Installation

The purpose of this manual is to give the contractor guide- lines for installing the Lifebreath Clean Air Furnace. All national and local codes relating to this type of equipment must be followed.

Locating The Unit

The Clean Air Furnace is designed to be installed vertical- l y , i n a c o n d i t i o n e d s p a c e , w h e r e t h e s u r r o u n d i n g temperature does not fall below 50°F (10°C). Attic installa- tions are not recommended. Typically the unit is installed i n a m e c h a n i c a l a r e a o f t h e b a s e m e n t , o r o t h e r partitioned mechanical room, elsewhere in the home.

A location close to an outside wall is recommended, as the ventilation supply and exhaust portion will need to be ducted to the outside air.

Sufficient clearance around the unit is required for service of the filter, heat recovery core and components.

Duct Connections

To accommodate various installations, the Clean Air Furnace has knockouts for the return air plenum and ven- tilation ducts, on both sides of the cabinet. Special care and attention should be given to determining which knock- outs are to be removed. (See Fig. 2 & Fig. 3).

Slide Heat Recovery Core out to remove ventilation knockouts. Never install ductwork directly to the cabinet that is smaller than the opening provided.
