HEADING SOUTH
FOR THE WINTER?
DON’T FORGET YOUR
FURNACE!
Since the furnace uses a condensing
heat exchanger, some water will accu-
mulate in the unit as a result of the heat
transfer process. Therefore, once it
has been operated, it cannot be turned
off and left off for an extended period
of time when temperatures will reach
32° F or lower unless winterized. Fol-
low these procedures to winterize your
furnace:
1. Obtain propylene glycol (RV/
swimming pool antifreeze or
equivalent).
2. Turn off electrical supply to the
furnace. (See Fig. 18.)
3. Remove main furnace door.
(See Fig. 21.)
4. Remove upper right inducer hous-
ing drain connection cap.
(See Fig. 32.)
5. Connect field-supplied 1/2-in.
ID tube to upper inducer housing
drain connection.
6. Insert field-supplied funnel into tube.

7. Pour 1 quart of antifreeze into
funnel/tube. Antifreeze should run
through inducer housing, overfill
condensate trap, and flow into
open field drain. (See Fig. 33.)
8. Remove funnel and tube from
inducer housing and replace drain
connection cap and clamp.
9. Replace main furnace door.
(See Fig. 28.)
CAUTION
If the furnace is installed in an
unconditioned space where
the ambient temperatures may
be 32°F or lower, freeze protec-
tion measures must be taken.
CAUTION
Do not use ethylene glycol
(Prestone II antifreeze coolant
or equivalent). Failure of plas-
tic components will occur.
