through a conduit system or by using a power
cord and plug which conforms to the National
Electrical Codes and electrical code require-
ments of your area. The terminal block to be
used in wiring is located on the lower rear of the

Installation
Caution
Be sure ambient temperature does not
exceed 104°F (40°C). Ambients above
this level may result in damage to the
controller.
Allow at least six inches of space
between the furnace and any vertical
surface. This permits the heat from fur-
nace case to escape so as not to cre-
ate a possible fire hazard.
Warning
To avoid electrical shock, this furnace
must be installed by a competent,
qualified electrician who ensures com-
patibility among furnace specifications,
power source and grounding code
requirements. (Disregard Step 2 if you
have Model F6010, F6010-33 or
F6018.).
Caution
For supply connections, use 10 AWG
or larger wires suitable for at least
90°C. Failure to observe this caution
could result in damage to furnace.
Hot Surface
“Caution: Hot Surface. Avoid Contact.”
To avoid burns, this furnace must not
be touched on the exterior or interior
surfaces during use or for a period of
time after use.
Warning
Do not use in the presence of flamma-
ble or combustible materials; fire or
explosion may result. This device con-
tains components which may ignite
such material.
