FIRE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal

injury, death and/or property damage.
Do not install the furnace on its back or hang furnace with

control compartment facing downward. Safety control

operation will be adversely affected. Never connect

return--air ducts to the back of the furnace. (See Fig. 6.)

!

WARNING

A02054

Fig. 6 -- Prohibit Installation on Back

FURNACE CORROSION HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in furnace damage.
Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen

compounds, which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and

iodide. These elements can corrode heat exchangers and

shorten furnace life. Air contaminants are found in aerosol

sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air

fresheners, and other household products.

CAUTION

!

LOCATION RELATIVE TO COOLING EQUIPMENT
The cooling coil must be installed parallel with, or on the

downstream side of the unit to avoid condensation in the heat
exchangers. When installed parallel with the furnace, dampers or

other flow control must prevent chilled air from entering the

furnace. If the dampers are manually operated, they must be
equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless

the damper is in the full--heat or full--cool position.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND

VENTILATION

Provisions for adequate combustion, ventilation, and dilution air

must be provided in accordance with:

S

U.S. installations: Section 9.3 of the NFGC
NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1--2006, Air for Combustion and
Ventilation, and applicable provisions of the local

building codes.

!

WARNING

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

or death.
The operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation fans,

clothes dryers, attic exhaust fans or fireplaces could create a

NEGATIVE PRESSURE CONDITION at the furnace.

Make--up air MUST be provided for the ventilation devices,

in addition to that required by the furnace. Refer to Carbon

Monoxide Poisoning Hazard warning in venting section of

these instructions to determine if an adequate amount of

make--up air is available.

S

Canadian installations: Part 8 of the
CAN/CSA--B149.1--05, Venting Systems and Air
Supply for Appliances, and all authorities having

jurisdiction.

The requirements for combustion and ventilation air depend upon

whether or not the furnace is located in a space having a volume
of at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh input rating for all gas

appliances installed in the space.

S

Spaces having less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh
require the OUTDOOR COMBUSTION AIR

METHOD.

S

Spaces having at least 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btuh
may use the INDOOR COMBUSTION AIR,

STANDARD or KNOWN AIR INFILTRATION
METHOD.

Outdoor Combustion Air Method

1. Provide the space with sufficient air for proper

combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases using

permanent horizontal or vertical duct(s) or opening(s)
directly communicating with the outdoors or spaces that

freely communicate with the outdoors.

2. Fig. 7 illustrates how to provide TWO OUTDOOR

OPENINGS, one inlet and one outlet combustion and

ventilation airopening, to the outdoors.
