be field converted to operate on L.P. gas by using the appro-
priate L.P. conversion kit listed in the PROPANE GAS/HIGH
ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS section of this manual

Combustion products must be discharged to the outdoors.
Connect this furnace to an approved vent system only, as

fied on the furnace rating plate and OPERATIONAL CHECKS

circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space contain-
ing the furnace, the return air shall also be handled by duct(s)
sealed to the furnace casing and terminating outside the space
containing the furnace.
