SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

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.

Follow all safety codes, including the National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC) NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1-1996, and the Installation Stan- dards, Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Systems (NFPA 90B) ANSI/NFPA 90B. In Canada, refer to the current edition of the CAN/CGA-B149.1 and .2-M95 National Standard of Canada, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Codes (NSCNGPIC). Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Have a fire extinguisher available during start-up and adjustment procedures and service calls.

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.

Understand the signal words DANGER, WARNING, and CAU- TION. These words are used with the safety-alert symbol. DAN- GER identifies 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.

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can affect electronic components. Take precautions during furnace installation and servicing to protect the furnace electronic control. Precautions will prevent electrostatic discharges from personnel and hand tools which are held during the procedure. These precautions will help to avoid exposing the control to electrostatic discharge by putting the furnace, the control, and the person at the same electro- static potential.

1.Disconnect all power to the furnace. DO NOT TOUCH THE CONTROL OR ANY WIRE CONNECTED TO THE CONTROL PRIOR TO DISCHARGING YOUR BODY'S ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE TO GROUND.

2.Firmly touch a clean, unpainted, metal surface of the furnace chassis which is close to the control. Tools held in a person's hand during grounding will be satisfactorily discharged.

3.After touching the chassis you may proceed to service the control or connecting wires as long as you do nothing that

INSTALLATION

This forced air furnace is equipped for use with natural gas at altitudes 0 - 10,000 ft (0 - 3,050m), except 140 size Furnaces are only approved for altitudes 0 - 7,000 ft. (0 - 2,135m).

An accessory kit, supplied by the manufacturer, shall be used to convert to propane gas use or may be required for some natural gas applications.

This furnace is for indoor installation in a building constructed on site. This furnace may be installed in a manufactured (mobile) home when stated on rating plate and using factory authorized kit.

This furnace may be installed on combustible flooring in alcove or closet at minimum clearance from combustible material.

This appliance requires a special venting system. Refer to the installation instructions for parts list and method of installation. This furnace is for use with schedule-40 PVC, PVC-DWV, or ABS-DWV pipe, and must not be vented in common with other gas-fired appliances. Construction through which vent/air intake pipes may be installed is maximum 24 inches (600 mm), minimum 3/4 inches (19 mm) thickness (including roofing materials).

Furnace must be installed level, or pitched forward within 1/2 inch of level for proper drainage. Failure will result in equipment or property damage. See Installation Manual for IMPORTANT unit support details on horizontal applications.

MINIMUM INCHES CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION

This furnace is approved for UPFLOW, DOWNFLOW and HORIZONTAL installations.

ALL POSITIONS:

*Minimum front clearance for service 30 inches (762mm).

†† 140 size furnaces require 1 inch back clearance to combustible materials.

DOWNFLOW POSITIONS:

†For installation on combustible floors only when installed on special base No. KGASB0201ALL, Coil Assembly, Part No. CD5 or CK5, or Coil Casing, Part No. KCAKC.

HORIZONTAL POSITIONS:

§Clearance shown is for air inlet and air outlet end.

Line contact is permissible only between lines formed by intersections of top and two sides of furnace jacket, and building joists, studs, or framing.

Ø120 and 140 size Furnaces require 1 inch bottom clearance to combustible materials.
