Installation Requirements

Professional installation required. Verify local codes and obtain permits.

  1. Location: Install in conditioned space with adequate clearance (see specifications).
  2. Venting: Use approved PVC or metal venting materials per local codes.
  3. Gas Supply: Connect to properly sized gas line with sediment trap.
  4. Electrical: Connect to 120V AC power with proper grounding.
  5. Ductwork: Ensure proper sizing and sealing of supply/return ducts.

WARNING! Gas furnaces produce carbon monoxide; proper venting is critical. Installation must comply with NFPA 54 and local codes.

First-Time Setup

After installation, perform initial startup procedure.

  1. Verify installation: Check all connections, clearances, and venting.
  2. Gas pressure: Adjust manifold pressure to specifications (3.5" WC natural gas).
  3. Blower speed: Set appropriate speed for heating application.
  4. Test operation: Start furnace and verify proper ignition sequence.
  5. Check temperature rise: Ensure within specified range (35-65°F).

CAUTION! Only qualified technicians should perform startup and adjustment procedures.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

Integrated control board with LED status indicator. Thermostat connections: R, W, G, C.

LED Codes: Steady light = normal operation; 1 flash = pressure switch; 2 flashes = ignition lockout; 3 flashes = limit circuit; 4 flashes = flame roll-out.

Gas Valve: Single-stage operation with manual shutoff. Blower Speeds: Adjustable for heating application. Limit Switches: Automatic high temperature protection. Pressure Switches: Verify inducer operation and venting.

Venting and Combustion Air

Category I venting required. Use approved materials per local codes.

  1. Vent sizing: Follow manufacturer specifications for pipe diameter and length.
  2. Combustion air: Provide adequate fresh air supply per installation requirements.
  3. Clearances: Maintain specified clearances to combustible materials.
  4. Termination: Properly locate vent and intake terminals outdoors.

Tip: Regularly inspect vent system for obstructions or damage.

Operation Instructions

Normal operation controlled by thermostat.

  1. Set thermostat to desired temperature above room temperature.
  2. Furnace initiates call for heat: inducer motor starts, pressure switch closes.
  3. Hot surface igniter heats up, gas valve opens.
  4. Burners ignite, flame sensor confirms presence.
  5. Blower motor starts after heat exchanger warm-up period.
  6. When thermostat satisfied, gas valve closes, blower continues for post-purge.

WARNING! Never operate furnace without proper venting and combustion air. Install carbon monoxide detectors in living spaces.

Maintenance Procedures

Annual professional maintenance recommended.

Care & Cleaning

Keep furnace area clean and free of combustible materials.

CAUTION! Turn off power and gas supply before cleaning. Use compressed air for heat exchanger cleaning. Never use water or chemical cleaners on electrical components.
