Safety Rules

Your unit is built to provide many years of safe and dependable service providing it is properly installed and maintained. However, abuse and/or improper use can shorten the life of the unit and create hazards for you, the owner.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission encourages installation of carbon monoxide alarms. There can be various sources of carbon monoxide in a building or dwelling. The sources could be gas-fired clothes dryers, gas cooking stoves, water heaters, furnaces, gas-fired fireplaces, wood fireplaces.

Carbon monoxide can cause bodily injury and/or death. Carbon monoxide or “CO” is a colorless and odorless gas produced when fuel is not burned completely or when the flame does not receive sufficient oxygen.

Therefore, to help alert people of potentially dangerous carbon monoxide levels, you should have a commercially available carbon monoxide alarm that is listed by a nationally recognized testing agency in accordance with Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard for Single and Multiple Station Carbon Monoxide Alarms, ANSI/UL 2034 or the CSA 6.19-01 Residential Carbon Alarming Devices installed and maintained in the building or dwelling concurrently with the gas-fired furnace installation (see Note below). The alarm should be installed as recommended by the alarm manufacturer’s installation instructions.

There can be numerous sources of fire or smoke in a building or dwelling. Fire or smoke can cause bodily injury, death, and/or property damage. Therefore, in order to alert people of potentially dangerous fire or smoke, you should have fire extinguisher and smoke alarms listed by Underwriters Laboratories installed and maintained in the building or dwelling (see Note below).

NOTE: The manufacturer of your furnace does not test any alarms and makes no representations regarding any brand or type of alarms.

To ensure safe and efficient operation of your unit, you should do the following:

1.Thoroughly read this manual and labels on the unit. This will help you understand how your unit operates and the hazards involved with gas and electricity.

2.Do not use this unit if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the unit and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

3.Never obstruct the vent grilles, or any ducts that provide air to the unit. Air must be provided for proper combustion and ventilation of flue gases.

Frozen Water Pipe Hazard

!CAUTION

WATER DAMAGE TO PROPERTY HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in property damage.

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 devices 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 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.

-or-

2.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.

-or-

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 Fig. 10 through Fig. 17)

1.Disconnect the 5/8OD 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 san-

itary type (RV) antifreeze into the condensate trap. Recon- nect the 5/8OD rubber hose to the stub on the vent drain fitting. Secure with the hose clamp.

2.Disconnect the 3/4OD 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

Transition box. Squeeze the hose together near the end and

quickly reconnect the 3/4OD 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.
