Venting
[ , 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 monox-
ide poisoning or death.
The venting system is an integral part of the appliance,
The venting system must not be modified in any matter
other than what is specified in these instructions.
This appliance should be installed in a location such that
the vent outlet is located in the following manner:
1. Distances to windows that open, building openings, or
public walkways should be consistent with the National
Fuel Gas Code Z223.1 or CAN/CGA-B149.1 & .2.
,
For U.S. installations, the vent system shall terminate
a minimum horizontal clearance of 4' from electric
meters, regulators, and relief equipment. For installa-
tions in Canada, refer to the current CAN/CGA-B149.1
& .2 or with the authorities having local jurisdiction.
3. Flue products will not cause degradation to building
materials.
The unit contains an exhaust blower. The blower draws the
combustion products out of the heat exchanger together
with dilution air and forces the mixture from the unit to the
outside. No special provisions are required for supplying
air for combustion, nor is achimney required.
The vent outlet must be extended (see Vent Pipe Instal-
lation on page 6).
The following steps shall be followed for each appli-
ance 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.
,
Visually inspect the venting system for proper size
and horizontal pitch, as required in the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 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.
,
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.
,
Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not
connected to the venting system. Turn on any
exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bath-
room exhausts, so they are operating at maxi-
mum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust
fan.
The venting system is designed for proper operation under
all weather conditions and for winds up to 40 miles per hour.
Existing Venting Systems
When an existing furnace is removed or replaced, the
original venting system may no longer be sized to properly
vent the attached appliances. An improperly sized venting
system can result in spillage of flue products into the living
space, the formation of condensate, leakage, etc. Refer to
the WARNING box in the next column for proper test
procedure.
#46977A006 Page5
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the unit
being inspected in operation. Adjust the thermo-
stat so appliance is operating continuously.
,
Testfor spillage from draft hood equipped appli-
ances at the draft hood relief opening after
5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame
of a match or candle.
,
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 Propane Installa-
tion Codes.
,
After it has been determined that each appliance
remaining 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 appli-
ance to their previous conditions of use.
Vent Pipe Installation
Determining the length of the vent pipe extension is
dependent upon which wall sleeve accessory is installed
at the job site for each particular installation.
,
Access vent pipe at the side of the unit that will face
the outdoors.
,
The vent pipe and vent pipe extension is located to
the right of the outdoor fan (see Figure 3).

3. Remove the 5/16" screw used to mount the vent pipe
assembly to the mounting bracket. Keep this screw.
, Five holes have been drilled into the vent extension
(see Figure 4). Four of those holes are provided so
that the vent can be extended the necessary length
required for the installation. The wall sleeve that is
installed determines which of these clearance holes
should be used. Using Table 2 and Figure 4, deter-
mine which clearance hole should be used to position
the vent extension properly. Slide the vent extension
outward and line up the correct clearance hole on the
vent extension with the hole in the vent pipe and the
hole in the mounting bracket.
,
Re-install the 5/16" screw that was removed in Step 3.
Thread the screw first through the clearance hole in
the mounting bracket, the proper clearance hole in the
vent extension, and into the engagement hole in the
vent pipe. The length of the vent pipe extension that

Installing and Securing Unit to Wall Sleeve
Before installing and securing the unit to the wall sleeve,
make sure that the proper louver kit is installed. Due the
high temperatures of the combustion products released
from the gas vent, MGE gas package units require the use
of either an aluminum louver kit or special MGE polypro-
pylene louver kit (see ACCESSORIES on page 17).
1. Make sure the gaskets attached to the sleeve are not
damaged.
,
Verify divider panel is positioned properly. Figure 5
shows the correct position for 60" and 64" tall units
(flange pointing up). For 58" tall units, the divider panel
should be positioned so the flange points down.
Page 6 #46977A006
Positioning Divider Panel
Divider must be positioned this way (flange up)
for 60" and 64" tall units.
Divider must be positioned this way (flange down)
for 58" tall units.
Figure 5
,
Place MGE unit into the wall sleeve. Lift leading end
of unit and walk unit onto the sleeve. Once in the
sleeve, lower unit into position. This prevents damage to
the base pads. Assure that unit is level and completely
seated against the gaskets on the wall sleeve.
. Use the two installation brackets to secure the unit to
the wall sleeve (see Figure 6). The units are shipped
with the brackets placed loose on the unit top panel,
beneath packaging. Hook each bracket into the front
edge of the wall sleeve side. Position the bracket so it
can be bent around the front corner of the unit. Remove
one of the two screws in that position on the unit. Line
up one of the holes in the installation bracket with the
screw hole and attach the bracket to the unit with that
screw. Make sure to fasten tight enough that the seal is
maintained. Trim off excess bracket if applicable.
Inspect the fit up of the unit to the wall sleeve. Verify
that the gaskets of the wall sleeve make a complete
seal to the unit paying particular attention to top and
bottom corners of unit to sleeve seal. Caulk if needed.
Ductwork
Ductwork should be designed and sized according to the
methods in Manual Q of the Air Conditioning Contractors of
America (ACCA).

Air Filter
All indoor return air must be filtered. A washable filter is
furnished with the unit, located in the return air opening. If
return duct is installed, provisions must be made to
accommodate filter servicing.
The filter should be cleaned at least three times during
each of the heating and cooling seasons, or more fre-
quently if unusual conditions are encountered. To clean
the washable 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. It is not
necessary to oil the filter after washing.
If an installation is made in which it is more desirable to
mount the filter exterior to the unit, in the return duct work
or elsewhere, the washable filter can be used or replaced

Heating
1. Turn on main power supply.
2. Open manual gas shutoff valve.
3. Set thermostat system to "HEAT".
4. Set thermostat to temperature desired.
Sequence of Operation
1. Thermostat calls for heat.
2. Combustion blower starts and proper air flow is
proven by the pressure switch closing.
3. Blower continues to operate for 30 seconds prior to
the burners lighting.
4. Ignition control begins spark and opens gas valve. The
burners are lit. Ignition is proved through flame sensor.
5. Circulating air blower starts 30 seconds after the
burners light.
6. When the thermostat is satisfied, the burners and
combustion blower shut off.
Temperature Rise
At time of installation, the temperature rise must be adjusted
to be within the range specified on the unit rating plate.
Checking and Adjusting Gas input
The gas input must not exceed the figures shown on the
rating plate. The unit is equipped for rated inputs with
manifold pressures of: 3.5" W.C. for natural gas and 10.0"
W.C. for propane. The furnace requires conversion for use
with propane (a propane conversion kit is available from
the manufacturer).
The manifold pressure can be measured by removing the
pipe plug in the downstream side of the gas valve and
connecting a water manometer or gauge.
Only small variations in gas input may be made by
adjusting the regulator. In no case should the final
manifold pressure vary more than 0.3" W.C. for
natural gas or 0.7" W.C. for propane.
To adjust the regulator, turn the adjusting screw on the
regulator clockwise to increase pressure and input or
counterclockwise to decrease pressure and input.
7. Circulating air blower will shut off 120 seconds later.
Ifthe burners should fail to ignite, the ignition control will try
to ignite the burners a total of three times. Should the
burners fail to ignite within the three trials for ignition, the
ignition control will lock out for 1 hour before beginning
another ignition cycle. To reset the control, turn the thermo-
stat down or off for 10 seconds and then set to desired
setting. At this time, the ignition sequence will try again.
Cooling
1. Set thermostat system switch to "COOL".
2. Set thermostat to temperature desired.
NOTE: When Y is energized, the combustion blower will
operate for 10 seconds. The purpose of this action is to
deter insect nesting in the flue pipe.
To Shut Down Unit
For temporary or short periods of shutdown, set the
thermostat system switch to "OFF". For a prolonged
period of shutdown, set the thermostat system switch to
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.
BTU/HR = Cubic Feet Per Revolution × 3600 × Heating
iNPUT # Seconds Per Revolution Value
The heating value of the gas can be obtained from the
local utility company.
For Propane Gas: The only check for the furnace rate is
to properly adjust the manifold pressure using a manom-
eter and the information found in Table 5 on page 14.
Typical manifold set point for installations at altitudes from
0 to 4500' above sea level is 10.0" W.C.

Continuous operation of the air handling blower will be
obtained ifthe thermostat fan switch is set to "ON". With the
thermostat fan switch set to "AUTO", the air handling blower
will cycle corresponding with the thermostat cycling.
A fan switch is provided on the thermostat which will bring
the blower on for continuous operation when the switch is
set for "ON".
Limit Control
A fixed temperature limit control is provided which will shut
off the gas to the burners if the unit is overheated for any
reason. The control must not be adjusted or relocated.
Rollout Switch
If for any reason the exchanger were to become blocked,
there is a temperature sensitive switch located above the
burners that will turn off the burners. After correcting the
problem, this switch must be manually reset by pressing
the button on top of it.
High Altitude
In both the United States and Canada, this unit is ap-
proved for operation at altitudes from 0 to 4500 feet above
sea level without any required modifications. From 4500 to
7500 feet, the gas manifold pressure needs to be adjusted
according to the information shown inTable 5. Toadjust the

manifoldpressure,refertoprevioussectionChecking and
Adjusting Gas Input on page 13. For installations above
7500 feet, call Technical Service at 1-800-448-5872 ext.
2610 for assistance.
Installation and Operation in Extremely Cold
Weather Areas
In areas where extremely cold outdoor temperatures
(below - 20°F) can be expected, some additional installa-
tion and operating precautions should be taken. The
following precautions are designed to prevent possible
vent system ice blockage that could result in safety
shutdown of the burners:
,
Adjust to the highest achievable temperature rise
within the rise and static pressure ranges specified on
the rating plate. Depending on specific model, it may
be possible to change to a lower heating blower speed
tap to get a higher temperature rise. This also in-
creases comfort.
2. Make sure there are no leaks of outside air into the
return air system.
3. Keep the outside louver grille as free as possible of
any ice that may form and obstruct the flue outlet.

MAINTENANCE Cooling System
Burners
The burners can be removed for cleaning or changing
orifices. To remove the burners:
1. Disconnect electrical service and turn off gas to the
appliance.
2. Disconnect the high voltage (spark plug) wire and the
flame sensor wire (Sl) from the ignition control.
3. Remove spark and sense rods.
The refrigeration system normally requires no mainte-
nance since it is a closed, self-contained system. Periodic
maintenance is limited to:
Cleaning the air filter. Follow directions noted on the
filter and label attached to the access panel.
Cleaning the condenser coil if covered with any
foreign material, lint, leaves, or other obstructions.
4. Remove the four screws that mount the burner right
side plate (houses the spark/sense probes).
5. Carefully remove the burner right side plate.
6. Burners are now exposed and can be individually
removed from assembly by removing the two screws
that hold each burner in the burner rack.
Burners can be cleaned using a bottle brush.
Orifices are threaded into the gas manifold and can be
removed by unscrewing.
When replacing the burner tray assembly, take care in
installing the sense and spark rods back into the burner
plate. Reconnect the spark and sense wires.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger should be inspected periodically and
cleaned if necessary. If cleaning is necessary, use a stiff
brush with a wire handle to remove scale and soot. While
cleaning the heat exchanger, the vent extension tube
should also be cleaned. Remove the four screws on the
combustion blower mounting plate and take out the blower.
Use a brush to clean the vent extension tube.
