reverse air flow” conditions that could occur in a counterflow or horizontal installation if the circulating blower fails. It is an automatic reset control.
G1D91BT and G1D93BT models have two auxiliary limit controls.
G1D91BU and G1D93BU upflow models do not include an auxiliary limit control.
Interlock (Blower Door) Switch
When the blower door is removed, the interlock switch breaks the power supply to the burner controls and blower motor. The switch operation must be checked to confirm it
506305-01 Page 27 of 36Issue 0938
Page 28
is operating correctly .
Integrated Ignition/Blower Control Board
The integrated ignition/blower control board operates all functions of the furnace and any accessories connected to it. These models feature user-selectable blower “off” delay times (60, 90, 120, and 180 seconds) that are factory set to provide a 120-second blower “off” delay on heating (see connection diagram on page 33).
Refer to the furnace wiring diagram while using the following procedure to change motor speed:
1. Turn of f electrical power to the unit.
2. Connect the desired speed tap for cooling on the control board.
3. For heating speed, check the temperature rise and, if necessary, adjust blower speed tap to maintain temperature rise within the range shown on the furnace rating plate.
T o use the same speed tap for both heating and cooling, install a piggyback terminal on the speed tap using a short jumper. Wire 1/4" quick connect terminals on both ends to jumper the “HEAT” and “COOL” speed on the control board.
4. The remaining speed taps must be connected to dummy terminals marked “P ARK” on the control board.
Checking and Adjusting Gas Input
The minimum permissible gas supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment is 5" W.C. for natural gas and 1 1" W .C. for propane gas. This furnace requires conversion for use with propane (see Accessories section on page 29 for correct kit). The maximum inlet gas supply pressure is 10.5" W .C. for
natural gas and 13" W.C. for propane. Gas input must never exceed the value shown on the furnace rating plate. The furnace is equipped for rated input at manifold pressures of 3.5" W.C. for natural gas or 10.0" W .C. for propane gas.
To measure inlet or outlet pressure, remove plug from desired pressure tap (inlet or outlet) as shown in Figure 38 and connect a water manometer or gauge to the proper pressure tap.
To adjust the regulator, disconnect the hose and remove the barbed fitting from the gas valve. Turn the adjusting screw on the regulator clockwise to increase pressure and input; counterclockwise to decrease pressure and input.
Replace the barbed fitting and reconnect the hose after adjusting the regulator. Be sure to replace the inlet and outlet pressure tap plugs after testing and/or adjusting gas input.
CAUTION
The furnace rate must be within +/- 2% of the appliance rating input.
For Natural Gas: Check the furnace rate by observing the gas meter, when available, making sure all other gas appliances are turned off. The test hand on the meter should be timed for at least one revolution. Note the number of seconds for one revolution.

MAINTENANCE
W ARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE,
OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could result in dangerous operation, serious injury , death, or property damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous operation, serious injury , death, or property damage.
• Before servicing, disconnect all electrical power to furnace.
• When servicing controls, label all wires prior to disconnecting. Reconnect wires correctly .
Burners
Light the burners and allow to operate for a few minutes to establish normal burning conditions. Observe the burner flames. Compare this observation to Figure 39 to determine if proper flame adjustment is present. Flame should be predominantly blue in color and strong in appearance. Check that all burners are lit, and that the flame does not impinge on the sides of the heat exchanger.
Distorted flame or yellow tipping of the natural gas burner flame, or long yellow tips on propane, may be caused by lint accumulation or dirt inside the burner or burner ports, at the air inlet between the burner and manifold pipe, or obstructions over the burner orifice.
Use a soft brush or vacuum to clean the affected areas.
• Verify proper operation after servicing.
It is recommended that this furnace be inspected by a qualified service technician at the beginning of each heating season.
Filters
Filters should be checked at least every 6 weeks. Disposable filters should be replaced when dirty, and cleanable filters should be cleaned regularly. It is important to keep the air filters clean, as dirty filters can restrict airflow and the blower and induced draft motors depend upon sufficient air flowing across and through them to keep from overheating.
Lubrication
The blower motor and induced draft motor are pre-lubricated by the manufacturer and do not require further lubricating attention. However, the motors should be cleaned periodically to prevent the possibility of overheating due to an accumulation of dust and dirt on the windings or on the motor exterior.

Condensate Collection and Disposal System
Check the condensate drain line periodically for blockage. Visual inspection of condensate flow can be done easily while the furnace is in operation. Use a flashlight to illuminate the discharge end of the condensate drain that is placed in the sewer opening. If the condensate drain line becomes blocked or plugged, the furnace will not operate properly .

SYSTEM SENTRY™ CONTROL DIAGNOSTICS
Troubleshooting
The following visual checks should be made before troubleshooting:
1. Check to see that the power to the furnace and the integrated ignition/blower control board is on.
2. The manual shutoff valves in the gas line to the furnace must be open.
3. Make sure all wiring connections are secure.
4. Review the Sequence of Operation (see page 27).
Start the system by setting the thermostat above the room temperature. Observe the system’s response. Then use the information provided in this section to check the system’s operation.
The furnace has a built-in, self-diagnostic capability. If a system problem occurs, a fault code is shown by an LED on the control board. The control continuously monitors its own operation and the operation of the system. If a failure occurs, the LED will indicate the failure code. The flash codes are presented in Table 5.
Failure Codes
Fault Code History Button
The control stores the last five fault codes in memory. A pushbutton switch is located on the control (see Figure 40 on page 33). When the pushbutton switch is pressed and released, the control flashes the stored fault codes. The most recent fault code is flashed first; the oldest fault code is flashed last.
To clear the fault code history, press and hold the pushbutton switch in for more than 5 seconds before releasing.
