ELECTRICAL WIRING
WARNING:
ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE OR
EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could
result in serious injury, death or property
damage.
Improper servicing could result in dangerous
operation, serious injury, death or property
damage.
• Before servicing, disconnect all electrical
power to furnace.
• When servicing controls, label all wires prior
to disconnecting. Reconnect wires correctly.
• Verify proper operation after servicing.
• Electrical connections must be in compliance with all
applicable local codes, and the current revision of the
National Electric Code (ANSI/NFPA 70).
• For Canadian installations the electrical connections
and grounding shall comply with the current Canadian
Electrical Code (CSA C22.1 and/or local codes).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
• If replacing any of the original wires supplied with
the furnace, the replacement wire must be copper
wiring and have a temperature rating of at least
105°F (40°C). For electrical specifications, refer to
the furnace nameplate or
Table 5 (page 20).
Line Voltage Wiring
It is recommended that the line voltage (115 VAC) to
the furnace be supplied from a dedicated branch circuit
containing the correct fuse or circuit breaker for the furnace.
See Table 5 below.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• An electrical disconnect must be installed readily
accessible from and located within sight of the
furnace. See Figure 16 or the wiring diagram label
inside of the control door. Any other wiring methods
must be acceptable to authority having jurisdiction.
• Proper line voltage polarity must be maintained in
order for the control system to operate correctly.
Verify the incoming neutral line is connected to the
white wire and the incoming HOT line is connected
to the black wire. The furnace will not operate unless
the polarity and ground are properly connected as
shown in Figure 16.
