Install this furnace only in a location and position as specifiedin the “Location” section of these instructions.3. Provide adequate combustion and ventilation air to the furnacespace as specified in “Air for Combustion and Ventilation”section.4. Combustion products must be discharged outdoors. Connectthis furnace to an approved vent system only, as specifiedin the “Venting” section of these instructions.5. Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commerciallyavailable soap solution made specifically for the detectionof leaks to check all connections, as specified in the“Gas Piping” section.6. Always install furnace to operate within the furnace’s intendedtemperature-rise range with a duct system which has anexternal static pressure within the allowable range, as specifiedin the “Start -Up, Adjustments, and Safety Check”section. See furnace rating plate.7. When a furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry aircirculated by the furnace to areas outside the space containingthe furnace, the return air shall also be handled byduct(s) sealed to the furnace casing and terminating outsidethe space containing the furnace. See “Air Ducts” section.8. A gas -fired furnace for installation in a residential garagemust be installed as specified in the warning box in the“Location” section.9. The furnace may be used for construction heat provided thatthe furnace installation and operation complies with the firstCAUTION in the LOCATION section of these instructions.10. These Multipoise Gas -Fired Furnaces are CSA design -certifiedfor use with natural and propane gases (see furnacerating plate) and for installation in alcoves, attics, basements,closets, utility rooms, crawlspaces, and garages. Thefurnace is factory -shipped for use with natural gas. A CSA(A.G.A. and C.G.A.) listed accessory gas conversion kit isrequired to convert furnace for use with propane gas.11. See Table 2 for required clearances to combustible construction.12. Maintain a 1 -in. (25 mm) clearance from combustible materialsto supply air ductwork for a distance of 36 in. (914mm) horizontally from the furnace. See NFPA 90B or localcode for further requirements.13. These furnaces SHALL NOT be installed directly on carpeting,tile, or any other combustible material other than woodflooring. In downflow installations, factory accessory floorbase MUST be used when installed on combustible materialsand wood flooring. Special base is not required whenthis furnace is installed on manufacturer’s Coil AssemblyPart No. CNRV, CNPV, CAP, or CAR or when Coil BoxPart No. KCAKC is used.
