Air For Combustion And Ventilation, Fire Hazard

!WARNING

FIRE, INJURY OR DEATH HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death, and/or property damage.

When the furnace is installed in a residential garage, the burners and ignition sources must be located at least 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid damage by vehicles. When the furnace is installed in a public garage, airplane hangar, or other building having a hazardous atmosphere, the furnace must be installed in accordance with the NFGC. (See Fig. 5.)

!WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death and/or property damage.

Do not install the furnace on its back or hang furnace with control compartment facing downward. Safety control operation will be adversely affected. Never connect return-air ducts to the back of the furnace. (See Fig. 6.)

!CAUTION

PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD

Improper use or installation of this furnace may cause premature component failure. This gas furnace may be used for construction heat provided that:

-The furnace is permanently installed with all electrical wiring, piping, venting and ducting installed according to these installation instructions. A return air duct is provided, sealed to the furnace casing, and terminated outside the space containing the furnace. This prevents a negative pressure condition as created by the circulating air blower, causing a flame roll-out and/or drawing combustion products into the structure.

-The furnace is controlled by a thermostat. It may not be ”hot wired” to provide heat continuously to the structure without thermostatic control.

-Clean outside air is provided for combustion. This is to minimize the corrosive effects of adhesives, sealers and other construction materials. It also prevents the entrainment of drywall dust into combustion air, which can cause fouling and plugging of furnace components.

-The temperature of the return air to the furnace is maintained between 55_F (13_C) and 80_F (27_C), with no evening setback or shutdown. The use of the furnace while the structure is under construction is deemed to be intermittent operation per our installation instructions.

-The air temperature rise is within the rated rise range on the furnace rating plate, and the gas input rate has been set to the nameplate value.

-The filters used to clean the circulating air during the construction process must be either changed or thoroughly cleaned prior to occupancy.

-The furnace, ductwork and filters are cleaned as necessary to remove drywall dust and construction debris from all HVAC system components after construction is completed.

-Verify proper furnace operating conditions including ignition, gas input rate, air temperature rise, and venting according to these installation instructions.

LOCATION RELATIVE TO COOLING EQUIPMENT

The cooling coil must be installed parallel with, or on the downstream side of the unit to avoid condensation in the heat exchangers. When installed parallel with the furnace, dampers or other flow control must prevent chilled air from entering the furnace. If the dampers are manually operated, they must be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless the damper is in the full-heat or full-cool position.
