SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due to
gas and electrical components. Only trained and qualified person-
nel should install, repair, or service heating equipment. Untrained
personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as clean-
ing and replacing air filters. All other operations must be per-
formed by trained service personnel. When working on heating
equipment, observe precautions in literature, on tags, and on labels
attached to or shipped with unit and other safety precautions that
may apply.
Follow all safety codes, including NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1-1996,
National Fuel Gas Code and ANSI/NFPA 90B, Installation Stan-
dards, Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems. In
Canada, refer to the current edition of the National Standard of
Canada CAN/CGA-B-149. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
Have a fire extinguisher available during start-up and adjustment
procedures and service calls.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol.
When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or
manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.

Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAU-
TION. These words are used with the safety-alert symbol. DAN-
GER identifies most serious hazards which will result in severe
personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards which
could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to
identify unsafe practices which would result in minor personal
injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight
suggestions which will result in enhanced installation, reliability,
or operation.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION:

Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic

components. Take precautions during furnace installation
and servicing to protect the furnace electronic control.
Precautions will prevent electrostatic discharges from
personnel and hand tools which are held during the
procedure. These precautions will help to avoid exposing
the control to electrostatic discharge by putting the
furnace, the control, and the person at the same electro-
static potential.

1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. DO NOT TOUCH

THE CONTROL OR ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE
CONTROL PRIOR TO DISCHARGING YOUR BODY’S
ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE TO GROUND.

2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the

furnace chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in
a person’s hand during grounding will be satisfactorily
discharged.

3. After touching the chassis you may proceed to service the

control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing that
recharges your body with static electricity (for example; DO
NOT move or shuffle your feet, DO NOT touch un-
grounded objects, etc.).

4. If you touch ungrounded objects (recharge your body with

static electricity), firmly touch furnace again before touch-
ing control or wires.

This forced air furnace is equipped for use with natural gas at altitudes 0 - 10,000 ft (0 - 3,050m), except 140 size

Furnaces are only approved for altitudes 0 - 7,000 ft. (0 - 2,135m).

An accessory kit, supplied by the manufacturer, shall be used to convert to propane gas use or may be required for

some natural gas applications.

This furnace is for indoor installation in a building constructed on site. This furnace may be installed in a manufactured

(mobile) home when stated on rating plate and using factory authorized kit.

This furnace may be installed on combustible flooring in alcove or closet at minimum clearance from combustible

material.

This appliance requires a special venting system. Refer to the installation instructions for parts list and method of

installation. This furnace is for use with schedule-40 PVC, PVC-DWV, or ABS-DWV pipe, and must not be vented in
common with other gas-fired appliances. Construction through which vent/air intake pipes may be installed is maximum
24 inches (600 mm), minimum 3/4 inches (19 mm) thickness (including roofing materials).

This furnace is approved for UPFLOW, DOWNFLOW and
HORIZONTAL installations.
