Before installing the furnace in Canada, refer to the current edition of the NSCNGPIC. Contact Standards Department of Canadian Gas Association, 55 Scarsdale Road, Don Mills, Ontario, Canada M3B 2R3.

The duct system should be designed and sized according to accepted national standards published by: Air Conditioning Con- tractors Association (ACCA), Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors National Association (SMACNA). Or consult the Residential Systems Design Guidelines reference tables available from your local distributor. The duct system should be sized to handle the maximum CFM capabilities of the equipment at the optimum design static pressure.

Application of this furnace should be indoors with special attention given to vent sizing and material, gas input rate, air temperature rise, and unit sizing. Improper installation or misapplication of the furnace can require excessive servicing or cause premature component failure.

Installation must conform to regulations of serving gas supplier and local building, heating, and plumbing codes in effect in the area in which installation is made, or in absence of local codes with requirements of the NFGC.

This furnace is designed for a minimum continuous return-air temperature of 60°F db or intermittent operation down to 55°F such as when used with a night setback thermostat. Return-air temperature must not exceed 85°F db.

To aid in installation, troubleshooting, and service, a status code label is located on blower component door. This label explains how to use the LED status indicated on furnace control which is viewed through the sight glass on door.
