ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)

PRECAUTIONS PROCEDURE

FURNACE RELIABILITY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in furnace

component damage.
Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components.

Follow the Electrostatic Discharge Precautions Procedure

listed below 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 electrostatic potential.

CAUTION

1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Multiple disconnects

may be required. 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 the clean, unpainted, metal surface of the fur-

nace chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in a

person’s hand during grounding will be satisfactorily dis-
charged.

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

control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing to
recharge 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 (and recharge your body

with static electricity), firmly touch a clean, unpainted
metal surface of the furnace again before touching control

or wires.

5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled (ungroun-

ded) furnaces.

6. Before removing a new control from its container, dis-

charge your body’s electrostatic charge to ground to pro-
tect the control from damage. If the control is to be in-
stalled in a furnace, follow items 1 through 4 before

bringing the control or yourself in contact with the fur-
nace. Put all used and new controls into containers before

touching ungrounded objects.

7. An ESD service kit (available from commercial sources)

may also be used to prevent ESD damage.

LOCATION

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND UNIT

DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal

injury or death, and unit component damage.
Corrosive or contaminated air may cause failure of parts

containing flue gas, which could leak into the living space.

Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen

compounds, which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and

iodide. These elements can corrode heat exchangers and

shorten furnace life. Air contaminants are found in aerosol

sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air

fresheners, and other household products. Do not install

furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmosphere. Make

sure all combustion and circulating air requirements are met,

in addition to all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING

GENERAL
This multipoise furnace is shipped in packaged configuration.
Some assembly and modifications are required when used in any

of the four applications shown in Fig. 4.
This furnace must:

be installed so the electrical components are protected
from water.

not be installed directly on any combustible material
other than wood flooring for upflow applications.
Downflow installations require use of a factory--ap-

proved floor base or coil assembly when installed on
combustible materials or wood flooring. (Refer to
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS).
