Combustion Air Quality
CAUTION:
Combustion air must not be drawn from a
corrosive atmosphere.
To maximize heat exchanger life, the combustion air
must be free of chemicals that can form corrosive acidic
compounds in the combustion gases. The recommended
source of combustion air is to use outdoor air. However,
the use of indoor air in most applications is acceptable
except as listed:
• If the furnace is installed as a single pipe installation
in a confi ned space, it is required that the necessary
combustion air come from the outdoors by way of attic,
crawl space, air duct, or direct opening. For Installations
in confi ned spaces, see pages 7 - 10 for combustion
air requirements.
• Installations in these locations 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
• Exposure to the following substances in the combustion
air supply may require outdoor air for combustion:
Permanent wave solutions
Chlorinated waxes and cleaners
Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals
Water softening chemicals
De-icing salts or chemicals
Carbon Tetrachloride
Halogen type refrigerants
Cleaning solvents (perchloroethylene)
Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
Hydrochloric Acid
Cements and glues
Antistatic fabric softeners
Masonry acid washing materials
Operating gas furnaces in construction environments can
cause a variety of problems with the furnace. Proper use
of commercial portable space heating equipment during
construction is recommended. This gas furnace may be
used during construction if it is not in violation of any
applicable codes and the following criteria are met:
• The installation must meet all applicable codes. The
furnace must be permanently installed according to
the instructions supplied with the furnace including
electrical supply, gas supply, duct work and venting. The
furnace must be controlled by a thermostat properly
installed according to the instructions supplied with the
furnace and thermostat. The installation must include
a properly installed fi lter in the return air system with
no by-pass air. The fi lter must be inspected frequently
and replaced when necessary.
• Combustion air must be supplied from outside the
structure and located such that dust and gases
from construction activity are not introduced into the
combustion system.
• Provisions must be made to insure that condensate
does not freeze in the furnace or condensate drain lines
during operation and during idle times; for example,
overnight if turned off. (Condensing furnaces only)
• Before occupying the structure: The filter must be
replaced or cleaned, the duct work must be inspected
and cleaned of any construction debris, and the furnace
must be cleaned and/or repaired if found to be dirty,
damaged, or malfunctioning in any way by a qualifi ed
HVAC technician. The furnace shall be inspected and
approved by applicable local authority even if this
requires redundant inspections.
• Serial numbers for furnaces used during construction
must be submitted in writing (fax and email also
acceptable). This information will be used to track the
long-term affects of the use during construction on
furnaces. Proof of this submittal shall be available for
the fi nal inspection of the furnace prior to occupancy.
• This furnace is designed to operate with return air
temperatures in ranges normally found in occupied
residences, including setbacks. Minimum continuous
return temperature must not be below 60° F (15° C).
Occasionally a temporary return temperature of 55° F
(12° C) is acceptable. However, operation with a return
temperature below 55° F (12° C) is not allowed.
Operation of Furnace During Construction
CAUTION:
Failure to follow these instructions will void the
factory warranty and may signifi cantly reduce
the life or the performance of the furnace, and/
or result in other unsafe conditions. It is the
responsibility of the installing contractor to
insure these provisions are met.
Heating Load
This furnace should be sized to provide the design heating
load requirement. Heating load estimates can be made
using approved methods available from Air Conditioning
Contractors of America (Manual J); American Society of
Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers;
or other approved engineering methods. Excessive
oversizing of the furnace could cause the furnace
and/or vent to fail prematurely. The ductwork should
be appropriately sized to the capacity of the furnace to
ensure its proper airfl ow rating.
5
Page 6
For installations above 2,000 ft., the furnace should have
a sea level input rating large enough that it will meet the
heating load after deration for altitude.
Two-stage furnaces operate at two input rates to better
meet heating loads. The lower heating rate (low fi re) is
65% of the high fi re rate. The greatest degree of control
over the furnace can be gained by controlling it with a two
stage thermostat. This allows the thermostat to directly
request either high or low fi re. However, it is possible to
operate the furnace using a single stage thermostat. In
this application the furnace control can be set to increase
from low to high fi re, based on a timer. See Autostaging
for Single Stage Thermostats (page 26).
Furnaces are properly sized to meet the expected
maximum heating load. But this load occurs infrequently.
So, during more moderate weather, the furnace is likely to
use low fi re a considerable part of the time. This is normal
and has the benefi t of quieter and more effi cient operation.
Clearances to Combustible Materials
This furnace is Design Certifi ed in the U.S. and Canada
by CSA International for the minimum clearances to
combustible materials. NOTE: The furnace is listed for
installation on combustible or non-combustible fl ooring.
However, wood is the only combustible fl ooring allowed
for installation. Downfl ow models must use the appropriate
subase kit when installing over a wood fl oor. To obtain model
number and specifi c clearance information, refer to the
furnace rating plate, located inside of the furnace cabinet.
Access for positioning and servicing the unit must be
considered when locating unit. The need to provide
clearance for access to panels or doors may require
clearance distances over and above the requirements.
Allow 24 inches minimum clearance from the front of
the unit. However 36 inches is strongly recommended.
See Table 1 for minimum clearance requirements.
Installation in a Garage
This Gas-fi red furnace may be installed in a residential
garage with the provision that the burners and igniter
are located no less than 18 inches (457mm) above the
fl oor. The furnace must be located or protected to prevent
physical damage by vehicles.
WARNING:
Do not place combustible material on or against
the furnace cabinet or within 6 inches of the
vent pipe. Do not place combustible materials,
including gasoline or any other fl ammable
vapors and liquids, in the vicinity of the furnace.

General Information
WARNING:
Furnace installation using methods other than
those described in the following sections must
comply with the National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC)
and all applicable local codes.
• Instructions for determining the adequacy of combustion
air for an installation can be found in the current revision
of the NFGC (ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA54). Consult local codes for special requirements. These requirements
are for US installations as found in the NFGC.
• The requirements in Canada (B149.1) are structured
differently. Consult with B149.1 and local code offi cials
for Canadian installations.
This condensing furnace is certifi ed for installation either as
a Direct Vent (2-pipe) or Conventional (1-pipe) appliance.
Direct Vent appliances draw combustion air from the
outdoors and vent combustion products back outside.
Installation with air taken from around the furnace is often
referred to as Conventional installation - i.e. only the vent
(exhaust) pipe is provided.
Provisions must be made during the installation of
this furnace that provide an adequate supply of air for
combustion. The combustion air from the outside needs
to be clear of chemicals that can cause corrosion. The
inlet pipe should not be placed near corrosive chemicals
such as those listed on page 5.
Another important consideration when selecting one or
two pipe installation is the quality of the Indoor air which
can sometimes be contaminated with various household
chemicals . These chemicals can cause severe corrosion
in the furnace combustion system. A 2-pipe installation
has the additional advantage that it isolates the system
from the effects of negative pressure in the house.
CAUTION:
Exhaust fans, clothes dryers, fi replaces and
other appliances that force air from the house
to the outdoors can create a negative pressure
inside the house, resulting in improper furnace
operation or unsafe conditions such as fl ame roll
out. It is imperative that suffi cient air exchange
with the outdoors is provided to prevent
depressurization. Additional information about
testing negative pressure problems can be
found in the National Fuel Gas Code.
burners. NOTE: This safety device is a manually reset
switch. DO NOT install jumper wires across these
switches to defeat their function or reset a switch
without identifying and correcting the fault condition. If
a switch must be replaced, use only the correct sized part
specifi ed in the Replacement Parts List provided online.
Direct Vent Furnaces
Direct Vent (2-pipe) furnaces draw combustion air directly
from the outdoors and then vent the combustion products
back outside, isolating the entire system from the indoor
space. It is important to make sure that the whole system
is sealed and clearances to combustibles are maintained
regardless of the installation being in a confi ned or
unconfi ned space.
Conventional Furnaces - Confi ned Spaces
A confi ned space is an area with volume less than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh of the combined input rates of
all appliances drawing combustion air from that space.
Furnace closets, small equipment rooms and garages are
confi ned spaces. Furnaces installed in a confi ned space
which supply heated air to areas outside the space must
draw return air from outside the space and must have the
return air ducts tightly sealed to the furnace. Ducts must
have cross - sectional area at least as large as the free area
of their respective openings to the furnace space. Attics
or crawl spaces must connect freely with the outdoors if
they are the source of air for combustion and ventilation.
The required sizing of these openings is determined by
whether inside or outside air is used to support combustion,
the method by which the air is brought to the space, and
by the total input rate of all appliances in the space. In
all cases, the minimum dimension of any combustion air
opening is 3 inches.
Air From Inside
If combustion air is taken from the heated space, the two
openings must each have a free area of at least one square
inch per 1,000 Btuh of total input of all appliances in the
confi ned space, but not less than 100 square inches of
free area (Figure 1, page 9).
Example:
If the combined input rate of all appliances is less
than or equal to 100,000 Btuh, each opening must
have a free area of at least 100 square inches. If the
combined input rate of all appliances is 120,000 Btuh,
each opening must have a free area of at least 120
square inches.
Air openings on top of the furnace and openings in closet
doors or walls must never be restricted. If the furnace is
operated without adequate air for combustion, the fl ame
roll-out switch will open, turning off the gas supply to the

Alternate Method of Providing
Air from Outside:
If acceptable under local Codes, it is permitted to provide
outside air using one opening (See NFGC).Generally,
confi ned spaces must have two openings in the space
for combustion air. One opening must be within 12
inches of the ceiling, and the other must be within 12
inches of the fl oor. However, an alternative method
recently adopted by the NFGC uses one opening within
12 inches of the top of the space. This method may be
used if it is acceptable to the local codes.
Conventional Furnaces - Unconfi ned Spaces
An unconfi ned space is an area including all rooms not
separated by doors with a volume greater than 50 cubic
feet per 1,000 Btuh of the combined input rates of all
appliances which draw combustion air from that space.
In general, a furnace installed in an unconfi ned space will
not require outside air for combustion. However, in homes
built for energy effi ciency (low air change rates), it may
be necessary to provide outside air to ensure adequate
combustion and venting, even though the furnace is located
in an unconfi ned space. See example.
Example:
A space with a water heater rated at 45,000 Btuh
input and a furnace rated at 75,000 Btuh requires a
volume of 6,000 cubic feet [50 x (45 + 75) = 6,000] to
be considered unconfi ned. If the space has an 8 foot
ceiling, the fl oor area of the space must be 750 square
feet (6,000 / 8 = 750).
Category IV Venting
This furnace is classifi ed as a “Category IV” appliance,
which requires special venting materials and installation
procedures. This section specifi es installation requirements
for Conventional (1-pipe) and Direct Vent (2-pipe) piping.
WARNING:
Upon completion of the furnace installation,
carefully inspect the entire fl ue system both
inside and outside the furnace to assure it is
properly sealed. Leaks in the fl ue system can
result in serious personal injury or death due
to exposure of fl ue products, including carbon
monoxide.
• This furnace must be vented in compliance with
the current revision of the National Fuel Gas Code
(ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA54) and the instructions provided
below. Consult local codes for special requirements.
• In Canada, venting shall conform to the requirements of
the current (CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2) installation codes.
Consult local codes for special requirements.
The following conditions must be met:
1. The opening must start within 12” of the top of the
structure and connect with the out of doors through
vertical or horizontal ducts or be ducted to a crawl
or attic space that connects with the out of doors.
2. The opening must have a minimum free area of 1 sq.
in. per 3,000 Btu per hour of the total input rating of
all equipment located in the enclosure.
3. The free area must not be less than the sum of all
the areas of the vent connectors in the enclosure.

WARNING:
This furnace must not be vented with other
appliances, even if that appliance is of the
condensing type. This includes water heaters
of any effi ciency. Common venting can result
in severe corrosion of other appliances or their
venting and can allow combustion gases to
escape through such appliances or vents. Do
not vent the furnace to a fi replace chimney or
building chase.
Page 11
For 1- pipe installations, install vent piping as described in
this section and provide air for combustion and ventilation
according to pages 7 - 10. Table 2 contains the maximum
length of vent and combustion air piping for either type
of installation.
Category IV appliances operate with positive vent pressure
and therefore require vent systems which are thoroughly
sealed. They also produce liquid condensate, which is
slightly acidic and can cause severe corrosion of ordinary
venting materials. Furnace operation can be adversely
affected by restrictive vent and combustion air piping.
The inducer assembly on this furnace can be rotated to
vent the fl ue products out of the left or right side of the
furnace. This increases the fl exibility of which direction
the vent pipe can exit the furnace.
In Canada, all plastic vent pipes and fi ttings including
any cement, cleaners, or primers must be certifi ed as a
system to ULC S636. However this requirement does not
apply to the fi nish fl anges or piping internal to the furnace.
Vent Pipe Length & Diameter
In order for the furnace to operate properly, the combustion
air and vent piping must not be excessively restrictive.
• The venting system should be designed to have the
minimum number of elbows or turns.
• All horizontal runs must slope upwards from the furnace
at 1/4 inch minimum per running foot of vent.
• Transition to the fi nal vent diameter should be done as
close to the furnace outlet as practical.
• Always use the same size or a larger pipe for combustion
air that is used for the exhaust vent.
Vent Pipe Material
Vent and combustion air pipe and fi ttings must be one of
the following materials in the list and must conform to the
indicated ANSI/ASTM standards. Cement must conform
to ASTM Standard D2564 for PVC and Standard D2235
for ABS. PVC primer must meet standard ASTM F656.
When joining PVC piping to ABS, use PVC solvent cement.
(See procedure specifi ed in ASTM Standard D3138)
Table 2 indicates the maximum allowable pipe length for
a furnace of known input rate, when installed with piping
of selected diameter and number of elbows. To use the
table, the furnace input rate, the centerline length and the
number of elbows on each pipe must be known.
When estimating the length of vent runs, consideration
must be made to the effect of elbows and other fi ttings.
This is conveniently handled using the idea of “equivalent
length”. This means the fi ttings are assigned a linear
length that accounts for the pressure drop they will cause.
For example: a 2” diameter, long radius elbow is worth
the equivalent of 2.5 feet of linear run. A 90 degree tee
is worth 7 ft.
1. Subtract 2.5 ft. for each additional 2 inch long radius elbow, 5 ft. for each additional 2 inch short radius elbow, 3.5 ft. for each additional 3
inch long radius elbow, and 7 ft. for each additional 3 inch short radius elbow. Subtract 5 ft for each 2” tee and 8 ft for each 3” tee. Two 45
degree elbows are equivalent to one 90 degree elbow.

total length, including the equivalent fi tting lengths, must
be less than the maximum length specifi ed in Table 2.
Condensing furnace combustion products have very little
buoyancy, so Table 2 is to be used without consideration
of any vertical rise in the piping.
Vent Pipe Installation
CAUTION:
Combustion air must not be drawn from a
corrosive atmosphere.
This furnace has been certifi ed for installation with zero
clearance between vent piping and combustible surfaces.
However, it is good practice to allow space for convenience
in installation and service.
• The quality of outdoor air must also be considered. Be
sure that the combustion air intake is not located near
a source of solvent fumes or other chemicals which can
cause corrosion of the furnace combustion system. (See
list of substances on page 5).
• Route piping as direct as possible between the furnace
and the outdoors. Longer vent runs require larger
diameters. Vent piping must be sloped upwards 1/4”
per foot in the direction from the furnace to the terminal.
This is to ensure that any condensate fl ows back to the
condensate disposal system.
• If a Direct Vent (2-pipe) system is used, the combustion
air intake and the vent exhaust must be located in the
same atmospheric pressure zone. This means both
pipes must exit the building through the same portion
of exterior wall or roof as shown in Figures 6 - 9 (pages
12 - 13) and Figure 37 (page 46).
• Piping must be mechanically supported so that its weight
does not bear on the furnace. Pipe supports must be
installed a minimum of every 5 feet along the vent run to
ensure no displacement after installation. Supports may
be at shorter intervals if necessary to ensure that there
are no sagging sections that can trap condensate. It is
recommended to install couplings along the vent pipe,
on either side of the exterior wall (Figure 37). These
couplings may be required by local code.
• If breakable connections are required in the combustion
air inlet pipe (if present) and exhaust vent piping, then
straight neoprene couplings for 2” or 3” piping with
hose clamps can be used. These couplings can be
ordered through your local furnace distributor. To install
a coupling:
1. Slide the rubber coupling over the end of the pipe that
is attached to the furnace and secure it with one of
the hose clamps.
2. Slide the other end of the rubber coupling onto the
other pipe from the vent.
3. Secure the coupling with the second hose clamp,
ensuring that the connection is tight and leak free.
Outdoor Terminations - Horizontal Venting
Vent and combustion air intake terminations shall be
installed as depicted in Figures 6 & 7 (page 13) and in
accordance with these instructions:
• Vent termination clearances must be consistent with the
NFGC, ANSI 2223.1/NFPA 54 and/or the CSA B149.1,
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code. Table 17
(page 45) lists the necessary distances from the vent
termination to windows and building air intakes.
• All minimum clearances must be maintained to protect
building materials from degradation by fl ue gases as
shown in Figure 7.
• Vent and combustion air intake terminations must
be located to ensure proper furnace operation and
conformance to applicable codes. A vent terminal
must be located at least 3 feet above any forced air
inlet located within 10 feet. This does not apply to the
combustion air inlet of a direct vent (two pipe) appliance.
In Canada, CSA B149.1, takes precedence over these
instructions. See Table 17 (page 45).
• For optimal performance, vent the furnace through a wall
that experiences the least exposure to winter winds.
• The vent termination shall be located at least 3 ft.
horizontally from any electric meter, gas meter, regulator
and any relief equipment. These distances apply ONLY
to U.S. installations. In Canada, CSA B149.1, takes
precedence over these instructions.
• Do not install the vent terminal such that exhaust is
directed into window wells, stairwells, under decks
or into alcoves or similar recessed areas, and do not
terminate above any public walkways.
• If venting horizontally, a side wall vent kit is available
according to the pipe diameter size of the installation.
For 2 inch pipe use side wall vent kit #904617, and
for 3 inch pipe use kit #904347. Please follow the
instructions provided with the kit.

Vent Freezing Protection
CAUTION:
When the vent pipe is exposed to temperatures
below freezing (i.e., when it passes through
unheated spaces, chimneys, etc.) the pipe
must be insulated with 1/2 inch thick sponge
rubber insulation, Armafl ex-type insulation or
equivalent. Insulating pipe is important to avoid
condensate icing.
• Table 3 lists the maximum length of fl ue pipe that can
travel through an unconditioned space or an exterior
space. The total vent length must not exceed the lengths
noted in Table 2 (page 11). For Canadian installations,
please refer to the Canadian Installation Code (CAN/
CGA-B149.1 or 2) and/or local codes.
• For extremely cold climates or for conditions of short
furnace cycles (i.e. set back thermostat conditions)
the last 18 inches of vent pipe can be reduced. It is
acceptable to reduce from 3” to 2-1/2”, 3” to 2”, or 2”
to 1-1/2” if the total vent length is at least 15 feet in
length and the vent length is within the parameters
specifi ed in Table 2 (page 11). The restriction should
be counted as 3 equivalent feet. Smaller vent pipes are

less susceptible to freezing, but must not be excessively
restrictive. The length of the 2 inch pipe must not be
longer than 18 inches.
• If furnace is installed horizontally, make sure the
drainage port on the in-line drain assembly is pointed
downward to ensure proper drainage of condensate.
See Figure 39 on page 48.
• To prevent debris or creatures from entering the
combustion system, a protective screen may be
installed over the combustion air intake opening. The
screens hole size must be large enough to prevent air
restriction.
Existing Installations
When an existing furnace is removed from a vent system
serving other appliances, the existing vent system may
not be sized properly to vent the remaining appliances
(For example: water heater). An improperly sized venting
system can result in the formation of condensate, leakage,
or spillage. The existing vent system should be checked
to make sure it is in compliance with NFGC and must
be brought into compliance before installing the furnace.
NOTE: If replacing an existing furnace, it is possible you
will encounter an existing plastic venting system that is
subject to a Consumer Product Safety Commission recall.
The pipes involved in the recall are High Temperature
Plastic Vent (HTPV). If your venting system contains these pipesDO NOT reuse this venting system! This
recall does not apply to other plastic vent pipes, such
as white PVC or CPVC. Check for details on the CPSC
website or call their toll-free number (800) 758-3688.
CIRCULATING AIR REQUIREMENTS
WARNING:
Do not allow combustion products to enter the
circulating air supply. Failure to prevent the
circulation of combustion products into the
living space can create potentially hazardous
conditions including carbon monoxide
poisoning that could result in personal injury
or death.
All return ductwork must be secured to
the furnace with sheet metal screws. For
installations in confi ned spaces, all return
ductwork must be adequately sealed. When
return air is provided through the bottom of the
furnace, the joint between the furnace and the
return air plenum must be air tight.
The surface that the furnace is mounted on must
provide sound physical support of the furnace
with no gaps, cracks or sagging between the
furnace and the fl oor or platform.
Return air and circulating air ductwork must
not be connected to any other heat producing
device such as a fi replace insert, stove, etc. This
may result in fi re, explosion, carbon monoxide
poisoning, personal injury, or property damage.
Condensate Disposal
The method for disposing of condensate varies according
to local codes. Consult your local code or authority having
jurisdiction.
Each of the condensate drain lines must be J-trapped
using fi eld supplied parts. After the condensate lines are
J-trapped, they may be combined together into a single
run to the drain. The drain lines must be routed downward
to ensure proper drainage from furnace.
Neutralizer kit P/N 902377 is available for use with this
furnace. Please follow the instructions provided with
the kit.
Plenums & Air Ducts
• Plenums and air ducts must be installed in accordance
with the Standard for the Installation of Air Conditioning
and Ventilating Systems (NFPA No. 90A) or the
Standard for the Installation of Warm Air Heating and
Air Conditioning Systems (NFPA No. 90B).
• Tables 8 - 10 (pages 34 - 36) contain the maximum
airfl ow and temperature rise data for fi xed and variable
speed motors. If the maximum airfl ow is 1,600 CFM or
more, it is recommended that two openings be used for
return air on upfl ow furnaces. Downfl ow furnaces can
only use one return opening.
• It is recommended that the outlet duct contain a
removable access panel. The opening should be
accessible when the furnace is installed in service and
shall be of a size that smoke or refl ected 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 way as to prevent leaks.
• If outside air is used as return air to the furnace for
ventilation or to improve indoor air quality, the system
must be designed so that the return air is not less than
60° F (15° C) during operation. If a combination of
indoor and outdoor air is used, the ducts and damper
system must be designed so that the return air supply
14
Page 15
to the furnace is equal to the return air supply under
normal, indoor return air applications.
• When a cooling system is installed which uses the
furnace blower to provide airfl ow over the indoor coil,
the coil must be installed downstream (on the outlet
side) of the furnace or in parallel with the furnace.
• If a cooling system is installed in parallel with the
furnace, a damper must be installed to prevent chilled
air from entering the furnace and condensing on the
heat exchanger. If a manually operated damper is
installed, it must be designed so that operation of
the furnace is prevented when the damper is in the
cooling position and operation of the cooling system is
prevented when the damper is in the heating position.
• It is good practice to seal all connections and joints
with industrial grade sealing tape or liquid sealant.
Requirements for sealing ductwork vary from region
to region. Consult with local codes for requirements
specifi c to your area.
Supply Air Connections
The supply air must be delivered to the heated space by
duct(s) secured to the furnace casing, running full size
and without interruption.
Upfl ow and Horizontal Furnaces
To attach the supply air duct to the furnace, bend the
furnace fl anges (Figure 29, page 33) upward 90° with a
pair of wide duct pliers. Position the duct on top of the
furnace and secure together with sheet metal screws. The
screws must penetrate the sheet metal casing and furnace
fl ange. Tape or seal all seams if required by local code.
Downfl ow Furnaces
To attach the supply air duct to the downfl ow furnace,
position the furnace over the duct and secure together
with sheet metal screws. The screws must penetrate the
duct and furnace cabinet.
Return Air Connections
In applications where the supply ducts carry heated air
to areas outside the space where the furnace is installed,
the return air must be delivered to the furnace by duct(s)
secured to the furnace casing, running full size and without
interruption.
Upfl ow Horizontal Furnaces
For upfl ow installations, the return air ductwork may
be connected to the left side, right side, or bottom. The
bottom panel (Figure 29) must be installed for left or right
return air. NOTE: Do not use the back of the furnace
for return air.
the opening in the side and secure together with sheet
metal screws. The screws must penetrate the duct and
furnace cabinet.
WARNING:
The solid base of the furnace must be in
position when the furnace is installed with side
return air ducts. Removal of all or part of the
base could cause circulation of combustible
products into the living space and create
potentially hazardous conditions, including
carbon monoxide poisoning that could result
in personal injury or death.
Bottom Return Installations
The bottom panel (Figure 29) must be removed from the
bottom of the furnace for bottom return air. If bottom panel
is installed, go to page 15 for removal instructions. Position
the furnace over the return air duct and secure together
with sheet metal screws. The screws must penetrate the
duct and furnace cabinet.
Downfl ow Furnaces
To attach the return air duct to the furnace, bend the
furnace fl anges (Figure 29, page 33) upward 90° with a
pair of wide duct pliers. Position the duct on top of the
furnace and secure together with sheet metal screws. The
screws must penetrate the sheet metal cabinet and furnace
fl ange. Tape or seal all seams if required by local code.
Acoustical Treatments
Damping ducts, fl exible vibration isolators, or pleated
media-style fi lters on the return air inlet of the furnace
may be used to reduce the transmission of equipment
noise eminating from the furnace. These treatments can
produce a quieter installation, particularly in the heated
space. However, they can increase the pressure drop in
the duct system. Care must be taken to maintain the proper
maximum pressure rise across the furnace, temperature
rise and fl ow rate. This may mean increasing the duct size
and/or reducing the blower speed. These treatments must
be constructed and installed in accordance with NFPA and
SMACNA construction standards. Consult with local codes
for special requirements. For best sound performance, be
sure to install all the needed gaskets and grommets around
penetrations into the furnace, such as for electrical wiring
Side Return Installations
To attach the return air duct to the left or right side of the
furnace, punch out the four knockouts (Figure 29) from the
preferred side of the furnace. Using sharp metal cutters,
cut an opening between all four knockouts to expose
the blower assembly. Position the return air duct over

Page 17
*TC series furnaces are shipped with the bottom panel
installed. If furnace is installed horizontally, remove the
bottom panel from the furnace before attaching the duct
system. See Bottom Panel Removal section.
If installing the furnace in an attic, it is required that a drip
pan be placed under the furnace. If the installation is on a
combustible platform (Figure 12), it is recommended that
the drip pan extend at least 12 inches past the top and
front of the furnace.
If the furnace will be suspended from the ceiling, assemble
a support frame (Figure 13) using slotted iron channel
and full threaded rod. Fasten the frame together with nuts,
washers, and lockwashers. Secure the support frame to the
rafters with lag bolts. The furnace can also be suspended
using steel straps around each end of the furnace. The
straps should be attached to the furnace with sheet metal
screws and to the rafters with bolts.
It is recommended for further reduction of fi re hazard
that cement board or sheet metal be placed between the
furnace and the combustible fl oor and extend 12 inches
beyond the front of the door and top of the furnace.
Exhaust Pipe
Vented to Outside
Inducer & Venting Options
To increase installation fl exibility, the inducer assembly
can be rotated to 2 different positions. Each variation has
slightly different requirements with regard to condensate
disposal and, in some cases, the need to seal the furnace
cabinet. IMPORTANT NOTE: The Inducer Assembly
must never be positioned to vent downwards on
horizontal installs.
Before using Table 4 (page 19) the number of pipes (1-pipe
or 2-pipe) connected to the furnace must be known. Find
the proper furnace style (upfl ow, horizontal, or downfl ow)
and then the side that the pipes will exit from the furnace.
Finally select the option that properly matches your
installation type from Figures 38 - 40 (pages 47 - 49).
NOTE: It is important that Direct Vent (2-pipe) systems
maintain an airtight fl ow path from the air inlet to the fl ue
gas outlet. The furnace ships from the factory with two
holes in the cabinet for the air inlet and fl ue gas outlet.
In certain confi gurations, it is necessary to remove and
relocate a plastic cap in the furnace cabinet. If changing
the position of the air inlet and fl ue gas outlet, it is required
that the previous hole be closed off with the plastic cap to
maintain air tightness in the furnace. The hole locations
for *TC & *TL furnaces are shown in Figure 29 (page 33).

Condensate Drain Lines
The placement of the condensate drain lines will depend
on the confi guration selected in Table 4 (page 18). The
drain lines can be routed out the left or right side of the
furnace, but must maintain a downward slope to ensure
proper condensate drainage. The J-trap may need to be
rotated to the side that matches your setup in Figures
38 - 40 (pages 47 - 49). To rotate the J-trap, loosen the
clamp on the drain tube, rotate the J-trap to either side,
and retighten the clamp.
6. Lift up and slide bottom panel (6) out through front of
furnace.
7. Reinstall the blower assembly (4) in reverse order.

3
2
Four general rules apply:
• Each condensate drain line must be separately trapped
using a J-Trap or fi eld supplied loop.
• There must always be a drain attached to the collector
at the outlet of the secondary heat exchanger.
• There must always be a drain at the outlet of the inducer
assembly.
• There must always be a drain at the lowest point of the
venting system.
Exceptions and clarifi cations to the general rules:
• In some cases, the lowest point in the vent system is
where it connects to the inducer (Options 6 & 8). In this
case one drain at this location is suffi cient.
• If the vent exits the furnace horizontally, the vent may
be turned vertically with a tee. The drip leg formed by the tee must include a drain (Options 1-4, 9, 11, 12, 14).
• In certain cases, it is permitted to drain the inducer back
into the top drain of the collector (Options 1, 3, 5, 7, 9,
10, 12, & 13). To ensure proper drainage of condensate,
make sure the drain line does not sag or becomes
twisted. The drain tube supplied with the furnace may
need to be trimmed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the furnace is installed in an
area where temperatures fall below freezing, special
precautions must be made for insulating condensate
drain lines that drain to the outdoors. If condensate
freezes in the lines, this will cause improper operation
or damage to the furnace. It is recommended that all
drain lines on the outside of the residence be wrapped
with an industry approved insulation or material
allowed by local code.
Bottom Panel Removal
The steps listed below describe how to remove the bottom
panel from the furnace. See Figure 20.
1. Remove the door (1) from the blower compartment.
2. Disconnect the blower motor wiring harness (2) from

GAS SUPPLY & PIPING
WARNING:
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
• Failure to follow safety warnings exactly
could result in serious injury or property
damage.
• Installation and service must be performed
by a qualifi ed installer, service agency or
the gas supplier.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other
fl ammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not
use any phone in your building.
• Leave the building immediately.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from
a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas
supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call
the fi re department.
All gas piping must be installed in compliance with local
codes and utility regulations. In the absence of local codes
the gas line installation must comply with the latest edition
of the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1) or (CAN/
CGA B149.1 or .2) Installation Codes.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Some local regulations require the installation of a
manual main shut-off valve and ground joint union
external to the furnace. The shut-off valve should
be readily accessible for service and/or emergency
use. Consult the local utility or gas supplier for
additional requirements regarding placement of the
manual main gas shut-off. See Figure 22 (page 22).
• Gas piping must never run in or through air ducts,
chimneys, gas vents, or elevator shafts.
• Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping
must be resistant to the actions of liquefied
petroleum gases.
• The main gas valve and main power disconnect to
the furnace must be properly labeled by the installer
in case emergency shutdown is required.
• Flexible gas connectors are not recommended for
this type of furnace but may be used if allowed by
local jurisdiction. Only new fl exible connectors may
be used. Do not reuse old fl exible gas connectors.
• A drip leg should be installed in the vertical pipe
run to the unit. See Figure 22.
AVERTISSEMENT:

• L’installation et l’entretien doivent être effectués
par un installateur qualifié, un organisme de
service ou le fournisseur de gazstaller, service
agency or the gas supplier.
• Ne pas entreposer ni utiliser de l’essence ni
d’autres vapeurs ou liquides infl ammables dans le
voisinage de cet appareil, ni de tout autre appareil.
QUE FAIRE S’IL Y A UNE ODEUR DE GAZ
• Ne pas tenter d’allumer aucun appareil.
• Ne toucher à aucun interrupteur électrique;
n’utiliser aucun téléphone dans le bâtiment.
• Évacuer l’immeuble immédiatement.
• Appeler immédiatement le fournisseur de gaz en
employant le téléphone d’un voisin. Respecter à
la lettre les instructions du fournisseur de gaz.
• Si personne ne répond, appeler le service des
incendies.
Table 12 (page 37) lists gas fl ow capacities for standard
pipe sizes as a function of length in typical applications
based on nominal pressure drop in the line.
The furnace may be installed for either left or right side gas
entry. When connecting the gas supply, provide clearance
between the gas supply line and the entry hole in the
furnace casing to avoid unwanted noise and/or damage to
the furnace. Typical gas hookups are shown in Figure 22.
Leak Check
WARNING:
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could
result in serious injury or property damage.
Never test for gas leaks with an open fl ame.
Use a commercially available soap solution
made specifi cally for the detection of leaks
to check all connections. A fi re or explosion
may result causing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
21
Page 22
AVERTISSEMENT:
RISQUE D’INDENDIE OU D’EXPLOSION
Le non-respect des avertissements de
sécurité pourrait d’entraîner des blessures
graves, la mort ou des dommages matériels.
Ne jamais utiliser une fl amme nue por vérifi er la
présence des fuites de gaz. Pour la vérifi cation
de tous les joints, utiliser plutôt une solution
savonneuse commerciale fabriquée spécifi quement
pur la détection des fuites de gaz. Un incendie ou
une explosion peut entraîner des dommages
matériels, des blessures ou la mort.
After the gas piping to the furnace is complete, all
connections must be tested for gas leaks. This includes
pipe connections at the main gas valve, emergency shutoff
valve and fl exible gas connectors (if applicable). The soap
and water solution can be applied on each joint or union
using a small paintbrush. If any bubbling is observed,
the connection is not sealed adequately and must be
retightened. Repeat the tightening and soap check process
until bubbling ceases.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When pressure testing gas supply
lines at pressures greater than 1/2 psig (14 inch W.C.),
the gas supply piping system must be disconnected
from the furnace to prevent damage to the gas control
valve. If the test pressure is less than or equal to 1/2
psig (14 inch W.C.), close the manual shut-off valve.
To derate the fur nace requires knowing the heating value of
the gas at the installation site. Heating values at particular
job sites vary for two reasons:
1. The chemical mixture of the gas varies from region
to region and is expressed as the “sea level heating
value”.
2. The heating value varies by altitude. For this reason,
particularly in high altitude areas, the local gas utility
usually specifi es the heating value at the residence’s
gas meter as the “local value”.
For added fl exibility, two tables have been provided for
natural gas installations with high or low heating values at
sea level. Tables 15 and 16 (page 39) contain the orifi ce
sizes and manifold pressure to use at various altitudes.
Table 15 (HIGH) is for natural gas installations with a
heating value of more than 1,000 Btu per cubic foot and
Table 16 (LOW) is for less than 1,000 Btu per cubic foot.
To determine which table to use:
1. Consult your local utility for the local heating value at
your installation.
2. From Table 14 (page 38), fi nd your local heating value
as supplied by the utility company. Follow down the
column and stop at your altitude level.
3. If your sea level heating value is HIGH, use Table 15
or if it’s LOW, use Table 16. See example.
Type of Gas: ........................................... Natural Gas
Local Heating Value of Gas: ..............................750
High Altitude Application
The installation of this furnace at altitudes above 2,000
feet must meet the requirements of the National Fuel Gas
Code or local jurisdiction. In Canada, the requirements for
high altitude are different and governed by CGA B149.1.
Please consult your local code authority.
WARNING:
The reduction of input rating necessary for high
altitude installation may only be accomplished
with factory supplied orifi ces. Do not attempt to
drill out orifi ces in the fi eld. Improperly drilled
orifi ces may cause fi re, explosion, carbon
monoxide poisoning, personal injury or death.
The furnaces are shipped from the factory with orifi ces
and gas regulator settings for natural gas operation at sea
level altitudes. At 2000 feet, the NFGC requires that this
appliance be derated 4% for each 1000 feet of altitude.
For example, the input needs to be reduced 8% at 2,000
feet, 12% at 3,000 feet, etc. This deration is in reference
to the input rate and gas heating value at sea level.
From Table 14, fi nd 750 and follow down the column,
stop at the 5,000 feet row. The heating value listed is
LOW. Table 16 will be used to determine orifi ce size and
manifold pressure.
After changing the regulator pressure or changing the
orifi ces, it is required that you measure the gas input rate.
This may be accomplished in the usual way, by clocking
the gas meter and using the local gas heating value. See
Verifying & Adjusting the Input Rate section (page 28).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Observe the action of the burners
to make sure there is no yellowing, lifting or fl ashback
of the fl ame.

Autostaging for Single Stage Thermostats
The Autostaging feature included on all G7 2-stage
furnaces makes it possible to use a single stage thermostat
and still receive some of the benefi ts of 2-stage furnace
operation. If Autostage is enabled, the furnace will drop to
LOW fi re after initially starting in HIGH fi re. After a period
of time (8 or 12 minutes) the furnace will then stage up
to HIGH fi re, until the heating load is met. See Figure 24
and the Low Voltage Wiring section (page 25).
Autostaging options are selected using the autostage
jumper located near the thermostat terminal block. See
Figure 32 ( page 40). When the autostage jumper is moved
from NONE to SHORT or LONG, the following occurs
during a call for heat:
26
Page 27
1. Setting the Autostage jumper in the SHORT position
signals the control to utilize an 8 minute delay between
LOW fi re and HIGH fi re when a call for heat is supplied
via 24V signal to W1. This setting is the same as
jumping R to W2
2. Setting the Autostage jumper in the LONG position
signals the control to utilize an 12 minute delay
between LOW fi re and HIGH fi re when a call for heat
is supplied via 24V signal to W1. This setting is the
same as jumping W1 to W2
3. If a humidistat is not available, it is an acceptable option
to connect the R & DHUM terminals on the motor
control board together with a fi eld supplied wire. This
option causes the blower to run at a reduced CFM for
10 minutes after a call for cooling.

Autostaging for Two-Stage Thermostats
The Autostage setting on the furnace control board (Figure
32, page 40) is disabled when shipped from the factory.
This feature will be not used when paired with a two-stage
thermostat. The autostage jumper setting (P7) must be
kept on NONE to allow the thermostat to adjust stages.
Please note that on certain thermostats, even without the
autostage jumper in the LONG position, W1 & W2 may
be energized at exactly the same time when a recovery
from a set-back begins, the user adjusts the set point,
or the system is powered on. If W1 & W2 are energized
at exactly the same time for any reason, the control will
operate in the autostage LONG (12 minute) mode. If the
autostage jumper is in the NONE position and autostaging
is activated unexpectedly for any of the reasons listed, it
will return to normal, staged operation after the completion
of the heating cycle.
Heat Anticipator
Set the heat anticipator according to the instructions
supplied by the thermostat manufacturer.To determine
the heat anticipator setting:
1. Add the current draw of the system components; or
2. Measure the current fl ow on the thermostat R & W
circuit after the circulating blower motor has started.
Dehumidifi cation Options
Both motor control boards (Figures 30 & 31, page 40)
have a DHUM connection that allows the system to
increase the amount of humidity that is removed from
the circulating air. This is accomplished by reducing the
CFM and allowing the cooling coil to become colder. This
will only occur when there is a call for cooling.There are
many ways that this can be electrically wired:
1. If the room thermostat incorporates a humidity sensor
and DHUM output, connect the DHUM on the
thermostat to the DHUM terminal on the motor control
board (Figure 27).
2. If using a separate humidistat, connect the
DHUM & R terminals on the humidistat to the
DHUM & R terminals on the motor control board.
In this option, the DHUM output of the humidistat must
be set to be normally open and closed when there is
a call for humidifi cation.
Figure 27. DHUM Wiring Confi guration
Blower Speed Confi guration
Two-stage furnaces use high effi ciency circulating air
motors that come in two variations and both are controlled
differently. The fi xed speed motor control board (Figure
30, page 40) controls the torque and the variable speed
motor control board (Figure 31) controls the airfl ow at a
constant CFM. Both boards use the same furnace control
board (Figure 32).
Fixed Speed Blower Applications
NOTE: This section applies only to furnaces with model
numbers suffi xed with two numbers, followed by a letter,
such as 35C or 45D. If your model has suffi x VA, VB,
VC, or VD, please consult the Variable Speed Blower
Application section.
The fi xed speed motor control board (Figure 30) contains
a set of dip switches for setting the blower speed. Use pins
1 to 4 to set the blower speed for heating and pins 5 to 8
to set the speed for cooling. To determine the appropriate
switch settings for your installation, see Table 9 (page 35)
for heating or Table 10 (page 36) for cooling.
For thermostats with a dehumidifi er output, use a fi eld
supplied wire to connect the thermostat’s dehumidifi er
output to the terminal marked DHUM. The thermostat
should be set so that the DHUM output should be high
(positive) when dehumidifi cation is needed. See also
Dehumidifi cation Options section.
CAUTION:
The terminal marked “Y1_IN” on the variable
speed motor control board is not an output to
drive the outdoor unit. DO NOT connect Y1_IN
on the motor control board to the outdoor unit.
Variable Speed Blower Applications
NOTE: This section applies only to models ending with
the suffi xes VA, VB, VC, or VD.
The variable speed motor control board (Figure 31, page
40) has a set of dip switches for setting the base blower
speed. Use pins 1 to 4 to set the blower speed for heating
and pins 5 to 8 to set the speed for cooling. To determine
27
Page 28
the appropriate switch settings for your installation, see
Table 9 (page 35) for heating or Table 10 (page 36) for
cooling.
Use fi eld supplied wire to connect the thermostat’s
dehumidifi er output to the terminal marked DHUM. The
thermostat should be set so that the DHUM output is
high (positive) when dehumidifi cation is needed. See also
Dehumidifi cation Options section (page 27).
CAUTION:
The variable speed control board is used
by other appliances. Many of the terminals
and connections on the board are for other
appliances and are not used in the two stage
application. The only two-stage fi eld connection
to this board is the DHUM terminal, used to
reduce the blower speed during cooling.
START-UP & ADJUSTMENTS
Pre-Start Check List
Verify the polarity of the connections are correct, the
line voltage power leads are securely connected and
the furnace is properly grounded.
Verify that all needed thermostat wires are securely
connected to the correct leads on the terminal strip of
the circuit board. See Figures 24 - 26 (page 26).
Verify the gas line service pressure does not exceed
10.0 inches of water column, and is not less than 4.5
inches W.C. for natural gas. For LP gas the line service
pressure must not exceed 14 in. W.C., and must not be
less than 11.0 in. W.C.
Verify the roll-out and manual reset switch is closed.
If necessary, press the button to reset the switch. DO
NOT install a jumper wire across a switch to defeat
its function. If a switch reopens on start-up, DO NOT
reset the switch without identifying and correcting the
fault condition.
Verify the blower door is in place, closing the door switch
in the line voltage circuit.
Verify the gas line has been purged and all connections
are leak free.
Start-up Procedures
Do not perform these steps until all of the checks in the
previous steps have been completed:
1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
2. Turn off all electrical power to the furnace.
3. Follow the Operating Instructions on the furnace label.
4. Set the thermostat above room temperature and verify
the Operating Sequence. See page 29.
5. After 5 minutes of operation, set the thermostat below
room temperature and verify steps 11 & 12 of the
Operating Sequence.
Verifying & Adjusting Input Rate
The input rate must be verifi ed for each installation to
prevent over-fi ring of the furnace. NOTE: The input rate
must not exceed the rate shown on the furnace rating plate.
At altitudes above 2,000 feet, it must not exceed that on
the rating plate less 4% for each 1,000 feet. To determine
the exact input rate, perform the following procedures:
1. Shut off all other gas fi red appliances.
2. Start and run the furnace in high fi re for at least 3
minutes.
3. Measure the time (in seconds) required for the gas
meter to complete one revolution.
4. Convert the time per revolution to cubic feet of gas
per hour using Table 11 (page 37).
5. Multiply the gas fl ow rate in cubic feet per hr by the
heating value of the gas in Btu per cubic ft to obtain
the input rate in Btuh. See example at top of page.
Example:
• Time for 1 revolution of a gas meter with a 1 cubic ft
dial = 40 seconds.
• From Table 11 read 90 cubic ft gas per hr.
• Local heating value of the gas (obtained from gas
supplier) = 1,040 Btu per cubic ft.
• Input rate = 1,040 x 90 = 93,600 Btuh.
6. The manifold pressure must be set to the appropriate
value for each installation by a qualifi ed installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to drill the gas orifi ces. Use only
factory supplied orifi ces. Improperly drilled
orifi ces may cause fi re, explosion, carbon
monoxide poisoning, personal injury or death.
a.) Remove plastic cap from pressure regulator.
b.) Obtain the manifold pressure setting required for
this installation by referring to Table 13 (page 38)
for Propane or Tables 15 or 16 for Natural Gas
(page 39).
c.) Using an Allen wrench, turn the the LO Input
Adjusting Screw on the LO side of the regulator
to adjust the reduced input setting or turn the HI
Input Adjusting Screw on the side of the regulator
to adjust the full input setting. NOTE: Turning the
adjusting screw clockwise increases the pressure
and counterclockwise reduces the pressure. See
Figure 28 (page 29).
d.) Reinstall plastic cap after adjustment is complete.
Verifying & Adjusting Temperature Rise
Confi rm the temperature rise through the furnace is
within the limits specifi ed on the furnace rating plate. Any
temperature rise outside the specifi ed limits could result
in premature failure of the heat exchanger.
28
Page 29
HI Input
Adjusting Screw
Figure 28. HI & LO Input Adjusting Screws
1. Place thermometers in the return and supply air
stream as close to the furnace as possible. To avoid
false readings, the thermometer on the supply air side
must be shielded from direct radiation from the heat
exchanger.
2. Adjust all registers and duct dampers to the desired
position and run the furnace for 10 to 15 minutes in
high fi re before taking any temperature readings. The
temperature rise is the difference between the supply
and return air temperatures.
For typical duct systems, the temperature rise will fall
within the limits specifi ed on the rating plate with the
blower speed at the factory recommended setting. If
the measured temperature rise is outside the specifi ed
limits, it may be necessary to change the speed of the
blower. NOTE: Lowering the blower speed increases the
temperature rise and a higher blower speed will decrease
the temperature rise.
The furnace is equipped with a multi-speed motor. Heating
and cooling speed selection is made by moving the
switches on the integrated control located in the furnace.

Verifying Burner Operation
CAUTION:
The door over the burners may only be open
for inspection purposes only. The door must be
installed during unattended operation.
1. Remove the burner compartment door.
2. Set the thermostat above room temperature and
observe the ignition sequence. The burner fl ame should
carry over immediately between all burners without
lifting off, curling, or fl oating. The fl ames should be
blue, without yellow tips.
3. After validating flame characteristics, change
thermostat setting to below room temperature.
4. Verify burner fl ame is completely extinguished.
5. Replace the burner compartment door.
Verifying Operation of the Supply Air Limit
Switch
A properly functioning limit switch should turn off the
gas valve when the return is blocked (time depends on
how well the return air is blocked). The circulating air and
combustion blowers should continue to run when the limit
switch opens.
1. Check the blower door for secure mounting and that
there is power to the furnace.
2. Block the return airfl ow to the furnace by installing a
close-off plate in place of or upstream of the fi lter(s).
3. Set the thermostat above room temperature and
observe the Operating Sequence.
4. Remove the close-off immediately after the limit switch
opens. If the furnace continues to operate with no
return air, set the thermostat below room temperature,
shut off the power to the furnace, and replace the limit
switch.
OPERATING SEQUENCE
The operating sequences for the heating, cooling, and fan
modes are described below. Refer to the fi eld and furnace
wiring diagrams: (Figure 23, page 25), (Figures 24 - 26,
page 26), & (Figures 33 - 36, pages 41 - 44).
Heating Cycle
1. The thermostat calls for heat by energizing the W1
terminal with 24VAC.
2. The control checks to see the pressure switch is open.
If the switch is closed, the furnace will shut down for
5 minutes before retrying
3. If the pressure switch is open, the control energizes
the inducer motor and waits for the pressure switch
to close. The pressure switch must close within 12
seconds.
4. The control runs the inducer for a 30 second pre-purge
time.
5. The control energizes the igniter output for the
appropriate adaptive warm-up time limit.
6. The furnace always ignites the burners in high fi re. If
the call for heat is for low rate, the furnace will move
down to low fi re after the fl ames stabilize.
7. If the fl ame is proved and ignites the gas, the control
de-energizes the igniter. The gas valve and inducer
remains energized. The control goes to blower on
delay.
8. The control energizes the blower on the selected
HEAT speed 30 seconds after the gas valve opened.
The gas valve and inducer remain energized.
9. If there is a call for high fi re, the gas valve moves
to the high fi re position and the blower speeds are
increased. The furnace will remain in high fi re until
the demand for heat is satisfi ed.
10. If autostaging is enabled (single stage thermostat) the
demand for heat has lasted more than the selected
time, the furnace automatically moves up to high fi r e .
Autostage times are either SHORT (8 minutes), LONG
29
Page 30
(12 minutes) or OFF, depending on the Jumper (P7)
setting on the Furnace Control Board.
11. When the thermostat demand for heat is satisfi ed, the
control de-energizes the gas valve. The inducer output
remains on for a 30 second post-purge period.
12. The circulating air blower will continue to run for the
selected Blower Off Delay(P5). This may be 60, 90,
or 120 seconds depending on the Jumper setting on
the Furnace Control Board.
Cooling Cycle
1. The thermostat calls for cooling by energizing the Y /
Y2 or Y1 terminal with 24VAC.
2. The control energizes the blower in the cooling speed
and sends 24VAC to the contactor in the condensing
unit.
3. When the thermostat removes the call for cooling,
the contactor in the outdoor condensing unit is deenergized and the control continues to run the fan for
a period of 60 seconds.
Fan Mode
• When the thermostat energizes the G terminal for
continuous fan (without calling for heat or cooling), the
indoor fan is energized on the selected FAN speed.
• If a call for cooling occurs during continuous fan, the
blower will switch over to the selected COOL speed.
• If the W terminal receives a call for heat during
continuous fan, the blower will de energize.
• A call for fan is ignored while in lockout.
• The blower will operate at 50% of the selected high
cooling speed for continuous fan operation.
Pressure Switches: Verifi es that the inducer is drawing
the combustion gases through the heat exchanger. The
pressure switch prevents furnace operation with excessive
fl ue / condensate blockage or improper inducer operation.
Supply Air Limit Switch: Prevents the air temperature
leaving the furnace from exceeding the maximum allowable
outlet air temperature.
MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance is most important to achieve the best
performance from a furnace. Follow these instructions for
years of safe, trouble free operation.
WARNING:
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE OR EXPLOSION
HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could
result in serious injury 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.
• Verify proper operation after servicing.”
DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
The descriptions below are various functional components
that affect the operation and shutting down of this furnace.
Some of these components and their locations are shown in
Figure 41 (page 50). If any component of the furnace must
be replaced, use only factory authorized replacement parts
specifi ed in the Replacement Parts List provided online.
Blower Limit Switch: Prevents operation when blower
is not operational.
Condensate Drain Switch: The Condensate Drain Switch
will shut down the furnace if the condensate drain from

• Always reinstall the doors on the furnace after servicing
or cleaning/changing the fi lters. Do not operate the
furnace without all doors and covers in place.
• Verify that the thermostat is properly installed and
is not affected by drafts or heat from lamps or other
appliances.
• To achieve the best performance and minimize
equipment failure it is recommended that a yearly
maintenance checkup be performed. At a minimum,
this check should include the following items:
Air Filter(s)
WARNING:
Never operate the furnace without a fi lter in
place. Dust and lint in the return air can build
up on internal components, resulting in loss of
effi ciency, equipment damage, and possible fi re.
Note: Air fi lter(s) are not supplied with the furnace as
shipped from the factory. The installer must provide a
high velocity fi lter and rack for a fi lter in the return air
duct adjacent to the furnace, or in a return air grill to the
furnace. It is recommended that fi lters be 1” or 2” thick and
be cleaned or replaced monthly. New or newly renovated
homes may require more frequent changing until the
construction dust has minimized.
Filters designed to remove smaller particles such as pollen,
may require additional maintenance. Filters for side return
and bottom return applications are available from most
local distributors.
Blower Compartment
Dirt and lint can create excessive loads on the motor
resulting in higher than normal operating temperatures
and shortened service life. It is recommended that the
blower compartment be cleaned of dirt or lint that may
have accumulated in the compartment or on the blower
and motor as part of the annual inspection.
Cleaning of Burners
If the burners must be cleaned, follow the steps below and
see Figure 40 (page 51) for component location.
1. Shut off gas supply to the furnace either at the meter
or at a manual valve in the supply piping.
2. Turn off all power to the furnace and set the thermostat
to it’s lowest setting.
3. Remove the burner door from the furnace.
4. Turn the gas control switch to the OFF position.
5. Disconnect the wires from the gas valve, igniter, fl ame
sensor, and fl ame rollout switch.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the unit or internal
components, it is recommended that two
wrenches be used when loosening or tightening
nuts. Do not over tighten!
6. Using two wrenches, separate the ground-joint union
in the gas supply piping at the furnace.
7. Remove the piping between the Gas Valve and the
ground-joint union. (If applicable).
8. Remove all screws securing the Manifold Assembly
to the Burner Box.
9. Carefully remove the burner assembly from the
furnace. DO NOT DAMAGE THE IGNITER WHILE
REMOVING THE BURNER ASSEMBLY.
10. Inspect the burners for accumulated dust or debris.
If necessary carefully clean them with a soft wire
brush and a vacuum cleaner. DO NOT DAMAGE THE
IGNITER WHILE CLEANING THE BURNER.
11. Replace all the parts in reverse order from which they
were removed.
12. Follow the lighting instructions found on the furnace
door to return the furnace to operation. Verify proper
operation after servicing.
Heat Exchanger & Burner Maintenance
The furnace should operate for many years without soot
buildup in the fl ue passageways, however, the fl ue, vent
system, and burners should be inspected and cleaned
(if required) by a qualifi ed service technician annually to
ensure continued safe operation. Pay attention to any
deterioration from corrosion or other sources.
WARNING:
Holes in the vent pipe or heat exchanger can
cause combustion products to enter the home.
Replace the vent pipe or heat exchanger if leaks
are found. Failure to prevent the circulation
of combustion products into the living space
can create potentially hazardous conditions
including carbon monoxide poisoning that
could result in personal injury or death.
Lubrication
The bearings in the blower motor and inducer blower used
in these furnaces are pre-lubricated and sealed by the
manufacturer. No further oiling of the bearings is required
for the life of the motor.
Vent System
Check the inlet pipe (if applicable) and outlet pipe to ensure
they are not blocked by debris. Any damaged section
of vent pipe must be replaced, and any obstruction or
blockage must be removed prior to operating the furnace.
