Company 215 Metropolitan Drive West Columbia, SC 29170 *P506679-01* (P) 506679-01 506679-01 Save these instructions for future reference Issue 1809 Page 1 of 7 NOTE: This manual is the property of the homeowner and must be left with the equipment user. Notice to Homeowner This furnace is equipped with safety devices that protect you and your property. If one or more of these devices is activated, furnace operation will stop. If your home is left unattended for an extended period of time, equipment operation must be checked periodically. If this is not possible, the water supply to the house should be shut off and the pipes should be drained. This will prevent problems associated with a NO HEAT condition (frozen pipes, etc.). CAUTION Before attempting to perform any service or maintenance, turn the electrical power to unit OFF at the disconnect switch. WARNING Do not set thermostat below 60° F (16° C) in heating mode. Setting thermostat below 60° F (16° C) reduces the number of heating cycles. Damage to the unit may occur that is not covered by the warranty. WARNING If overheating occurs or if gas supply fails to shut off, shut off the manual gas valve to the furnace before shutting off electrical supply. WARNING Do not use this furnace if any part has been underwater. A flood-damaged furnace is extremely dangerous. Attempts to use the furnace can result in fire or explosion. Immediately call a licensed professional service technician (or equivalent) to inspect the furnace and to replace all gas controls, control system parts, and electrical parts that have been wet or to replace the furnace, if deemed necessary. NOTICE Any additions, changes, or conversions required in order for the appliance to satisfactorily meet the application needs must be made by a licensed professional installer (or equivalent) using factory-specified and approved parts. WARNING Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Installation and service must be performed by a licensed professional installer (or equivalent), a service agency, or the gas supplier. Safety Instructions 1. Keep the furnace area clear and free of combustible material, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. If it is installed in an insulated area, the furnace must be kept free of insulating material. Insulating material may be combustible. 2. After any heavy snow, ice or frozen fog event, the furnace vent pipes may become restricted. Always check the vent system and remove any snow or ice that may be obstructing the exhaust pipe and intake pipe (where applicable). 3. DO NOT obstruct air flow to unit. Unit must receive an unobstructed flow of combustion and ventilating air. DO NOT block or obstruct air openings on the furnace or air openings to the area in which the furnace is installed. Take care to maintain established clearances surrounding the furnace. 4. DO NOT store chlorine or fluorine products near unit or introduce these products into the combustion air. These products can cause furnace corrosion. 5. DO NOT draw return air from a room where this furnace, or any other gas appliance (ie., a water heater), is installed. When return air is drawn from a room, a negative pressure is created in the room. If a gas appliance is operating in a room with negative pressure, the flue products can be pulled back down the vent pipe and into the room. This reverse flow of the flue gas may result in incomplete combustion and the formation of carbon monoxide gas. This toxic gas might then be distributed throughout the house by the furnace duct system. Page 2 of 7 Issue 1809 506679-01 WARNING The blower door must be securely in place when the blower and burners are operating. Gas fumes, which could contain carbon monoxide, can be drawn into the living space resulting in personal injury or death. Your furnace is a gas appliance. It is critical that the gas supplied to the unit be completely burned to avoid the production of carbon monoxide gas. Complete combustion of the gas requires, but is not limited to correct gas pressure and gas flow rate, adequate combustion air, and proper venting. WARNING Carbon monoxide gas is invisible, odorless and toxic. Exposure to carbon monoxide gas can cause personal injury and even death to all occupants, including pets. Any item that is powered by or gives off heat from a combustion process (including lawn mowers, automobiles, and fireplaces) has the potential to produce carbon monoxide gas. Because of this, we recommend the use of a carbon monoxide detector in your home, even if you do not own gas appliances. Reliable detectors are available at reasonable retail prices. Your furnace is designed to meet standards set by national agencies, and to operate safely when properly installed and maintained. However, the unit's performance can be greatly impacted by the individual installation and the operating environment. It is your responsibility to ensure that this appliance is maintained. Proper maintenance is critical for your safety and the satisfactory operation of the product. It is strongly recommended that annual inspections and maintenance of this appliance be performed. Contact your dealer for an inspection by a licensed professional service technician (or equivalent). DANGER DANGER OF EXPLOSION! There are circumstances in which odorant used with LP/ propane gas can lose its scent. In case of a leak, LP/ propane gas will settle close to the floor and may be difficult to smell. An LP/propane leak detector should be installed in all LP applications. Start-Up and Operational Information WARNING If you do not follow these instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death. BEFORE PLACING THE UNIT INTO OPERATION, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle on the floor. The gas valve on this unit is equipped with a gas control switch. Use only your hand to move the switch. Never use tools. If the switch will not move by hand, do not try to repair it. Call a licensed professional service technician (or equivalent). Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion. Placing the Gas Furnace Into Operation These units are equipped with an ignition system. DO NOT attempt to manually light burners on this furnace.

For example, poorly performing burners can produce unfamiliar noises. · If you smell any unusual odors, your unit may be operating improperly. For example, units can give off unfamiliar odors if components are required to operate in abnormal conditions. · Look for visible signs of a malfunctioning unit. Examples include unusual amounts of condensate on windows inside your house, visibly burnt components or unusual dirt or rust accumulations on the vent pipe or in the unit. · If you experience headache, nausea, fatigue, or dizziness, the cause could be exposure to carbon monoxide gas. This is often misdiagnosed as the flu because symptoms are similar. If you suffer from flu-like symptoms that are exaggerated at home, but seem to subside while you are away from the house, exposure to carbon monoxide could be the cause. Your vigilance may pay off in early detection of a problem before either personal injury or property damage occurs. Do not hesitate to contact a qualified service technician as an investment in your well being. Planned Service You should expect a service technician to check the following items during an annual inspection. Power to the unit must be shut off for the service technician's safety. Fresh air grilles and louvers (on the unit and in the room where the furnace is installed) Must be open and unobstructed to provide combustion air. Burners - Must be inspected for rust, dirt, or signs of water. Vent Pipe - Must be inspected for signs of water, damaged or sagging pipe, or disconnected joints. Unit Appearance - Must be inspected for rust, dirt, signs if water, burnt or damaged wires, or components. Blower Access Door - Must be properly in place and provide a seal between the return air and the room where the furnace is installed. Return Air Duct - Must be properly attached and provide an air seal to the unit. Operating Performance - Unit must be observed during operation to monitor proper performance of the unit and the vent system. Combustion Gases - Flue products must be analyzed and compared to the unit specifications. Problems detected during the inspection may make it necessary to temporarily shut down the furnace until the items can be repaired or replaced. Pay attention to your furnace. Situations can arise between annual furnace inspections that may result in unsafe operation. For instance, items innocently stored next to the furnace may obstruct the combustion air supply. This could cause incomplete combustion and the production of carbon monoxide gas.
