WARNING: Gas leaks cannot always be detected by smell. Gas suppliers recommend that you use a gas detector approved by UL or CSA. For more information, contact your gas supplier. If a gas leak is detected, follow the “What to do if you smell gas” instructions. The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn of potential exposure to such substances. -
Page 4: Location Requirements
Location Requirements All models are suitable for closet or utility room installation. WARNING Utility room installation requires: A door opening large enough for the widest part of the furnace. A door opening large enough to remove/replace any other appliance located in the utility room, such as a water heater. Any other appliances arranged so that each appliance can be removed/replaced without disturbing the furnace. -
Page 5: Installation Configurations
Installation Configurations WGFDU and WFCU models must be installed only as upflow 1. Cut a hole in the floor, sized to provide 1" (2.5 cm) clearance furnaces. between all 4 sides of the duct and the edge of the flooring. -
Page 6: Electrical Requirements
Existing Venting Systems Electrical Requirements When an existing furnace is removed or replaced, the original WARNING venting system may no longer be sized to properly vent the attached appliances. An improperly sized venting system can result in the spilling of flue products into the living space, the formation of condensate, leakage, etc. - Page 7 When a furnace is installed in an unconfined space in a building, Venting Options it can be assumed that the infiltration will be sufficient to supply the required air. The furnace can be installed as either direct vent or nondirect If the furnace is installed in a ventilated attic or crawl space, it is vent units.

Page 8: Installation Instructions
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: WARNING The venting system must be supported with mounting straps to keep any weight load from being applied to the vent blower. Horizontal vent pipe must be supported every 5 ft and vertical pipe should be supported every 10 ft to avoid sagging and provide rigid support. - Page 9 Vent Pipe Size and Length The vent pipe and air intake pipe (in direct vent installations) should be sized in accordance with the information found in the Vent Table charts. One 90° elbow is equivalent to 5 ft (1.5 m) of pipe. Two 45° elbows are equivalent to one 90° elbow. The minimum length certified for use with this furnace is 5 ft (1.5 m) and one elbow, not including the vent and air intake terminals.
