for this furnace
(see
Rating
Plate on unit). Overfiring will result in failure of heat
exchanger
and cause dangerous
operation.
(Furnace can
be converted
to LR
gas with approved
kit.)
•
Do NOT use open flame to test for gas leak.
•
Ensure
adequate
combustion
and ventilation
air is pro-
vided to the furnace.
•
Seal supply and return air ducts.
•
The vent system MUST be checked to determine
that it is
the correct type and size.
•

be gas-fired
clothes
dryers,
gas cooking
stoves,
water
heaters, furnaces,
gas-fired
fireplaces,
wood fireplaces,
and several other items. Carbon monoxide can cause seri-
ous bodily
injury and/or
death.
Therefore,
to help
alert
people of potentially
dangerous
carbon
monoxide
levels,
you should have carbon monoxide detectors
listed by a na-
tionally
recognized
agency
(e.g.
Underwriters
Laborato-
ries
or
International
Approval
Services)
installed
and
maintained
in the building or dwelling
(see Note below).
There can be numerous sources of fire or smoke in a build-
ing or dwelling.
Fire or smoke can cause serious bodily in-
jury, death, and/or property damage.
Therefore,
in order to
alert people
of potentially
dangerous
fire or smoke,
you
should have fire and smoke detectors
listed by Underwrit-
ers Laboratories
installed and maintained
in the building or
dwelling
(see Note below).
Note: The manufacturer
of your furnace does not test any detec-
tors and makes no representations
regarding any brand or
type of detector.

vide air to the unit. Air must be provided for proper com-
bustion and ventilation
of flue gases.
Carbon monoxide or "CO" is a colorless and odorless
gas
produced
when fuel is not burned completely
or when the
flame does not receive sufficient oxygen.
Freezing Temperatures andYour Structure
Freeze warning.
Turn off water system.
If your unit remains shut off during cold weather
the water pipes could freeze and burst, resulting
in serious water damage.
Safety Rules
Your unit is built to provide
many years of safe and dependable
service providing it is properly installed and maintained.
However,
abuse and/or improper
use can shorten the life of the unit and
create hazards for you, the owner.
A.
The U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission
recom-
mends that users of gas-burning
appliances
install carbon
monoxide detectors.
There can be various sources of car-
bon monoxide in a building or dwelling. The sources could
Your unit is equipped with safety devices that may keep itfrom op-
erating if sensors detect abnormal conditions
such as clogged ex-
haust flues.
If the structure will be unattended
during cold weather
you should
take these precautions.
1.
Turn off main supply water into the structure
and drain the
water lines if possible. Open faucets
in appropriate
areas.
2.
Have someone
check the structure frequently
during cold
weather
to make sure it is warm enough to prevent pipes
from freezing. Suggest they call qualified service agency, if
required.
Poison carbon monoxide
gas hazard.
If
this
furnace
is
replacing
a
previously
common-vented
furnace, it may be necessary to
resize
the
existing
vent
line
and
chimney
to
prevent
oversizing
problems
for
the
other
remaining
appliances(s).

Failure
to properly
vent
this furnace
or other
appliances
can
result
in
property
damage,
personal injury and/or death.
Locationand Clearances
If furnace is a replacement,
it is usually best to install the furnace
where the old one was. Choose the location or evaluate the exist-
ing location based upon the minimum
clearance
and furnace di-
mensions
(Figure
