Multipoise,
Gas-Fired, Condensing Furnaces are
among the soundest investments
today’s homeowner can make.
Your new furnace is truly a triumph
of technology in home heating. A
revolutionary design employs 2 heat
exchangers to “squeeze” out the maxi-
mum amount of heat from the fuel con-
sumed. In fact, your new furnace is so
efficient, over 90%* of the heat gener-
ated during combustion is captured and
delivered inside your home. That is
more than a 33%* increase in heating
efficiency over conventional furnaces.
These are among the most energy-effi-
cient furnaces you can buy today. They
also are among the safest and most
dependable. We are proud of the tech-
nological advances incorporated into
the design of these furnaces. With only
minimal care, your new furnace will
deliver many years of money-saving
home comfort and enjoyment. Spend
just a few minutes with this manual to
learn the operation of your new fur-
nace and the small amount of mainte-
nance it takes to help keep it operating
at peak efficiency year after year.
* The output capacity and any representations of efficiency
for this furnace are based on standard U.S. Department of
Energy test procedures.
