When installed, this furnace must be electrically grounded
according to local codes. In addition, in the United States,
installation must conform with the current National
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70. The National Electric
Code (ANSI/NFPA No. 70) is available from the following
address:
National Fire Protection Association
1 Battery March Park
Quincy, MA 02269
NOTE: This furnace is designed for a minimum continuous
return air temperature of 60° F (16°C) or an intermittent
operation down to 55° F (13°C) dry bulb for cases where
a night setback thermostat is used. Return air temperature
must not exceed 85° F (29°C) dry bulb.
This furnace may be installed in alcoves, closets, attics,
basements, garages, and utility rooms in the upow or
horizontal position.
This furnace design has not been CSA certied for
installation in mobile homes, recreational vehicles, or
outdoors.
Use of Furnace as a Construction Heater
Allied Air does not recommended the use of these units
as a construction heater during any phase of construction.
Very low return air temperature, harmful vapors and
operation of the unit with clogged or misplaced lters will
damage the unit.
Units may be used for heating of buildings or structures
under construction, if the following conditions are met:
• The vent system must be permanently installed per
these installation instructions.
• A room thermostat must control the furnace. The use
of xed jumpers that will provide continuous heating is
not allowed.
• The return air duct must be provided and sealed to the
furnace.
• Return air temperature range between 60°F (16°C)
and 80°F (27°C) must be maintained.
• Air lters must be installed in the system and must be
maintained during construction.
• Air lters must be replaced upon construction
completion.
• The input rate and temperature rise must be set per
the furnace rating plate.
• One hundred percent (100%) outdoor air must be
provided for combustion air requirements during
construction. Temporary ducting may supply outdoor
air to the furnace. Do not connect duct directly to
the furnace. Size the temporary duct following these
instructions in section for Combustion, Dilution and
Ventilation Air in a conned space with air from outside.
• The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct
system, air lters and evaporator coils must be
thoroughly cleaned following nal construction clean-
up.
• All furnace operating conditions (including ignition,
input rate, temperature rise and venting) must be
veried according to these installation instructions.
General
These instructions are intended as a general guide and do
not supersede local codes in any way. Consult authorities
having jurisdiction before installation.
In addition to the requirements outlined previously, the
following general recommendations must be considered
when installing one of these furnaces:
• Place the furnace as close to the center of the air
distribution system as possible. The furnace should
also be located close to the chimney or vent termination
point.
• Do not install the furnace where drafts might blow
directly into it. This could cause improper combustion.
• Do not block the furnace combustion air openings with
clothing, boxes, doors, etc. Air is needed for proper
combustion and safe unit operation.
• When the furnace is installed in an attic or other
insulated space, keep insulation away from the
furnace.
NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts stipulates
these additional requirements:
• Gas furnaces shall be installed by a licensed plumber
or tter only.
• The gas cock must be “T handle” type.
