DRAINAGE OF CONDENSATE
FROM FURNACE

!

WARNING:

The condensate produced by the furnace
must be drained. Do not connect a water
supply to the drainage hose of the
furnace.

NOTE: The condensate drain should be pro-
tected from freezing when in unheated spaces.

The furnace is supplied with an internal conden-
sate drain trap.

!

CAUTION:

Do not install additional traps in the
condensate drain.

The condensate drain may exit through the left
side panel, the right side panel, or through the
left or right hole on the bottom panel. (See Figure
21). Ensure that the flexible drain hose is not
kinked.

The condensate should drain from the plastic
collector box (location A in Figure 21) as drop-
lets or a small stream. If you notice the furnace
has operated for more than 5 minutes without
draining or the red status light on the control
board is pulsing a 2-blink code follow the steps
below.

Note: If terminations meet-
ing these vertical require-
ments exceed the maximum
height for safe transit, the
vent and combustion air in-
takes may be shipped with
the home for assembly on
site. The furnace must be
labeled to notify the installer/
user not to use the furnace
until the vent and combus-
tion air intake terminations
are installed.
