NOTE: This manual is the property of the homeowner and
must be left with the equipment user.
Notice to Homeowner
This furnace is equipped with safety devices that protect
you and your property. If one or more of these devices
is activated, furnace operation will stop. If your home is
left unattended for an extended period of time, equipment
operation must be checked periodically. If this is not
possible, the water supply to the house should be shut off
and the pipes should be drained. This will prevent problems
associated with a NO HEAT condition (frozen pipes, etc.).
Before attempting to perform any service or
maintenance, turn the electrical power to unit OFF at
the disconnect switch.
CAUTION
Do not set thermostat below 60° F (16° C) in heating
mode. Setting thermostat below 60° F (16° C) reduces
the number of heating cycles. Damage to the unit may
occur that is not covered by the warranty.
WARNING
If overheating occurs or if gas supply fails to shut off,
shut off the manual gas valve to the furnace before
shutting off electrical supply.
WARNING
Do not use this furnace if any part has been underwater.
A ood-damaged furnace is extremely dangerous.
Attempts to use the furnace can result in re or
explosion. Immediately call a licensed professional
service technician (or equivalent) to inspect the furnace
and to replace all gas controls, control system parts,
and electrical parts that have been wet or to replace the
furnace, if deemed necessary.
WARNING
Any additions, changes, or conversions required in order
for the appliance to satisfactorily meet the application
needs must be made by a licensed professional installer
(or equivalent) using factory-specied and approved
parts.
NOTICE
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause property damage, personal
injury or loss of life. Installation and service must be
performed by a licensed professional installer (or
equivalent), a service agency, or the gas supplier.
WARNING
Safety Instructions
1. Keep the furnace area clear and free of combustible
material, gasoline, and other ammable vapors and
liquids. If it is installed in an insulated area, the furnace
must be kept free of insulating material. Insulating
material may be combustible.
2. After any heavy snow, ice or frozen fog event, the
furnace vent pipes may become restricted. Always
check the vent system and remove any snow or ice
that may be obstructing the exhaust pipe and intake
pipe (where applicable).
3. DO NOT obstruct air ow to unit. Unit must receive
an unobstructed ow of combustion and ventilating air.
DO NOT block or obstruct air openings on the furnace
or air openings to the area in which the furnace is
installed. Take care to maintain established clearances
surrounding the furnace.
4. DO NOT store chlorine or uorine products near unit
or introduce these products into the combustion air.
These products can cause furnace corrosion.
5. DO NOT draw return air from a room where this
furnace, or any other gas appliance (ie., a water
heater), is installed. When return air is drawn from a
room, a negative pressure is created in the room. If
a gas appliance is operating in a room with negative
pressure, the ue products can be pulled back down
the vent pipe and into the room. This reverse ow of
the ue gas may result in incomplete combustion and
the formation of carbon monoxide gas. This toxic gas
might then be distributed throughout the house by the
furnace duct system.
