SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
CAUTION: Application of this furnace should be in-
doors with special attention given to vent sizing and
material, gas input rate, air temperature rise, unit leveling,
and unit sizing. Improper installation or misapplication of
furnace can require excessive servicing or cause prema-
ture component failure.
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alter-
ation, service, maintenance, or use can cause carbon
monoxide poisoning, explosion, tire, electrical shock, or
other conditions which may cause personal injury or
property damage. Consult a qualified installer, service
agency, local gas supplier, or your distributor or branch
for information or assistance. The qualified installer or
agency must use only factory-authorized and listed kits or
accessories when modifying this product. Failure to
follow this warning could result in electrical shock, fire,
personal injury, or death.
Installing and servicing heating equipment can be hazardous due to
gas and electrical components. Only trained and qualified
personnel should install, repair, or service heating equipment.
Untrained personnel can perform basic maintenance functions
such as cleaning and replacing air filters. All other operations must
be performed by trained service personnel. When working on
heating equipment, observe precautions in literature, on tags, and
on labels attached to or shipped with unit and other safety
precautions that may apply.
These instructions cover the minimum requirements and conform
to existing national standards and safety codes. In some instances,
these instructions exceed certain local codes and ordinances,
especially those that may not have kept up with changing residen-
tial construction practices. We require these instructions as a
minimum for a safe installation.
Wear safety glasses and work gloves. Have a fire extinguisher
available during start-up and adjustment procedures and service
calls.
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert symbol
.
When you see this symbol on the unit and in instructions or
manuals, be alert to the potential for personal injury.
Understand these signal words: DANGER, WARNING, CAU-
TION, and NOTE. These words are used with the safety-alert
symbol. DANGER identifies the most serious hazards which will
result in severe personal injury or death. WARNING signifies
hazards which could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION
is used to identify unsafe practices which would result in minor
personal injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used to
highlight suggestions which will result in enhanced installation,
reliability, or operation.
CAUTION: Sheet metal parts may have sharp edges or
burrs. Use care and wear appropriate protective clothing
and gloves when handling parts. Failure to follow this
caution could result in personal injury.
The 355MAV Multipoise Condensing Gas-Fired Furnaces are
C.S.A. design-certified for natural and propane gases (see furnace
rating plate) and for installation in alcoves, attics, basements,
closets, utility rooms, crawlspaces, and garages. The furnace is
factory-shipped for use with natural gas. A C.S.A. listed gas
conversion kit is required to convert furnace for use with propane
gas.
See Fig. 3 for required clearances to combustibles.
Maintain a 1-in. clearance from combustible materials to supply air
ductwork for a distance of 36 inches horizontally from the furnace.
See NFPA 90B or local code for further requirements.
These furnaces SHALL NOT be installed directly on carpeting,
tile, or any other combustible material other than wood flooring. In
downflow installations, factory accessory floor base MUST be
used when installed on combustible materials and wood flooring.
Special base is not required when this furnace is installed on
manufacturers Coil Assembly Part No. CD5 or CK5, or when Coil
Box Part No. KCAKC is used. These furnaces are suitable for
installation in a structure built on site or a manufactured building
completed at final site. The design of this furnace line is NOT
C.S.A. design-certified for installation in recreation vehicles or
outdoors.
This furnace is designed for continuous return-air minimum
temperature of 60 °F db or intermittent operation down to 55°Fdb
such as when used with a night setback thermometer. Return-air
temperature must not exceed 85°F db. Failure to follow these
return air limits may affect reliability of heat exchangers, motors
and controls. (See Fig. 4.)
These furnaces are shipped with the drain and pressure tubes
connected for UPFLOW applications. Minor modifications are
required when used in DOWNFLOW, HORIZONTAL RIGHT, or
HORIZONTAL LEFT (supply-air discharge direction) applica-
tions as shown in Fig. 1. See details in Applications section.
This furnace must be installed with a direct-vent (combustion air
and flue) system and a factory accessory termination kit. In a
direct-vent system, all air for combustion is taken directly from the
outside atmosphere and all flue products are discharged to the
outside atmosphere. See furnace and factory accessory termination
kit instructions for proper installation.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Use a commercially
available soap solution made specifically for the detection of leaks
to check all connections as specified in the GAS PIPING section
of these instructions.
Always install furnace to operate within the furnaces intended
temperature-rise range with a duct system which has an external
static pressure within the allowable range as specified in the SET
TEMPERATURE RISE section of these instructions.
When a furnace is installed so that the supply ducts carry air
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the
furnace, the return air must also be handled by a duct(s) sealed to
the furnace casing and terminating outside the space containing the
furnace.
A gas-fired furnace for installation in a residential garage must be
installed as specified in the Hazardous Locations section and Fig.
5.
The furnace is not to be used for temporary heating of buildings or
structures under construction unless the furnace installation and
operation complies with first CAUTION in the LOCATION
section of these instructions.
