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 OutdoorAir 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.

Figure 11. Equipment in a Confined Space with all
Combustion Air Drawn from the Outside through
Horizontal Ducts
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.

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.

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.

9.The vent pipe must extend 1-1/4 inches through the
outer thimble half for a combustible wall. Be sure to
check this carefully before cutting the vent pipe.
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:
The solid base of the furnace must be in place
when the furnace is installed with side return
air ducts. Removal of all or part of the base
could cause products of combustion to be
circulated into the living space and create
potentially hazardous conditions, including
carbon monoxide poisoning that could result
in personal injury or death.

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 backof 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.

LEAK CHECK
t
!
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

disconnect or the main service panel before
making any electrical connections.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
General
Electrical connections must be made in accordance with all
applicable local codes and ordinances, and with the current
revision of the National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA 70).
For Canadian installations the electrical connections and
grounding shall be done in accordance with the current
Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1, Part 1 and/or local
codes). If any of the original wire as supplied with the
furnace must be replaced, it must be replaced with wire
having a temperature rating of at least 105°C. Refer to the
furnace nameplate and Table 10 for electrical requirements.
Table 8. Natural and LP Gas Orifice Sizes for Elevations
between zero and 4999 ft. Above Sea Level
Line Voltage Wiring
The line voltage (115 volt) to the furnace must be supplied
from a dedicated branch circuit containing the correct fuse or
circuit breaker for the furnace. (See Table 10.) An electrical
disconnect must be installed to be readily accessible from
and located within sight of the furnace. (See the Wiring
Diagram label in the furnace and Figure 22.)
!
CAUTION:
Label all wires prior to disconnection when
servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation.
Verify proper operation after servicing.

The furnace cabinet must have an uninterrupted, unbroken
ground to minimize injury should an electrical fault condition
occur. The controls used in this furnace require anearth ground to operate properly. Acceptable methods
for grounding are electrical wire or conduit approved for
electrical ground service. Do not use gas piping as an
electrical ground.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Proper line voltage polarity must be maintained in
order for the control system to operate correctly. Verify
that the incoming neutral line is connected to the white
wire and the incoming “hot” line is connected to the
black wire. These furnaces will not operate unless the
polarity and ground are properly connected. See Figure

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

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.
Verifying and Adjusting Temperature Rise
Verify the temperature rise through the furnace is within the
range specified on the furnace rating plate. Temperature
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.
