Installation Requirements

Professional installation required. Ensure proper clearances and venting.

  1. Location: Install in dry, level area with adequate combustion air and service access.
  2. Venting: Use approved PVC pipe for intake and exhaust; maintain proper slope.
  3. Gas Connection: Use black iron pipe with drip leg; pressure test for leaks.
  4. Electrical: Connect to dedicated 120V circuit; proper grounding required.
  5. Ductwork: Ensure proper sizing and sealing for optimal airflow.

WARNING! Gas furnaces produce carbon monoxide; proper venting is critical for safety. Installation must comply with local codes.

First-Time Setup

Initial startup must be performed by qualified technician.

  1. Verify installation: Check all connections, clearances, and venting.
  2. Gas pressure: Adjust manifold pressure to specifications.
  3. Electrical: Connect thermostat and verify proper operation.
  4. Combustion analysis: Verify CO levels and efficiency.
  5. Customer orientation: Explain operation, filter changes, and basic troubleshooting.

CAUTION! Do not attempt initial startup without proper training and equipment.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

Integrated control board with diagnostic capabilities. Access via thermostat or service buttons.

Thermostat Settings: HEAT/COOL/OFF, FAN AUTO/ON, temperature setpoint, program schedules.

Furnace Controls: Power switch, service switch, diagnostic LED, pressure switch terminals, gas valve, blower access panel.

Advanced Settings: Blower speed adjustments, temperature rise verification, cycle rate adjustments (professional service required).

Connecting Thermostat

Compatible with most 24V thermostats. Professional installation recommended.

  1. Turn off power at furnace and circuit breaker.
  2. Remove old thermostat and label wires.
  3. Mount new thermostat base and connect wires: R (power), W (heat), G (fan), C (common).
  4. Install batteries if required.
  5. Restore power and test operation.

Tip: Use compatible Trane thermostats for optimal performance and features.

Operating Instructions

Normal operation through thermostat control.

  1. Set thermostat to HEAT mode and desired temperature.
  2. Furnace will initiate startup sequence: inducer motor, pressure check, ignition, main burner.
  3. Blower will start after warm-up period.
  4. System will cycle on/off to maintain set temperature.
  5. For continuous fan operation, set thermostat fan to ON position.

WARNING! If you smell gas, turn off furnace immediately, evacuate, and call gas company from outside.

Maintenance Schedule

Regular maintenance ensures efficiency and longevity.

FrequencyTaskNotes
MonthlyCheck/change air filterMore frequently during heavy use
SeasonalVisual inspectionCheck vents, flame appearance
AnnualProfessional serviceCombustion analysis, component check

5 yearsBlower motor maintenanceProfessional service recommended

Care & Cleaning

Basic maintenance tasks for homeowners.

  1. Air Filter: Replace every 1-3 months depending on usage and environment.
  2. Vents: Keep intake and exhaust clear of snow, leaves, and debris.
  3. Burners: Visual inspection for clean blue flame (professional cleaning required).
  4. Drain Lines: Check for obstructions in condensate drain system.

CAUTION! Turn off power before performing any maintenance. Do not attempt internal repairs.
