4. If you touch ungrounded objects (recharge your body with
static electricity), firmly touch furnace again before touch-
ing control or wires.
5. Use this procedure for installed and uninstalled (un-
grounded) furnaces.
6. Before removing a new control from its container, dis-
charge your body’s electrostatic charge to ground to protect
the control from damage. If the control is to be installed in
a furnace, follow items 1 through 5 before bringing the
control or yourself into contact with the furnace. Put all
used AND new controls into containers before touching
ungrounded objects.
7. An ESD service kit (available from commercial sources)
may also be used to prevent ESD damage.
INTRODUCTION
The Model 395CAV, Series G Furnace is available in sizes 45,000
through 155,000 Btuh input capacities.
The design of the upflow gas-fired furnace is A.G.A./C.G.A.
certified for natural and propane gas and for installation on
combustible flooring, in alcoves, attics, basements, closets, or
utility rooms. The design of this furnace line is not A.G.A./C.G.A.
certified for installation in mobile homes, recreation vehicles, or
outdoors.
Before installing the furnace, refer to the current edition of the
NFGC. Canadian installations must be installed in accordance with
NSCNGPIC and all authorities having jurisdiction. For further
information, the NFGC is available from National Fire Protection
Association Inc., Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269; Ameri-
can Gas Association, 1515 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA
22209; or from Literature Distribution.
Installation must conform to the regulations of the serving gas
supplier and the local building, heating, and plumbing codes in
effect in the area in which the installation is made, or in the
absence of local codes with the requirements of the NFGC.
CAUTION: Application of this furnace should be in-
doors with special attention given to vent sizing and
material, gas input rate, air temperature rise, and unit
sizing. Improper installation or misapplication of the
furnace can require excessive servicing or cause prema-
ture component failure.
This furnace is designed for a minimum continuous return-air
temperature of 60°F db or an intermittent operation down to 55°F
db such as when used with a night setback thermostat. Return-air
temperature must not exceed a maximum of 85°F db.
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, alter-
ation, service, maintenance, or use can cause carbon
monoxide poisoning, explosion, fire, 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 can cause electrical shock, fire,
personal injury, or death.
For accessory installation details, refer to the applicable instruction
literature.
NOTE: Remove all shipping brackets and materials before
operating the furnace.
I. LOCATION
A. General
CAUTION: Do not install furnace in a corrosive or
contaminated atmosphere. Make sure all combustion and
circulating air requirements are met, in addition to all
local codes and ordinances.
CAUTION: Do not use this furnace during construction
when adhesives, sealers, and/or new carpets are being
installed. If the furnace is required during construction,
use clean outside air for combustion and ventilation.
Compounds of chlorine and fluorine when burned with
combustion air form acids which cause corrosion of the
heat exchangers and metal vent system. Some of these
compounds are found in paneling and dry wall adhesives,
paints, thinners, masonry cleaning materials, and many
other solvents commonly used in the construction pro-
cess.
Excessive exposure to contaminated combustion air will
result in safety and performance related problems.
This furnace must be installed so the electrical components are
protected from water. This furnace shall not be installed directly on
carpeting, tile, or any combustible material other than wood
flooring.
Locate furnace as close to the chimney/vent and as near the center
of the air distribution system as possible. The furnace should be
installed as level as possible.
When a furnace is installed so that the supply ducts carry air 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.
Provide ample space for servicing and cleaning. Always comply
with the minimum fire protection clearances shown on the unit
rating plate.
B. Location Relative to Cooling Equipment
The cooling coil must be installed parallel with or on the
downstream side of the unit to avoid condensation in the heat
exchangers. When installed parallel with a furnace, dampers or
other means used to control the flow of air must prevent chilled air
from entering the unit. If the dampers are manually operated, they
must be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit
unless the damper is in the full-heat or full-cool position.
C. Hazardous Locations
When the furnace is installed in a residential garage, it must be
installed so that the burners and ignition source are located at least
18 in. above the floor. The furnace should be protected from
physical damage by vehicles. When a furnace is installed in public
garages, airplane hangars, or other buildings having hazardous
atmospheres, the unit must be installed in accordance with the
recommended good practice requirements of the National Fire
Protection Association, Inc.
II. AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
Provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air must be
provided in accordance with Section 5.3 of the NFGC, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation, or applicable provisions of the local
building codes.
Canadian installations must be installed in accordance with NSC-
NGPIC and all authorities having jurisdiction.
