IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT EFFICIENCY AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Central cooling and heating equipment is only as efficient as the duct system that carries the cooled or heated air. To maintain efficiency, comfort and good indoor air quality, it is important to have the proper balance between the air being supplied to each room and the air returning to the cooling and heating equipment.

Proper balance and sealing of the duct system improves the efficiency of the heating and air conditioning system and improves the indoor air quality of the home by reducing the amount of airborne pollutants that enter homes from spaces where the ductwork and/or equipment is located. The manufacturer and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star Program recommend that central duct systems be checked by a qualified contractor for proper balance and sealing.

WARNING

DUCT LEAKS CAN CREATE AN UNBALANCED SYSTEM AND DRAW POLLUTANTS SUCH AS DIRT, DUST, FUMES AND ODORS INTO THE HOME CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE. FUMES AND ODORS FROM TOXIC, VOLATILE OR FLAMMABLE CHEMICALS, AS WELL AS AUTOMOBILE EXHAUST AND CARBON MONOXIDE (CO), CAN BE DRAWN INTO THE LIVING SPACE THROUGH LEAKING DUCTS AND UNBALANCED DUCT SYSTEMS CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH (SEE FIGURE

3).

• IF AIR-MOVING EQUIPMENT OR DUCTWORK IS LOCATED IN GARAGES OR OFF-GARAGE STORAGE AREAS - ALL JOINTS, SEAMS, AND OPENINGS IN THE EQUIPMENT AND DUCT MUST BE SEALED TO LIMIT THE MIGRATION OF TOXIC FUMES AND ODORS INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE FROM MIGRATING INTO THE LIVING SPACE.

• IF AIR-MOVING EQUIPMENT OR DUCTWORK IS LOCATED IN SPACES CONTAINING FUEL BURNING APPLIANCES SUCH AS WATER HEATERS OR BOILERS - ALL JOINTS, SEAMS, AND OPENINGS IN THE EQUIPMENT AND DUCT MUST ALSO BE SEALED TO PREVENT DEPRESSURIZATION OF THE SPACE AND POSSIBLE MIGRATION OF COMBUSTION BYPRODUCTS INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE INTO THE LIVING SPACE.

SOME OF THESE CONTAMINANTS ARE FOUND IN, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PANELING, DRY WALL, ADHESIVES, PAINTS, STAINES, VARNISHES, SEALERS, AND MASONRY CLEANING MATERIALS.

WARNING

DO NOT INSTALL THIS FURNACE

IN A MOBILE HOME!! This furnace

is not approved for installation in a mobile home. Doing so could cause

FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

WARNING

WHEN THIS FURNACE IS INSTALLED IN A RESIDENTIAL GARAGE, IT MUST BE INSTALLED SO THE BURNERS AND IGNITION SOURCE ARE LOCATED NO LESS THAN 18 INCHES ABOVE THE FLOOR. THIS IS TO PREVENT THE RISK OF IGNITING FLAMMABLE VAPORS WHICH MAY BE PRESENT IN A GARAGE. ALSO, THE FURNACE MUST BE LOCATED OR PROTECTED TO AVOID PHYSICAL DAMAGE BY VEHICLES. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

1. IMPORTANT: If installing the unit over a finished ceiling or living area, be certain to install an auxiliary condensate drain pan under the entire unit. This auxiliary drain pan should extend under any evaporator coil installed with the furnace and the open portion of the condensate drain assembly. See “CondensateDrain/Neutralizer” section for more details.

2. IMPORTANT: If using a cooling evaporator coil with this furnace:

a. be sure the air passes over

the heat exchanger before passing over the cooling coil. The cooled air passing over the warm ambient air inside the heat exchanger tubes can cause condensationinside the tubes resulting in corrosion and eventual failure.

b. install a parallel duct system

to divert all the air from the furnace allowing it to pass over the cooling coil only. Use dampers or other means to prevent chilled air from passing over the heat exchanger.

If these are manual dampers, they must be equipped to prevent heating or cooling operation unless the damper is in the full heat or cool position.

VENTING AND COMBUSTION AIR PIPING

VENTING AND COMBUSTION AIR PIPING*

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS SECTION. FAILURE TO PROPERLY VENT THIS FURNACE CAN CAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING OR AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

This furnace removes both sensible and latent heat from the combustion flue gases. Removal of latent heat results in condensation of flue gas water vapor. This condensed water vapor drains from the secondary heat exchanger and out of the unit into a drain trap.

When installed as a non-direct vent furnace, only exhaust piping is required and inside combustion air may be used. Refer to section on “

COMBUSTION & VENTILATION AIR

FOR FURNACE INSTALLATIONS.” Direct vent installationsrequire a

dedicated combustion air and venting system. All air for combustion is taken from the outside atmosphere and all combustion products are discharged to the outdoors.

WARNING

OVERTEMPERATURE SAFETY SWITCHES

Furnaces are equipped with safety switches in the control compartment to protect against overtemperature conditions caused by inadequate combustion air supply. The switches for the upflow and downflow models are located in the burner compartment.If a switch is tripped it must be manually reset.

WARNING

DO NOT JUMPER THESE DEVICES! IF ONE OF THESE SWITCHES SHOULD TRIP, A QUALIFIED INSTALLER, SERVICE AGENCY OR THE GAS SUPPLIER MUST BE CALLED TO CHECK AND/OR CORRECT FOR ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY. DO NOT RESET THE SWITCHES WITHOUT TAKING CORRECTIVE ACTION TO ASSURE THAT AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF COMBUSTION AIR IS MAINTAINED UNDER ALL CONDITIONS OF OPERATION. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING OR DEATH. IF THIS UNIT IS MOUNTED IN A CLOSET, THE DOOR MUST BE CLOSED WHEN MAKING THIS CHECK.

REPLACE THESE SWITCHES ONLY WITH THE IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PART.

EXISTING VENT SYSTEMS*

*In Canada see ULC-S636 requirements.

When the installation of this furnace replaces an existing furnace that is removed from a vent system serving other appliances, the vent system is likely to be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances.

The following steps should be followed with each appliance remaining connected to the original common vent system. Place the appliance to be tested in operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common vent system are not in operation. Test the operation of each appliance individuallyby the following method.

1. Permanently seal any unused openings in the common venting system.

2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine that there is no blockage, restriction,leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

3. If practical, close all building doors, windows and all doors between the space where the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range

hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.

4. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance being inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat so the appliance will operate continuously.

5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.

6. After it has been determined that each appliance that remains connected to the common venting system properly vents (when tested as outlined above), return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas-burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.

7. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the common venting system must be resized. See vent tables in these instructions

Whenthefurnace is installed in the samespacewith other gas appliances suchas a water heater,besurethere is an adequatesupply of combustion andventilation air for theother appliances. Do not delete or reduce thecombustionairsupply required by theothergasappliancesinthisspace. SeeZ223.1, National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA54)for determiningthe combustionairrequirements for gas appliances. An unconfined space must haveat least50 cubicfeet(volume)for each1,000BTUH of thetotalinput of allappliancesin the space.Ifthe open spacecontaining the appliances is in a buildingwithtightconstruction (contemporaryconstruction),outside airmay stillbe required for the appliancestoburnandventproperly. Outside air openings shouldbe sized thesameas for a confined space.

JOINING PIPE AND FITTINGS

WARNING

PVC SOLVENT CEMENTS AND PRIMERS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. PROVIDE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND DO NOT ASSEMBLE NEAR HEAT SOURCE OR AN OPEN FLAME. DO NOT SMOKE. AVOID SKIN OR EYE CONTACT. OBSERVE ALL CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS PRINTED ON MATERIAL CONTAINERS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES MAY RESULT IN FIRE, EXPLOSION OR ASPHYXIATION CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

All pipe, fittings,solventcement, primersand procedures must conform to American NationalStandard Institute and AmericanSociety for Testingand Materials(ANSI/ASTM) standards in the U.S.

Pipe and Fittings - ASTM-D1785, D2466, D2665, D2231, D2661 and F628.

PVC Primer and Solvent Cement ASTM-D2564

ABS Pipe and Fittings - Use ABS Primer and Solvent Cement D2235

Procedure for Cementing Joints ASTM-D2855

IMPORTANT: The plastic combustion air and venting components are of PVC. If using ABS piping, ensure that the solvent cement is compatible for joining PVC to ABS components or use a mechanical connection that can withstand the vent temperatures and are corrosion resistant.

CEMENTING JOINTS

Properly seal all joints in the PVC vent using the following materials and procedures.

PVC CLEANER-PRIMER AND PVC MEDIUM-BODY SOLVENT CEMENT

IMPORTANT: After cutting pipe,

remove all ragged edges and burrs. This is important to prevent reduction in pressure drop throughout the system.

1. Cut pipe end square. Chamfer edge of pipe. Clean fitting socket and pipe joint area of all dirt, grease and moisture.

2. After checking pipe and socket for proper fit, wipe socket and pipe with cleaner-primer.Apply a liberal coat of primer to inside surface of socket and outside of pipe. Read instructions included with the primer for proper application.

3. Apply a thin coat of cement evenly in the socket. Quickly apply a heavy coat of cement to the pipe end and insert pipe into fitting with a slight twisting movement until it bottoms out.

NOTE: Cement must be fluid; if not, recoat.

4. Hold the pipe in the fitting for 30 seconds to prevent the tapered socket from pushing the pipe out of the fitting.

5. Wipe all excess cement from the joint with a rag. Allow 15 minutes before handling. Cure time varies according to fit, temperature and humidity.

NOTE: Stir the solvent cement frequently while using. Use a natural bristle brush or the dauber supplied with the can. The proper brush size is one inch.

IMPORTANT: For Proper Installation

DO NOT use solvent cement that has become curdled, lumpy or thickened.

DO NOT thin. Observe shelf precautionsprinted on containers.

For application below 32°F, use only low-temperature-type solvent cement.

COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR

NON-DIRECT FURNACE INSTALLATIONS

WARNING

THE FURNACE AND ANY OTHER FUEL-BURNING APPLIANCE MUST BE PROVIDED WITH ENOUGH FRESH AIR FOR PROPER COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION OF THE FLUE GASES. MOST HOMES WILL REQUIRE THAT OUTSIDE AIR BE SUPPLIED INTO THE FURNACE AREA. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH FROM CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.

Adequate facilities for providing air for combustion and ventilation must be provided in accordance with section

5.3, “Air for Combustion and Ventilation”of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition) or applicable provisions for the local building codes, and not obstructed so as to prevent the flow of air to the furnace.

IMPORTANT: Air for combustion and ventilationmust not come from a corrosive atmosphere. Any failure due to corrosive elements in the atmosphere is excluded from warranty coverage.

The following types of installation (but not limited to the following) will require OUTDOOR AIR for combustion,due to chemical exposures:

• Commercial buildings

• Buildings with indoor pools

• Furnaces installed in laundry rooms

• Furnaces in hobby or craft rooms

• Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas.

Exposure to the following substances in the combustion air supply (but not limited to the following) will also require OUTDOOR AIR for combustion:

• Permanent wave solutions

• Chlorinatedwaxes and cleaners

• Chlorine-basedswimming 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.

• Hydrochloricacid

• Cements and glues

• Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers

• Masonry curing and acid washing materials

Combustion air must be free of acidforming chemicals such as sulphur, fluorine and chlorine. These elements are found in aerosol sprays, detergents,bleaches, cleaning solvents, air fresheners,paint and varnish removers, refrigerants and many other commercial and household products. When burned in a gas flame, vapors from these products form acid compounds. The acid compounds increase the dew point temperature of the flue products and are highly corrosive after they condense.

WARNING

ALL FURNACE INSTALLATIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE AND LOCAL CODES TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR FOR THE FURNACE. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN EXPLOSION, FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

Combustion air requirements are determined by whether the furnace is in an open (unconfined) area or in a confined space such as a closet or small room.

EXAMPLE 1: FURNACE LOCATED IN AN UNCONFINED SPACE

Using indoor air for combustion.

An unconfined space must have at least 50 cubic feet for each 1,000 BTUH of the total input for all appliances in the space. Here are a few examples of the room sizes required for different inputs. The sizes are based on 8-foot ceilings.

BTUH Minimum Sq. Feet Typical Room Size

Input With 8' Ceiling With 8' Ceiling

45,000 281 14' x 20' OR 16' x 18'

60,000 375 15' x 25' OR 19' x 20'

75,000 469 15' x 31' OR 20' x 24'

90,000 563 20’ x 28’ OR 24’ x 24’

105,000 657 20' x 33' OR 26' x 25'

If the open space containing the furnace is in a building with tight construction,outside air may still be required for the furnace to operate and vent properly. Outside air openings should be sized the same as for a confined space.

EXAMPLE 2: FURNACE LOCATED IN A CONFINED SPACE

A confined space (any space smaller than shown above as “unconfined”) must have openings into the space which are located in accordance with the requirements set forth in the following subsections A and B. Size the openings by how they are connected to the heated area or to the outside, and by the input of all appliances in the space.

If confined space is within a building with tight construction, combustion air must be taken from outdoors or area freely communicating with the outdoors.

A. USING INDOOR AIR FOR

COMBUSTION IMPORTANT: Air should not be

taken from a heated space with a fireplace, exhaust fan or other device that may produce a negative pressure.

If combustion air is taken from the heated area, the openings must each have at least 100 square inches of free area. Each opening must have at least one square inch of free area for each 1,000 BTUH of total input in the space. Here are some examples of typical openings required.
