Fig. 1 -- Multipoise Furnace in Upflow Orientation

GENERAL

This furnace can be installed as a direct vent (2--pipe) or an

optional ventilated combustion air condensing gas furnace. These

instructions are written as if the furnace is installed in an upflow
application. An upflow furnace application is where the blower is

located below the combustion and controls section of the furnace,
and conditioned air is discharged upward. Since this furnace can

be installed in any of the 4 positions shown in Fig. 2, you may
need to revise your orientation to component location

accordingly.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD)

PRECAUTIONS

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may damage furnace

components.
Failure to follow this caution may damage furnace

components. 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 electrostatic

potential.

CAUTION

!

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

ungrounded objects, etc.).

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

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

5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled

(ungrounded) furnaces.

6. Before removing a new control from its container,

discharge your body’s electrostatic charge to ground to
protect the control from damage. If the control is to be
installed in a furnace, follow items 1 through 5 before

bringing the control or yourself into contact with the
furnace. 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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

For continuing high performance and to minimize possible
furnace failure, it is essential that maintenance be performed

annually. Consult your local dealer for maintenance and

maintenance contract availability.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal

injury or death.
Turn off the gas and electrical supplies to the unit before

performing any maintenance or service. Follow the

operating instructions on the label attached to the furnace.
