!WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.
The operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation fans, clothes dryers, attic exhaust fans or fireplaces could create a NEGATIVE PRESSURE CONDITION at the furnace.
The requirements for combustion and ventilation air depend upon whether or not the furnace is located in a space having a volume of at least 50 cu/ft. per 1,000 Btuh input rating for all gas appliances installed in the space.
SSpaces having less than 50 cu/ft. per 1,000 Btuh re- quire the OUTDOOR COMBUSTION AIR METHOD.
SSpaces having at least 50 cu/ft. per 1,000 Btuh may use the INDOOR COMBUSTION AIR, STANDARD or
KNOWN AIR INFILTRATION METHOD.
Outdoor Combustion Air Method
1.Provide the space with sufficient air for proper combus- tion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases using perman- ent horizontal or vertical duct(s) or opening(s) directly communicating with the outdoors or spaces that freely communicate with the outdoors.
2.Fig. 7 illustrates how to provide TWO OUTDOOR OPENINGS, one inlet and one outlet combustion and ventilation air opening, to the outdoors.
e. One opening MUST commence within 12 in. (300 mm) of the ceiling and the second opening MUST commence within 12 in. (300 mm) of the floor.
f.Size openings and ducts per Fig. 7 and Table 2.
g.TWO HORIZONTAL DUCTS require 1 sq./in. of free area per 2,000 Btuh (1,100 mm2/kW) of combined input for all gas appliances in the space per Fig. 7 and Table 2.
h.TWO OPENINGS OR VERTICAL DUCTS require 1 sq./in. of free area per 4,000 Btuh (550 mm2/kW) for combined input of all gas appliances in the space per Fig. 7 and Table 2.
3.ONE OUTDOOR OPENING requires:
a.1 square inch of free area per 3,000 Btuh (734 mm2/kW) for combined input of all gas appliances in the space per Table 2 and
b.Not less than the sum of the areas of all vent connect- ors in the space.
The opening shall commence within 12 in. (300 mm) of the ceiling. Appliances in the space shall have clearances of at least 1 in. (25 mm) from the sides and back and 6 in. (150 mm) from the front. The opening shall directly communicate with the outdoors or shall communicate through a vertical or horizontal duct to the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors.

!WARNING
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD Failure to follow this warning could result in death and/or personal injury.
Many homes require air to be supplied from outdoors for furnace combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases. The furnace combustion air supply must be provided in accordance with this instruction manual.
