and ordinances, especially those that may not have kept pace withchanging residential construction practices. We require theseinstructions as a minimum for a safe installation.Application of this furnace should be indoors with specialattention given to vent sizing and material, gas input rate, airtemperature rise, and unit sizing. Improper installation ormisapplication of the furnace can require excessive servicingor cause premature component failure.Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, mainte-nance, or use can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, explo-sion, fire, electrical shock, or other conditions which maycause personal injury or property damage. Consult a qualifiedinstaller, service agency, local gas supplier, or your distribu-tor or branch for information or assistance. The qualifiedinstaller or agency must use only factory-authorized andlisted kits or accessories when modifying this product. Failureto follow this warning can cause electrical shock, fire,personal injury, or death.For accessory installation details, refer to the applicable instructionliterature.NOTE: Remove all shipping brackets and materials beforeoperating the furnace.Step 1—LocationGENERAL — This furnace must be installed so the electricalcomponents are protected from water. This furnace shall not beinstalled directly on carpeting, tile, or any combustible materialother than wood flooring.Do not install furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmo-sphere. Make sure all combustion and circulating air require-ments are met, in addition to all local codes and ordinances.Do not use this furnace during construction when adhesives,sealers, and/or new carpets are being installed. If the furnaceis required during construction, use clean outside air forcombustion and ventilation. Compounds of chlorine andfluorine when burned with combustion air form acids whichcause corrosion of the heat exchangers and metal vent system.Some of these compounds are found in paneling and dry walladhesives, paints, thinners, masonry cleaning materials, andmany other solvents commonly used in the constructionprocess.Excessive exposure to contaminated combustion air willresult in safety and performance related problems.DO NOT install the furnace on its back or sides. Safetycontrol operation will be adversely affected. A failure tofollow this warning can cause a fire, personal injury, or death.Locate furnace as close to the chimney/vent and as near the centerof the air distribution system as possible. The furnace should beinstalled as level as possible.Provide ample space for servicing and cleaning. Always complywith the minimum fire protection clearances shown on the unitrating plate.LOCATION RELATIVE TO COOLING EQUIPMENT — Thecooling coil must be installed parallel with or on the downstreamside of the unit to avoid condensation in the heat exchangers.When installed parallel with a furnace, dampers or other meansused to control the flow of air must prevent chilled air fromentering the unit. If the dampers are manually operated, they mustbe equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unlessthe damper is in the full-heat or full-cool position.HAZARDOUS LOCATIONSNOTE: These furnaces are designed for a minimum continuousreturn-air temperature of 60°F or intermittent operation down to55°F such as when used with a night setback thermostat. Return-airtemperature must not exceed a maximum of 85°F. Failure tofollow these return-air temperature limits may affect reliability ofheat exchangers, motors, and controls.A93042FRONTRETURNAIRMAX 85°F MIN 55°F°F °FWhen furnace is installed in a residential garage, it must beinstalled so that burners and ignition sources are located aminimum of 18 in. above floor. The furnace must be locatedor protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles. Whenfurnace is installed in a public garage, airplane hangar, orother building having a hazardous atmosphere, unit must beinstalled in accordance with requirements of National FireProtection Association, Inc.A9304418-IN.
