CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to follow the steps outlined below for each

appliance connected to the venting system being placed

into operation, could result in carbon monoxide

poisoning or death:
The following steps shall be followed for each appliance

connected to the venting system being placed into

operation, while all other appliances connected to the

venting system are not in operation:

1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and

horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas

Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or CSA B149.1, Natural

Gas and Propane Installation Code and these

instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or

restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies

which could cause an unsafe condition.

3. As far as practical, close all building doors and

windows and all doors between the space in which the

appliance(s) connected to the venting system are

located and other spaces of the building.

4. Close fireplace dampers.
5. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not

connected to the venting system. Turn on any exhaust

fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so

they are operating at maximum speed. Do not operate

a summer exhaust fan.

6. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the appliance

being inspected into operation. Adjust the thermostat

so appliance is operating continuously.

7. Test for spillage from draft hood equipped appliances

at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of

main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or

candle. (Fig. 6.)

8. If improper venting is observed, during any of the

above tests, the venting system must be corrected in

accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54
and/or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and

Propane Installation Code.

9. After it has been determined that each appliance

connected to the venting system properly vents when

tested as outlined above, return doors, windows,

exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other

gas--fired burning appliance to their previous

conditions of use.

WARNING

For Two Pipe Installation (Direct Vent)

This furnace can NOT be common vented or connected to any

type B, BW or L vent or vent connector, nor to any portion of a

factory--built or masonry chimney. If this furnace is replacing a

previously common-vented furnace, it may be necessary to resize

the existing vent and chimney to prevent oversizing problems for

the other remaining appliance(s). See “Venting and Combustion

Air Check” in this section. This furnace MUST be vented to the

outside.

VENT AND COMBUSTION AIR PIPING

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or

death.
Use methods described here to provide combustion and

ventilation air.

!

WARNING

Dual Certified (359AAV Models)

This furnace is certified as a category IV appliance. This furnace

can be installed as a direct vent furnace using outside air for

combustion or the furnace can use air from inside the structure

for combustion. The INLET air pipe is optional. If combustion

air comes from inside the structure, adequate make up air MUST

be provided to compensate for oxygen burned. See Confined

Space Installation in the Combustion and Ventilation Air

chapter. If combustion air is drawn from outside the structure, it

MUST be taken from the same atmospheric pressure zone as the

vent pipe.

Contaminated Combustion Air

Installations in certain areas or types of structures will increase

the exposure to chemicals or halogens that may harm the furnace.
The following areas or types of structures may contain or have

exposure to the substances listed below. The installation must be

evaluated carefully as it may be necessary to provide outside air

for combustion.

S

Commercial buildings.

S

Buildings with indoor pools.

S

Furnaces installed in laundry rooms.

S

Furnaces installed in hobby or craft rooms.
