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 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.

!
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.

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 “Condensate Drain/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 condensation inside the tubes resulting in corrosion and eventual failure.
or
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.
3. IMPORTANT: Install the furnace level. If it is not level, condensate cannot drain properly, possibly causing furnace shut down.
NOTE: These furnaces are approved for installation in attics, as well as alcoves, utility rooms, closets and crawlspaces. Provisions must be made to prevent freezing of condensate.
4. IMPORTANT: If this furnace is installed in a garage, attic and/or any unconditioned space, install a self-regulating heat tape around the condensate trap and along the entire length of the condensate drain in the unconditioned space. When the condensing horizontal gas furnace is installed in an unconditioned space where the temperature would be capable of reaching close to or below 32°F

DUCTING
Proper air flow is required for the correct operation of this furnace. Too little air flow can cause erratic operation and can damage the heat exchanger. The duct system must carry the correct amount of air for heating and cooling if summer air conditioning is used.
WARNING
!
SOME HEATING AIRFLOW VALUES MAY BE HIGHER THAN THOSE REQUIRED FOR COOLING. BE SURE TO SIZE DUCT FOR THE MAXIMUM POSSIBLE AIRFLOW VALUE.
Size the ducts according to acceptable industry standards and methods. The total static pressure drop of the air distribution system should not exceed 0.5" w.c.
WARNING
!
NEVER ALLOW THE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION FROM THE FLUE TO ENTER THE RETURN AIR DUCTWORK OR THE CIRCULATED AIR SUPPLY. ALL RETURN DUCTWORK MUST BE ADEQUATELY SEALED AND SECURED TO THE FURNACE WITH SHEET METAL SCREWS; AND JOINTS, TAPED. ALL OTHER DUCT JOINTS MUST BE SECURED WITH APPROVED CONNECTIONS AND SEALED AIRTIGHT. WHEN AN UPFLOW FURNACE IS MOUNTED ON A PLATFORM WITH RETURN THROUGH THE BOTTOM, IT MUST BE SEALED AIRTIGHT BETWEEN THE FURNACE AND THE RETURN AIR PLENUM. THE FLOOR OR PLATFORM MUST PROVIDE SOUND PHYSICAL SUPPORT OF THE FURNACE WITHOUT SAGGING, CRACKS, OR GAPS, AROUND THE BASE, PROVIDING A SEAL BETWEEN THE SUPPORT AND THE BASE.
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.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CONNECT RETURN OR SUPPLY DUCTWORK TO OR FROM ANY OTHER HEAT PRODUCING DEVICE SUCH AS A FIREPLACE INSERT, STOVE, ETC. DOING SO MAY RESULT IN FIRE, CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, EXPLOSION, PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

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 installations require 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.
The combustion air and vent pipe fittings must conform to American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) standards D1785 (Schedule 40 PVC), D2665 (PVC-DWV), D2241 (SDR-21 and SDR26-26 PVC), D2661 (ABS-DWV) or F628 (Schedule 40 ABS-DWV).
WARNING
!
IN CANADA, PRODUCTS CERTIFIED FOR INSTALLATION AND INTENDED TO BE VENTED WITH PLASTIC VENT SYSTEMS (PVC, CPVC) MUST USE VENT SYSTEMS THAT ARE CERTIFIED TO THE STANDARD FOR TYPE BH GAS VENTING SYSTEMS, ULC S636.
THE COMPONENTS OF THE CERTIFIED MATERIAL MUST NOT BE INTERCHANGED WITH OTHER VENT SYSTEMS OR UNLISTED PIPE/FITTINGS.
PLASTIC COMPONENTS AND SPECIFIED PRIMERS AND GLUES OF THE CERTIFIED SYSTEM MUST BE FROM A SINGLE SYSTEM MANUFACTURER AND NOT INTERMIXED WITH OTHER SYSTEM MANUFACTURER’S PARTS.
NOTE: INLET AIR PIPING IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE A PART OF THE “VENTING SYSTEM”. THE
REQUIREMENT THAT VENT MATERIAL BE CERTIFIED TO ULC S636 DOES NOT APPLY TO INLET AIR PIPING.
IMPORTANT: The plastic combustion
air and venting components are of Schedule 40 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 is corrosion resistant.
NOTE: Schedule 40 ABS-DWV pipe and fittings may be used as an alternate to PVC pipe for the combustion air inlet and vent pipes.
NOTE: Cellular core PVC is also approved for use. It must be schedule 40PVC-DWV cellular pipe for non­pressure applications and manufactured under ASTM F-891.
NOTE: With the furnace correctly vented, the inducer will move approximately 25 cfm per 100,000 Btu’s.
IMPORTANT: No part of the combustion air and vent pipes may run under ground.
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 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
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 individually by 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.
16
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.
When the furnace is installed in the same space with other gas appliances such as a water heater, be sure there is an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air for the other appliances. Do not delete or reduce the combustion air supply required by the other gas appliances in this space. See Z223.1, National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA54) for determining the combustion air requirements for gas appliances. An unconfined space must have at least 50 cubic feet (volume) for each 1,000 BTUH of the total input of all appliances in the space. If the open space containing the appliances is in a building with tight construction (contemporary construction), outside air may still be required for the appliances to burn and vent properly. Outside air openings should be sized the same as for a confined space.
IMPORTANT: Only the current vent instructions apply. All 90 Plus Gas Furnaces cannot be common vented.
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, solvent cement, primers and procedures must conform to American National Standard Institute and American Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) standards as shown below:
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 precautions printed 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 ventilation must 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
• 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 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 thetotal 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'
120,000 750 25' x 30' OR 24' x 32'
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.

VENT PIPE INSTALLATION
NON-DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION
GUIDELINES
IMPORTANT: Failure to correctly follow all venting guidelines may result in erratic furnace operation, freeze-up of combustion air or exhaust air piping or sooting of the furnace.
All exhaust piping must be installed in compliance with Part 7, “Venting of Equipment,” of the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NPFA54/ ANSI Z223.1-, local codes or ordinances and these instructions.
1. Vertical piping is preferred.
2. All horizontal piping must slope upward a minimum of foot of run so that condensate drains toward the furnace.
3. All horizontal runs must be supported at least every 4 feet. No sags or dips are permitted.
4. IMPORTANT: Do not common vent with any other appliance. Do not install in the same chase or chimney with a metal or high temperature plastic pipe from another gas or fuel­burning appliance unless the required minimum clearances to combustibles are maintained between the pvc pipe and other pipes.
5. All vent runs through unconditioned spaces where below-freezing temperatures are expected should be insulated with 1-in. thick, medium-density, foil-faced fiberglass. An equivalent “arm-a­flex” or “rub-a-tex” insulation may also be used as long as there is no heat tape applied to the vent pipe. For horizontal runs where water may collect, wrap the vent pipe with self­regulating 3 or 5 watt heat tape. The heat tape must be U.L. listed and installed per the manufacturer’s instructions.
6. The minimum vent pipe length is 5 feet with 15” between elbows.
7. Extend the exhaust pipe a minimum of 18”from the cabinet before turning vent.
8. Vent cannot be run underground.

STANDARD INSTALLATIONS
The single-pipe system requires an exhaust pipe only. Combustion air may be taken from the furnace installation area or ducted to the furnace area from the outside.
Size the exhaust pipe as specified in Tables 1 and 2. These tables list the maximum allowable length in feet of the exhaust pipe that may be used for all furnace inputs as related to the number of elbows required and the termination.
Vertical through-the-roof installations do not require a vent termination. Use 2-in. PVC pipe extending a minimum of 12 inches above the anticipated level of snow accumulation. See exhaust pipe requirements, Figure 20. When 3-in. vent pipe is used from furnace to the roof, reduce it to 2 inches before penetrating the roof. A maximum of 18 inches of 2-in. pipe may be used below the roof. Maximum exposed vent length above the roof line is 30”. Total 2” vent length is a maximum of 48”.
Horizontal vent terminations require a 2-in. PVC tee positioned 12 inches from the outside wall. See exhaust pipe requirements, Figures 20 and 21. When 3-in. pipe is used from the furnace to the outside wall, reduce it to 2 inches before penetrating the wall. A maximum of 18 inches of 2-in. pipe may be used inside the wall.
An alternate termination may be used as shown in Figure 16 to clear anticipated snow levels. The tee may be raised up to 24 inches above the wall penetration. Use two long-sweep radius bend, 2-in. PVC elbows and a length of 2-in. PVC pipe so that the elbows are on 24-in. centers.
NOTE: Extend the exhaust a minimum of 18" from the furnace top plate before turning vent.
NON-DIRECT VENT TERMINATION LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Non-direct venting location requirements are slightly different in some cases than direct venting. Install a non-direct vent with the following minimum clearances. See Figure 17.
1. Locate the bottom of the vent
terminal at least 12 inches above grade. Increase the 12-in. minimum to keep the terminal openings above the level of snow accumulation, where applicable.
2. The vent shall not terminate over
public walkways or over an area where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard.
3. 4 feet below, 4 feet horizontally
from, or 1 foot above any door, window soffit, under eave vent or gravity air inlet to the building.
4. The vent terminal shall have a
minimum horizontal clearance of 4 feet from electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment.
5. 6 feet from an inside corner
formed by two exterior walls – 10 feet is the recommended distance.
6. Locate it 3 feet above any forced
air inlet located within 10 feet. Any fresh air or make-up air inlet, such as for a dryer or furnace area, is considered a forced air inlet.
7. Avoid areas where dripping
condensate may cause problems, such as above planters, patios, or adjacent to windows where steam may cause fogging.
FIGURE 16
ALTERNATE HORIZONTAL TERMINATION FOR NON-DIRECT VENT INSTALLATIONS
In addition to the minimum clearances listed above, the vent location should also be governed by the following guidelines.
1. Do not terminate under any kind of patio or deck. If running the vent under a deck, insulate it to insure no condensate freezes and blocks the pipe.
2. Do not locate on the side of a building with prevailing winter winds. This will help prevent moisture from freezing on walls and overhangs (under eaves).
3. Do not extend vent directly through brick or masonry surfaces. Use a rust-resistant sheet metal or plastic backing plate behind vent.
4. Do not locate too close to shrubs as condensate may stunt or kill them.
5. Minimum vertical clearances of 1 foot are recommended for overhangs up to 1 foot horizontal. The vertical clearance should be increased equally for each additional increase in horizontal overhang to a maximum vertical clearance of 6 feet.
6. Caulk all cracks, seams and joints within 6 feet horizontally and above and below vent.
7. Do not terminate in any area that may allow flue gases to stagnate.
CAUTION
!
MOISTURE IN THE COMBUSTION PRODUCTS CONDENSES AS IT LEAVES THE TERMINATION. THIS CONDENSATE CAN FREEZE ON EXTERIOR WALLS, UNDER THE EAVES, AND ON SURROUNDING OBJECTS. SOME DISCOLORATION IS TO BE EXPECTED. HOWEVER, IMPROPER LOCATION OR INSTALLATION CAN CAUSE STRUCTURAL OR EXTERIOR FINISH DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING.

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.
Direct vent installations require 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. Therefore, no
ventilation or combustion air openings are required.
IMPORTANT: The plastic combustion
air and venting components are of Schedule 40 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.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
All exhaust piping must be installed in compliance with Part 7, “Venting of Equipment,” of the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code NPFA54/ ANSI Z223.1-, local codes or ordinances and these instructions.
1. Vertical piping is preferred.
2. All horizontal piping must slope upward a minimum of 1/4 inch per foot of run so that condensate drains toward the furnace.
3. All horizontal runs must be supported at least every 4 feet. No sags or dips are permitted.
4. IMPORTANT: Do not common vent with any other appliance. Do not install in the same chase or chimney with a metal or high temperature plastic pipe from another gas or fuel-burning appliance unless the required minimum clearances to combustibles are maintained between the PVC pipe and other pipes. Minimum 3 ft. clearance required between combustion air inlet and any other exhaust.
5. For horizontal runs where water may collect, wrap the vent pipe with self-regulating 3 or 5 watt heat tape. The heat tape must be U.L. listed and installed per the manufacturer’s instructions.
6. The minimum, pipe length is 5 feet for combustion air and exhaust.
7. Do not install elbows back to back. Allow at least 15” between elbows.
Size the exhaust and combustion air intake pipes as specified in Tables 3 and 4. These tables list the maximum

COMBUSTION AIR FOR DIRECT VENT INSTALLATIONS
THE COMBUSTION AIR SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR THIS FURNACE MUST BE USED.
When this furnace is installed as a direct vent forced air furnace, all combustion air is supplied directly to the burner through a special air inlet system outlined in these instructions. This system consists of field-supplied Schedule 40 or 26 SDR-PVC pipe and one of the following horizontal vent termination kits: RXGY­D02/D02A, RXGY-D03/D03A, RXGY­D04/D04A, or RXGY-E03A. Kits ending with an “A” meet Canadian ULC-5636 requirements.
NOTE: Schedule 40 ABS-DWV pipe and fittings may be used as an alternate to PVC pipe for the combustion air inlet and vent pipes.
The combustion air for this furnace is supplied directly from the outdoors through the combustion air inlet system.
When the furnace is installed in the same space with other gas appliances, such as a water heater, be sure there is an adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air for the other appliances. Do not delete or reduce the combustion air supply required by the other gas appliances in this space. See Z223.1, National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA54) for deter­mining the combustion air requirements for gas appliances. An unconfined space must have at least 50 cubic feet (volume) for each 1,000 BTUH of the total input of all appliances in the space. If the open space containing the appliances is in a building with tight construction (contemporary construction), outside air may still be required for the appliances to burn and vent properly. Outside air openings should be sized the same as for a confined space.
STANDARD TERMINATIONS
STANDARD VERTICAL TERMINATIONS
COMBUSTION AIR PIPING Use two medium-radius sweep
elbows to keep the inlet downward to prevent entry of rain. See Figure 20 for the proper relationship of combustion air to exhaust termination.
STANDARD HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS
COMBUSTION AIR PIPING When 3-in. pipe is used between the
furnace and outside wall, reduce it to 2 inches before penetrating the wall. Up to 18 inches of 2-in. pipe may be used inside the wall.
The standard horizontal intake air termination for all models is a 2-in. PVC coupling with a wind deflector vane (provided) attached. Cut a
1
/4-in. length of 2-in. PVC pipe.
2 Connect this pipe and another 2-in. PVC coupling to the coupling at the wall. The outer coupling must terminate 4 inches from the wall.
IMPORTANT: To ensure proper furnace operation, the supplied vane must be installed in the vertical position with PVC solvent as shown in Figure 21, Detail B.
The combustion air inlet terminal must be located with respect to the exhaust terminal as shown in Figure 21, Detail C.
IMPORTANT: All furnaces with horizontal air intakes, except those using concentric vent kit RXGY­E03/E03A, must have a drain tee assembly and trap installed as close to the furnace as possible. This is to drain any water that may be in the combustion air pipe to prevent it from entering the furnace combustion chamber.
These parts are included in kits RXGY-D02/D02A (for 2-in. pipe), RXGY-D03/D03A (for 3-in. pipe) and RXGY-D04/D04A (special for the 120,000 BTU furnace installed with the alternate horizontal termination). Attach the trap to the bottom of the tee with PVC solvent. Connect the other end to a suitable drain, as to the downstream of a condensate trap on the furnace.
STANDARD VERTICAL TERMINATIONS
EXHAUST VENT PIPING Vertical through-the-roof vent
applications do not require an exhaust terminal. The exhaust vent must terminate at least 12 inches above the combustion intake air termination. The exhaust vent for models with inputs of 45,000 through 120,000 BTUH is 2-in. PVC pipe 120,000 BTUH models with excessively long runs require 2
1
/2”. Refer to Tables 3 and 4 for proper application. This must be reduced to 1
1
/2“ the last 12 inches for models with inputs of 45,000 through 75,000 BTUH. See Figure 20.
STANDARD HORIZONTAL TERMINATIONS
EXHAUST PIPING
For direct vent systems the standard termination is 2-in. PVC pipe extending 12 inches from the wall for furnaces with inputs from 105,000 to 120,000 BTUH. Install a 2-in. coupling at the outside wall to prevent the termination from being pushed inward. When 3-in. pipe is used between the furnace and outside wall, reduce to 2 inches before penetrating the wall. The standard termination is 2 in. PVC pipe extending outward 12 inches from the wall. See Figure 20, Detail A.
The combustion air and exhaust terminations must be at least 12 inches above grade and must be oriented with respect to each other as shown in Figure 21, Detail B. Refer to section on alternate venting options when higher snow levels are anticipated.
ALTERNATE TERMINATIONS
ALTERNATE HORIZONTAL DIRECT VENT TERMINATIONS
RXGY-D02/D02A, -D03/D03A AND ­D04/D04A
The exhaust termination may be raised a maximum of 60 inches above the wall penetration to maintain the required 12 inch clearance above grade or snow level. See Figure 18. Size the pipe length according to Tables 3 and 4.
Review the following guidelines:
• Size the entire vent system
according to the alternate, not standard, termination shown in Tables 3 and 4.
25
• Insulate the entire length of vent pipe, between the elbow where the pipe exits the wall and the elbow where the termination is made, with a closed-cell insulation, such as “Arm-a-Flex” or “Rub-a-Tex” with a minimum of 1/2” thickness.
• All elbows installed on the exterior of the building must be of the long sweep nature.
• As required for the horizontal piping ran within the structure, any pipe ran horizontal outside the structure must slope upward a minimum of 1/4” per foot run so that condensate drains toward the furnace.
From the top elbow in the exhaust pipe, extend a length of PVC pipe outward so that it terminates exactly 12 inches from the wall. See Figure
18.

CAUTION
!
THE COMBUSTION PRODUCTS AND MOISTURE IN THE FLUE GASES WILL CONDENSE AS THEY LEAVE THE TERMINATION. THE CONDENSATE CAN FREEZE ON THE EXTERIOR WALL, UNDER THE EAVES AND ON SURROUNDING OBJECTS. SOME DISCOLORATION TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING IS TO BE EXPECTED. HOWEVER, IMPROPER LOCATION OR INSTALLATION CAN RESULT IN STRUCTURAL OR EXTERIOR FINISH DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING AND MAY RECIRCULATE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION INTO THE COMBUSTION AIR TERMINAL AND FREEZE.
The vent must be installed with the following minimum clearances. See Figures 22 and 23.
1. The bottom of the vent terminal and the air inlet shall be located at least 12 inches above grade. Increase the 12-in. minimum to keep the terminal openings above the level of snow accumulation, where applicable.
2. The vent shall not terminate over public walkways or over an area where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or hazard.
3. The vent terminal shall be located at least one foot from any opening through which flue gases could enter a building.
4. The vent terminal shall be at least 3 feet above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet, except the combustion air inlet of a direct vent appliance.
5. The vent terminal shall have a minimum horizontal clearance of 4 feet from electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment.
6. Locate the furnace combustion air inlet minimum of 3 feet from the vent of any other gas or fuel burning appliance or clothes dryer to prevent recirculation of the flue gases into the furnace combustion air inlet. The only exception to this requirement is the case of multiventing two or more furnaces, which is covered in the section on multiventing in these instructions.
In addition to the minimum clearances listed above, the vent location should also be governed by the following guidelines.
1. Do not terminate under any
kind of patio or deck. If running the vent under a deck, insulate it to insure no condensate freezes and blocks the pipe.
2. Do not terminate behind any area that may allow the flue products to become stagnant and recirculate.
3. Do not locate on the side of a building with prevailing winter winds. This will help prevent moisture from freezing on walls and overhangs (under eaves).
4. Do not extend vent directly through brick or masonry surfaces. Use a rust-resistant sheet metal or plastic backing plate behind vent.
FIGURE 22
MOISTURE ZONES
5. Do not locate too close to shrubs as condensate may stunt or kill them.
6. Minimum vertical clearances of 1 foot are recommended for overhangs up to 1 foot horizontal. The vertical clearance should be increased equally for each additional increase in horizontal overhang to a maximum vertical clearance of 6 feet.
7. Caulk all cracks, seams and joints within 6 feet horizontally and above and below vent.
8. Painted surfaces must be sound and in good condition with no cracking, peeling, etc. Painted surfaces will require maintenance.
9. Do not expose 3" x 2" reducer/ bushing to outdoor ambient temperatures.

CONNECTING TO FURNACE
IMPORTANT: Clean and debur all pipe cuts. The shavings must not be allowed to block the exhaust, combustion air or condensate drain pipes.
UPFLOW FURNACE
The exhaust pipe connection is a 2-in. female PVC pipe fitting extending through the left side of the furnace top plate. This opening has a protective cap which should be removed just prior to installing the exhaust pipe. When 2-in. pipe is used, connect it directly to this fitting. When 3-in. pipe is used, connect a 2 to 3-in. coupling to this fitting with a short piece of 2-in. PVC pipe.
The combustion air connection is at the right side of the top plate. An alternate combustion air connection may be made on the right side of the jacket. This opening has a plastic cap. A combustion air connection fitting is supplied with the furnace and it must be installed in the furnace by screwing it into the opening. Make sure the rubber “O-ring” supplied with the furnace is used with this fitting. See Figure 28.
DOWNFLOW/HORIZONTAL FURNACE
The exhaust pipe connection is a 2-in. female PVC pipe fitting extending through the right side of the furnace top cover. This opening has a pro ­tective cap which should be removed just prior to installing the exhaust pipe. When 3-in. pipe is used, connect a 2 to 3-in. coupling to this fitting with a short piece of 2-in. PVC pipe.
The combustion air connection is a 2­in. extruded hole on the left side of the top plate. When a 2-in. pipe is used, attach a 2-in. PVC coupling over this hole with RTV sealant, drill two pilot holes, and add two sheet metal screws through the coupling into the extrusion to secure it in place before piping. When 3-in. pipe is used, connect a 2 to 3-in. coupling to this fitting with a short piece of 2-in. PVC pipe. See Figure 29.

CONDENSATE DRAIN/NEUTRALIZER
GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTION
!
DO NOT RUN DRAIN OUTDOORS. FREEZING OF CONDENSATE CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect into a
common drain line with an air con­ditioner evaporator coil drain. A blocked or restricted drain line can result in over-flow of the coil pan and negate the furnace blocked drain shutoff control.
FILL TRAP ASSEMBLY WITH WATER BEFORE OPERATING THE FURNACE. This can be done by
removing the drain hose from the trap and pouring about a cup of water into the vent trap. Water will flow into the house drain when the trap is full.
If local codes require, install a condensate neutralizer cartridge in the drain line. Install cartridge in horizontal position only. Also install an overflow line if routing to a floor drain. See 29.
If no floor drain is available, install a condensate pump that is resistant to acidic water. Pumps are available from your local distributor. If pump used is not resistant to acidic water, a condensate neutralizer must be used ahead of the pump. The condensate pump must have an auxiliary safety switch to prevent operation of the furnace and resulting overflow of condensate in the event of pump failure. The safety switch must be wired through the “R” circuit only (low voltage) to provide operation in either heating or cooling modes.
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 extending out under the condensate tee.
IMPORTANT: There are two options when choosing a height for the condensate riser: CONDENSATE OVERFLOW: With a 5 inch riser installed above the tee, a blocked drain will result in overflow from the riser. FURNACE SHUTDOWN: To cause the furnace to shut down when a blocked drain is present, install a riser which is a minimum of 10
13
/16“. If the furnace is installed in an attic, crawlspace or other area where freezing temperatures may occur, the furnace drain can freeze while shut off for long periods of time.
FIGURE 30

Use a solvent cement that is compatible with PVC material. Cut the drain hoses to the appropriate length and connect to the trap with hose clamps. Tighten the clamps with pliers and check for leaks after attaching.
IMPORTANT: The inducer drain hose must slant downward away from inducer. If the hose is not slanted, the inducer will fill with water and cause the pressure switch to open, causing nuisance failures or intermittent operation.
NOTE: INDUCER DRAIN HOSE MUST SLANT DOWNWARD AWAY FROM INDUCER.
UPFLOW MODELS
The condensate drain trap is located in the blower compartment on the left­hand side of the jacket. A short piece of
1
/2-in. PVC pipe and a 1/2-in. tee are provided. Connect the 1/2-in. pipe to the elbow on the trap and the tee to this pipe so that the open end is upward. Run a drain tube from the bottom of the tee to a floor drain or condensate pump.
IMPORTANT: The upflow model only has a new drain system. There is a third port on the drain trap (marked by a red cap) for the hose attached to the induced draft motor. Remove plug in inducer drain hose and remove cap off drain trap before connecting inducer drain hose to drain trap. All three hoses MUST be attached during operation of the furnace. Be sure all three hoses are secured to the drain trap using the hose clamps provided in the parts bag.

REVERSING THE TRAP
UPFLOW UNITS
The trap may be moved to the right side for right side drainage. Open the knockout for the drain on the right side of the cabinet. Remove the bracket holding the trap from the left side. Seal the left side drain hole with a plug provided in the cloth bag with the furnace. Position the mounting bracket and trap so that the drain elbow is centered in the hole on the right. See Figure 31.
Drill two mount the bracket. Mount the trap and bracket to the right side with the drain elbow pointing through the knockout. Connect the 1/2-in. pipe and tee as noted above. Route the drain hoses behind the control box, cut to the appropriate length, and connect to the trap with hose clamps. Fill trap with water.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow any sags or kinks in the hoses. This prevents proper condensate flow.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect into a common drain line with an air conditioner evaporator coil drain. A blocked or restricted drain line can result in overflow of the coil pan and negate the furnace blocked drain shutoff control.
DOWNFLOW MODELS IMPORTANT: There are two options
when choosing a height for the condensate riser:
CONDENSATE OVERFLOW: With a 1 a blocked drain will result in overflow from the riser.
FURNACE SHUTDOWN: To cause the furnace to shut down when a blocked drain is present, install a riser which is a minimum of 5 furnace is installed in an attic, crawlspace or other area where freezing temperatures may occur, the furnace drain can freeze while shut off for long periods of time. Provisions must be made to prevent freezing of condensate.
Use a solvent cement that is compatible with PVC material.
To convert downflow models to left­hand drain, a kit ((-)XGY-H01) must be ordered from the distributor. The kit includes a 24” piece of PVC pipe, a 2-9/16” length of black hose, a 2” rubber grommet, a 1-5/8” plug and instructions. Note the location of the alternate drain hole as shown in Figure 33.
To convert to left side drainage, remove the long molded hose from the trap. Remove the double-elbow black molded hose from the trap and exhaust transition and discard. Remove the trap from its mounting bracket, rotate it 180 degrees and mount in place with the drainage elbow pointing to the left. Reattach

WARNING
!
THIS FURNACE IS EQUIPPED AT THE FACTORY FOR USE ON NATURAL GAS ONLY. CONVERSION TO LP GAS REQUIRES A SPECIAL KIT IS AVAILABLE AT THE DISTRIBUTOR. FAILURE TO USE THE PROPER CONVERSION KIT CAN CAUSE FIRE, CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, EXPLOSION, PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH. See the conversion kit index supplied with the furnace. This index identifies the proper LP Gas Conversion Kit required for each particular furnace.
IMPORTANT: Any additions,
changes or conversions required for the furnace to satisfactorily meet the application should be made by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier, using factory­specified or approved parts.
IMPORTANT: Connect this furnace only to gas supplied by a commercial utility.
IMPORTANT: U.L. or CSA recognized fuel gas and CO detector(s) are recommended in all applications, and their installation should be in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and/or local laws, rules, regulations or customs.
GAS PIPING
Install the gas piping according to all local codes and regulations of the utility company.
If possible, run a separate gas supply line directly from the meter to the furnace. Consult the local gas company for the location of the manual main shut-off valve. The gas
line and manual gas stop must be adequate in size to prevent undue pressure drop and never smaller than the pipe size to the gas valve on the furnace. Refer to Table 5 for
the recommended gas pipe size. See Figure 36 for typical gas pipe connections.
Install a ground joint union within 3 ft. of the cabinet to easily remove the gas valve assembly. Install a manual gas stop valve in the gas line outside the furnace casing.
The manual gas stop should be readily accessible to turn the gas

IMPORTANT: When making gas pipe connections, use a back-up wrench to prevent any twisting of the main gas valve and manifold. Do not overtighten gas valve on pipe.
Any strains on the gas valve can change the position of the gas orifices in the burners. This can cause erratic furnace operation.
IMPORTANT: Do not run a flexible gas connector inside the furnace. The gas pipe gasket in the cabinet does not seal around a flexible gas line.
If local codes allow the use of a flexible gas appliance connector, always use a new listed connector. Do not use a connector which has previously serviced another gas appliance. Massachusetts law requires that all flexible connectors be less than 36”.
It is important to have all openings in the cabinet burner compartment sealed for proper furnace operation.
IMPORTANT: ENSURE that the
furnace gas valve not be subjected to high gas line supply pressures.
DISCONNECT the furnace and its individual manual gas stop from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing that exceeds 1/2 PSIG. (3.48 kPa).

Natural gas supply pressure should be 5" to 10.5" w.c. LP gas supply pressure should be 11" to 13" w.c. This pressure must be
maintained with all other gas-fired appliances in operation.
The minimum gas supply pressure to the gas valve for proper furnace input adjustments is 5" w.c. for natural gas, however 6" to 7" is recommended. The minimum gas supply pressure is 11" w.c. for LP gas.
CAUTION
!
ELEVATIONS ABOVE 2000 FT REQUIRE THAT THE FURNACE INPUT RATING BE ADJUSTED AND THAT THE SIZE OF THE BURNER ORIFICES BE RE-CALCULATED BASED ON ELEVATION AND GAS HEATING VALUE. THE BURNER ORIFICES MAY (OR MAY NOT) NEED TO BE CHANGED. SEE THE SECTION TITLED “HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS” OF THIS BOOK FOR INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING
!
NEVER PURGE A GAS LINE INTO THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER. NEVER USE MATCHES, FLAME OR ANY IGNITION SOURCE FOR CHECKING LEAKAGE. FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THIS WARNING CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
To check for gas leakage, use an approved chloride-free soap and water solution, or other approved method.
GAS VALVE
This furnace has a 24-volt gas valve. It has ports for measuring supply and manifold gas pressure. The valve body contains a pressure regulator to maintain proper manifold gas pressure.
A control switch is on the valve body. It can be set to only the “ON” or “OFF” positions. The gas valve is a slow-opening valve. See Figures 37 and 39.
When energized, it takes 6 to 8 seconds to fully open.
39
LP CONVERSION
The valve can be converted to use liquified petroleum (LP) gas by replacing the pressure regulator spring with the conversion kit spring. This LP kit spring allows the regulator to maintain the proper manifold pressure for LP gas. See Figure 38.
NOTE: Order the correct LP conversion kit from the furnace manufacturer. Refer to the latest “L.P. Conversion Kit Index” shipped with the furnace or see Rheemote.net and PTS for latest version. Furnace conversion to LP gas must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
ORIFICE INSTALLATION
LP Gas is a manufactured gas that has consistent heating value across most regions.
The Sea Level input should still be reduced by 3.5-4% per thousand ft. and the orifice size must be selected based on the reduced input selection chart below.

WARNING
!
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME. NOTE: If you have a single
thermostat, the furnace will start on high fire then switches to low fire and will continue on low fire for 12 minutes and then if thermostat is not satisfied, shifts to high fire. With a 2-stage thermostat, when there is a call for low heat (1st stage), the furnace will start on high fire then switch to low fire until the call for heat is satisfied or 2nd stage contacts close.
TO CONVERT GAS VALVE TO LP GAS AND CHECK/ADJUST GAS PRESSURE
1. See Honeywell envelope kit
#396021 for proper LP regulator spring and instructions. (See Figures 39 & 40.)
2. The LP gas supply pressure must
be set between 11 and 13” W.C. by means of the tank or branch supply regulators.
3. The furnace manifold pressure
should be 10” W.C. for high fire and
4.8” W.C. for low fire. These pressures can be checked by connecting a properly calibrated manometer or gauge to the manifold pressure tap on the outlet end of the valve. Check and adjust pressures as follows:
a. For full input pressure remove
adjustment screw cover on outlet end of valve and turn adjustment screw clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to reduce pressure. Replace the adjustment cover screw securely.
b. For low fire pressure, remove
the regulator cover on top of valve and adjust as noted above.
NOTE: Use 3/32” allen wrench for making pressure adjustments. See Figure 39.

THIS FURNACE IS EQUIPPED WITH A BLOWER DOOR SAFETY SWITCH. DO NOT DISABLE THIS SWITCH. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
IMPORTANT: The furnace must be
installed so that the electrical components are protected from water (condensate).
Before proceeding with the electrical connections, be certain that the voltage, frequency and phase corresponds to that specified on the furnace rating plate. For single furnace application, maximum over-current protection is 15 amperes.
Use a separate fused branch electrical circuit containing a properly sized fuse or circuit breaker. Route this circuit directly from the main switch box to an electrical disconnect that is readily
accessible and located within site and arm’s reach of the furnace. Connect from the electrical disconnect to the junction box on the left side of the furnace, inside the blower compartment. For the proper connection, refer to the appropriate wiring diagram located on the inside cover of the furnace control box and in these instructions.
NOTE: UPFLOW MODELS ONLY
The electrical junction box may be moved to the right side if necessary. A knockout is provided. Seal the opposite hole with plug provided.
NOTE: L1 (hot) and N (neutral) polarity must be observed when making field connections to the furnace. The ignition control may not sense flame if L1 and Neutral are reversed. When L1 and Neutral are reversed, a diagnostic code of 6 blinks followed by a pause and 6

A single- or two-stage thermostat may be used, however, a two-stage thermostat is recommended for optimum performance.
The room thermostat must be compatible with the integrated furnace control on the furnace. Generally, all thermostats that are not of the “current robbing” type are compatible with the integrated furnace control being used.
Install the room thermostat in accordance with the instruction sheet in the box with the thermostat. Run the thermostat lead wires inside the control compartment. Connect the thermostat as shown on the wiring diagram. Never install the thermostat on an outside wall or where it will be influenced by drafts, concealed hot or cold water pipes, lighting fixtures, radiation from fireplace, rays of sun, lamps, television, radios or air streams from registers. Refer to the instructions packed with the thermostat for best anticipator adjustment or selection. Locate the thermostat approximately five feet up from the floor.

setting of .15 amps is recommended. Adjust as needed to improve comfort level.
ISOLATION RELAY
IMPORTANT: NOT ALL ELECTRONIC
NIGHT SETBACK THERMOSTATS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE FURNACE CONTROL SYSTEM. SOME MAY REQUIRE AN ISOLATION RELAY.
If an isolation relay is needed, install it as close to the control board as possible. Use a single-pole, single­throw relay with a 24 volt operating coil. The relay contacts should be designed for 24 volt loads.
Connect one end of the operating coil to the thermostat “W” terminal. Connect the other end of the coil to the “C” terminal on the control board.
Connect a jumper from the coil terminal connected to the thermostat to one of the normally open relay contacts.
Connect the other side of the normally open relay contacts to the control board “W” terminal if using a two stage thermostat. Connect that one side of the normally open relay contacts to the control board “W” terminal if using a single stage thermostat. See Figure 42 for wiring details.
When the thermostat calls for heat, it powers the 24 volt operating coil. This closes the relay contacts and conducts power from terminal 3 and 4 to terminal “W” on the control board and starts the furnace ignition sequence. See Figure 43.
NOTE: Use of an isolation relay with the two stage furnace is not normally needed.
ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER
Electronic air cleaner line voltage power can be supplied from the screw terminal “EAC” and a line voltage neutral screw terminal on the control board. This will power the electronic air cleaner whenever the circulating air blower is in operation.
HUMIDIFIER
Line voltage power can be supplied from screw terminal “HUM” to a line voltage neutral screw terminal on the control board. This will power the humidifier during a normal heat sequence after the blower has turned on.
NOTE: Maximum current of 1.0 Amp for each option.

The pressure switch must be installed at elevations above 5000 ft. Elevations above 2000 ft. require the furnace to be de-rated 4% per thousand feet.
Alternately, furnaces can be ordered from the factory already converted for high altitude elevations. The factory option for high altitude elevations

would be ordered as a 278 option (example; a 105k BTU upflow furnace which is factory converted for high altitude elevations would have the model number (-)GRM-1DEZAJS278). These factory converted furnaces come with a pressure switch for high­altitude elevations already attached. Also, different burner orifices are installed at the factory which are one drill size smaller (#51 DMS) than standard (-)GRM gas furnaces (#50 DMS). The smaller orifice is installed to accommodate for average heating values expected in most high altitude areas and a required 4% per thousand feet reduction in input as specified by the National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC).

LP GAS AT HIGH ALTITUDE ELEVATIONS
LP Gas is a manufactured gas that has consistent heating value across most regions.
The NFGC guidelines are used with the following exception:
The recommended LP Gas high altitude orifice selections differ slightly in that the NFGC LP orifice chart, as they are not accurate for Rheem products. The National Fuel Gas Code LP orifices are based on an 11" of water column pressure at the orifice, which differs from Rheem products that use 10" of water column at the orifice. This difference requires a deviation from the NFGC orifice size recommendations. The Sea Level input should still be reduced by 4% per thousand ft. and the orifice size must be selected based on the reduced input selection shown in Table 9.

CANADIAN HIGH­ALTITUDE DERATE
In Canada, unless an orifice change is specifically mandated by local codes, an alternate method of altitude deration through a reduction in manifold pressure is acceptable as described in Table 10.
The information in Table 10 is based on a heating value of 1000 BTU per cubic feet of natural gas, and 2500 BTU per cubic feet of LP gas.
IMPORTANT: Actual input rates must be measured on-site with manifold pressure adjustment to ensure that an actual 10% reduction in input rate is achieved.
Once this field adjustment has been made, the label shown in Figure 46 must be affixed in a conspicuous location on the front of the furnace cabinet:

START-UP PROCEDURES
DIRECT SPARK IGNITION LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a direct spark ignition device. This device lights the main burners each time the room thermostat (closes) calls for heat. See lighting instructions on the furnace.
During initial start-up, it is not unusual for odor or smoke to come out of any room registers. It is recommended to ensure proper ventilation by opening windows and doors, before initial firing.
The furnace has a negative pressure switch that is a safety during a call for heat. The induced draft blower must pull a negative pressure on the heat exchanger to close the negative pressure switch. The induced draft blower must maintain at least the negative pressure switch set point for the furnace to operate. If the induced draft blower fails to close or maintain the closing of the negative pressure switch, a heat call would be prevented until the problem is cleared.
TO START FURNACE
1. Remove the control access door.
!
WARNING
2. BE SURE THAT THE MANUAL GAS
CONTROL HAS BEEN IN THE “OFF” POSITION FOR AT LEAST FIVE MINUTES. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MANUALLY LIGHT THE MAIN BURNERS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
3. Turn off the furnace electrical power and set the room thermostat to the lowest setting.
4. Turn the gas control knob to the “On” position, or move the gas control lever to the “On” position.
5. Replace the control access door.
6. Turn on the electrical power.
7. Set the room thermostat to a point above room temperature to light the main burners. After the burners are lit, set room thermostat to a desired temperature.
TO SHUT DOWN FURNACE
1. Set the room thermostat to off and its lowest setting.
2. Turn manual gas stop to the closed position.
3. Turn off the electrical power to the furnace.
4. Remove burner compartment door.
5. Move the main gas valve knob or lever to the off position.
6. Replace the burner compartment door.
WARNING
!
SHOULD OVERHEATING OCCUR OR THE GAS SUPPLY FAIL TO SHUT OFF, SHUT OFF THE MANUAL GAS VALVE TO THE APPLIANCE BEFORE SHUTTING OFF THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
IGNITOR PLACEMENT, ALIGNMENT & LOCATION
Ignition failure may be a result of improper ignitor alignment caused during a service call or other work done to the furnace in the field. When performing any work on the burner, heat exchanger, etc., the technician must check alignment of the spark ignitor. Misalignment of the ignitor could cause a failure to light or rough ignition. The correct ignitor alignment is shown in Figure 45.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
See the section of this book titled “Electrical Wiring - Thermostat” and Figure 42 for a wiring diagram showing how to connect a thermostat.
SINGLE-STAGE HEAT THERMOSTAT
NOTE: Single-stage heat operation is
determined by the position of the jumper at P7 on the control board. Options are: 5 minutes between 1 and 2ndstage, or 12 minutes between 1stand 2ndstage (see Figure 46).
For single-stage operation, “W” from the thermostat must be connected to “W” on the furnace control.
Do not leave jumper at P7 in the “NONE” position when using a single­stage thermostat with the timed staging feature. If the jumper is left on “NONE”, the furnace will never reach high heat (100% heat). NOTE: When there is a low heat call present at the time of ignition, this furnace will light on high fire heat and immediately drop to low fire as soon as flame is sensed. This can sometimes appear to be ignition on low heat stage but this is not the case. Listen carefully to hear the inducer and gas valve relays switch to low fire after ignition when a low heat call is present. If a high heat call is present at the time of ignition, both ignition and steady state heat will occur at high fire and there will be no change in operation after ignition.
a. Connect the “W” terminal on the
thermostat to the “W” terminal on the control board.
b. When there is a call for heat, the
“R” and “W” contacts close and the IFC runs a self check routine to verify that the pressure switch contacts are open. The limit switch contacts are constantly monitored.
c. The induced draft motor starts on
high speed. After a 30 second pre­purge, the spark ignitor energizes and the high fire gas valve opens, lighting the burners.
d. After the gas valve opens, the
remote flame sensor must prove ignition for one second using the process of flame rectification. If the burners do not light, the system

sequence. It does this up to 4 times.
e. The inducer and gas valve
immediately drop to low fire, the main blower starts on low heat speed 20 seconds after the flame is sensed. The furnace operates on low fire for 5 or 12 minutes and then, if the thermostat is not satisfied, shifts to high fire, causing the draft inducer to go to high speed, the gas valve to shift to 100% and the main blower to high heat speed. (In some models low and high fire have identical main blower airflow CFM.)
f. When the thermostat cycle ends, the
gas valve closes, and the burners go out.
g. The draft inducer will continue running
for a 10 second post purge.
h. The main blower runs for 80-180
seconds on high heat speed or 90-180 seconds on low heat speed (this timing is field adjustable). See Figure 47 for switch settings.
Sequence if the system doesn’t light or doesn’t sense flame
a. If flame is not sensed within 8 seconds
after the gas valve opens, the valve closes and the ignitor is de-energized. The induced draft motor will run for 60 seconds on high, and then begins another heat cycle.
b. The ignition process goes through 3
more attemps.
c. If there is no ignition after the 4th trial,
the furnace goes into soft lockout for one hour.
d. The sequence repeats after a one
hour delay and continues repeating until ignition is successful or the call for heat is terminated.
e. To reset the lockout, break heat call at
the thermostat or power at the unit disconnect switch for 5 to 10 seconds. The furnace then goes through another set of trials for ignition (provided call for heat is still present).
f. If flame is established and maintained
during the trial for ignition period and flame is lost, the gas valve is de­energized, the draft inducer completes the post purge, and control shuts off the inducer, senses the open pressure switch and begins the ignition sequence again from pre-purge. The indoor blower motor will be energized and/or remain energized on low speed for low fire and heat speed for high fire for the selected delay off time.
The control initiates another ignition trial period. The control will recycle up to 5 flame losses (4 re-cycles) within a single call for heat before going into lockout.
immediately drop to low fire as soon as flame is sensed. This can sometimes appear to be ignition on low heat stage but this is not the case. Listen carefully to hear the inducer and gas valve relays switch to low fire after ignition when a low heat call is present. If a high heat call is present at the time of ignition and steady state heat will occur at high fire and there will be no change in operation after ignition.
Call for 1st stage heat
a. The “R” and “W” thermostat contacts
close and the control module runs a self-check routine. After the control module verifies that both sets of pressure switch contacts are open, the induced draft motor starts on high until both the low and high pressure switch contacts close (a maximum of 60 seconds).
b. After a 30 second pre-purge the spark
igniter energizes and the high fire gas valve opens, lighting the burners.
c. After the burners light, the remote
flame sensor must prove ignition. If the burners do not light, the system goes through another ignition sequence. It does this up to 4 times.
d. The furnace immediately drops
inducer and gas value to low fire after sensing flame. The main blower starts on low-heat speed 20 seconds after the flame is proven. The furnace continues to run on low fire until the call for heat is satisfied or the 2nd stage contacts close. If the 1st stage call for heat is satisfied the gas valve closes and the induced draft motor continues running for a 10 second post purge time. the main blower runs for its blower off delay (this timing is field adjustable). See Figure 46 for switch settings.
Call for 2nd stage heat after 1st stage
The “R” and “W2” thermostat contacts close, calling for 2 stage heat. The induced draft motor switches to high speed and the low and high pressure switch contacts close. The gas valve switches to high fire and the main blower switches to high heat speed.

The “R” and “W2” thermostat contacts open. The induced draft motor switches to low speed, the main blower motor switches to low heat speed and the gas valve changes to low fire. The furnace continues to run in this mode until the 1st stage heat call is satisfied. The system will shut down as noted in “d,” under 1st stage call for heat.
NOTE: Under extreme cold conditions, the 2-stage thermostat may call for the furnace to cycle between 1st and 2nd stage operation.
INTEGRATED FURNACE CONTROL & ECM MOTOR SETTINGS
These furnaces have ECM blower motors. These motors deliver a constant level of air flow over a wide range of external static pressures (0.1 to 0.8W.C.).
There is a bank of 12 dip switches (SW1) on the control board which define the operation of the ECM motor. (See Table 11.) (See Figure
48.) Many of these switches (except for switches 9 and 12) are actually broken down into dip switch pairs. The following switches are paired 1 & 2, 3

HEATING AIRFLOW ADJUSTMENTS
The furnace is shipped with low and high fire heating airflows. These are set from the factory to let the furnace operate at the mid point of the temperature rise range. The temperature may vary slightly due to furnace input manufacturing tolerances and voltage variations.
In the heating mode, the ECM motor is programmed to ramp up to its target CFM over a fifteen (15) second period. After any of the user selected “Off” delays the ECM motor will ramp down to 50% of steady state CFM for approximately thirty (30) seconds. The motor will then ramp down to off.
COOLING AIRFLOW ADJUSTMENTS
The furnace motor is programmed to provide cooling airflows of 11⁄2, 2, 21⁄2 and 3 tons in the RGRM-04*MAES, RGRM­06*MAES and RGRM-07*MAES and of 21⁄2, 3, 31⁄2, and 4 tons are available in the RGRM-07*YBGS units. Airflows of 3, 31⁄2, 4 and 5 tons are available in the RGRM­09EZAJS, RGRM-10EZAJS, RGRM­12ERAJS units. See Table 16 for airflow options. Furnaces are shipped from the factory set for maximum cooling airflow. Adjustments to the cooling airflow may be made using switches 7 and 8 as shown in Figure 47.
BLACK IS SWITCH
TWO-STAGE COOLING SELECTION
Dipswitch SW1, Position #12 on the Integrated Furnace Control (IFC) ships from the factory in the “ON” position. This dipswitch is to be used to designate single or two-stage cooling to the IFC. The “ON” (as now shipped) position designates a single-stage air conditioning system or heating-only application. The “OFF” position designates a two-stage air conditioning system or a single stage cooling system where the cooling airflow used is the 1st stage cooling input as described in the section of this document titled Additional Cooling Speeds for Single Stage Cooling Applications. Turn the switch to the “OFF” position when using two-stage cooling with separate contactors, Y1 and Y2. Failure to do this will mean that the air conditioner will never go into low stage.
2-Stage Cooling Systems = #12 OFF 1-Stage Cooling Systems = #12 ON 1-Stage Cooling using Low Cool = #12
Stage Cooling using Low Cool = OFF
ADDITIONAL COOLING SPEEDS FOR SINGLE­STAGE COOLING APPLICATIONS
In addition to the listed cooling airflows for single-stage cooling the installer has the option of using the first-stage cooling airflow of the furnace for full cooling airflow speed. This is done by simply connecting a single-stage thermostat’s “Y’ terminal to the furnace control’s “Y1” terminal. The terminal “Y2” of the furnace control is left disconnected. In this case, the airflow delivered by the furnace for full cooling would be the same as the airflow for first-stage cooling of a two-stage cooling system. This gives the user more options for cooling airflow. Figure 47 indicates the approximate cooling airflow for both first and second stage.
NOTE:The dipswitch SW1-12 must be set to the “OFF” position for this particular configuration in order to utilize the first-stage cooling input which is inoperative when the dipswitch is “ON”. The furnace control is shipped from the factory with this switch in the “ON” position so it will need to be turned “OFF” in order to utilize this feature.
CONTINUOUS FAN ADJUSTMENTS
There are two options for the adjustment of continuous fan. With switch 9 “ON” the speed will be high fan. With switch 9 “OFF” the speed will be low fan.

SETTING BLOWER OFF TIMINGS FOR COOLING AND HEAT PUMP OPERATION
There is a jumper (P6) on the main furnace control board for setting blower off timings. (See Figure 46.)
DEHUMIDIFICATION
The interface control has two optional 24 volt AC only inputs. The “B” terminal input is provided for heat pump applications. This signal comes from a heat pump thermostat and tells the heat pump to switch its reversing valve to heat mode. If this “B” signal is also routed to the furnace control, all airflow adjust switches (7 & 8 of SW1) and “On Demand Dehumidification” are bypassed in the heat mode only. The airflow will remain at the normal airflow as selected by switches 5 & 6 throughout the heat mode. This allows the user to have a switched (reduced) airflow adjustment for dehumidification or the “On Demand Dehumidification” in cooling mode, but not the adverse humidity and heat rise effects of using these adjustments during a heat pump’s heat mode. The “B” terminal does not apply to gas operation.
The “On Demand Dehumidification” (ODD) input allows the user to have automatic dehumidification that is controlled by the user’s humidistat setting. Dehumidistats are not compatible with the furnace control. On Demand Dehu mi di fi -
ca tion (ODD) when not using a humi di -
stat, or thermostat with a dehu mi di fi ­ca tion feature.Switch selection lowers
airflow CFM continuously by about 17% by turning “off” the input to the ODD terminal. SWITCHES SHOULD BE LEFT
AT THE FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS TO PREVENT LOWER THAN EXPECTED AIRFLOW.
(ODD) ON-DEMAND­DEHUMIDIFICATION WITH HUM I DI ­STAT, OR THERMOSTAT, WITH DEHUMIDIFICATION FEATURE.
Normal airflow is reduced by a pre­programmed amount to maximize latent moisture removal. Zero voltage will be supplied to the ODD terminal, under high humidity, and the CFM will be dropped approximately 15%. When humidity is low, 24 Volts will be supplied to the ODD terminal, with CFM based on settings made to terminal pairs for cooling airflow and airflow adjustments. Be sure to use a humidistat with these settings or airflow will be reduced. When no voltage is present on ODD and the ODD feature is enabled (see Table 18), cooling airflow is decreased 15%. This results in higher latent capacity and increases the level of comfort. This feature is only available in the cooling mode.
*IMPORTANT: Only traditional humidistats will work with this feature. Dehumidistats will not work properly with this feature.
ADJUSTING OR CHECKING FURNACE INPUT
A properly calibrated manometer or gauge is required for accurate gas pressure readings.
NATURAL GAS
1. When adjusting the furnace input, the high fire input should be checked. The high fire manifold pressure should be 3.5’ W.C. Follow these steps to be sure the furnace is high fire mode: a. With a single stage thermostat,
the furnace runs for 12 minutes on low fire before shifting to high fire. To be certain that it is on high fire, connect terminals “R”, “W” and “W2” together on the control board in the blower compartment.
b. With a two stage thermostat, set
the thermostat to its highest setting to keep the furnace operating in the high fire mode.
2. To adjust high fire manifold pressure, remove the adjustment cover screw on the outlet end of the gas valve and turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase the pressure and counterclockwise to reduce the pressure. Replace the cover screw securely. See Figure
27.
3. The low fire manifold pressure should be 1.7” W.C. As mentioned above, the furnace remains in the low fire mode for 12 minutes upon a heat call with a single stage thermostat. With a two stage thermostat, disconnect the thermostat lead to the “W2” terminal on the IFC and the furnace will remain in the low fire mode. To adjust the pressure, remove the regulator cover, on top of the valve, and adjust as noted under Step 2, above. After the adjustment replace the screw cover securely.

AIR FLOW
The importance of proper air flow over the heat exchanger cannot be over emphasized.
CAUTION
!
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT EACH DUCT SYSTEM BE SIZED AND INSTALLED FOR THE SPECIFIC APPLICATION BY PROPERLY APPLYING THE APPROPRIATE INDUSTRY ACCEPTED STANDARD. IF LESS THAN MINIMUM STANDARDS ARE APPLIED, THE EQUIPMENT USER COULD EXPECT TO EXPERIENCE HIGHER UTILITY BILLS, MAJOR COMPONENT FAILURE, VARYING DEGREES OF AIR NOISE OR OTHER UNSATISFACTORY ISSUES, OVER WHICH THE EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER HAS NO CONTROL.
TEMPERATURE RISE CHECK
To determine if the air flow is correct, make a temperature rise check.
1. Insert a thermometer in the supply air duct as close to the furnace as possible yet out of a direct line from the heat exchanger. See Figure 49.
2. Insert a thermometer in the return air duct as close to the furnace as possible.
3. Operate the furnace. High fire and low fire heating modes have the same temperature rise range.
4. When the thermometer in the supply air duct stops rising (approximately five minutes), subtract the return air temperature from the supply air temperature. The difference is the temperature rise.
5. Compare the measured temperature rise to the approved temperature rise range listed on the furnace name plate. See Figure 50.
If the measured temperature rise is above the approved range, the air flow is too low. More air must be moved by speeding up the blower, by removing restrictions in the duct system, or by adding more supply or return air duct. If the measured temperature rise is below the approved range, the air flow is too much. Use lower speed tap on the multi-speed blower.
POSSIBLE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE RISE RANGE IS 40 TO 70 DEGREES, THE MOST IDEAL RISE WOULD BE 55 DEGREES (THE MIDDLE OF THE RISE RANGE). IN ALL APPLICATIONS, THE INSTALLER MUST ADJUST THE TEMPERATURE RISE TO THIS "MIDDLE" POINT AS CLOSELY AS POSSIBLE. ALSO, THE TEMPERATURE RISE SHOULD NEVER BE ABOVE OR FALL BELOW THE STATED RANGE. DOING SO COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE HEAT EXCHANGER OR INTERMITTENT OPERATION WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH AND WILL VOID THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY FOR THIS PRODUCT.

FILTER MAINTENANCE
Have your qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier instruct you on how to access your filters for regular maintenance.
FILTERS
Filter application and placement are critical to airflow, which may affect the heating and cooling system performance. Reduced airflow can shorten the life of the system’s major components, such as motor, limits, heat exchanger, evaporator coil or compressor. Consequently, we recommend that the return air duct system have only one filter location. The most common location will be inside the furnace or a filter base. For systems with a return air filter grille or multiple filter grilles, can have a filter installed at each of the return air openings. Your HVAC professional can show you where they have installed the filter(s).
If high efficiency filters or electronic air cleaners are used in the system, it is important that the airflow is not reduced to maximize system performance and life. Always verify that the system’s airflow is not impaired by the filtering system that has been installed, by performing a temperature rise and temperature drop test.
Keep the filter(s) clean at all times. Vacuum dirt from filter, wash with detergent and water, air dry thoroughly and reinstall.
DO NOT DOUBLE FILTER THE RETURN AIR DUCT SYSTEM. DO NOT FILTER THE SUPPLY AIR DUCT SYSTEM.
NOTE: Some filters must be resized to fit certain units and applications. See Table 17 and Figures 51 & 52.
1. 21” - 75,000(B), 90,000 & 105,000 BTUH units require removal of a
3.5-in. segment of filter and frame to get the proper width for a side filter.
2. 24.5” - 105,000 and 120,000 BTUH unit requires removal of a 7" segment of filter and frame to get the proper width for a side filter.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT OPERATE THE SYSTEM WITHOUT FILTERS. A PORTION OF THE DUST ENTRAINED IN THE AIR MAY TEMPORARILY LODGE IN THE AIR DUCT RUNS AND AT THE
SUPPLY REGISTERS. ANY RECIRCULATED DUST PARTICLES WILL BE HEATED AND CHARRED BY CONTACT WITH THE FURNACE HEAT EXCHANGER. THIS RESIDUE WILL SOIL CEILINGS, WALLS, DRAPES, CARPETS AND OTHER HOUSEHOLD ARTICLES AND MAY RESULT IN UNPLEASANT ODORS.
LUBRICATION
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to lubricate the bearings on the blower motor or the induced draft blower motor. Addition of lubricants can reduce the motor life and void the warranty.
The blower motor and induced draft blower motor are permanently lubricated by the manufacturer and do not require further attention.
The blower motor and induced draft blower motor must be cleaned periodically by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier to prevent the possibility of overheating due to an accumulation of dust and dirt on the windings or on the motor exterior. And, as suggested elsewhere in these instructions, the air filters should be kept clean. Dirty filters can restrict airflow. The motor depends upon sufficient air flowing across and through it to keep from overheating.
SYSTEM OPERATION INFORMATION
Advise The Customer
1. Keep the air filters clean. The heating system will operate better, more efficiently and more economically.
2. Arrange the furniture and drapes so that the supply air registers and the return air grilles are unobstructed.
3. Close doors and windows. This will reduce the heating load on the system.
4. Avoid excessive use of kitchen exhaust fans.
5. Do not permit the heat generated by television, lamps or radios to influence the thermostat operation.
6. Except for the mounting platform, keep all combustible articles 3 feet from the furnace and vent system.
7. IMPORTANT: Replace all blower doors and compartment covers after servicing the furnace. Do not operate the unit without all panels and doors securely in place.
8. Explain proper operation of the system.
ANNUAL INSPECTION
• The furnace should operate for many years without excessive scale build­up in the flue passageways. However,
it is recommended that a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier annually inspect the flue passageways, the vent system and the main burners for continued safe operation. Pay particular attention to deterioration from corrosion or other sources.
• IMPORTANT: It is recommended that at the beginning and at approximately half way through the heating season, a visual inspection be made of the main burner flames for the desired flame appearance by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. If the flames are distorted and/or there is evidence of back pressure, check the vent and inlet air system for blockage. If there is carbon and scale in the heat exchanger tubes, the heat exchanger assembly should be replaced.
WARNING
!
HOLES IN THE VENT PIPE OR HEAT EXCHANGER CAN CAUSE TOXIC FUMES TO ENTER THE HOME, RESULTING IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING OR DEATH. THE VENT PIPE OR HEAT EXCHANGER MUST BE REPLACED IF THEY LEAK.
• IMPORTANT: It is recommended
that at the beginning of the heating season, the flame sensor be cleaned with steel wool by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
• IMPORTANT: It is recommended that at the beginning of the heating season, the condensate trap be inspected for debris or blockage and be filled with water. A blocked condensate trap can cause water to back up into the primary heat exchanger and lead to nuisance tripping of the overtemperature switches.
• IMPORTANT: It is recommended that at the beginning of the heating season, the condensate neutralizer if used be replaced by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
• IMPORTANT: It is recommended that an annual inspection and cleaning of all furnace markings be made to assure legibility. Attach a replacement marking, which can be obtained through the distributor, if any are found to be illegible or missing.
TROUBLESHOOTING

– Normal Fault detected.
– Limit switch open – main
– Pressure switch stuck
– Not applicable.
– No power (24VAC) to control
measurement tolerances, air density, humidity, ambient air temperature and other things, the CFM actually measured may vary significantly from this target value.
One Blink represents 100 CFM of target airflow. A half blink represents approx. 50 CFM. When the blink sequence is complete, there will be a noticeable pause of approximately one second before the sequence repeats. For example, if elevent and one half blinks are counted followed by a one second pause and then eleven and one half blinks are counted again, the target airflow is approximtely 1150 CFM. Because the resolution of this method is only 50 CFM (half-blinks), the actual taget CFM could be anywhere between 1125 CFM and 1175 CFM. And, since this is TARGET airflow, the actual airflow measured could be much different than this.’
The CFM LED is intended to be for reference only. The CFM airflow reported by the furnace control through blinks of this LED should be only used as a guide to determine APPROXIMATE airflow and is not intended as a laboratory-grade instrument for determining precise airflow through the furnace.
