4 441 01 2611 06Frozen Water Pipe HazardFROZEN AND BURST WATER PIPE HAZARDFaiIure to protect against the risk of freezing couldresult in property damage and/or personal injury.Do not leave your home unattended for long periodsduring freezing weather without turning off watersupply and draining water pipes or otherwiseprotecting against the risk of frozen pipes andresultant damage.! WARNINGYour furnace is designed solely to provide a safe and comfortableliving environment. The furnace is NOT designed to ensure thatwater pipes will not freeze. It is equipped with several safety de-vices that are designed to turn the furnace off and prevent it fromrestarting in the event of various potentially unsafe conditions.If your furnace remains off for an extended time, the pipes in yourhome could freeze and burst, resulting in serious water damage.If the structure will be unattended during cold weather you shouldtake these precautions.1. Turn off the water supply to the structure and drain the waterlines if possible and add an antifreeze for potable water todrain traps and toilet tanks. Open faucets in appropriateareas.--or--2. Have someone check the structure frequently during coldweather to make sure it is warm enough to prevent pipesfrom freezing. Instruct them on a service agency to call toprovide service, if required.--or--3. Install a reliable remote sensing device that will notify some-body of freezing conditions within the home.2. InstallationCARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD.Failure to properly vent this furnace or otherappliances could result in death, personal injuryand/or property damage.If this furnace is replacing a previously common-vented furnace, it may be necessary to resize theexisting vent system to prevent oversizingproblems for the other remaining appliances(s).See Venting and Combustion Air Check in the 5. GasVent Installation section of this instruction.! WARNINGLocation and ClearancesIf furnace is a replacement, it is usually best to install the furnacewhere the old one was. Choose the location or evaluate the exist-ing location based upon the minimum clearance and furnace di-mensions (Figure 1 or Figure 2).CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD.Failure to follow safety warnings could result inserious injury, death, or property damage.Do NOT operate furnace in a corrosiveatmosphere containing chlorine, fluorine or anyother damaging chemicals which could harm thefurnace and vent system, and permit spillage ofcombustion products into an occupied space.Refer to 4. Combustion & Ventilation Air section,Contaminated Combustion Air for combustion airevaluation and remedy.! WARNINGInstallation Requirements1. Install furnace level.2. This furnace is NOT to be used for temporary heat of buildingsor structures under construction.3. Install furnace as centralized as practical with respect to theheat distribution system.4. Install the vent pipes as short as practical. (See 5. Gas VentInstallation section).5. Do NOT install furnace directly on carpeting, tile or other com-bustible material other than wood flooring.6. Maintain clearance for fire safety and servicing. A front clear-ance of 30 is minimum for access to the burner, controls andfilter. See clearance requirements in Figure 1 or Figure 2.7. Use a raised base if the floor is damp or wet at times.8. Residential garage installations require: Burners and ignition sources installed at least 18 (457mm) above the floor. Furnace must be located or physically protected frompossible damage by a vehicle.9. If the furnace is to be suspended from the floor joists in a base-ment or a crawl space or the rafters in an attic, it is necessary touse steel pipe straps or an angle iron frame to attach the fur-nace. These straps should be attached to the furnace bottomside with sheet metal screws and to the rafters or joists withbolts. The preferred method is to use an angle iron framebolted to the rafters or joists.10. This furnace may be used for construction heat provided that: The furnace is permanently installed with all electricalwiring, piping, venting and ducting installed according tothese installation instructions. A return air duct is pro-vided, sealed to the furnace casing, and terminated out-side the space containing the furnace. This prevents anegative pressure condition as created by the circulatingair blower, causing a flame rollout and/or drawing com-bustion products into the structure. The furnace is controlled by a thermostat. It may not be“hot wired” to provide heat continuously to the structurewithout thermostatic control. Clean outside air is provided for combustion. This is tominimize the corrosive effects of adhesives, sealers andother construction materials. It also prevents the entrain-ment of drywall dust into combustion air, which can causefouling and plugging of furnace components. The temperature of the return air to the furnace is main-tained between 55 F (13 C) and 80 F (27 C) , with noevening setback or shutdown. The use of the furnacewhile the structure is under construction is deemed to beintermittent operation per our installation instructions.
