IMPORTANT

Before installing and using your Clayton furnace, please read the following pages thoroughly and carefully. If you follow the instructions, your Clayton furnace will give you safe and more dependable service for years to come.

First step: Check your local codes. This installation must comply with their rulings.

Do Not install this furnace in a mobile home or trailer

Always have a smoke or ionization detector and a CO detector installed in your home.

To prevent injury or damage, do not allow anyone who is unfamiliar with the furnace to operate it.

This furnace must be installed ONLY in the prescribed manner shown in illustrations 1, 2, or 3 under the In- stallation Examples in this manual. It is NEVER to be installed as a counter-flow or down-draft furnace, or in any manner wherein the heated air is directed in a downward flow into the home or toward to an existing central furnace.

NEVER INSTALL outside the home.

Spend adequate time with your furnace to become well acquainted with the different settings and how each will affect its burning patterns. It is impossible to state just how each setting will affect your furnace be- cause of the variations in each installation.

DISCLAIMER NOTICE

The BTU ranges and heating capacity specifications are provided as a guide and in no way guarantee the output or capacity of this unit. The actual BTU output depends on the type of fuel being burned and its conditions, the thermostat setting, the draft adjustment and the chimney to which the unit is attached. The actual area that this unit will heat depends on factors such as the conditions of the building, heat loss, type of construction, amount of insulation, type of air movement, the location of the unit and more importantly the duct work and return air facility.

Do not place the furnace directly on a combustible floor. If you are placing it on a combustible floor, an approved fire retardant material, equivalent to 3/8” UL Listed mill- board, should be placed under the unit. The material must extend at least 16 inches beyond the front of the unit and 8 inches on either side of the fuel loading door opening. It must also extend underneath the chimney connector and to each side of the connector by at least 2 inches.

REDUCED CLEARANCES

NFPA guidelines and most codes permit reduced clear- ances to combustible walls and ceilings if adequate protection is added. A common mistake is to assume that sheet metal, masonry, or millboard placed directly against a wall protects it. Materials installed in this man- ner actually provides very little protection. These materials are good heat conductors, so they will be almost as hot on their back side as they are on the exposed side. There- fore, the combustible wall behind is still a fire hazard.

A wall can be kept cool using these items but only if they are mounted and spaced out from the wall by an inch or two to allow free air circulation behind the protective panel. The protective panel should also have a gap be- tween the floor and ceiling.

Three rules to follow when constructing wall protectors:

1.Non-combustibility of all materials including mount- ing and supporting.

2.A well ventilated air space between protector and wall.

3.Sufficient strength and rigidity so that the protector and air space will be durable.
