Installation Requirements

Professional installation required. Verify local codes and obtain permits.

  1. Location: Install in dry, clean area with adequate clearance and combustion air.
  2. Gas Connection: Use black iron pipe; pressure test for leaks before operation.
  3. Electrical: 120V AC dedicated circuit required; proper grounding essential.
  4. Venting: Follow manufacturer specifications for PVC vent pipe sizing and routing.
  5. Drain Lines: Connect condensate drain to suitable disposal point.

WARNING! Gas appliances can produce carbon monoxide. Proper venting and combustion air are critical for safe operation.

First-Time Setup

Complete installation verification before initial startup.

  1. Gas pressure check: Verify inlet and manifold pressures per specifications.
  2. Venting verification: Confirm proper draft and secure connections.
  3. Electrical connections: Check wiring and thermostat configuration.
  4. Initial startup: Follow lighting instructions; observe first heating cycle.
  5. System check: Verify proper operation through complete heating cycle.

CAUTION! Only qualified HVAC technicians should perform installation and startup procedures.

Technical Specifications

Controls and Settings

Access control board via front panel. Thermostat controls: HEAT, COOL, FAN, EMERGENCY HEAT.

Control Board Lights: Power (green), Heat (yellow), Service (red).

DIP Switch Settings: Fan delay, heating stages, accessory configuration. Gas Valve: Pressure adjustment screws (qualified technician only). Blower Speed: Multi-speed taps for heating and cooling modes. Limit Switches: Automatic high-temperature safety shutdown.

Venting and Combustion Air

Direct vent or conventional venting options available.

  1. Direct Vent: PVC pipes for intake and exhaust through sidewall or roof.
  2. Conventional: Metal B-vent through chimney with proper liner.
  3. Combustion Air: Ensure adequate fresh air supply per local codes.
  4. Clearances: Maintain specified distances from combustible materials.

Tip: Regularly inspect vent terminals for obstructions like snow, leaves, or debris.

Operating Instructions

Normal operation controlled by thermostat settings.

  1. Thermostat Setting: Set to HEAT mode and desired temperature.
  2. Startup Sequence: Inducer motor, pressure switch verification, igniter warm-up, gas valve opening.
  3. Heating Cycle: Burner ignition, blower activation after heat exchanger warm-up.
  4. Shutdown: Gas valve closes, inducer continues for post-purge, blower runs for cool-down.
  5. Fan Operation: AUTO (thermostat controlled) or ON (continuous circulation).

WARNING! Never operate furnace with access panels removed. Keep area around furnace clear.

Maintenance Procedures

Regular maintenance ensures efficiency and longevity.

  1. Monthly: Check and replace air filter as needed.
  2. Seasonal: Professional inspection before heating season.
  3. Annual: Professional cleaning of burners, heat exchanger, and flue passages.
  4. Blower Maintenance: Clean blower wheel and housing annually.
  5. Drain System: Clear condensate trap and drain lines.

CAUTION! Turn off electrical power and gas supply before performing any maintenance.

Safety Information

Carbon monoxide detectors required in sleeping areas and near furnace.

Emergency Shutdown: Turn off gas valve and electrical power if unusual operation detected.

Smell Gas Procedures: Do not operate electrical switches; evacuate immediately; call gas company from outside.

Regulatory Compliance

Troubleshooting Guide

SymptomPossible CauseCorrective Action
Furnace won't startPower, thermostat, door switchCheck circuit breaker; verify thermostat setting; ensure door panels secure.
No heatGas supply, igniter, flame sensorVerify gas valve on; check for dirty flame sensor; inspect igniter.
Short cyclingAirflow, filter, limit switchReplace dirty filter; check for blocked vents; verify proper airflow.
Blower doesn't runMotor, capacitor, control boardCheck for loose wires; test capacitor; verify control board output.
Unusual noisesBlower wheel, inducer motorInspect for loose parts; clean blower wheel; check motor bearings.

Reset Procedure: Turn power off for 30 seconds, then restore.
