improper installation, adjustment,
alteration, service or maintenance, refer to
this manual. For additional assistance or
information, consult a qualified installer,
service agency or the gas supplier.
WARNING
This product contains or produces a
chemical or chemicals which may cause
serious illness or death and which are
known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm.
WARNING
To prevent possible death, personal injury
or property damage due to electrical shock,
the furnace must be located to protect the
electrical components from water.
CAUTION
This unit must not be used as a
“construction heater” during the finishing
phases of construction on a new structure.
This type of use may result in premature
failure of the unit due to extremely low
return air temperatures and exposure to
corrosive or very dirty atmospheres.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: Discharge body’s static electricity before touching
unit. An electrostatic discharge can adversely affect electrical
components.
Use the following precautions during furnace installation
and servicing to protect the integrated control module from
damage. By putting the furnace, the control, and the
person at the same electrostatic potential, these steps will
help avoid exposing the integrated control module to
electrostatic discharge. This procedure is applicable to
both installed and uninstalled (ungrounded) furnaces.
1. Disconnect all power to the furnace. Do not touch the
integrated control module or any wire connected to the
control prior to discharging your body’s electrostatic
charge to ground.
2. Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the
furnaces near the control. Any tools held in a person’s
hand during grounding will be discharged.
3. Service integrated control module or connecting wir-
ing following the discharge process in step 2. Use
caution not to recharge your body with static electricity;
(i.e., do not move or shuffle your feet, do not touch
ungrounded objects, etc.). If you come in contact with
an ungrounded object, repeat step 2 before touching
control or wires.
4. Discharge your body to ground before removing a new
control from its container. Follow steps 1 through 3 if
installing the control on a furnace. Return any old or
new controls to their containers before touching any
ungrounded object.
III. Product Application
This product is designed for use as a residential home gas

Dual certification means that the combustion air inlet pipe
is optional and the furnace can be vented as a:
Non-direct vent (single pipe) central forced air fur-
nace in which combustion air is taken from the
installation area or from air ducted from the outside
or,
Direct vent (dual pipe) central forced air furnace in
which all combustion air supplied directly to the
furnace burners through a special air intake system
outlined in these instructions.
To ensure proper installation and operation, thoroughly
read this manual for specifics pertaining to the installation
and application of this product.
