Installing Your Furnace
The following steps are needed for proper installation and safe
operation of your furnace. If you have any doubts as to any
requirements, obtain professional help. Remember to ALWAYS
consult your local heating or plumbing inspector, building
department or gas utility company regarding regulations, codes,
or ordinances which apply to the installation and location of a
vented wall furnace.
IMPORTANT
2. Install the furnace in accordance with local codes or
ordinances and instructions provided. In the absence of
local codes or ordinances, install the furnace to conform
with the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code,
NFPA 54, ANSI Z223.1/Canadian Installation Code,
CAN/CGA B149.
3. Maintain minimum clearances: Floor 2½-inches, ceiling 16inches, side wall 4-inches.
For satisfactory and trouble-free operation, be sure to:
1. Locate the furnace properly within the space to be heated.
Locating Wall Furnace & Thermostat
The furnace is installed between 2x4 inch wall studs spaced on
16-inch centers or a stud space that can be framed in to 16-
inches.
Consider the following points before attempting to install the
furnace:
CAUTION: Do not make cutouts in the wall or
ceiling before checking in the attic for ceiling joist
locations and proposed venting.
1. Locate the furnace near the center of the space to be
heated for good air circulation. Do not put it behind a door
or draperies. Do not install the furnace where it could be
isolated by closing doors to the heated space. Do not
locate the furnace where a door could swing over the front
panel or where circulation could be retarded by furniture or
cabinets.
2. Check the minimum spacing needs as shown in Figure 1.
3. The top of the furnace must be at least 16-inches from the
ceiling.
4. When the furnace is properly installed with legs resting on
the floor plate, it sets the dimension from the face panel to
the bare floor. (Approximately 2½-inches depending on the
thickness of floor plate).
5. A protective barrier (metal or wood), cut to match the width
and depth of the furnace, should be used to cover over
any floor coverings such as carpet or vinyl under the
furnace. At no time should the dimension from the bottom
of the face panel to the protective barrier be less than 1½inches.
6. In the space to be heated, the side of the furnace may be
as close as 4-inches to an intersecting wall. The recessed
portion may have 0-inches clearance to combustible
material.
7. Select a location that will provide adequate accessibility
clearance for servicing and proper operation.
4. Provide enough combustion and ventilation air.
8. After picking a location, inspect the wall, floor, attic and
roof areas. Make sure there are no pipes, wiring, bracing,
etc., that will interfere with furnace or vent installation. If
required, move them or pick a new installation location.
9. Be sure that gas piping and electrical wiring can be
brought to the location. Electrical wiring is required for
optional blower accessory.
10. If installing the thermostat on the wall, locate the
thermostat approximately 5-feet above the floor on an
inside wall where it will sense the average room
temperature.

Locating Wall Furnace & Thermostat (continued)
WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily injury or loss of life. Even when a house meets
requirements for unconfined space with adequate air infiltration, it is recommended that a fresh air intake be
installed to lessen the possible dangers from any future changes on the home
Installing Your Furnace
Locating Wall Furnace & Thermostat (continued)
The thermostat should be sensing average room temperature;
avoid the following:
HOT SPOTS: COLD SPOTS:
Concealed pipes or ducts Concealed pipes or ducts

Corners and alcoves
Combustion & Ventilation Air
WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily
injury or loss of life. The furnace and any other fuelburning appliances must be provided with enough
fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation of
flue gases. Most homes will require that outside air
be supplied into the heated area.
The high cost of energy for home heating has brought about new
materials and methods used to construct or remodel most current
homes. The improved construction and additional insulation has
reduced the heat loss and made these homes much tighter
around windows and doors so that infiltrated air is minimal. This
creates a problem to supply combustion and ventilation air for
gas-fired or other fuel burning appliances. Any use of appliances
that pull air out of the house (clothes dryers, exhaust fans,
fireplaces, etc.) increases this problem and appliances could be
starving for air.
The combination of a tight energy efficient home with the use of
exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and gas appliances result
in more and more air being drawn from the house until fresh air
may be sucked back into the house down a furnace flue or
fireplace chimney. Carbon monoxide can be the result. Carbon
monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas produced when fuel is
not burned completely or when the flame does not receive
sufficient oxygen. Automobiles, charcoal, wood fires and
improperly vented or air-starved coal, oil and gas furnaces or
other appliances can produce carbon monoxide.
Do not install furnace in the same room or near a wood solid fuel
burning fireplace.
After picking a location that meets the requirements, check the
walls, attic and roof to make sure there are no obstructions such
as pipes, electrical wiring, etc., which could interfere with the
installation of the furnace or vent pipe. If required, move them or
pick a new location.
WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily
injury or loss of life. Do not install the furnace in any
area where oxygen is in use.
BE AWARE OF THESE AIR-STARVATION SIGNALS:
1. Headaches, nausea, dizziness.
2. Excessive humidity shown by heavily frosted windows or a
moist "clammy" sensation.
3. Fireplace smoke fills the room or will not draw.
4. Furnace flue backs up.
AIR REQUIREMENTS
The requirements for providing air for combustion and ventilation
are listed in the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 (in
Canada: CAN/CGA B149). Most homes will require that outside
air be supplied to the heated area by means of ventilation grilles
or ducts connecting directly to the outside or spaces open to the
outdoors such as attic or crawl space. The only exception is when
the heated area meets the requirements and definitions for an
unconfined space with adequate air infiltration.
All air openings and connecting ducts must comply with the
following:
If the furnace is installed in an area with another gas appliance(s),
the total input rating of all appliances must be considered when
determining the free area requirements for combustion and
ventilation air openings.
Ducts must have the same cross-sectional area as the free area
of the openings to which they connect. The minimum dimension
of rectangular air ducts must not be less than 3-inches in length or
height.

LOUVERS / GRILLES AND SCREENS COVERING
FREE AREA OPENINGS
If a screen is used to cover the opening(s), it must not be smaller
than 1/4-inch mesh. Use the free area of a louver or grille to
determine the size opening required to provide the free area
specified. If the free area is not known, assume a 20% free area
for wood and a 60% free area for metal louvers or grilles.
INFILTRATION AIR
If your furnace is in an open area (unconfined space), the air that
leaks through the cracks around doors and windows may be
enough for combustion and ventilation air. The doors should not
fit tightly. The cracks around windows should not be caulked or
weather stripped.
Spillage means air starvation. A fresh air duct or air intake
opening must be installed to provide air directly to the furnace or
other gas appliances.
If spillage exists or when the furnace is in a building of tight
construction where the windows and doors are weather stripped,
air for combustion and ventilation must be obtained from outdoors
or space open to the outdoors.
B. Draft Hood Spills
If there is spillage at a draft hood (match goes out or flame wavers
away from draft hood), check for plugged flue connectors and
chimneys. Repair blockage and test again.
If you have a fireplace, open a window or door near the fireplace
and then check for spillage. If spillage stops, do not use the
fireplace without a nearby window or door open until you can
supply fresh air by a permanent duct.
If you have kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans, turn them off and
check for spillage. If spillage stops, do not use exhaust fans
(circuit breakers for fans should be turned off) until you can supply
fresh air by a permanent duct.
Provide opening(s) having a total free area of one-square-inch per
4,000 Btu/hr. of the total combined input ratings for all appliances
in the area. The required free area is shown in Figure 3. This
fresh air opening or duct must terminate at a point not more than
one-foot above the floor. It must have at least one-square inch of
free area for each 4,000 Btu/hr. of input of all appliances in area.
To determine if infiltration air is adequate, perform the following
checks:
1. Close all doors and windows. If you have a fireplace, start a
fire and wait until flames are burning vigorously.
2. Turn on all exhausting devices, i.e., kitchen and bathroom
exhaust fans; water heaters (gas and electric).
3. Turn on all vented gas appliances, i.e., heating equipment
(includes any room heaters), water heaters.
4. Wait ten (10) minutes for drafts to settle.
5. Check for draft hood spillage at each appliance. Hold a lit
match two-inches from the draft opening. (Figure 2).
A. No Spillage
If the match flame pulls toward draft hood, this indicates sufficient
infiltration air. Return exhausting devices and appliances to the
condition you found them.

FURNACE LOCATED IN UNCONFINED SPACE
An unconfined space must have a volume of a minimum 50 cubic
feet per 1,000 Btu/hr. of the total combined input of all appliances
in the area. Adjoining rooms may be included only if there are no
doors between the rooms or if special provisions are made such
as ventilation grilles installed between connecting rooms. Figure

Input
FURNACE LOCATED IN CONFINED SPACE
If a furnace is installed in a confined space, it must be provided
with free air for proper combustion and ventilation of flue gases by
one of the following methods:
A. Air From Inside the Building
If the confined space adjoins an unconfined space, provide two
permanent openings. One within 12-inches of the top and another
within 12-inches of the bottom of the room directly connected to
the unconfined space. Each opening must have a free area of at
least 100-square inches or 1-square inch per 1,000 Btu/hr. of
input for all appliances combined.
WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily
injury or death. The adjoining unconfined space
must have adequate air infiltration.
B. Air From Outdoors
If confined space does not adjoin an unconfined space, then air
must be provided from outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors
such as an attic or crawl spaces.
Openings for inlet or outlet air should NOT be made into an attic
area if the attic is equipped with a thermostat controlled power
vent.
Provide two permanent openings, one within 12-inches of the top
and bottom of the room connecting directly to, or by using ducts,
with the outdoors or areas open to fresh air.
If the opening connects directly to, or with vertical ducts, the free
area of each opening must be at least 1-square inch per 4,000
Btu/hr. of the combined input of all appliances in the area.
If horizontal ducts are used, the free area of each opening must
be at least 1-square inch per 2,000 Btu/hr. of the combined input
of all appliances in the area.
WARNING: Danger of illness, bodily injury or
death. Draft hood spillage, with unobstructed vents,
indicates that additional air must be brought into the
structure from the outside. Keep a window open
(minimum 2-inches) near the appliance until a
permanent air duct is installed.

header plate to the 2x4 studs which will center the vent collar in
the wall. (Figure 5).
INSTALL CEILING PLATE SPACER
Nail the ceiling plate spacers either across or in between the cut
out section of ceiling plate. If nailed between, ends must be bent
at 90 degrees. They must be fastened along each long edge of
the ceiling plate hole to hold the oval vent pipe in the center of the
hole. Ceiling plate spacers preserve structural strength and
position oval vent pipe in the center of the cut out opening.
Ceiling plate spacers are not included. (Figure 7).
CEILING PLATE OPENING
Cut away the ceiling plate between the studs where the furnace is
to be installed. Work from the top in the attic. If there is no
access to the top, remove the wall covering between the two wall
studs all the way to the ceiling. Work through this opening. Cut
out the entire plate so the plate edges will be even with the inner
face of the 2x4 studs. (Figure 7).

Installing Your Furnace
Surface Mount Installation
The use of the optional Free Standing Accessory No. 4901 allows
single-sided furnaces to be surface mounted instead of recessed
into a wall. This is ideal for remodeling existing masonry wall
construction or when studding is substandard. This kit drastically
cuts installation time and eliminates the expense of cutting into
the walls and ceiling plates. Be sure this accessory is of the type
and design required for the use with your furnace.
NOTE: After picking a location that meets the requirements,
check the wall, attic, and roof to make sure there are no
obstructions such as pipes, electrical wiring, etc., which could
interfere with the installation of the furnace or vent pipe. If
required, move them or pick a new location.
FIND THE WALL STUDS OR CEILING JOISTS
Find two studs or joists at the spot where the furnace is to be
located. Use a stud locator or small finishing nails. Repeatedly
drive and remove a nail into the wall or ceiling in the area of the
stud or joust until you find it. Then find the its side and leave the
nail there. Drive another nail just on the other side other the same
stud or joist.
The inside of the next stud or joist should be about 14½ inches
from the first one found. Drive a nail on the inside of this stud or
joist.
Using the nails as a guide, draw two lines down the side of the
wall from the ceiling to locate the furnace and ceiling hole cutout
for venting.

Installing Your Furnace
Vent Installation
The vent installation must comply with all local codes and
ordinances. If in doubt, consult your local codes or inspector.
The furnace vent must be directed to the outdoors so that harmful
combustion gases will not collect inside the building.
This furnace must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a
separate solid-fuel burning appliance.
This product is design certified to ANSI Z21.86. It must be
installed with a U.L. tested and listed type "B" approved vent and
type "B/W” approved vent (Figure 8). Older style terra-cotta,
transite, clay, concrete or masonry type vent pipe cannot be used
with this appliance. These types of vent pipe will not heat fast
enough to establish a draft, which will result in improper venting of
combustion products. Consequently, this could cause the vent
safety control system to shut down the furnace.
The area above header within the stud space MUST be kept clear
of any attic insulation to allow the free circulation of air around the
oval vent piping. In some areas the building code requires the
use of an attic shield.
The B/W vent must extend through the ceiling and roof
terminating at least 12-feet above the finished floor on which the
furnace rests.
INSTALL FURNACE VENT
Attach a 4-foot length of oval, double-wall vent pipe through the
plate spacers to the hold-down plate. Push the vent pipe into the
hold-down plate until it is completely seated. The hold-down cleat
will engage the groove in the vent pipe.
COMPLETE THE VENTING
Type B/W gas vent shall extend from the header plate of the
furnace to a point above the highest ceiling plate within the stud
space through which the vent passes, without any offsets or
crossovers. The first vent pipe offset, (if required), may not be any
closer than 2-feet from the header. After a type B/W gas vent
passes through the highest ceiling plate within a stud space
above the furnace to which it serves, the vent system may be
completed with a Type B gas vent, from the SAME manufacturer
(do not mix brands of pipe). Offsets cannot be greater than 45
degrees from vertical. Refer to The Uniform Mechanical Code.
Install the oval-to-round adapter. Complete the piping extending it
through the roof. Use a 4-inch round, double-wall (Type B) vent
pipe, roof flashing, storm collar and vent cap as shown. The vent
cap must be at least 2-feet higher than any point that is within 10feet of the vent cap. There must be at least a 1-inch clearance
between the vent pipe and any combustible material.

Installing Your Furnace
Thermostat Installation
Williams’ furnaces are operated by a millivolt type thermostat.
Current to the thermostat is supplied by the pilot generator. Do
not connect it to electricity. Anticipator settings are not required.
1. Use of existing wire is acceptable if it is in a satisfactory
location and the wire is in good condition. When in doubt,
use new wiring.
2. If a new location is chosen or if this is a new installation,
thermostat wire must first be run to the location selected.
All wiring must agree with local codes and ordinances.
These instructions cover bringing the wire down from the
attic but it may be run from a basement or crawl space
using similar methods.
3. Before drilling a hole in the wall at the selected location,
drive a small finish nail through the ceiling in the corner of
the wall and ceiling above the thermostat location. Pull the
nail out and push a small, stiff wire through the hole so it
can be found in the attic. Drill a ½-inch hole through the
ceiling wall plate.
4. Probe for obstructions in the partition. Then, drill a ½-inch
hole through the wall at the selected location for the
thermostat.
5. From the attic, feed the thermostat wire through the wall
until even with the thermostat location.
6. Snag the thermostat wire through the hole and pull the wire
through the hole in the wall so that 6-inches of the wire
protrude.
7. Route wires to the furnace.
8. Never use nails or staples across the thermostat wires.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause
improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper
operation after servicing. Refer to installation
instructions packed in the thermostat carton if you
have any doubt about the above procedures.
WALL-MOUNTED THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
1. To remove the thermostat cover, squeeze both sides and lift.
2. Connect the thermostat wires to the terminal screws on the
base of thermostat.
7. Use the 18-gauge wire as supplied for a maximum length of
20-feet. If a longer length is needed, use 16-gauge wire to
a maximum length of 25-feet.
8. Connect the thermostat wires to the control valve as shown
in Figure 17.
FACE PANEL-MOUNTED THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
1. Before removing the face panel, disconnect the thermostat
wires at the gas valve.
2. Locate the knockout on the right side of the furnace to
mount the thermostat. Remove the knockout by tapping it
lightly with a screwdriver (Figure 18). It will also be
necessary to cut a 1/2-inch hole in the inside panel
insulation for clearance to the knockout.
3. Cut the thermostat wire to 56 inches.
4. Connect the thermostat wires to terminal screws on the
thermostat base.
5. Feed the thermostat wires through the knockout and route
them through the metal clip to the gas valve.
6. Mount the thermostat to the side of the cabinet with screws
provided.
7. Replace the thermostat cover.
8. Connect the thermostat wires to the control valve as shown
in Figure 17.
3. Push any excess wire back through hole in the wall and
plug hole with insulation to prevent drafts from affecting
thermostat operation.
4. Be sure to level the thermostat for best appearance. Fasten
thermostat base to the wall through mounting holes with
screws provided.
5. Replace the thermostat cover.
6. Do not run wire in any location where it might be damaged.
Avoid splicing the thermostat wires unless the spliced wires
are properly cleaned, soldered and taped.

Installing Your Furnace
Start-Up Procedure
WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily
injury or loss of life. Liquefied Petroleum (L.P.) Gas
is heavier than air and may settle in any low area,
including open depressions and may remain there
unless area is ventilated. Never attempt start-up of
unit before thoroughly ventilating the area.
Check the furnace operation as outlined in the following
instructions. If any sparking, odors or unusual noises are
encountered, shut off electric power immediately. Recheck for
wiring errors or obstructions in or near fan motor (if equipped).
WARNING: Natural gas heating value (Btu per
cubic foot) can vary significantly. Therefore, it is
the installer's responsibility to see that Btu/hr. input
to the furnace is adjusted properly. Failure to do so
could cause combustion chamber failure,
asphyxiation, fire or explosion resulting in damage,
bodily injury or death. Refer to the National Fuel
Gas Code (NFPA 54) to be sure the furnace is
burning fuel at the proper rate.
CHECK GAS INPUT AND PRESSURES
For furnaces located at elevations between sea level and 4,500
feet, the measured input must not be greater than the input shown
on the nameplate of the furnace. For elevations above 4,500 feet,
the measured input must not exceed the input on the nameplate
reduced by 4 percent for each 1,000 feet that the furnace is above
sea level.
Gas supply pressure and manifold pressure with the burner(s)
operating must also be as specified on the nameplate.
Rated input will be obtained on a heating value of 2,500 Btu/hr. for
propane at 10-inches manifold pressure with factory-sized
orifices. If L.P. gas having a different heating value is supplied,
orifices must be changed by a qualified service technician before
the furnace is operated.
CHECK THE MANIFOLD GAS PRESSURE
A tapped opening is provided in the gas valve to facilitate
measuring manifold gas pressure. A water column manometer
having a scale range from 0 to 12-inches of water column should
be used for this measurement. The manifold pressure must be
measured with the burner and pilot operating. Any major changes
in the flow must be made by changing the size of the burner
orifice.
CHECK THE GAS INPUT (NATURAL GAS ONLY)
Under firing could cause inadequate heat, excessive
condensation or ignition problems. Over firing could cause
shooting flame impingement or overheating of the combustion
chamber. Before starting natural gas input check, obtain the
heating value of gas (Btu per cubic foot) at standard conditions
from your local gas supplier.
To measure the input, using the gas meter, proceed as follows:
1. Turn off gas supply to all other appliances except the
furnace.
2. With the furnace operating, time the smallest dial on the
meter for one complete revolution. If this is a 2-cubic-foot
dial, divide the seconds by 2. If it is a 1-cubic-foot dial, use
the time in seconds as is. This gives the seconds per cubic
foot of gas being delivered to the furnace.
3. Assuming natural gas with a heating value of 1,000 Btu per
cubic foot and 34-seconds per cubic foot used as
determined by step (2), then:
Seconds per hour = 3,600
Input = 1,000 x 3,600 / 34 = 106,000 Btu/hr.
This measured input must not be greater than the input
indicated on the nameplate of the furnace.
4. Relight all other appliances turned off in Step 1 above. Be
sure all pilots are operating.
CHECK THERMOSTAT
Check thermostat operation. When set above room temperature
shown on the thermostat, the main burner should light. Make
certain the thermostat turns off the furnace when the room
temperature reaches the selected setting and starts the furnace
when room temperature falls a few degrees below the thermostat
setting.

FIGURE 19 – Check Pilot Burner
FIGURE 20 – Burner Flame Characteristics
Operating Your Furnace
Start-Up Procedure (continued)
CHECK PILOT BURNER
The pilot flame must surround the generator tip from 1/4 to 3/8-
inches. Pilot flame is preset at the factory, so ordinarily it does not
require field adjustment. (Figure 19). On new installations, the
gas lines will be filled with air and may take several minutes to
establish a pilot flame.
BURNER FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
Start the furnace and let it operate at least ten minutes. Open the
access door to view the burner flame. Limit your movements near
the furnace a few more minutes before making your final
observations. The flame may look yellow due to dust particles in
the room air. The flame should change to a nice blue color with
firm inner and secondary cones. An occasional flash of orange
might be seen as dust particles burn in the flame. This is normal.
No burner adjustment is provided, or is necessary. (Figure 20).

2. Turn off all electric power to the appliance if service is to be
performed (if applicable).
3. Remove control access panel.
4. Push in gas control knob slightly and turn clockwise
to "OFF". Do not Force.
5. Replace control access panel.
THE FURNACE OPERATES IN THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE:
1. Thermostat turns on the main burner.
2. Heat builds up in the furnace and starts the fan (if
equipped). The heated air comes out the front panel
louvers.
3. When the thermostat setting is reached, it shuts off the main
burner.
4. The fan runs until the heat is removed from the furnace,
then it turns off (if equipped).
Your furnace is equipped with a 100% safety pilot that will shut off
the gas supply in case the pilot is not burning or functioning
properly. Make sure the pilot is adjusted properly and that the
pilot generator connection at the control valve is tight. If the
furnace will not stay lit, call your local gas utility or a qualified
service person.
If furnace is equipped with a manual spark igniter, follow these
steps:
1. Review the pilot lighting instructions.
WARNING: Due to high surface temperatures,
keep children, clothing, furniture or any combustible
material away from the furnace.
WARNING: The surface of the furnace is hot
during operation. Keep children, clothing, furniture,
and flammable material away from it. Keep all
access doors and panels in place except for
inspection and maintenance. On new installations,
the gas lines will be filled with air and it may take
several minutes to establish the pilot flame.
WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily
injury or death. If the furnace overheats or fails to
shut off, close manual shutoff gas valve to the
furnace before turning off electrical power to the
accessory fan.
2. When instructed to “Light the Pilot,” depress the red button
located on the burner pan for pilot ignition. If necessary,
depress the red button vigorously several times for pilot
ignition.
3. If pilot fails to ignite or a spark is not present while actuating
the red button or by using a match, repeat steps 5 through
10 listed in "Lighting the Pilot.”

box or service panel before removing any doors or
access service panels from unit.
ANNUAL UPKEEP NEEDED
It is recommended that a qualified service technician perform
these maintenance checks at the beginning of each heating
season.
CABINET FINISH
Clean cabinet with damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners.
Cabinets are finished with heat resistant powder paint. Never
refinish or paint.
FURNACE AREA
Keep the area near the furnace clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids and vapors.
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR
PILOT BURNER
Using the instructions in "Lighting the Pilot”, leave thermostat at its
lowest setting. Pilot flame should surround the generator tip 1/4
to 3/8-inches. If flame needs adjusting, do so as follows:
1. Insert small screwdriver into the pilot adjusting screw
(Figure 23). Adjust flame as needed. Turn screw
counterclockwise to increase flame, clockwise to decrease.
2. Turn thermostat to highest setting. Main burner should light
quickly and smoothly. Turn thermostat to lowest setting.
Main burner should go out. Pilot should remain lit.
The combustion and ventilation air supply must not be blocked.
Do not put anything in or on the furnace cabinet. For better
circulation and more effective heating, do not place obstructions,
furniture or other items closer than four-feet in front of the furnace
or two-feet from each side of the furnace.
CLEANING BLOWER (IF APPLICABLE)
Shut off electricity. Clean any lint or dirt from fan blades, fan
motor and exposed air passages.
BURNER CLEANING
If cleaning is required, contact a qualified service technician to
clean and service burner. To remove burner(s):
1. Open burner compartment door.
2. Shut off gas supply to furnace.
3. Disconnect gas line inside cabinet at ground joint union
fitting. (Figure 24).
4. Remove (2) screws securing burner pan assembly to inner
liner.
5. Pull burner pan assembly forward approximately 1/2-inch
and drop down to expose the top of the burner.

Installing Your Blower Accessory
DANGER: The build-up of any dust, lint or foreign
material in the primary air opening of the burner
can interfere with the proper air gas mixture and
can result in a yellow flame which can produce
carbon monoxide and soot. This condition, if
allowed to develop, can lead to bodily injury
including death. It is imperative that the burner be
kept clean.
CAUTION: Danger of property damage, bodily
injury or death. Turn off electric power supply at
the disconnect switch, fuse box or service panel
before removing or working on the fan cabinet.
Caring for Your Furnace
How to Care for Your Furnace (continued)
CLEANING THE BURNER COMPARTMENT
Because cold air is attracted to the flame during furnace
operation, a buildup of lint from carpeting, bedding, dust, etc. in
the burner area will occur. It is necessary to clean this area
regularly. Use a vacuum cleaner with a narrow attachment to
reach small areas. Be careful in and around the pilot. A change
in its adjustment could be made if moved during cleaning. A
properly adjusted burner with nearly all gases will produce a flame
which has clear blue cone having a bluish-red or bluish-violet
outer mantle.
Blower Accessory 2901 and 2907
This blower accessory is installed on the furnace top and
increases circulation of warm air through the heated space. A
115V electrical outlet adjacent to the furnace is required. For

Motorized Rear Outlet Register 6919 and 6920
WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily injury or
death. Turn off all electrical power supply at disconnect switch,
fuse box or service panel before removing or working on fan.
For your protection against shock hazard, this appliance is
equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle. Do not cut or remove the prong. All electrical work
must conform to your local codes and ordinances or in their
absence, with National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70. In
Canada, use the Canadian Electrical Code C22.1. If you are
not familiar with the wiring codes in general, have a competent
electrician do this job.
MOTORIZED REAR OUTLET REGISTER 6919 AND 6920
This Rear Outlet Register directs some of the heated air into the
room opposite the one in which the furnace is installed. Read
these instructions carefully and familiarize yourself with the
installation before you begin. Use gloves to protect your hands
from sharp metal edges.
BLOWER SETTINGS
You must select "ON" for continuous blower operation or "AUTO"
for automatic setting. If the blower is set on "AUTO" when the
furnace heats up, the heat sensor switch is activated and the
blower will operate until the furnace cools down, then the blower
will turn off. The blower will not operate if fan switch is set in the
"OFF" (center) position.
LOCATION WARNING
This register must be centered between studs and aligned with
the furnace for proper engagement. Make sure the furnace is
centered between the same studs before you cut any wall
openings for the register.
1. Measure and mark wall for opening as shown in Figure A.
Check the wall for any electrical wiring present before
cutting the opening. Reroute existing electrical if necessary.
4. Attach speed nuts to the outer shield (Figure B). After the
furnace is in position, insert the outlet register into the
opening as shown in Figures C, D and E. Install machine
screws through the register housing and into the speed nut
clips on the furnace outer shield. Do not over tighten the
screws.
5. After the register has been either wired, (Figure F), or
plugged in, set the fan switch to the desired blower
operation.
CAUTION: Do not install this kit where the outlet grille
may be blocked or covered by a door, curtains or any
other obstructions.
2. If recessed-mounted installation, place the plaster ground in
the opening and attach to the 2x4 studs.
3. An embossed knockout plate is located on the rear of the
outer shield and another is located directly behind it on the
inner shield. (Figure B). Remove the knockout plates on
the furnace by punching in the lower corners of the plate
with a screwdriver blade. Then, holding the screwdriver
blade sideways against the side and bottom connecting
tabs, strike the head of the screwdriver lightly with a
hammer to break the tabs. Swing the plate outward and
bend it back and forth to break the top tabs. Both knockout
plates must be removed in order to attach the register
assembly properly. If the inner shield knockout is not
embossed deep enough to be removed easily, mark an
outline using the existing opening as a guide. Use tin snips
to cut the area away. A pilot hole may be needed to begin
the first cut. Take care not to damage the combustion
chamber directly behind the inner shield when making a
pilot hole.
