Use & Care Manual

2. A furnace installed in an attic or
other insulated space must be kept
free and clear of insulating material.
Examine the furnace area when
installing the furnace or adding
more insulation. Some materials
may be combustible.
3. To prevent carbon monoxide
poisoning, all panels must be
replaced in proper position after the
furnace is serviced. Do not operate
the unit without all panels securely
in place.
4. Should overheating occur, or the
gas valve fail to shut off the gas
supply, turn off the manual gas stop
to the furnace before turning off the
electrical supply.
5. Any additions, changes or
conversions required in order for
the furnace to satisfactorily meet
the application should be made by
a HVAC professional, service
agency or the gas supplier, using
factory specified or approved parts.
Read your WARRANTY. This
furnace was equipped at the factory
for use on NATURAL GAS ONLY.
Conversion to L.P. GAS requires a
special kit available through your
HVAC professional, from the local
distributor.
6. A furnace needs an adequate
supply of combustion and
ventilation air for proper and safe
operation. Do not block, enclose or
obstruct air openings on the
furnace or air openings supplying
the area where the furnace is
installed. Do not store anything
around the furnace that could block
the flow of fresh air to the unit. Your
installation may receive air from the
inside heated space, from the
outside, from the attic or crawl
space as specified in the
installation instruction. Whenever
adding insulation, be sure the air
supply openings are not covered.
GENERAL INFORMATION
DUCT LEAKS CAN CREATE AN
UNBALANCED SYSTEM AND DRAW
DIRT, DUST, FUMES AND ODORS
INTO THE HOME CAUSING
PROPERTY DAMAGE. FUMES AND
ODORS FROM TOXIC, VOLATILE OR
FLAMMABLE CHEMICALS, AS WELL
AS AUTOMOBILE EXHAUST AND
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO), CAN BE
DRAWN INTO THE LIVING SPACE
THROUGH LEAKING DUCTS AND
UNBALANCED DUCT SYSTEMS
CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH (SEE FIGURE 1).
• IF AIR-MOVING EQUIPMENT OR
DUCTWORK IS LOCATED IN
GARAGES OR OFF-GARAGE
STORAGE AREAS - ALL JOINTS,
SEAMS, AND OPENINGS IN THE
EQUIPMENT AND DUCT MUST BE
SEALED TO LIMIT THE
MIGRATION OF TOXIC FUMES
AND ODORS INCLUDING CARBON
MONOXIDE FROM MIGRATING
INTO THE LIVING SPACE.
• IF AIR-MOVING EQUIPMENT OR
DUCTWORK IS LOCATED IN
SPACES CONTAINING FUEL
BURNING APPLIANCES SUCH AS
WATER HEATERS OR BOILERS -
ALL JOINTS, SEAMS, AND
OPENINGS IN THE EQUIPMENT
AND DUCT MUST ALSO BE
SEALED TO PREVENT
DEPRESSURIZATION OF THE
SPACE AND POSSIBLE
MIGRATION OF COMBUSTION
BYPRODUCTS INCLUDING
CARBON MONOXIDE INTO THE
LIVING SPACE.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION, OR
INSTALLATION NOT MADE IN
