VENTING AND COMBUSTION AIR REQUIREMENTS
General
Provisions must be made in the installation of this furnace to provide an adequate supply of air for combustion. Detailed instructions for determining the adequacy of an installation can be found in the current revision of the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA54) or in applicable local building codes. Consult local codes for special requirements. For Canadian installations consult Canadian Installations Codes and (CAN/CGA B149.1 or .2).If the furnace is operated with inadequate air for combustion one of the flame roll-out switches located in the burner compartment or the vent switch will open, turning off the gas supply to the burners. These safety devices are manually reset switches. DO NOT install jumper wires across these switches to defeat their function. DO NOT reset a switch without identifying and correcting the fault condition. If a switch must be replaced, use only the correct part specified in the Replacement Parts List.
Air openings in the furnace door, warm air registers, and return air grilles must not be restricted.
3. 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 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
• De-icing salts or chemicals
• Carbon tetrachloride
• Halogen type refrigerants
• Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene)
• Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc.
• Hydrochloric acid
• Cements and glues
• Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers
• Masonry acid washing materials
!
WARNING:
Furnace installation using methods other than those described in the following sections must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code and all applicable local codes to provide sufficient combustion air for the furnace.
!
CAUTION:
Combustion air must not be drawn from a corrosive atmosphere.
To maximize heat exchanger life, the combustion air must be free of chemicals which form corrosive acidic compounds in the combustion gases.
Combustion Air Quality
The recommended source of combustion air is to use the outdoor air supply. However, the use of indoor air in most applications is acceptable except as follows:
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 attic, crawl space, air duct, or direct opening.
2. If outdoor combustion air is used, there must be no exposure to the installations or substances listed in Item 3 below.
8
Installation In An Unconfined Space
An unconfined 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.
For example, a space including 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 unconfined. If the space has an 8 foot ceiling, the floor area of the space must be 750 square feet (6,000 / 8 = 750). In general, a furnace installed in an unconfined space will not require outside air for combustion. However, in “tight” buildings (with weather stripping and caulk to reduce infiltration), it may be necessary to provide outside air to ensure adequate combustion and venting, even though the furnace is located in an unconfined space.
Installation In A Confined Space
A confined space is an area with volume less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh of the combined input rates of all
Page 9
appliances drawing combustion air from that space. Furnace closets, small equipment rooms and garages are confined spaces. Furnaces installed in a confined 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. A confined space
must have two openings into 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 floor. 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.
Downflow Warning (*RK Models):
The design of the downflow furnace is certified for natural or propane gas and for installation on non-combustible flooring. A special combustible floor sub-base is required when installing on a combustible floor. Failure to install the sub-base may result in fire, property damage and personal injury. The special downflow sub-bases are factory sup­plied accessories, part numbers 902677 and 902974. When the furnace is installed on a factory or site-built cased air conditioning coil, the sub-base is not necessary. How­ever, the plenum attached to the coil casing must be installed such that its surfaces are at least 1" from combustible construction.
Supply Air Plenum Installation
A. Installation on a concrete slab. - *RK
1. Construct a hole in the floor per the dimensions in Figure 2.
2. Place the plenum and the furnace as shown in Figure
3.
B. Installation on a combustible floor. - *RK
1. Cut and frame the hole in the floor per the dimensions in Figure 4.
2. Place sub-base for combustible floors over the hole with its duct collar extended downward. Attach the supply air plenum to the base in a manner which will assure 1" clearance to the flooring or other combus­tible construction. Place furnace on the combustible base as shown in Figure 6.
3. When a factory or site built cased coil is provided beneath the furnace the sub-base for combustible floors is not necessary. However, the plenum at­tached to the cased coil must be installed such that its surfaces are at least 1" from the flooring or other combustible construction.
Horizontal Furnace Installation
This furnace can be installed horizontally in an attic, basement, crawl space or alcove. It can be suspended from a ceiling in a basement or utility room in either a right to left airflow or left to right airflow. (See Figure 2.)
!
CAUTION:
The downflow sub-base must not be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or any combustible material other than wood flooring.
A gas-fired furnace installed in a residential garage must be installed so the burners and the igniter are located not less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor, and the furnace must be located or protected to avoid 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 and any other flammable vapors and liquids, in the vicinity of the furnace.
If the furnace is to be suspended from the ceiling, it will be necessary to use steel straps around each end of the furnace. These straps should be attached to the furnace with sheet metal screws and to the rafters with bolts. The furnace could also be suspended by an angle iron frame bolted to the rafters.

should be evenly spaced around the flue diameter, if possible.
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.
This furnace must never be vented to a chimney flue servicing a fireplace or other appliance designed to burn solid fuel. If the furnace vent is to be connected to a chimney serving a fireplace, the fireplace must be sealed off from the chimney.
For Category I furnace installations, the furnace shall be connected to a factory built chimney or vent complying with a recognized standard, or a masonry or concrete chimney lined with a lining material acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction. Venting into an unlined masonry
chimney or concrete chimney is prohibited.
The furnace vent, if metal, may be insulated if local codes allow. Any part of the vent system, metal vent only, not exposed to weather, but which are exposed to ambient temperatures below 35° F must be insulated to prevent condensation. All vent insulation shall be foil backed fiberglass of one inch minimum thickness.
Three sheet metal fasteners (field supplied) should be used to secure the vent pipe to the furnace flue. These fasteners
Category I - Common Venting
When an existing furnace is removed from a venting system serving other appliances, the venting system is likely to be too large to properly vent the remaining appliances. An improperly sized venting system can result in the formation of condensate, leakage, spillage, etc.
The venting system should be designed to have the minimum number of elbows or turns. All horizontal runs shall be sloped upwards from the furnace at 1/4 inch per running foot of vent. Supports for the vent pipe must be installed a minimum of every five feet along the vent run to ensure no displacement after installation.
Under no circumstances shall any portion of the vent system extend into or pass through any return air duct, supply air duct, or plenum.
If the furnace is operated with blocked or restricted venting, the blocked vent switch located in the vent plate will open, turning off the gas supply to the burners. The blocked vent switch is a manually reset device. DO NOT install a jumper

WARNING:
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation could result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death. The following steps shall be followed for each appliance connected to the venting system being placed into operation, while all other appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation:
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required in the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223. 1/NFPA 54 or the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes
and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. As far as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to the venting system are located and other spaces of the building.
4. Close fireplace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they are operating at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so appliance is operating continuously.
7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle.
8. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the venting system must be corrected in accordance with the
or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/
.

defined as a Category III furnace, the vent pressure is positive, and the venting system must be sealed in both horizontal and vertical runs.
For horizontal venting installations in both the United States and Canada the transition assembly must be modified by adding a bleed tube to the pressure switch tube and bypassing the vent switch. All model furnaces will require Vent Kit #903196 for horizontal venting.
Horizontal Venting For Upflow Models:
1. Remove the rubber tubing from the pressure switch sensor tube and the collector pan sensor tube. Cut 1/2 inch from one end of the rubber sensor tube, fold in half and cut along the bend line. Discard the 1/2 inch long piece of tubing. Select the correct bleed tube using the table supplied with vent kit #903196 and place the other two pieces of tubing on both ends of the bleed tube. Do not cover the hole in the bleed tube. Place the assembly back on the pressure switch sensor tube and the collector pan sensor tube. (See Figure 12.)
cover the hole(s) on the vent collar assembly. Tighten the nut securely while holding the cover plate in position. (See Figure 13.)
3. Bypass the vent switch by removing both wires from the vent switch and attaching them to the wire nut. (See Figure 14.)
!
CAUTION:
Do not drill holes through the vent pipe or fittings on a horizontal vented furnace. Do not use sheet metal screws, or rivets. Drilling, screws, or rivets will cause leaks.
The components of the horizontal vent system must not be penetrated with screws, rivets, or other devices, either when joining pipes and fittings or using support straps. All joints must be sealed with high temperature silicone before locking bands are installed. If the lengths of pipe must be cut, the joint must still be sealed with silicone and the locking band used. When installing the condensate tube be sure to form a trap by means of a 3" loop filled with water. (See Figure 15.)

2. Remove the rubber tubing from the pressure switch sensor tube and the collector pan sensor tube. Cut the tubing approximately 3" from one end. Select the appropriate dilution cover plate as noted with vent kit #903196. Insert the bleed tube into the tubing. Do not cover the hole in the bleed tube. Place the tubing assembly back on the pressure switch sensor tube and collector pan sensor tube. (See Figure 16.)
3. To gain access to the restrictor plate, remove and discard the combustion tube from the transition assem­bly. Insure the seal between inducer and transition assembly is not broken. (See Figure 17.)
4. Remove and discard the restrictor plate and screw from the transition assembly. (See Figure 17.)
5. Install and seal a 4" to 3" reducer to the transition. (See Figure 18.) Attach the new high temperature vent pipe to the reducer.
NOTE: The direction of the male-female joints from the drain tee to the termination tee is opposite to standard gas appliance venting. The male end of the pipes point towards the furnace.
1. Apply an adhesive bead around the outside of the pipe approximately 1/4" from the end of the pipe. This includes the first fitting or pipe attached to the furnace.
2. Push the pipe and fitting together while twisting the pipe or fitting. Twisting the pipe or fitting spreads the adhesive completely within the fitting socket.
3. When the pipe is at the socket bottom, inspect the joint. Look for a complete, uninterrupted ring of adhesive material around the pipe at the fitting socket. Additional adhesive or rotation of the pipe or fitting may be required for a complete seal. The
The components of the horizontal vent system must not be penetrated with screws, rivets, or other devices, either when joining pipes and fittings or using support straps. All joints must be sealed with high temperature silicone before locking bands are installed. If the lengths of pipe must be cut, the joint must still be sealed with silicone and the locking band used. When installing the condensate tube be sure to form a trap by means of a 3" loop filled with water. (See Figure 15.)
Keep the number of pipe fittings to a minimum. Maintain a minimum of 6 inches of air space between the vent and combustibles at all times, this includes inside and outside the building.

Table 4. Horizontal Venting Requirements
Horizontal Installation
The vent termination tee must be installed with the following minimum clearances. (See Figure 19.) Vent Termination clearances shall be consistant with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI 2223.1/NFPA 54 and/or the CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
All minimum clearances specified must be maintained to protect building material from degradation by flue gases.
1. The termination tee must be 12 inches above snow level or grade level which ever is higher. See Figure 14 for alternate method to achieve 12" above snow level.
2. The minimum distance from any door, (openable) window, or gravity air inlet is 4 ft. below, 4 ft. horizontally, or 1 ft. above.
3. The vent termination shall be a minimum of 3 ft. above any forced air inlet within 10 ft. (See Figure 19.)
4. Recommended minimum distance from an inside corner formed by two exterior walls is 6 ft., but is not required.
5. The minimum distance from gas or electric meter(s) is 4 ft.
6. Avoid areas where condensate drainage may cause problems such as above planters, patios, or adjacent to windows where the steam from the flue gases may cause fogging. Do not terminate above any public walkway.
7. Select the point of wall penetration where the minimum 1/4 inch per foot of upward slope can be maintained.
8. When penetrating a noncombustible wall, the hole through the wall must be large enough to maintain the pitch, pipe clearance for passage, and provide for proper sealing. Penetrating a combustible wall requires the use of a wall thimble. (See Figure 20.) A 6-1/2 inch square framed opening is required to insert the thimble halves. The thimble is adjustable to varying wall thickness and is held in place by applying sealant to the male sleeve before assembly. Also run a bead of sealant around the outer wall thimble.

10. Attach a 3 inch coupling to the end of the pipe that extends through the wall or thimble. This prevents the vent pipe from being pushed inward.
11. Cut an 8 inch minimum piece of vent pipe and connect the coupling to the termination tee. The inside of the tee must be a minimum of 12 inches from the outside of the wall. (See Figure 21.)
Flexible Vent Systems
Flexible gas vent is approved for use in vertical single vent or common vent installations only. The minimum distance to combustibles is 1" for type B insulated and 6" for single wall. The venting system must be installed in accordance with the local authorities, the vent manufacturer's instructions and the instructions listed below.
The flexible vent must be installed in accordance with the venting tables for vertical or common venting only. The vent system must be supported in horizontal runs with 3/4" pipe strap at a maximum of 5 foot intervals. All horizontal sections must have a slope toward the furnace of not less than 1/4" per foot. The vent must not sag, or have any bends greater than 90 degrees.
CIRCULATING AIR SUPPLY
General
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).
It is recommended that the outlet duct be provided with a removable access panel. This opening should be accessible when the furnace is installed in service and shall be of a size that smoke or reflected light may be observed inside the casing to indicate the presence of leaks in the heat

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 50° F (10° 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 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 airflow 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.
Return Air
In applications where the supply ducts carry heated air to areas outside the space in which the furnace is installed, the return air must be delivered to the furnace by duct(s) sealed to the furnace casing, running full size and without interruption.

WARNING:
Products of combustion must not be allowed to enter the return air ductwork or the circulating air supply. Failure to prevent products of combustion from being circulated 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 confined spaces, all return ductwork must be adequately sealed and joints must be taped. 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 floor or platform on which the furnace is mounted must provide sound physical support of the furnace with no gaps, cracks, or sagging between the furnace and the floor or platform.
Return air and circulating air ductwork must not be connected to any other heat producing device such as a fireplace insert, stove, etc. Doing so may result in fire, explosion, carbon monoxide poisoning, personal injury, or property damage.
For *RA installations: The return air ductwork may be connected to any or all of the following: left side return, right side return, or bottom return. NOTE: Do not use the back of the furnace for return air. Table 2 in the front of these instructions, contains the airflow data for this furnace model. Where maximum airflow is 1800 CFM or more, two openings must be used for return air.
GAS SUPPLY AND PIPING
General
This furnace may be installed for either left or right side gas entry. A typical gas service hookup is shown in Figure 22. When making the gas connection 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. All gas piping must be installed in compliance with local codes and utility regulations. 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. 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. If desirable an 1/8 inch NPT tap must be installed in the gas line to the unit for use when measuring the gas supply pressure. The tap should be readily accessible for service use. A drip leg should be installed in the vertical pipe run to the unit. Table 5 lists gas flow capacities for standard pipe sizes as a function of length in typical applications based on nominal pressure drop in the line.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. Gas piping must not be run in or through air ducts, chimneys, gas vents, elevator shafts, etc.
2. Compounds used on threaded joints of gas piping must be resistant to the actions of liquefied petroleum gases.
3. The main manual gas valve and main power disconnect to the furnace must be properly labeled by the installer in case emergency shutdown is required.

!
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.
High Altitude Application
High altitude application with this furnace can be field performed by a simple adjustment of manifold pressure, and if necessary changing the orifices. The changes required depend on the installation altitude and the heating value of the gas. The gas heating value based on sea level can be obtained from your local gas utility. The heating value of gas at high altitude is always lower than the sea level heating value. The heating values used in Tables 6 & 7 are based on sea level values.
Natural Gas High Altitude Conversion
All factory shipped furnaces are ready to operate between zero and 4999 ft. above sea level. For higher altitudes (between 5000 and 10,000 ft. above sea level), conversion can be achieved simply by adjusting the furnace manifold pressure as shown in Table 6.
After the gas piping to the furnace is complete, all connections must be tested for gas leaks. To check for leaks in gas piping systems, use only a soap and water solution or other approved method.
!
CAUTION:
Do not use matches, lighters, candles, or other sources of open flame to check for gas leaks.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When pressure testing the gas supply lines at pressures greater than 1/2 psig (14 inch W.C.), the furnace must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system 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.), the furnace must be isolated from the gas supply line by closing the manual shut-off valve.
Conversion
Conversion of this furnace to use LP/propane gas must be made by qualified service personnel, using only approved parts.
!
WARNING:
This furnace was equipped at the factory for use with natural gas only. A special kit, supplied by the manufacturer, is required to convert the furnace to operate on LP/propane gas. Failure to use the proper conversion kit can cause fire, explosion, property damage, carbon monoxide poisoning, personal injury, or death.
LP/Propane Gas Sea Level and High Altitude Conversion
IMPORTANT NOTE: When converting a low NOx furnace
from natural gas to LP/Propane, it is necessary to remove the NOx baffles from the furnace.
Conversion of this furnace to utilize LP/propane gas must be made by qualified service personnel, using factory authorized or approved parts. Conversion to LP/propane gas can be accomplished by first replacing the natural gas orifices with the appropriate LP/propane orifices shown in Table 8 or 9. Note: for installations between zero and 5000 ft. above sea level, a #54 or #55 drill size orifice should be used depending upon the rated firing rate of the unit (see

Low Voltage Wiring
Install the thermostat per the manufacturer’s instructions. The low voltage (24 volt) connections from the thermostat are made at the terminal strip on the integrated control in the furnace. See Figure 18 for the proper connections for heating only (two-wire) and heating/cooling (four-wire) applications. The recommended minimum wire gauge for thermostat wiring is shown in Table 10.
The thermostat must not be installed on an outside wall or any other location where its operation may be adversely affected. Adverse affects include radiant loading from fireplaces, sunlight, or lighting fixtures, and convective loading from warm air registers or electrical appliances.
To determine the heat anticipator setting either:
1. Add the current draw of the system components; or
2. Measure the current flow on the thermostat R-W circuit after the circulating blower motor has started.
Set the heat anticipator according to the thermostat manufacturer’s instructions for heat anticipator settings.
START-UP AND ADJUSTMENTS
General
Prior to start-up, verify that:
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 which caused the switch to trip.
5. The blower door is in place, closing the door switch in the line voltage circuit.
6. The gas line has been purged and all connections are leak tight.
Start-up Procedures
After all of the above checks have been made:
1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
2. Close the disconnect(s) to provide line voltage to the furnace.
3. Follow the procedures given on the operating instruction label attached to the furnace.
4. Set the thermostat above room temperature and verify the operating sequence. (See the Sequence of Operation).
5. After the furnace has run for approximately five minutes, set the thermostat below room temperature and verify steps (9) through (11) of the Sequence of
Operation.
1. The line voltage power leads are securely connected, that the polarity of the connections is correct, and that the furnace is properly grounded.
2. The thermostat wires (R, W, Y, and G) are securely connected to the correct leads on the terminal strip of the circuit board.
3. The gas line service pressure does not exceed 10.0 in. water column (0.36 psig), and is not less than 4.5 in. water column (0.16 psig) for natural gas. For LP gas the line service pressure must not exceed 14 in. water column (0.51 psig), and must not be less than
11.0 in. w.c. (0.40 psig).
4. The roll-out and vent safety manual reset switches are closed. If necessary, press the red button to reset a switch. DO NOT install a jumper wire across

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.
5. Multiply the gas flow rate in cubic feet per hour by the heating value of the gas in Btu per cubic foot to obtain the firing rate in Btu per hour. Example:
• Time for 1 revolution of a gas meter with a 1 cubic
foot dial = 40 seconds.
• From Table 11 read 90 cubic feet per hour of gas.
• Heating value of the gas (obtained from gas
supplier) = 1040 Btu per cubic foot.
• Firing rate = 1040 x 90 = 93,600 Btuh.
6. Adjustments to the firing rate can be made by adjusting the gas manifold pressure. See the High Altitude Application section for additional information of firing rate at elevations above 2000 ft.
The manifold pressure must be set to the appropriate value for your installation. Refer to either Table 6 for natural gas or Table 7 for LP/propane gas to verify the manifold pressure setting required for your particular installation. To adjust the manifold pressure, remove the regulator cap and turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase pressure or counter­clockwise to reduce pressure. Replace the regulator cap after adjustments are complete.
!
CAUTION:
Do not re-drill the burner orifices. If the orifice size must be changed, use only new orifices.
Configuring the Blower
The variable speed blower kit is equipped with a micropro­cessor-controlled variable speed motor that is pre-pro­grammed to deliver optimum airflow in a variety of condi­tions and system configurations. Before operation, the variable speed blower kit must be configured to match the unit with the system, system options, and climatic condi­tions. With the variable speed blower kit installed and configured properly, the furnace will respond directly to gradually change speed in response to changes in system variables such as the thermostat settings, duct static, filter, etc. The variable speed blower kit is configured by setting the 7 switches located on the motor control board as described below.
!
IMPORTANT:
The variable speed blower kit has been designed to give the installer maximum flexibility to optimize system performance, efficiency, and comfort. Because there are so many ways to configure the kit it is important to read and follow these instructions carefully.
Selecting Heat Airflow
The heating airflow is selected by setting switches 5, 6 , and 7 as displayed on Figure 21. Refer to Table 2 and select a nominal rise based on the furnace nominal efficiency and input. Follow the table column up to find the switch setting and nominal air-flow. Be sure that the selected rise is within the specification of the furnace as shown on the furnace rating label. For single stage cooling, follow the high airflow column.

Selecting The Cooling/Heat Pump Airflow
In order to select the appropriate airflow for AC and HP operation the nominal system capacity must be known. The nominal system capacity is ALWAYS the nominal capacity of the outdoor unit. In some cases the nominal system capacity is not the same as the nominal capacity of the indoor coil.
The cooling/heat pump airflow is selected by setting switches 1 through 4 on the motor control board located in the blower control panel. All airflows for other modes of operation (except gas heat) are determined by this setting. Table 1 shows the airflow values versus the airflow selector switch settings, and the range of airflow settings recom­mended for each nominal system capacity.
NOTE: The CFM values listed on Table 2 are not dependent on duct static pressure. The motor auto­matically compensates for changes in duct static pres­sure (within the limits of the motor).
For Two Stage Cooling:
The furnace is supplied with the yellow "Y1" and blue "Y2" connections attached to the control board. When installing this furnace with a two stage condensing unit, remove the blue "Y2" wire from the control board and connect to the
thermostat. Connect a field supplied wire from the yellow "Y1" to the thermostat and the condensing unit, and another wire from "Y2" on the thermostat to "Y2" on the condenser. (See Figure 23).
For maximum capacity and energy efficiency, generally, a selection at or near the top of the CFM range for that nominal capacity is best. For maximum dehumidification, select an airflow near the middle or bottom of the CFM range for that nominal capacity.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When installing a 2-stage heat pump with a fossil fuel kit, the transformer in the furnace MUST be upgraded to one with a 60VA rating (Part No. 904077).
NOTE: If coil icing is observed, the cooling/heat pump airflow selected may be too low. Double-check to be sure the setting selected is within the range shown in Table 1. Also check to be sure the system is properly charged (see outdoor unit installation instructions). If icing continues to occur, raise the selected airflow one or two steps.

rises outside the specified range could result in premature heat exchanger failure.
Place thermometers in the return and supply air stream as close to the furnace as possible. The thermometer on the supply air side must be shielded from direct radiation from the heat exchanger to avoid false readings. Adjust all registers and duct dampers to the desired position and run the furnace for ten to fifteen minutes before taking any temperature readings. The temperature rise is the difference between the supply and return air temperatures.

WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect the electric power before performing any maintenance.
Verifying Burner Operation
To verify operation of the burners, make sure that the furnace door is in place and that there is power to the furnace. Set the thermostat to a temperature above room temperature and observe the ignition sequence. The burner flame should carry over immediately between all burners. The flames should be blue, without yellow tips. Flames should extend from each burner without lifting off, curling, or floating. After verifying satisfactory flame characteristics, set the thermostat to a temperature below room temperature and verify that the burner flame extinguishes completely
Verify Operation of the Supply Air Limit Switch
To verify operation of the supply air limit switch, make sure that the blower door is in place and that there is power to the furnace. Block the return airflow to the furnace by installing a close-off plate in place of or upstream of the filter(s). Set the thermostat to a temperature above room temperature and verify that the Sequence of Operation is as described in these instructions. The limit switch should function to turn off the gas valve within approximately four minutes (the exact time depending on the efficiency of the close-off in blocking the return air to the furnace). The combustion blower should continue to run when the limit switch opens. Remove the close-off immediately after the limit switch opens. If the furnace operates for more than four minutes with no return air, set the thermostat to a

DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
Figure 27 shows the location of each of the functional components described below. Also, refer to the Sequence of Operation Section of this manual . If any component of the furnace must be replaced, use only factory authorized replacement parts. See the Replacement Parts List for the factory authorized replacement for each component.
Flame Sensor
The flame sensor acts to prove that flame has carried over from the igniter to the opposite end burner. If no flame is sensed, the furnace will shut down within 7 seconds of ignition.
Flame Roll-Out Switch
The flame roll-out switch verifies that the burner flames are drawn into the heat exchanger tubes. If the burner flames are not properly drawn into the heat exchanger, the flame
roll-out switch will open. The circulating air blower (and combustion blower, if connected) will continue to operate if the flame roll-out switch opens.
Gas Valve
The gas valve controls the flow of gas to the burners. When the gas valve is energized it automatically opens and regulates the gas pressure in the manifold.
Pressure Switch
The pressure switch verifies that the inducer is drawing the combustion gases through the heat exchanger.
Supply Air Limit Switch
The supply air limit switch prevents the air temperature leaving the furnace from exceeding the maximum allowable outlet air temperature.
Vent Safety Switch
The vent safety switch shuts the furnace down if the vent becomes blocked or restricted.

MAINTENANCE
It is recommended that the furnace be checked yearly. At a minimum, this check should include the following items.
!
WARNING:
To avoid electrical shock, personal injury, or death, turn off the electric power at the disconnect or the main service panel before making any electrical connections.
!
WARNING:
Products of combustion must not be allowed to enter the living space. Failure to prevent products of combustion from being circulated into the living space can create potentially hazardous conditions including carbon monoxide poisoning that could result in personal injury or death.
Vent System
Check the vent pipe to ensure that it is not corroded or blocked by debris. Any corroded section of vent pipe must be replaced, and any obstruction or blockage must be removed prior to operating the furnace.
Air Filter(s)
The installer must provide a high velocity filter and rack for a filter in the return air duct adjacent to the furnace, or in a return air grill to the furnace. Filters should be changed or cleaned monthly during the heating season. New or newly renovated homes may require more frequent changing until the construction dust has been removed.
Filters for side return and bottom return applications are available from your local distributors.
Lubrication
The bearings in the circulating air blower motor and inducer blower used in these furnaces are pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory. No further oiling of the bearings is required for the life of the motor.
Blower Compartment
The blower compartment should be cleaned monthly during the heating and cooling seasons to remove any dirt and lint that may have accumulated in the compartment or on the blower and motor. Dirt and lint can create excessive loads on the motor resulting in higher than normal operating temperatures and shortened service life.
Heat Exchanger and Burner Maintenance
The furnace should operate for many years without soot buildup in the flue passageways, however, the flue passageways, the vent system, and the burners should be inspected and cleaned (if required) by a qualified serviceman annually to ensure continued safe operation. Particular attention must be given to identify deterioration from corrosion or other sources.
!
WARNING:
Never operate the furnace without a filter in place. Dust and lint in the return air can build up on internal components, resulting in loss of efficiency, equipment damage, and possible fire.
Air filter(s) are not supplied with the furnace as shipped from the factory.
!
WARNING:
Holes in the vent pipe or heat exchanger can cause products of combustion to enter the home. Replace the vent pipe or heat exchanger if leaks are found. Failure to prevent products of combustion from being circulated into the living space can create potentially hazardous conditions including carbon monoxide poisoning that could result in personal injury or death.

Cleaning Of Flue Passages
If the flue passages must be cleaned, follow the steps below. See Figure 27 for component location and identification.
1. Shut off the gas supply to the furnace either at the meter or at the manual valve in the gas supply piping.
2. Turn off all power to the furnace and set the thermostat to the lowest temperature setting.
3. Remove the louvered door from the furnace.
4. Turn the gas control lever to the OFF position.
5. Disconnect the wires from the gas valve, igniter, flame sensor, combustion air motor, flame roll-out switch, blocked vent switch, over-temperature limit switch, pressure switch.
6. Remove the silicone rubber tube from the collector pan.
7. For *RA models: Remove the screws that hold the vent control assembly to the top panel.
8. Remove the nuts that hold the combustion air motor to the collector pan, and remove the complete combustion air blower and combustion tube assembly. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BREAK THE
SEALS AT EACH END OF THE COMBUSTION AIR TUBE.
9. Remove the screws that hold the collector pan in place, and remove the collector pan from the furnace.
10. Using wrenches, separate the ground-joint union in the gas supply piping at the furnace.
11. Remove the piping between the gas valve and the ground-joint union, if necessary.
!
CAUTION:
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
