Operating instructions

NOTE: Side return-air openings can ONLY be used in UPFLOW
configurations. Install filter(s) as shown in Fig. 23. Bottom
return-air opening may be used with all 4 orientations. Filter may
need to be cut to fit some furnace widths. Install filter as shown in
Fig. 24.
NOTE: Remove and discard bottom closure panel when bottom
inlet is used.
VI. BOTTOM CLOSURE PANEL
These furnaces are shipped with bottom enclosure panel installed
in bottom return-air opening. This panel MUST be in place when
side return air is used.
To remove bottom closure panel, perform following:
1. Tilt or raise furnace and remove 2 screws holding front
filler panel. (See Fig. 25.)
2. Rotate front filler panel downward to release holding tabs.
3. Remove bottom closure panel.
4. Reinstall front filler panel and screws.
VII. GAS PIPING
Gas piping must be installed in accordance with national and local
codes. Refer to current edition of NFGC in the United States.
Canadian installations must be made in accordance with NSCNG-
PIC and all authorities having jurisdiction. Gas supply line should
be a separate line running directly from meter to furnace, if
possible. Refer to Table 3 for recommended gas pipe sizing. Risers
must be used to connect to furnace and to meter. Support all gas
piping with appropriate straps, hangers, etc. Use a minimum of 1
hanger every 6 ft. Joint compound (pipe dope) should be applied
sparingly and only to male threads of joints. Pipe dope must be
resistant to propane gas.
CAUTION: Connect gas pipe to furnace using a backup
wrench to avoid damaging gas controls. Failure to follow
this caution will result in intermittent unit operation or
performance satisfaction.
WARNING: Gas valve shutoff switch MUST be facing
forward or tilted upward. Failure to follow this warning
could result in property damage or death.
