Features at a Glance

Key components: Steel heat exchanger, electronic ignition, variable-speed blower, gas valve, limit switches, pressure switches, and control board.

Installation

Unpack and inspect all components. Ensure proper clearances and venting requirements.

1. Position furnace: Place on stable, level surface with proper clearances (6 inches minimum from combustible materials).
2. Connect gas line: Use approved gas piping with drip leg and shut-off valve.
3. Connect electrical: 120V AC power supply with proper grounding and disconnect switch.
4. Install venting: Use approved PVC piping for intake and exhaust vents.
5. Connect ductwork: Secure supply and return air ducts with proper sealing.

WARNING! Installation must be performed by qualified HVAC technician. Gas connections require leak testing.

First-Time Setup

After installation, perform initial startup and system check.

1. Verify gas supply: Ensure gas valve is open and no leaks present.
2. Check electrical: Confirm proper voltage and grounding.
3. Set thermostat: Install compatible thermostat and set to heating mode.
4. Startup sequence: Power on furnace and observe ignition sequence.
5. Adjust blower speed: Set appropriate CFM for your duct system.
6. Check temperature rise: Verify within specified range (35-65°F).

CAUTION! Never bypass safety controls. Always follow proper startup procedures.

Connecting to HVAC System

Proper integration with existing HVAC components is essential for optimal performance.

1. Thermostat connection: Use standard 5-wire thermostat cable (R, W, G, Y, C).
2. Ductwork: Connect to existing supply and return ducts with proper sealing.
3. Humidifier: Optional Aprilaire-type humidifier connection available.
4. Air cleaner: Compatible with electronic air cleaners (24V connection).
5. Zone controls: Works with most standard zoning systems.

Tip: Ensure proper airflow by calculating duct static pressure.

Operating Procedures

Normal operation is controlled through the thermostat.

1. Set thermostat to desired temperature in heating mode.
2. Furnace will initiate startup sequence: inducer motor, pressure switch verification, igniter warm-up, gas valve opening.
3. Once flame is established, main blower will activate after preset delay.
4. When thermostat is satisfied, gas valve closes and blower continues for post-purge cycle.
5. Fan can be set to AUTO (thermostat controlled) or ON (continuous operation).

WARNING! Never operate without proper venting and air filters installed.

Safety Features

Multiple safety systems protect against hazardous conditions: Flame rollout switch, high limit switch, pressure switches, igniter safety timeout, gas valve safety shutoff.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity.

1. Monthly: Check and replace air filter as needed.
2. Annual: Professional inspection and cleaning of burners, heat exchanger, and flue passages.
3. Seasonal: Check vent system for obstructions, clean blower wheel and housing.
4. Biannual: Lubricate blower motor (if required), check electrical connections.

CAUTION! Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance. Gas components should only be serviced by qualified technicians.
