recharges your body with static electricity (for example; DO NOT move or shuffle your feet, DO NOT touch un- grounded objects, etc.).

4.If you touch ungrounded objects (recharge your body with static electricity), firmly touch furnace again before touch- ing control or wires.

5.Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled (un- grounded) furnaces.

6.Before removing a new control from its container, dis- charge your body's electrostatic charge to ground to protect the control from damage. If the control is to be installed in a furnace, follow items 1 through 5 before bringing the control or yourself into contact with the furnace. Put all used AND new controls into containers before touching ungrounded objects.

7.An ESD service kit (available from commercial sources) may also be used to prevent ESD damage.

INTRODUCTION

The 345MAV Multipoise Condensing Gas-Fired Furnaces are A.G.A./C.G.A. certified for natural and propane gases and for installation in alcoves, attics, basements, closets, utility rooms, crawlspaces, and garages. The furnace is factory-shipped for use with natural gas. An A.G.A/C.G.A certified gas conversion kit is required to convert furnace for use with propane gas. These furnaces are suitable for installation in a residence built on site or a manufactured residence completed at final site. The design of this furnace line is NOT A.G.A./C.G.A. certified for installation in recreation vehicles, in manufactured (mobile) homes, or outdoors. 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. 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.

These furnaces are shipped with the following materials to assist in proper furnace installation. These materials are shipped in the main blower compartment.

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

Before installing the furnace in the United States, refer to the NFGC and the NFPA 90B.

For copies of the NFGC and NFPA 90B contact the National Fire Protection Association Inc., Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269; or American Gas Association, 1515 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22209.

Before installing the furnace in Canada, refer to the NSCNGPIC. Contact Standard Sales, CSA International, 178 Rexdale Boulevard, Etobicoke, (Toronto) Ontario, Canada M9W 1R3.

Installation must comply with regulations of serving gas supplier and local building, heating, plumbing or other codes in effect in the area in which installation is made. In absence of local codes, installation must comply with the NFGC in the United States and the NSCNGPIC in Canada.

These instructions cover minimum requirements for a safe instal- lation 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 pace with changing residential construction practices. We require these instructions as a minimum for a safe installation.

CAUTION: Application of this furnace should be in- doors with special attention given to vent sizing and material, gas input rate, air temperature rise, unit leveling, and unit sizing. Improper installation or misapplication of furnace can require excessive servicing or cause prema- ture component failure.

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.

For accessory installation details, refer to applicable installation literature.

APPLICATIONS

I.GENERAL

Some assembly and modifications are required for furnaces installed in any of the 4 applications shown in Fig. 1. All drain and pressure tubes are connected as shown in Fig. 5. See appropriate application instructions for these procedures.

II.UPFLOW APPLICATIONS

An upflow furnace application is where furnace blower is located below combustion and controls section of furnace, and conditioned air is discharged upwards.

A.Condensate Trap Location (Factory-Shipped Orientation)

The condensate trap is factory installed in the blower shelf and factory connected for UPFLOW applications. A factory-supplied tube is used to extend the condensate trap drain connection to the desired furnace side for field drain attachment. See Condensate Trap Tubing (Factory-Shipped Orientation) section for drain tube extension details.

B.Condensate Trap Tubing (Factory-Shipped Orientation)

NOTE: See Fig. 5 or tube routing label on main furnace door to confirm location of these tubes.

1.Collector Box Drain, Inducer Housing Drain, Relief Port, and Pressure Switch Tubes

These tubes should be factory attached to condensate trap and pressure switch ready for use in UPFLOW applications. These tubes can be identified by their connection location
