FrozenWater Pipe Hazard

WATER DAMAGE TO PROPERTY HAZARD

Failure to protect against the risk of freezing could result in property damage and/or personal injury.

Do not leave your home unattended for long periods during freezing weather without turning off water supply and draining water pipes or otherwise protecting against the risk of frozen pipes and resultant damage.

Your furnace is designed solely to provide a safe and comfortable

living environment. The furnace is NOT designed to ensure that water pipes will not freeze. It is equipped with several safety de- vices that are designed to turn the furnace off and prevent it from restarting in the event of various potentially unsafe conditions.

If your furnace remains off for an extended time, the pipes in your home could freeze and burst, resulting in serious water damage.

If the structure will be unattended during cold weather you should take these precautions.

1.Turn off the water supply to the structure and drain the water lines if possible and add an antifreeze for potable water to drain traps and toilet tanks. Open faucets in appropriate areas.

CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD

Failure to properly vent this furnace or other appliances could result in death, personal injury and/or property damage.

This furnace can NOT be common vented or connected to any type B, BW or L vent or vent

connector, nor to any portion of a factory-built or masonry chimney. If this furnace is replacing a

3reviously common-vented furnace, it may be necessary to resize the existing vent and chimney to

3revent oversizing problems for the other remaining appliance(s). See Venting and Combus- tion Air Check in Gas Vent Installation section. This furnace MUST be vented to the outside.

Location and Clearances

1,	Refer to Figure 1 or Figure 2 for typical installation and ba-
	sic connecting parts required. Refer to Figure 4 for typical
	horizontal direct vent installation and basic connecting parts
	required. Supply and return air plenums and duct are also
	required.

Have someone check the structure frequently during cold weather to make sure it is warm enough to prevent pipes from freezing. Instruct them on a service agency to call to provide service, if required.

3.Install a reliable remote sensing device that will notify some- body of freezing conditions within the home.

Winter Shutdown

If you go away during the winter months and do not leave the heat on in your home, the plastic transition box and the condensate trap on the furnace must be protected from freeze damage.(See Figure 9 trough Figure 18)

1.Disconnect the 5/8" OD rubber hose from the vent drain fit-

ting that is located downstream of the combustion blower. Insert a funnel into the hose and pour four(4) ounces of sani- tary type (RV) antifreeze into the condensate trap. Recon- nect the 5/8" OD rubber hose to the stub on the vent drain fitting. Secure with the hose clamp.

2.Disconnect the 3/4" OD rubber hose from the condensate trap. Insert a funnel into the hose and and pour four(4) ounces of sanitary type (RV) antifreeze into the plastic Tran- sition box. Squeeze the hose together near the end and quickly reconnect the 3/4" OD rubber hose to the stub on the condensate trap. Secure with the hose clamp.

When you return home, your furnace will be ready to start, as it is not necessary to drain the antifreeze from the furnace.

If furnace is a replacement, it is usually best to install the fur- nace where the old one was. Choose the location or evalu-

ate the existing location based upon the minimum clearance and furnace dimensions (Figure 3).

FROZEN AND BURST WATER PIPE HAZARD

Failure to protect against the risk of freezing could result in property damage and/or personal injury.

Special precautions MUST be made if installing furnace in an area which may drop below freezing.

This can cause improper operation or damage to

equipment. If furnace environment has the potential

of freezing, the drain trap and drainline must be

protected. The use of electric heat tape or RV

antifreeze is recommended for these installations.

(See "Condensate Trap Freeze Protection Section")

Do NOT operate furnace in a corrosive atmosphere

containing chlorine, fluorine or any other damaging

chemicals. Refer to Combustion & Ventilation Air section,

Contaminated Combustion Air.
