INTRODUCTION
The Series 150/F 4--way multipoise Category I fan--assisted
furnace is CSA (formerly A.G.A. and C.G.A.) design--certified. A
Category I fan--assisted furnace is an appliance equipped with an
integral mechanical means to either draw or force products of
combustion through the combustion chamber and/or heat
exchanger. The furnace is factory--shipped for use with natural
gas. This furnace is not approved for installation in mobile
homes, recreational vehicles, or outdoors.

Fig. 2 -- Return Air Temperature
This furnace is designed for minimum continuous return--air
temperature of 60_F (15_C) db or intermittent operation down to
55_F (13_C)db such as when used with a night setback
thermostat. Return--air temperature must not exceed 80_F (27_C)
db. Failure to follow these return--air temperature limits may
affect reliability of heat exchangers, motors, and controls. (See
Fig. 2.)
For accessory installation details, refer to the applicable
instruction literature.
NOTE: Remove all shipping brackets and materials before
operating the furnace.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)
PRECAUTIONS PROCEDURE
FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in unit component
damage.
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components.
Take precautions during furnace installation and servicing
to protect the furnace electronic control. Precautions will
prevent electrostatic discharges from personnel and hand
tools which are held during the procedure. These
precautions will help to avoid exposing the control to
electrostatic discharge by putting the furnace, the control,
and the person at the same electrostatic potential.
CAUTION
!
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Multiple disconnects
may be required. DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL OR
ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL PRIOR
TO
DISCHARGING YOUR BODY’S
ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE TO GROUND.
2. Firmly touch the clean, unpainted, metal surface of the fur-
nace chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in a
person’s hand during grounding will be satisfactorily dis-
charged.
3. After touching the chassis, you may proceed to service the
control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing to
recharge your body with static electricity (for example;
DO NOT move or shuffle your feet, do not touch un-
grounded objects, etc.).
