Understand these signal words DANGER, WARNING, CAU- TION, and NOTE. These words are used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards which could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used to identify unsafe practices which would result in minor personal injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced installation, reliability, or operation.

The 340MAV Multipoise Condensing Gas-Fired Furnaces are CSA (formerly AGA and CGA) design-certified for natural and propane gases (see furnace rating plate) and for installation in alcoves, attics, basements, closets, utility rooms, crawlspaces, and garages. The furnace is factory-shipped for use with natural gas. A CSA (formerly AGA and CGA) listed gas conversion kit is required to convert furnace for use with propane gas.

See Fig. 3 for required clearances to combustibles.

Maintain a 1-in. clearance from combustible materials to supply air ductwork for a distance of 36 inches horizontally from the furnace. See NFPA 90B or local code for further requirements.

WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alter- ation, service, maintenance, or use can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, explosion, fire, electrical shock, or other conditions which may cause personal injury or property damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency, local gas supplier, or your distributor or branch for information or assistance. The qualified installer or agency must use only factory-authorized and listed kits or accessories when modifying this product. Failure to follow this warning could result in electrical shock, fire, personal injury, or death.

Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due to gas and electrical components. Only trained and qualified person- nel should install, repair, or service heating equipment. Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions such as clean- ing and replacing air filters. All other operations must be per- formed by trained service personnel. When working on heating equipment, observe precautions in literature, on tags, and on labels attached to or shipped with unit and other safety precautions that may apply.

These instructions cover the minimum requirements and conform to existing national standards and safety codes. In some instances, these instructions exceed certain local codes and ordinances, especially those that may not have kept up with changing residen- tial construction practices. We require these instructions as a minimum for a safe installation.

Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Have a fire extinguisher available during start-up and adjustment procedures and service calls.

CAUTION: Sheet metal parts may have sharp edges or burrs. Use care and wear appropriate protective clothing and gloves when handling parts. Failure to follow this caution could result in personal injury.

Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol . When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.

These furnaces SHALL NOT be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or any other combustible material other than wood flooring. In downflow installations, factory accessory floor base MUST be used when installed on combustible materials and wood flooring. Special base is not required when this furnace is installed on manufacturer’s Coil Assembly Part No. CD5 or CK5, or when Coil Box Part No. KCAKC is used.

The 340MAV 040 through 120 size units are CSA (formerly AGA and CGA) design-certified for use in manufactured (mobile) homes when factory accessory conversion kit is used. The 140 size unit is NOT design-certified for use in manufactured (mobile) homes. These furnaces are suitable for installation in a structure built on site or a manufactured building completed at final site. The design of this furnace line is NOT CSA (formerly AGA and CGA) design-certified for installation in recreation vehicles or outdoors.

This furnace is designed for continuous return-air minimum temperature of 60°F db or intermittent operation down to 55°F db such as when used with a night setback thermostat. Return-air temperature must not exceed 85°F db. Failure to follow these return-air limits may affect reliability of heat exchangers, motors, and controls. (See Fig. 4.)

These furnaces are shipped with the drain and pressure tubes connected for UPFLOW applications. Minor modifications are required when used in DOWNFLOW, HORIZONTAL RIGHT, or HORIZONTAL LEFT (supply-air discharge direction) applica- tions as shown in Fig. 1. See details in Applications section.

This furnace must be installed with a direct-vent (combustion air and flue gas) system and a factory accessory termination kit. In a direct-vent system, all air for combustion is taken directly from the outdoor atmosphere and flue gases are discharged to the outdoor atmosphere. See furnace and factory accessory termination kit instructions for proper installation.

340MAV specifications

The Bryant 340MAV is a standout model in the Bryant lineup, designed to provide exceptional comfort, efficiency, and performance for residential heating and cooling needs. This unit offers a perfect blend of innovative technology and user-friendly features, making it an ideal choice for homeowners seeking reliability and quality.

One of the defining characteristics of the Bryant 340MAV is its impressive efficiency rating. With a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) of up to 18, this model ensures that homeowners can enjoy effective cooling during the summer months while minimizing energy consumption. Similarly, the heating efficiency is notable, with a high AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating. This makes the 340MAV an environmentally friendly option that also promotes cost savings on energy bills.

The 340MAV incorporates advanced technologies that enhance its performance. One such technology is the variable-speed compressor, which allows the system to adjust its output based on the demands of the home. This means that the unit operates more quietly and reduces energy usage by matching the cooling or heating output required. Additionally, the two-stage heating capability provides more consistent temperatures and improved comfort throughout the space.

Operating noise is a crucial factor in residential HVAC systems, and the Bryant 340MAV is designed with this in mind. Engineered for quiet operation, the unit features a sound-dampening design, including an insulated cabinet and a specially designed compressor that minimizes noise levels. Homeowners can enjoy a comfortable indoor climate without the disruptive racket often associated with traditional systems.

Furthermore, the Bryant 340MAV is equipped with a durable all-aluminum coil, which improves heat transfer efficiency while also being resistant to corrosion. This characteristic contributes to the longevity of the unit, ensuring that it can withstand various environmental factors without compromising performance.

Another key feature is the advanced control options that the Bryant 340MAV offers. Integration with smart thermostats allows homeowners to monitor and adjust their HVAC system remotely, ensuring optimal comfort at all times. Additionally, the system is compatible with Bryant's Perfect Airâ„¢ filtration system, enhancing indoor air quality by reducing pollutants and allergens.

In summary, the Bryant 340MAV is a high-efficiency heating and cooling solution that brings together cutting-edge technology, quiet operation, and user-friendly features. With its focus on comfort and energy savings, it stands out as a prime choice for homeowners looking to invest in a reliable HVAC system.
