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 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 - 8 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

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.
• Before occupying the structure: The fi lter 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.
Installation in a Garage
WARNING:
Do not place combustible materials 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.
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

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.

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.
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 20).
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.

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.
Provisions must be made during the installation of
this furnace that provide an adequate supply of air for
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). See example.
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.
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.
NOTE: 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 burners. 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.
Installation In A Confi ned Space
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.
Vent or
Chimney
NOTES:
Each opening must
be at least 100 sq. in.
or 1 sq. in. per 1,000
Btuh of total input rating,
whichever is greater.
Openings must start at
no more than 12 inches
from the top and bottom
of the enclosure.
When the openings can freely exchange air with the
outdoors, each opening shall have a minimum free area
of 1 square inch per 4,000 Btuh of total appliance input.
The openings shall exchange directly, or by ducts, with
the outdoor spaces (crawl or attic) that freely exchange
with the outdoors (Figure 2, page 8).
The required sizing of these openings is determined by
whether inside or outside air is used to support combustion,

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.
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.
Installation In An Unconfi ned Space
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 I Venting
This furnace is listed as a Category I vented appliance.
Category I furnaces generally operate with a slight
negative pressure (draft) and must be vented vertically or
near vertical. Additionally it is important to guard against
excessive condensation.
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.
• Category I furnace installations must 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.
WARNING:
Venting into an unlined masonry chimney or
concrete chimney is prohibited. This may result
in improper draft and excess condensation
forming in the chimney.
• This furnace may be vented with a dedicated venting
system or common vented with other Category I
appliances. The vent system dimensions and material
must conform to the NFGC or local Codes. Generally,
this means using Type B vent pipe or a lined masonry
chimney. When consulting the vent sizing tables in the
NFGC, the MAX capacity of the vent must be greater
than the furnaces high fi re rate. The MIN capacity must
be lower than the low fi re rate. If the venting system
is inappropriate for the furnace, the venting system
will need to be modifi ed to comply with NFGC or local
codes. The minimum diameter of any vent pipe is 4
inches.
• The venting system should be designed to have the
minimum number of elbows or turns. All horizontal runs
shall slope upwards from the furnace at ¼ inch per
running foot of vent. Supports for the vent pipe must
be installed a minimum of every fi ve feet along the vent
run to ensure no displacement after installation. Under
no circumstances shall any portion of the vent system
9
Page 10
extend into or pass through any return air duct, supply
air duct, or plenum.
• Single wall vent connectors may be used under the
limited capacity ranges found in the vent sizing tables.
It is recommended that Type B double wall vent be
used for the connector whenever possible. An existing
masonry chimney should be inspected and relined if
necessary.
• In the U.S., this furnace must never be vented to
a chimney or fl ue that services a fi replace or other
appliance designed to burn solid fuel. If the furnace
vent is to be connected to a chimney serving a fi replace,
the fi replace must be sealed off from the chimney. In
Canada, common venting with a fi replace is permitted.
Consult B149.1 and your local code authority.
• Single wall metal vertical vents shall not be used for
Category I venting. 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 temperatures below 35° F (1°
C) must be insulated to prevent condensation. All vent
insulation shall be foil backed fi berglass of one inch
minimum thickness.
• Sheet metal fasteners should be used to secure the vent
pipe to the furnace fl ue. However, the NFGC states that
alternative vent products may be attached according to
the vent manufacturers instructions.
• When an existing furnace is removed from a vent system
serving other appliances, the existing vent system
may no longer be sized to properly vent the remaining
appliances. An improperly sized venting system can
result in the formation of condensate, leakage, or
spillage. The existing vent system should also be
checked to make sure it remains in compliance with
the National Fuel Gas Code. If it isn’t, the vent system
must be brought into compliance before installing the
furnace.
Horizontal Venting
WARNING:
Horizontal vent systems must be sealed with
a high temperature sealant that can withstand
temperatures of 450° F. Recommended sealants:
Dow Corning Sealant 736 RTV; GE 106 RTV;
High Tech Ind., High TEMP RED.
This furnace is not approved for horizontal venting
without the use of an add-on power venter. Power venters
establish negative pressure in the vent piping and the
furnace operates as if connected to a Category I vertical
vent. The power venter is only for use when exhausting
through an exterior wall.
The power venter must be installed according to the
instructions provided by the power venter manufacturer
and applicable requirements of local codes. For Canadian
installations please refer to the Canadian Installation Code
(CAN/CGA-B149.1 or 2) and/or local codes.
The outlet of the vent must be at least 12 inches above
the highest expected snow accumulation.
Flexible Vent Systems
Flexible venting systems are approved for use providing
they are listed for the application and meet all local Code
requirements. These systems are primarily used to line
existing masonry chimneys. They must be sized to the
application according to the sizing tables in the National
Fuel Gas Code, including the required 20% reduction in
maximum capacity.
Flexible venting systems are permitted to be used as the
vent connector. However, great care must be taken to
ensure that there are no sags in the venting system which
could accumulate condensate. The fl exible vent system
must be supported at no more than 5 foot intervals and
maintain a minimum slope of ¼ inch per foot of horizontal
run.

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.
Plenums and 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 5 - 7 (pages 29 - 32) 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 manner 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 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 20, page 28) 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 casing.
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 and 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 20) must be installed for left or right
return air. NOTE: Do not use the back of the furnace
for return air.
Side Return Installations
To attach the return air duct to the left or right side of the
furnace, punch out the four knockouts (Figure 20) from
the preferred side of the furnace. Using sharp metal
11
Page 12
cutters, cut an opening between all four knockouts to
expose the blower assembly. Position the return air duct
over the opening in the side and secure together with
sheet metal screws. The screws must penetrate the duct
and furnace casing.
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 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 20) must be removed from the
bottom of the furnace for bottom return air. If bottom panel
is still installed, go to page 14 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 casing.
Downfl ow Furnaces
To attach the return air duct to the furnace, bend the
furnace fl anges (Figure 20) 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.
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.

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.
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.
High Altitude Application
High altitude conversion with this furnace depends on the
installation altitude and the heating value of the gas. 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.
To derate the furnace 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,
especially in high altitude areas, the local gas utility
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 12 and 13 (page 40) contain the orifi ce
sizes and manifold pressure to use at various altitudes.
Table 12 (HIGH) is for natural gas installations with a
heating value of more than 1,000 Btu per cubic foot and
Table 13 (LOW) is for less than 1,000 Btu per cubic foot.
To determine which table to use:
1. Consult the local utility for the local heating value at
your installation site.
2. From Table 11 (page 39), 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 12
or if it’s LOW, use Table 13.
Type of Gas: ........................................... Natural Gas
Local Heating Value of Gas: ..............................750
From Table 11, fi nd 750 and follow down the column,
stop at the 5,000 feet row. The heating value listed is
LOW. Table 13 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 22).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Observe the action of the burners
to make sure there is no yellowing, lifting or fl ashback
of the fl ame.
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

supplied conversion kit. Failure to use the
proper conversion kit can cause fi re, explosion,
property damage, carbon monoxide poisoning,
personal injury, or death.
Conversion to LP / Propane is detailed in the installation
instructions provided with the conversion kit. Generally,
this will require the replacement of the burner orifi ces
and the spring/stem assembly in the pressure regulator.
In the U.S. if installation is above 2,000 ft., refer to Table
10 (page 39) to determine the correct orifi ce size and
regulator pressure. See example below.

• The thermostat must be installed according to the
instructions supplied by the thermostat manufacturer.
Low voltage connections (24 VAC) from the thermostat
are wired to the terminal strip on the integrated control
in the furnace. Recommended minimum wire gauge for
thermostat wiring is shown in Table 2.
• The thermostat should be mounted about 5 feet
above the fl oor on an inside wall. DO NOT install the
thermostat on an outside wall or any other location
where its operation may be adversely affected by radiant
heat from fi replaces, sunlight, or lighting fi xtures, and
convective heat from warm air registers or electrical
appliances. Refer to the thermostat manufacturer’s
instruction sheet for detailed mounting information.
• Depending on the type of air conditioning unit and
thermostat used, both blower applications utilize three
basic wiring confi gurations:
Single Stage AC & Single Stage Thermostat
This option does not use the full two-stage control
capability of the furnace, but the possibility of timed
autostaging is available. See also Autostaging for Single
Stage Thermostats:
• Connect the thermostat’s W output to the furnace
control boards W1 terminal. This allows the furnace to
always run in low output mode. See Figure 15.
• Always connect the thermostat C & R to the furnace
control board C & R.
• For cooling, connect the thermostat’s Y signal to the
furnace control board’s Y / Y2 terminal.
• Field supplied wires should also connect Y / Y2 & C to
the outdoor unit’s Y & C terminals.

Autostaging for Single Stage Thermostats
The Autostaging feature included on all G7 2-stage
furnaces make 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 15
and the Low Voltage Wiring section (page 19).
Autostaging options are selected using the autostage
jumper located near the thermostat terminal block. See
Figure 23 (page 33). When the autostage jumper is moved
from NONE to SHORT or LONG, the following occurs
during a call for heat:
Page 21
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
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
23, page 33) 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 21 & 22, page 33)
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.
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 21,
page 33) controls the torque and the variable speed motor
control board (Figure 22,) controls the airfl ow at a constant
CFM. Both boards use the same furnace control board.
Fixed Speed Blowers
NOTE: This section applies only to furnaces with model
numbers suffi xed with two numbers, followed by a letter,
such as 35C1 or 45D1. If your model has suffi x VA1, VB1,
VC1, or VD1, please consult the Variable Speed Blower
Application section.
The fi xed speed motor control board (Figure 21) 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, refer to
Table 5 (pages 29 - 30).
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.
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. See
Figure 18.
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.
3. If a humidistat is not available, it is an acceptable option
to connect the R & DHUM terminals on the motor
Variable Speed Blowers
NOTE: This section applies only to models ending with
the suffi xes VA1, VB1, VC1, or VD1.
The variable speed motor control board (Figure 22) has a
set of dip switches for setting the base blower speed (CFM).
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
6 (page 31) for heating or Table 7 (page 32) for cooling.
21
Page 22
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 21)
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 twostage applications. The only two-stage fi eld
connection to this board is the DHUM terminal,
used to reduce 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 15 - 17 (page 20).
Verify the gas line service pressure does not exceed
10.0 inches of W.C., 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 red button to reset a switch. DO
NOT install a jumper wire across a switch to defeat
its function. If a switch reopens on startup, 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 23.
5. After 5 minutes of operation, set the thermostat below
room temperature and verify steps 11 - 12 of the
Operating Sequence (page 24).
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 8 (page 38).
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 fi ring rate in Btuh. See example.
Example:
• Time for 1 revolution of a gas meter with a 1 cubic ft
dial = 40 seconds.
• From Table 8 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 10 (page
39) for Propane or Tables 12 or 13 (page 40) for
Natural Gas.
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 (Figure 19) on the side
of the regulator to adjust the full input setting.
HI Input
Adjusting Screw
Lo Input
Adjusting Screw
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
22
Figure 19. HI & LO Input Adjusting Screws
Page 23
NOTE: Turning the adjusting screw clockwise
increases the pressure and counterclockwise
reduces the pressure.
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.
WARNING:
To prevent electric shock, personal injury, or
death, disconnect the electric power before
performing any maintenance.
1. 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.
2. Adjust all registers and duct dampers to the desired
position and run the furnace in high fi re for 10 to 15
minutes before taking any temperature readings. The
temperature rise is the difference between the supply
and return air temperatures.
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 ther mostat 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 14, page 19) , (Figures 15 - 17,
page 22), & (Figures 24 - 27, pages 34 - 37).
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,
cooling, and fan speed selection is made by moving the
switches on the integrated control inside 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 ther mostat 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 fl ame characteristics, change thermostat
setting to below room temperature.
4. Verify burner fl ame is completely extinguished.
5. Replace the burner compartment door.
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 .
23
Page 24
Autostage times are either SHORT (8 minutes), LONG
(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 de-energized
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 ter minal 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.
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

Page 25
• 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 28 (page 41) for component location.

system, and the 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.
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 28 (page 41). 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.
Flame Sensor: Verifi es when a fl ame has carried over
from the igniter to the opposite end burner. If no fl ame is
detected, the furnace will shut down within 4 seconds.
Flame Roll-Out Switch: Verifi es that the burner fl ames
are drawn into the heat exchanger tubes. If the burner
fl ames are not properly drawn into the heat exchanger, the
fl ame roll-out switch will close the gas valve and initiate
the shutdown cycle.
Gas Valve: Controls the fl ow of gas to the burners. When
the gas valve is energized it automatically opens and
regulates the gas pressure in the manifold.
Inducer Assembly: Vents products of combustion to
the outside.
Pressure Switch: Verifi es that the inducer is drawing
the combustion gases through the heat exchanger. The
pressure switch prevents furnace operation with excessive
fl ue blockage or improper inducer operation.
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 vent pipe and/or chimney 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.
Supply Air Limit Switch: Prevents the air temperature
leaving the furnace from exceeding the maximum allowable
outlet air temperature.
