Installation Requirements

Professional installation required. Verify local codes and obtain permits.

  1. Location: Install in dry, clean area with adequate combustion air and service clearance.
  2. Venting: Properly size and install vent pipes per manufacturer specifications.
  3. Gas Supply: Connect to appropriate gas supply with sediment trap.
  4. Electrical: Connect to 120V AC power with proper grounding.
  5. Ductwork: Ensure proper sizing and sealing of supply and return ducts.

WARNING! Gas furnaces produce carbon monoxide. Proper installation and venting are critical for safety. Installation must be performed by qualified technician.

First-Time Setup

Initial startup must be performed by qualified technician.

  1. Verify installation: Check all connections, venting, and clearances.
  2. Gas pressure: Adjust gas valve for proper manifold pressure.
  3. Electrical: Verify proper voltage and grounding.
  4. Combustion: Check and adjust air-fuel mixture.
  5. Safety controls: Test all limit and safety switches.
  6. Blower speed: Set appropriate airflow for heating application.

CAUTION! Never attempt to adjust gas pressure or combustion settings without proper training and equipment.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

Thermostat controls furnace operation. Furnace includes integrated control board with diagnostic LED.

Thermostat Settings: HEAT/COOL/OFF, FAN AUTO/ON, Temperature setpoint.

Control Board: Monitors furnace operation, provides diagnostic codes via LED flash patterns. Safety Controls: Limit switches prevent overheating, pressure switches verify vent operation, flame rollout switch detects improper combustion. Blower Control: Multi-speed operation with timing delays for proper heat exchange.

Venting and Combustion Air

Proper venting is critical for safe operation and efficiency.

  1. Vent pipes must be properly sized and supported.
  2. Maintain required clearances to combustible materials.
  3. Ensure adequate combustion air supply.
  4. Vent terminals must be clear of obstructions.
  5. Regularly inspect vent system for deterioration or blockage.

Tip: Install carbon monoxide detectors near sleeping areas and on each level of home.

Operating Instructions

Furnace operation is controlled by thermostat.

  1. Set thermostat to HEAT mode.
  2. Adjust temperature setpoint above room temperature.
  3. Furnace will initiate heating cycle: inducer motor starts, pressure switch verifies, ignitor heats, gas valve opens, burner lights.
  4. After proving flame, blower motor starts after brief delay.
  5. When thermostat is satisfied, gas valve closes, blower continues for heat dissipation.
  6. For continuous fan operation, set thermostat fan to ON position.

WARNING! If you smell gas, immediately turn off gas supply, evacuate area, and call gas company from safe location.

Maintenance Procedures

Regular maintenance ensures safe and efficient operation.

  1. Monthly: Check and replace air filter as needed.
  2. Annual: Professional inspection and cleaning.
  3. Burner inspection: Clean and verify proper flame pattern.
  4. Heat exchanger: Inspect for cracks or deterioration.
  5. Vent system: Check for obstructions or damage.
  6. Electrical: Check connections and component operation.
  7. Safety controls: Verify proper operation of all safety devices.

Care & Cleaning

Keep furnace area clean and clear of combustible materials.

Air Filter: Replace regularly (typically 1-3 months) to maintain airflow and efficiency. Burners: Professional cleaning only. Blower: Vacuum accessible areas during filter changes. Cabinet: Wipe exterior with damp cloth.

CAUTION! Never operate furnace without filter. Keep flammable materials away from furnace.
