NOTE: In such applications, the furnace must be installed with

the following stipulations:

■ It must be installed according to the installation instructions

provided and according to local and national codes.

■ It must be installed indoors in a building constructed on site.

■ It must be part of a ducted system and not used in a free air

delivery application.

■ It must not be used as a “makeup” air unit.

■ It must be installed with 2-pipe systems for combustion air,

especially if VOC’s or other contaminants are present in the

This furnace is an ETL dual-certified appliance and is appropriate

for use with Natural or propane gas

NOTE: If you are using propane, a propane conversion kit is

required.

Dual certification means that the combustion air inlet pipe is

optional, and the furnace can be vented as a:

■ Nondirect vent (single pipe) central forced air furnace in

which combustion air is taken from the installation area or

from air ducted from the outside or a,

■ Direct vent (dual pipe) central forced air furnace in which all

combustion air supplied directly to the furnace burners

through a special air intake system outlined in these

instructions.

This furnace may be used as a construction site heater only if all

of the following conditions are met:

■ The vent system is permanently installed according to these

installation instructions.

■ A room thermostat is used to control the furnace. Fixed

jumpers that provide continuous heating cannot be used and

can cause long term equipment damage.

■ Return air ducts are provided and sealed to the furnace.

■ A return air temperature range between 60ºF and 80ºF (16ºC

and 27ºC) is maintained.

■ Air filters are installed in the system and maintained during

construction, replaced as appropriate during construction

and upon completion of construction.

■ The input rate and temperature rise are set according to the

furnace rating plate.

■ 100% outside air is provided for combustion air requirements

during construction. Temporary ducting can be used.

NOTE: Do not connect the temporary duct directly to the

furnace. The duct must be sized for adequate combustion

and ventilation in accordance with the latest edition of the

National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 or CAN/CSA

B149.1 Installation Codes.

■ The furnace heat exchanger, components, duct system, air

filters and evaporator coils are thoroughly cleaned following

the final construction cleanup.

■ All furnace operating conditions (including ignition, input rate,

temperature rise and venting) are verified according to these

installation instructions.

NOTE: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires that the

following additional requirements must also be met:

■ Gas furnaces must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas

fitter.

■ A T-handle gas cock must be used.

the service area around the unit must have flooring.

To ensure proper furnace operation, you must install, operate and

maintain the furnace in accordance with these installation and

operation instructions, all local building codes and ordinances. In
