Installation Requirements

Professional installation required. Verify local codes and obtain permits.

  1. Location: Install in well-ventilated area with proper clearances.
  2. Gas connection: Use approved gas piping; pressure test required.
  3. Electrical: 120V AC dedicated circuit with proper grounding.
  4. Venting: Install PVC vent pipes according to manufacturer specifications.
  5. Drain line: Connect condensate drain to proper disposal.

WARNING! Gas appliances can be dangerous; installation must be performed by qualified technician. Ensure proper ventilation and combustion air supply.

First-Time Setup

After installation, perform initial startup procedure.

  1. Verify all connections: Gas, electrical, venting, and drain.
  2. Install air filter: Ensure proper size and orientation.
  3. Power on: Turn on electrical power and gas supply.
  4. Test operation: Set thermostat to call for heat.
  5. Check airflow: Verify proper air delivery from registers.
  6. Monitor operation: Observe complete heating cycle.

CAUTION! Do not operate without proper venting. Check for gas leaks before startup.

Technical Specifications

Controls and Operation

Primary control through thermostat. Internal controls managed by electronic board.

Thermostat Settings: HEAT, OFF, FAN AUTO/ON. Internal controls: Gas valve, igniter, blower motor, safety switches.

Operation Sequence: Thermostat calls for heat → inducer motor starts → pressure switch proves draft → igniter heats → gas valve opens → flame sensor confirms ignition → blower starts after heat exchanger warms.

Fan Control: Auto mode operates with heat cycle; Continuous mode runs continuously for air circulation.

Maintenance Procedures

Regular maintenance ensures efficiency and longevity.

  1. Monthly: Check and replace air filter as needed.
  2. Seasonal: Inspect vent system for obstructions.
  3. Annual: Professional inspection and cleaning.
  4. Bi-annual: Check heat exchanger for cracks.
  5. As needed: Clean flame sensor and burners.

Tip: Keep area around furnace clean and unobstructed.

Safety Features

Multiple safety systems protect against hazardous conditions.

WARNING! Never bypass safety devices. Contact qualified technician if safety devices activate.

Diagnostic Indicators

LED flash codes indicate system status and errors.
