2.Connect this furnace to an approved vent system only. Combustion products must be carried outdoors. Refer to Section III, D thru H, of this manual.
The following pages contain various warnings and cautions found throughout the Thermo Pride Highboy and Dual Poise Two Stage Condensing Gas Furnace Manual. Please read and comply with the statements below.
: This furnace is not to be used for temporary heating of buildings or structures under construction.
: These high efficiency condensing furnaces are not certified for and shall not be vented into a standard or any type of chimney.
: These furnaces may not be common vented with any other appliance.
: The vent and air intake elbows must be kept away from bushes, shrubs or any vegetation that may restrict the flow of flue products. It must also be kept clear of any leaves, weeds or other combustible materials. Keep the vent hood clear of snow. Avoid locating the terminals in areas where standing water or condensate drippage may be a problem.
: Outside combustion air must not come from an area that is directly adjacent to a pool, hot tub or spa. Measures should be taken to prevent the entry of corrosive chemicals or vapors to the combustion and ventilation air supply. Such chemicals include but are not limited to chlorinated and/or fluorinated hydrocarbons such as found in refrigerants, aerosol propellants, dry cleaning fluids, degreasers and removers. Other harmful compounds may come from bleaches, air fresheners or mastics. Vapors from such products can form acid compounds when burned in a gas flame. Should acid compounds form in your furnace; it may reduce the life of the furnace.
: Because of the potential of odorant fade, a gas leak may not be detected by smell. If this furnace is installed below grade, contact your gas supplier for a gas detector.
: Turn off power to furnace before it is placed into service. The gas piping system must have been leak tested by a qualified heating contractor.
: It may be necessary to purge the air out of the gas line for initial
: Heat exchanger oil will burn off on initial firing creating an unpleasant odor. To prevent this odor from occurring more than once, it is suggested that:
1.A window(s) be opened.
2.The thermostat set at highest setting.
3.The furnace remain running at conditions 1&2 for 30 minutes or until odor has dissipated.
: The CHX1/CDX1 furnace models are sealed combustion design, which does not require an air shutter adjustment (air shutters are not used) for proper flame characteristics. Burner box access cover must always be secured with all screws in place and tightened before operating furnace.
