About The Furnace
The MG2S furnace is designed only for indoor installations
and can be readily connected to the high static duct
system of a home. Units are approved for single/multistory
residential or mobile/modular/manufactured structures in
freestanding/closet/alcove downflow only configurations.
This appliance will provide many years of safe and
dependable comfort, providing it is properly installed
and maintained. Abuse, improper use, and/or improper
maintenance can shorten the life of the appliance and
create unsafe hazards. Please read all instructions before
installing the unit.
Approved installation, operation, and maintenance of
this appliance must be in accordance with the listed
specifications contained in these instructions and other
documents supplied with the furnace and/or optional air
conditioning equipment. Unless it is noted differently in this
manual, only use factory authorized kits and accessories on
this appliance. Refer to local authorities having jurisdiction
for further information.
Before You Install this Furnace
√ This equipment is securely packaged at the time of
shipment and upon arrival should be carefully inspected
for damage prior to installing the equipment at the job
site. Claims for damage (apparent or concealed) should
be filed immediately with the carrier.
√ Check the electrical supply and verify the power supply
is adequate for unit operation. The system must be wired
and provided with circuit protection in accordance with
local building codes. If there is any question concerning
the power supply, contact the local power company.
√ Verify the air delivery of the furnace is adequate to
handle the static pressure drop of the coil, filter, and
duct work.
Locating the Unit
• The dimensions of the room or alcove must be able to
accommodate the overall size of the unit and required
clearances to combustible materials listed in Table 1,
(page 5). Access for positioning and servicing must
also be considered when locating the unit. To determine
the required clearances needed for installation and
combustible materials, refer to Figure 23 (page 29)
& Figure 24 (page 30) for overall dimensions.
• The furnace must be installed on a solid surface
and must be level front-to-back and side-to-side at
installation. The surface that the furnace is mounted
on must provide sound physical support of the unit.
• The furnace should be installed as close to the center
of the air distribution system as possible and attached
to a properly installed duct system. Do not use the
back of the furnace for return air. See page 11
for circulating requirements.
• The furnace must be installed so that all electrical
components are protected from water.
• The plenum attached to the A/C coil box and ductwork
within 3 ft. of the furnace must be installed so that
surfaces are at least 1/4” from combustible construction.
• When installed in a residential garage, the furnace must
be positioned so the burners and the source of the
ignition are located no less than 18 inches above the
floor and protected from physical damage by vehicles.
• This furnace is certified for use on wood flooring
or supports, but must not be installed directly on
carpeting, tile, or any combustible material other than
wood flooring. NOTE: The furnace may be installed on
combustible flooring when installed on a manufacturer’s
approved duct connector (Figure 8). This factory
supplied accessory must be installed in the floor cavity
and attached to the supply air duct before the downflow
furnace is installed.
• The furnace must be installed upstream from a
refrigeration system.
NOTES:
With reducer installed: Opening to duct is 10-1/4” x 13-1/4”.
With reducer removed: Opening to duct is 13-1/4” x 13-1/4”.
