SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Recognize safety information. This is the safety--alert symbol .
When you see this symbol on the furnace and in instructions or
manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and
CAUTION. These words are used with the safety--alert symbol.
DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in
severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies a hazard
which could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used
to identify unsafe practices which may 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.
Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due to
gas and electrical components. Only trained and qualified
service agency personnel should install, repair, or service
heating equipment. Untrained personnel can perform basic
maintenance functions described in User’s Information
Manual such as cleaning and replacing air filters.
All other operations must be performed by trained service
personnel. When working on heating equipment, observe
precautions in the literature, on tags, and on labels attached to or
shipped with the unit and other safety precautions that may apply.
Follow all safety codes including the National Fuel Gas Code
(NFGC) NFPA 54--2006/ANSI Z223.1--2006 in the USA, CSA
B149.1--05 National Standard of Canada, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Codes (NSCNGPIC) in Canada, and the Installation
Standards, Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems
(NFPA 90B) ANSI/NFPA 90B. Wear safety glasses and work
gloves. Have a fire extinguisher available during start--up and
adjustment procedures and service calls.
UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in damage to
furnace.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation.
CAUTION
!
GENERAL
This furnace can be installed as a direct vent (2--pipe) or non--direct
vent (1--pipe) 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.
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.
