Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service,

or maintenance can cause injury or property damage.

Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional

information, consult a qualied installer or service

agency.

WARNING

Do not store combustible materials, including gasoline

and other ammable vapors and liquids, near the

furnace, vent pipe, or warm air ducts. The homeowner

should be cautioned that the furnace area must not

be used as a broom closet or for any other storage

purposes. Such uses may result in actions that could

cause property damage, personal injury, or death.

WARNING

The installation of the furnace, wiring, warm air ducts, venting, etc. must conform to the requirements of the National Fire

Protection Association Standard for the Installation of Oil Burning Equipment, NFPA No. 31; the National Electrical Code,

ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (in the USA); the Installation Code for Oil Burning Equipment, CSA Standard CAN/CSA B139 (in

Canada); the Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, CSA 22.1; the Recommendations of the National Environmental Systems

Contractors Association; and any state or provincial laws or local ordinances. Local authorities having jurisdiction should

be consulted before installation is made. Such applicable regulations or requirements take precedence over the general

instructions in this manual.

CAUTION

Never burn garbage or paper in the heating system and

never leave rags, paper, or any ammable items around

the unit.

Location Installation Locate the furnace as centrally as possible so that all warm pipes to the various rooms are nearly the same length. This allows each room to receive an equal and proper amount of heat. This may vary with each particular installation. Position the furnace so the pipe connection to the chimney will be of minimum distance and have a minimum of fittings. WARNING This furnace is not approved for installation in a mobile home. Do not install this furnace in a mobile home.

Non-Suspended Horizontal Installation To support the furnace from below, set the furnace on non -combustible material suitable to support the weight of the unit. Using a carpenter’s level, check furnace in at least two directions. To make adjustments, use shims of noncombustible material. Seven inches minimum clearance between the bottom of the flue pipe and combustible material is required.

Combustion and Ventilation Air WARNING Adequate provisions for combustion air, ventilation of furnace, and dilution of the gases must be made. When a furnace is installed in an unconfined space in a building, it can be assumed that infiltration will be sufficient to supply the required air. If the furnace is installed in a confined space and combustion air is taken from the heated space, the supply air and ventilating air must be through two permanent openings of equal area.

1. Local building codes may have more stringent installation requirements and should be consulted before installation of the unit. 2. The flue pipe should be as short as possible to do the job. 3. The internal diameter of the flue pipe or vent connector shall equal the outlet diameter of the flue opening of the appliance. If the flue vent collar is larger or smaller than the flue pipe, a gradual transition piece shall be used and the system shall be tested to ensure that adequate draft is provided. 4.

Front Flue Front Flue Rear Flue * Barometric control must be installed in the horizontal venting system and located within 18” of the flue outlet of the furnace. Rear Flue Figure 8. Masonry Chimney * Barometric control may be installed in either the vertical or horizontal section of the flue pipe within 18” of the flue outlet of the furnace. Barometric draft control must be used in the horizontal venting (sidewall) system. It must be located within 18” of the furnace flue outlet (see Figure 8).
PAGE 9
Removal of Unit from Common Venting System When an existing furnace is removed from a common venting system service other appliances, the venting system is likely to be too large to properly vent the remaining attached appliances. The following test should be conducted with each appliance while the other appliances connected to the common venting system are not in operation. 1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system. 2.

Thermostat Electrical Wiring Locate the thermostat on an inside wall in a room usually occupied during the day, such as a living room or dining room, at a height of 4-1/2” from the floor. Avoid direct sunlight or supply air from a register. Make sure the location is not adjacent to appliances such as ovens or lights. Wire the thermostat with minimum of #18 AWG thermostat wire. All wiring must conform to the National Electrical Code, the Canadian Electrical Code, and any local codes.

energized whenever the thermostat calls for heat, cooling, or continuous blower. Refer to the furnace wiring diagram for specific connection information (see also Figure 10). CAUTION Do Not start burner unless blower access door is secured in place. Filters Burner Start-Up Upflow and Horizontal/Counterflow Air filters are not factory supplied with these models. Filters must be installed in the return duct system. Optional filter kits are available. Contact the supplier to obtain the correct filter kit.

4. Power to the burner is interrupted, thus shutting down the burner. Blower A direct drive blower motor contained within the furnace is equipped with adjustable blower On and Off delays. These delays are set by DIP switches located on the control board. Refer to Table 3 for DIP switch selection settings. The standard setting for oil-fired furnaces is 60 second On delay and 2 minute Off delay. DIP Switch 2 Section State 3 4 Heat Exchanger To clean the heat exchanger: 1.
