Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service, mainte- nance, or use can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, explo- sion, fire, electrical shock, or other conditions which may cause personal injury, loss of life, or property damage. Consult a qualified installer, service agency, local gas sup- plier, or your distributor or branch for information or assis- tance. The qualified installer or agency must use only factory-authorized and listed kits or accessories when modi- fying this product. Failure to follow this warning could result in electrical shock, fire, personal injury, or death.

For accessory installation details, refer to the applicable installa- tion literature.

NOTE: Remove all shipping brackets and materials before oper- ating the furnace.

Step 1ÐLocation

GENERAL

Do not install furnace in a corrosive or contaminated atmo- sphere. Make sure all combustion and circulating air require- ments are followed, in addition to all local codes and ordinances.

Do not use this furnace during construction when adhesives, sealers, and/or new carpets are being installed. If the furnace is required during construction, use clean outside air for combustion and ventilation. Compounds of chlorine and fluorine when burned with combustion air form acids which cause corrosion of the heat exchangers and metal vent system. Some of these compounds are found in paneling and dry wall adhesives, paints, thinners, masonry cleaning materials, and many other solvents commonly used in the construction process.

Excessive exposure to contaminated combustion air will result in safety and performance related problems.

Do not install the furnace on its back; safety control operation will be adversely affected. Failure to follow this warning could result in fire, personal injury, or death.

This furnace must be installed so the electrical components are protected from water.

Locate the furnace as close to the chimney/vent and as near the center of the air distribution system as possible. The furnace should be installed as level as possible.

Provide ample space for servicing and cleaning. Always comply with the minimum fire protection clearances shown on the unit rating plate. This furnace shall not be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or any combustible material other than wood flooring. The furnace may be installed on combustible flooring when installed with the accessory downflow subbase, which is available from your distributor or branch when required.

LOCATION RELATIVE TO COOLING EQUIPMENT Ð The cooling coil must be installed parallel with or on the downstream side of the furnace to avoid condensation in the heat exchangers. When installed parallel with a furnace, dampers or other means used to control the flow of air must prevent chilled air from entering the unit. If the dampers are manually operated, they must be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit unless the damper is in the full-heat or full-cool position.

HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS

18-IN. MINIMUM

TO BURNERS

A93044

When furnace is installed in a residential garage, it must be installed so that burners and ignition sources are located a minimum of 18 in. above floor. The furnace must be located or protected to avoid physical damage by vehicles. When furnace is installed in a public garage, airplane hangar, or other building having a hazardous atmosphere, unit must be installed in accordance with requirements of National Fire Protection Association, Inc.

Step 2ÐAir For Combustion and Ventilation

Provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air must be provided in accordance with Section 5.3 of the NFGC, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, or applicable provisions of the local building codes.

Canadian installations must be installed in accordance with NSC- NGPIC and all authorities having jurisdiction.

Air for combustion must not be contaminated by halogen compounds, which include fluoride, chloride, bromide, and iodide. These elements are found in aerosol sprays, deter- gents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, salts, air fresheners, and other household products.

58ZAV specifications

The Carrier 58ZAV is a high-efficiency gas furnace that exemplifies Carrier's commitment to innovation and performance in residential heating solutions. Designed to provide optimal comfort, the 58ZAV boasts a range of features that cater to the needs of homeowners seeking reliable and energy-efficient heating systems.

One of the standout characteristics of the Carrier 58ZAV is its impressive Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating, which often exceeds 95%. This high AFUE ratio means that the furnace converts a significant portion of its fuel into heat, ensuring minimal energy waste and lower utility bills. This efficiency aligns with modern energy standards and reflects Carrier's dedication to environmentally conscious engineering.

The 58ZAV employs a two-stage heating process, which allows for better temperature control and more consistent comfort levels throughout the home. The furnace operates on low capacity for most of the heating cycle, ensuring that it does not overheat the living spaces. When a quick boost of heat is needed, it can switch to high capacity, providing the necessary warmth efficiently.

Additionally, this gas furnace features a variable-speed blower motor. This motor adapts its speed according to the heating demand, delivering more even airflow and maintaining consistent humidity levels within the home. This adaptability not only enhances comfort but also contributes to a quieter operation, minimizing disruptive noise levels typically associated with traditional furnaces.

Incorporating advanced technology, the Carrier 58ZAV is compatible with smart thermostats and can be integrated into a home automation system. This feature allows homeowners to monitor and control their heating system remotely, optimizing energy usage and comfort from anywhere.

The furnace is designed with durability in mind, featuring a corrosion-resistant heat exchanger and other robust components that ensure long-lasting performance. Moreover, Carrier offers a range of warranties, providing peace of mind to homeowners investing in this heating solution.

Overall, the Carrier 58ZAV is a top-of-the-line gas furnace that combines efficiency, advanced technology, and comfort. With its high AFUE rating, two-stage heating process, variable-speed blower motor, and compatibility with smart home systems, it represents a modern heating solution that meets the demands of today's environmentally aware consumers. Whether for new installations or replacements, the 58ZAV stands out as a reliable choice for residential heating needs.
