The following steps are needed for proper installation and safe

operation of your furnace. If you have any doubts as to any

requirements, obtain professional help. Remember to ALWAYS

consult your local heating or plumbing inspector, building

department or gas utility company regarding regulations, codes,

or ordinances which apply to the installation and location of a

vented wall furnace.

IMPORTANT

For satisfactory and trouble-free operation, be sure to:

1. Locate the furnace properly within the space to be heated.

2. Install the furnace in accordance with local codes or

ordinances and instructions provided. In the absence of

local codes or ordinances, install the furnace to conform

with the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code,

NFPA 54, ANSI Z223.1/Canadian Installation Code,

CAN/CGA B149.

3. Maintain minimum clearances: Floor 2½-inches, ceiling 16-

inches, side wall 1-inch.

4. Provide enough combustion and ventilation air.

Locating Wall Furnace & Thermostat

The furnace is installed between 2x4 inch wall studs spaced on

16-inch centers or a stud space that can be framed in to 16-

inches.

Consider the following points before attempting to install the

furnace:

CAUTION: Do not make cutouts in the wall or

ceiling before checking in the attic for ceiling joist

locations and proposed venting.

1. Locate the furnace near the center of the space to be

heated for good air circulation. Do not put it behind a door

or draperies. Do not install the furnace where it could be

isolated by closing doors to the heated space. Do not

locate the furnace where a door could swing over the front

panel or where circulation could be retarded by furniture or

cabinets.

2. Check the minimum spacing needs as shown in Figure 1.

3. The top of the furnace must be at least 16-inches from the

ceiling.

4. When the furnace is properly installed with legs resting on

the floor plate, it sets the dimension from the face panel to

the bare floor. (Approximately 2½-inches depending on the

thickness of floor plate).

5. A protective barrier (metal or wood), cut to match the width

and depth of the furnace, should be used to cover over

any floor coverings such as carpet or vinyl under the

furnace. At no time should the dimension from the bottom

of the face panel to the protective barrier be less than 1½-

inches.

6. In the space to be heated, the side of the furnace may be

as close as 1-inch to an intersecting wall. The recessed

portion may have 0-inches clearance to combustible

material.

7. Select a location that will provide adequate accessibility

clearance for servicing and proper operation.

8. After picking a location, inspect the wall, floor, attic and

roof areas. Make sure there are no pipes, wiring, bracing,

etc., that will interfere with furnace or vent installation. If

required, move them or pick a new installation location.

9. Be sure that gas piping and electrical wiring can be

brought to the location. Electrical wiring is required for

optional blower accessory.

10. If installing the thermostat on the wall, locate the

thermostat approximately 5-feet above the floor on an

inside wall where it will sense the average room

temperature.

After picking a location that meets the requirements, check the

walls, attic and roof to make sure there are no obstructions such

as pipes, electrical wiring, etc., which could interfere with the

installation of the furnace or vent pipe. If required, move them or

pick a new location.

WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily

injury or loss of life. Do not install the furnace in any

area where oxygen is in use.

Combustion & Ventilation Air

WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily

injury or loss of life. The furnace and any other fuel-

burning appliances must be provided with enough

fresh air for proper combustion and ventilation of

flue gases. Most homes will require that outside air

be supplied into the heated area.

The high cost of energy for home heating has brought about new

materials and methods used to construct or remodel most current

homes. The improved construction and additional insulation has

reduced the heat loss and made these homes much tighter

around windows and doors so that infiltrated air is minimal. This

creates a problem to supply combustion and ventilation air for

gas-fired or other fuel burning appliances. Any use of appliances

that pull air out of the house (clothes dryers, exhaust fans,

fireplaces, etc.) increases this problem and appliances could be

starving for air.

The combination of a tight energy efficient home with the use of

exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and gas appliances result

in more and more air being drawn from the house until fresh air

may be sucked back into the house down a furnace flue or

fireplace chimney. Carbon monoxide can be the result. Carbon

monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas produced when fuel is

not burned completely or when the flame does not receive

sufficient oxygen. Automobiles, charcoal, wood fires and

improperly vented or air-starved coal, oil and gas furnaces or

other appliances can produce carbon monoxide.

Do not install furnace in the same room or near a wood solid fuel

burning fireplace.

BE AWARE OF THESE AIR-STARVATION SIGNALS:

1. Headaches, nausea, dizziness.

2. Excessive humidity shown by heavily frosted windows or a

moist "clammy" sensation.

3. Fireplace smoke fills the room or will not draw.

4. Furnace flue backs up.

AIR REQUIREMENTS

The requirements for providing air for combustion and ventilation

are listed in the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 (in

Canada: CAN/CGA B149). Most homes will require that outside

air be supplied to the heated area by means of ventilation grilles

or ducts connecting directly to the outside or spaces open to the

outdoors such as attic or crawl space. The only exception is when

the heated area meets the requirements and definitions for an

unconfined space with adequate air infiltration.

All air openings and connecting ducts must comply with the

following:

If the furnace is installed in an area with another gas appliance(s),

the total input rating of all appliances must be considered when

determining the free area requirements for combustion and

ventilation air openings.

Ducts must have the same cross-sectional area as the free area

of the openings to which they connect. The minimum dimension

of rectangular air ducts must not be less than 3-inches in length or

height.

Locating Wall Furnace & Thermostat (continued)

WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily injury or loss of life. Even when a house meets

requirements for unconfined space with adequate air infiltration, it is recommended that a fresh air intake be

installed to lessen the possible dangers from any future changes on the home

Installing Your Furnace

Combustion & Ventilation Air (continued)

LOUVERS / GRILLES AND SCREENS COVERING

FREE AREA OPENINGS

If a screen is used to cover the opening(s), it must not be smaller

than 1/4-inch mesh. Use the free area of a louver or grille to

determine the size opening required to provide the free area

specified. If the free area is not known, assume a 20% free area

for wood and a 60% free area for metal louvers or grilles.

INFILTRATION AIR

If your furnace is in an open area (unconfined space), the air that

leaks through the cracks around doors and windows may be

enough for combustion and ventilation air. The doors should not

fit tightly. The cracks around windows should not be caulked or

weather stripped.

Spillage means air starvation. A fresh air duct or air intake

opening must be installed to provide air directly to the furnace or

other gas appliances.

If spillage exists or when the furnace is in a building of tight

construction where the windows and doors are weather stripped,

air for combustion and ventilation must be obtained from outdoors

or space open to the outdoors.

To determine if infiltration air is adequate, perform the following

checks:

1. Close all doors and windows. If you have a fireplace, start a

fire and wait until flames are burning vigorously.

2. Turn on all exhausting devices, i.e., kitchen and bathroom

exhaust fans; water heaters (gas and electric).

3. Turn on all vented gas appliances, i.e., heating equipment

(includes any room heaters), water heaters.

4. Wait ten (10) minutes for drafts to settle.

5. Check for draft hood spillage at each appliance. Hold a lit

match two-inches from the draft opening. (Figure 2).

A. No Spillage

If the match flame pulls toward draft hood, this indicates sufficient

infiltration air. Return exhausting devices and appliances to the

condition you found them.

B. Draft Hood Spills

If there is spillage at a draft hood (match goes out or flame wavers

away from draft hood), check for plugged flue connectors and

chimneys. Repair blockage and test again.

If you have a fireplace, open a window or door near the fireplace

and then check for spillage. If spillage stops, do not use the

fireplace without a nearby window or door open until you can

supply fresh air by a permanent duct.

If you have kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans, turn them off and

check for spillage. If spillage stops, do not use exhaust fans

(circuit breakers for fans should be turned off) until you can supply

fresh air by a permanent duct.

Provide opening(s) having a total free area of one-square-inch per

4,000 Btu/hr. of the total combined input ratings for all appliances

in the area. The required free area is shown in Figure 3. This

fresh air opening or duct must terminate at a point not more than

one-foot above the floor. It must have at least one-square inch of

free area for each 4,000 Btu/hr. of input of all appliances in area.

FURNACE LOCATED IN UNCONFINED SPACE

An unconfined space must have a volume of a minimum 50 cubic

feet per 1,000 Btu/hr. of the total combined input of all appliances

in the area. Adjoining rooms may be included only if there are no

doors between the rooms or if special provisions are made such

as ventilation grilles installed between connecting rooms. Figure

4 outlines the minimum area in square feet, based on 8-foot

ceiling heights for various Btu/hr. input ratings.

FURNACE LOCATED IN CONFINED SPACE

If a furnace is installed in a confined space, it must be provided

with free air for proper combustion and ventilation of flue gases by

one of the following methods:

A. Air From Inside the Building

If the confined space adjoins an unconfined space, provide two

permanent openings. One within 12-inches of the top and another

within 12-inches of the bottom of the room directly connected to

the unconfined space. Each opening must have a free area of at

least 100-square inches or 1-square inch per 1,000 Btu/hr. of

input for all appliances combined.

WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily

injury or death. The adjoining unconfined space

must have adequate air infiltration.

B. Air From Outdoors

If confined space does not adjoin an unconfined space, then air

must be provided from outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors

such as an attic or crawl spaces.

Openings for inlet or outlet air should NOT be made into an attic

area if the attic is equipped with a thermostat controlled power

vent.

Provide two permanent openings, one within 12-inches of the top

and bottom of the room connecting directly to, or by using ducts,

with the outdoors or areas open to fresh air.

If the opening connects directly to, or with vertical ducts, the free

area of each opening must be at least 1-square inch per 4,000

Btu/hr. of the combined input of all appliances in the area.

If horizontal ducts are used, the free area of each opening must

be at least 1-square inch per 2,000 Btu/hr. of the combined input

of all appliances in the area.

WARNING: Danger of illness, bodily injury or

death. Draft hood spillage, with unobstructed vents,

indicates that additional air must be brought into the

structure from the outside. Keep a window open

(minimum 2-inches) near the appliance until a

permanent air duct is installed.

to be installed. Work from the top in the attic. If there is no

access to the top, remove the wall covering between the two wall

studs all the way to the ceiling. Work through this opening. Cut

out the entire plate so the plate edges will be even with the inner

face of the 2x4 studs. (Figure 7).

INSTALL VENT BASE PLATE (HOLD-DOWN PLATE)

Position base plate on top of header plate and fasten with screws.

Note: Hold down plate is not included.

HEADER PLATE (VENT SUPPORT)

Measure upward 62¼-inches from the top of the floor plate. Place

a mark on each stud at this distance. (Figure 5). Place the

header plate between the studs with the lower edges even with

marks on the studs. Make sure header plate is level.

Locate rear edge of nailing tabs at back of the header. Nail

header plate to the 2x4 studs which will center the vent collar in

the wall. (Figure 5).

INSTALL CEILING PLATE SPACER

Nail the ceiling plate spacers either across or in between the cut

out section of ceiling plate. If nailed between, ends must be bent

at 90 degrees. They must be fastened along each long edge of

the ceiling plate hole to hold the oval vent pipe in the center of the

hole. Ceiling plate spacers preserve structural strength and

position oval vent pipe in the center of the cut out opening.

Ceiling plate spacers are not included. (Figure 7).

Surface Mount Installation

The use of the optional Free Standing Accessory No. 4901 allows

single-sided furnaces to be surface mounted instead of recessed

into a wall. This is ideal for remodeling existing masonry wall

construction or when studding is substandard. This kit drastically

cuts installation time and eliminates the expense of cutting into

the walls and ceiling plates. Be sure this accessory is of the type

and design required for the use with your furnace.

NOTE: After picking a location that meets the requirements,

check the wall, attic, and roof to make sure there are no

obstructions such as pipes, electrical wiring, etc., which could

interfere with the installation of the furnace or vent pipe. If

required, move them or pick a new location.

FIND THE WALL STUDS OR CEILING JOISTS

Find two studs or joists at the spot where the furnace is to be

located. Use a stud locator or small finishing nails. Repeatedly

drive and remove a nail into the wall or ceiling in the area of the

stud or joust until you find it. Then find the its side and leave the

nail there. Drive another nail just on the other side other the same

stud or joist.

The inside of the next stud or joist should be about 14½ inches

from the first one found. Drive a nail on the inside of this stud or

joist.

Using the nails as a guide, draw two lines down the side of the

wall from the ceiling to locate the furnace and ceiling hole cutout

for venting.

Vent Installation

The vent installation must comply with all local codes and

ordinances. If in doubt, consult your local codes or inspector.

The furnace vent must be directed to the outdoors so that harmful

combustion gases will not collect inside the building.

This furnace must not be connected to a chimney flue serving a

separate solid-fuel burning appliance.

This product is design certified to ANSI Z21.86. It must be

installed with a U.L. tested and listed type "B" approved vent and

type "B/W” approved vent (Figure 8). Older style terra-cotta,

transite, clay, concrete or masonry type vent pipe cannot be used

with this appliance. These types of vent pipe will not heat fast

enough to establish a draft, which will result in improper venting of

combustion products. Consequently, this could cause the vent

safety control system to shut down the furnace.

The area above header within the stud space MUST be kept clear

of any attic insulation to allow the free circulation of air around the

oval vent piping. In some areas the building code requires the

use of an attic shield.

The B/W vent must extend through the ceiling and roof

terminating at least 12-feet above the finished floor on which the

furnace rests.

INSTALL FURNACE VENT

Attach a 4-foot length of oval, double-wall vent pipe through the

plate spacers to the hold-down plate. Push the vent pipe into the

hold-down plate until it is completely seated. The hold-down cleat

will engage the groove in the vent pipe.

COMPLETE THE VENTING

Type B/W gas vent shall extend from the header plate of the

furnace to a point above the highest ceiling plate within the stud

space through which the vent passes, without any offsets or

crossovers. The first vent pipe offset, (if required), may not be any

closer than 2-feet from the header. After a type B/W gas vent

passes through the highest ceiling plate within a stud space

above the furnace to which it serves, the vent system may be

completed with a Type B gas vent, from the SAME manufacturer

(do not mix brands of pipe). Offsets cannot be greater than 45

degrees from vertical. Refer to The Uniform Mechanical Code.

Install the oval-to-round adapter. Complete the piping extending it

through the roof. Use a 4-inch round, double-wall (Type B) vent

pipe, roof flashing, storm collar and vent cap as shown. The vent

cap must be at least 2-feet higher than any point that is within 10-

feet of the vent cap. There must be at least a 1-inch clearance

between the vent pipe and any combustible material.

Figure 8 – Typical Vent Installation

CAUTION: To avoid damage to wiring, be sure to

route the wires away from the path of the furnace

vent.

and raise furnace carefully (Figure 9). Swing bottom of furnace

into wall recess with front edges of legs flush with 2x4 floor plate.

In the holes provided, nail through the legs into studs or floor plate

(Figure 10).

Do not damage gasket glued to underside of header plate when

placing furnace in wall. Avoid nailing the legs so tightly that it

disturbs the inner furnace casing. Do not try to force the furnace

into a smaller-than-specified recess.

REAR OUTLET KIT INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)

If a Rear Outlet Register Accessory is used, the following

procedure must be completed before placing furnace body into

wall recess. (Figure 11). Attach speed nuts to outer shield and

remove knockout plates from both the outer and inner shields as

follows:

1. Punch in the lower corners with a screwdriver blade.

2. Break the knockout side and bottom connecting tabs by

holding a screwdriver blade sideways against the tab and

striking the head of the screwdriver lightly with a hammer.

3. Swing the plate outward; bend it back and forth to break the

top tabs. Use caution when handling sharp metal edges.

GAS PIPING

The gas supply line must be of adequate size to handle the Btu/hr.

requirements and length of the run for the unit being installed.

Determine the minimum pipe size from Figure 13, based on the

length of the run from the gas meter to the unit.

All piping must comply with local codes and ordinances or with the

National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1 NFPA No. 54), whichever

applies. (In Canada: CAN/C.GA B149). Refer to FIGURE 14 for

the general layout of the unit. It shows the basic fittings needed.

The following rules apply:

1. Use new, properly reamed steel or black iron pipe and

fittings free of metal chips and debris that are approved by

local codes. Metal chips and debris can damage the valve.

2. Do not thread pipe too far. Valve distortion or malfunction

may result from excess pipe within the gas control valve.

Apply a moderate amount of good quality dope to the pipe

only. Leave the two end threads bare. (Figure 15). L.P.

gas installations require a dope compound resistant to the

action of liquefied petroleum gases. Excess dope going into

the valve may cause it malfunction.

Gas Supply and Piping (continued)

CHECKING THE GAS PIPING

Test all piping for leaks. When checking gas piping to the furnace

with gas pressure less than 1/2 PSI, shut off manual gas valve to

the furnace. If gas piping is to be checked with the pressure at or

above 1/2 PSI, the furnace and manual shutoff valve must be

disconnected during testing. (SEE WARNING). Apply soap

solution (or a liquid detergent) to each joint. Bubbles forming

indicate a leak. Correct even the slightest leak at once.

WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily

injury or death. Never use a match or open flame

to test for leaks. Never exceed specified pressures

for testing. Higher pressures may damage the gas

valve and cause over-firing which may result in

component(s) failure. L.P. gas is heavier than air

and may settle in any low area, including open

depressions and it will remain there unless the area

is ventilated.

Never attempt start-up of unit before thoroughly

ventilating the area and smelling near the floor for

gas odor.

Front Panel Installation

Installing Your Furnace

Thermostat Installation

Williams’ furnaces are operated by a millivolt type thermostat.

Current to the thermostat is supplied by the pilot generator. Do

not connect it to electricity. Anticipator settings are not required.

1. Use of existing wire is acceptable if it is in a satisfactory

location and the wire is in good condition. When in doubt,

use new wiring.

2. If a new location is chosen or if this is a new installation,

thermostat wire must first be run to the location selected.

All wiring must agree with local codes and ordinances.

These instructions cover bringing the wire down from the

attic but it may be run from a basement or crawl space

using similar methods.

3. Before drilling a hole in the wall at the selected location,

drive a small finish nail through the ceiling in the corner of

the wall and ceiling above the thermostat location. Pull the

nail out and push a small, stiff wire through the hole so it

can be found in the attic. Drill a ½-inch hole through the

ceiling wall plate.

4. Probe for obstructions in the partition. Then, drill a ½-inch

hole through the wall at the selected location for the

thermostat.

5. From the attic, feed the thermostat wire through the wall

until even with the thermostat location.

6. Snag the thermostat wire through the hole and pull the wire

through the hole in the wall so that 6-inches of the wire

protrude.

7. Route wires to the furnace.

8. Never use nails or staples across the thermostat wires.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection

when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause

improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper

operation after servicing. Refer to installation

instructions packed in the thermostat carton if you

have any doubt about the above procedures.

WALL-MOUNTED THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION

1. To remove the thermostat cover, squeeze both sides and lift.

2. Connect the thermostat wires to the terminal screws on the

base of thermostat.

3. Push any excess wire back through hole in the wall and

plug hole with insulation to prevent drafts from affecting

thermostat operation.

4. Be sure to level the thermostat for best appearance. Fasten

thermostat base to the wall through mounting holes with

screws provided.

5. Replace the thermostat cover.

6. Do not run wire in any location where it might be damaged.

Avoid splicing the thermostat wires unless the spliced wires

are properly cleaned, soldered and taped.

7. Use the 18-gauge wire as supplied for a maximum length of

20-feet. If a longer length is needed, use 16-gauge wire to

a maximum length of 25-feet.

8. Connect the thermostat wires to the control valve as shown

in Figure 17.

FACE PANEL-MOUNTED THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION

1. Before removing the face panel, disconnect the thermostat

wires at the gas valve.

2. Locate the knockout on the right side of the furnace to

mount the thermostat. Remove the knockout by tapping it

lightly with a screwdriver (Figure 18). It will also be

necessary to cut a 1/2-inch hole in the inside panel

insulation for clearance to the knockout.

3. Cut the thermostat wire to 56 inches.

4. Connect the thermostat wires to terminal screws on the

thermostat base.

5. Feed the thermostat wires through the knockout and route

them through the metal clip to the gas valve.

6. Mount the thermostat to the side of the cabinet with screws

provided.

7. Replace the thermostat cover.

8. Connect the thermostat wires to the control valve as shown

in Figure 17.

Start-Up Procedure

WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily

injury or loss of life. Liquefied Petroleum (L.P.) Gas

is heavier than air and may settle in any low area,

including open depressions and may remain there

unless area is ventilated. Never attempt start-up of

unit before thoroughly ventilating the area.

Check the furnace operation as outlined in the following

instructions. If any sparking, odors or unusual noises are

encountered, shut off electric power immediately. Recheck for

wiring errors or obstructions in or near fan motor (if equipped).

WARNING: Natural gas heating value (Btu per

cubic foot) can vary significantly. Therefore, it is

the installer's responsibility to see that Btu/hr. input

to the furnace is adjusted properly. Failure to do so

could cause combustion chamber failure,

asphyxiation, fire or explosion resulting in damage,

bodily injury or death. Refer to the National Fuel

Gas Code (NFPA 54) to be sure the furnace is

burning fuel at the proper rate.

CHECK GAS INPUT AND PRESSURES

For furnaces located at elevations between sea level and 2,000

feet, the measured input must not be greater than the input shown

on the nameplate of the furnace. For elevations above 2,000 feet,

the measured input must not exceed the input on the nameplate

reduced by 4 percent for each 1,000 feet that the furnace is above

sea level.

Gas supply pressure and manifold pressure with the burner(s)

operating must also be as specified on the nameplate.

Rated input will be obtained on a heating value of 2,500 Btu/hr. for

propane at 10-inches manifold pressure with factory-sized

orifices. If L.P. gas having a different heating value is supplied,

orifices must be changed by a qualified service technician before

the furnace is operated.

CHECK THE MANIFOLD GAS PRESSURE

A tapped opening is provided in the gas valve to facilitate

measuring manifold gas pressure. A water column manometer

having a scale range from 0 to 12-inches of water column should

be used for this measurement. The manifold pressure must be

measured with the burner and pilot operating. Any major changes

in the flow must be made by changing the size of the burner

orifice.

CHECK THE GAS INPUT (NATURAL GAS ONLY)

Under firing could cause inadequate heat, excessive

condensation or ignition problems. Over firing could cause

shooting flame impingement or overheating of the combustion

chamber. Before starting natural gas input check, obtain the

heating value of gas (Btu per cubic foot) at standard conditions

from your local gas supplier.

To measure the input, using the gas meter, proceed as follows:

1. Turn off gas supply to all other appliances except the

furnace.

2. With the furnace operating, time the smallest dial on the

meter for one complete revolution. If this is a 2-cubic-foot

dial, divide the seconds by 2. If it is a 1-cubic-foot dial, use

the time in seconds as is. This gives the seconds per cubic

foot of gas being delivered to the furnace.

3. Assuming natural gas with a heating value of 1,000 Btu per

cubic foot and 34-seconds per cubic foot used as

determined by step (2), then:

Seconds per hour = 3,600

Input = 1,000 x 3,600 / 34 = 106,000 Btu/hr.

This measured input must not be greater than the input

indicated on the nameplate of the furnace.

4. Relight all other appliances turned off in Step 1 above. Be

sure all pilots are operating.

CHECK THERMOSTAT

Check thermostat operation. When set above room temperature

shown on the thermostat, the main burner should light. Make

certain the thermostat turns off the furnace when the room

temperature reaches the selected setting and starts the furnace

when room temperature falls a few degrees below the thermostat

setting.

Start-Up Procedure (continued)

CHECK PILOT BURNER

The pilot flame must surround the generator tip from 1/4 to 3/8-

inches. Pilot flame is preset at the factory, so ordinarily it does not

require field adjustment. (Figure 19). On new installations, the

gas lines will be filled with air and may take several minutes to

establish a pilot flame.

BURNER FLAME CHARACTERISTICS

Start the furnace and let it operate at least ten minutes. Open the

access door to view the burner flame. Limit your movements near

the furnace a few more minutes before making your final

observations. The flame may look yellow due to dust particles in

the room air. The flame should change to a nice blue color with

firm inner and secondary cones. An occasional flash of orange

might be seen as dust particles burn in the flame. This is normal.

No burner adjustment is provided, or is necessary. (Figure 20).

NORMAL APPEARANCE

Natural Gas:

1. Inner coneblue in color3/8 to 5/8-inches above ports.

2. Secondary inner conelight blue in color1 to 2-inches

above ports.

3. Total flamefrom blue in color to nearly invisible

approximately 6-inches above ports.

L.P Gas:

1. Inner coneblue in color1/2 to 3/4-inches above ports.

2. Secondary inner conelight blue in color1 to 2-inches

above ports.

3. Total flamefrom blue in color to nearly invisible

approximately 6-inches above ports.

ABNORMAL APPEARANCE

Lazy Flame:

Long, soft yellow cones moving around in the combustion

chamber lifting from ports (insufficient air).

Extremely Fast Flame:

Flame will not hold to portsentire cone sections blow off from

noisy ports (too much pressure).

WARNING: If flame appears abnormal, contact the

gas company or a qualified service technician

immediately.

2. Heat builds up in the furnace and starts the fan (if

equipped). The heated air comes out the front panel

louvers.

3. When the thermostat setting is reached, it shuts off the main

burner.

4. The fan runs until the heat is removed from the furnace,

then it turns off (if equipped).

Your furnace is equipped with a 100% safety pilot that will shut off

the gas supply in case the pilot is not burning or functioning

properly. Make sure the pilot is adjusted properly and that the

pilot generator connection at the control valve is tight. If the

furnace will not stay lit, call your local gas utility or a qualified

service person.

If furnace is equipped with a manual spark igniter, follow these

steps:

1. Review the pilot lighting instructions.

2. When instructed to “Light the Pilot,” depress the red button

located on the burner pan for pilot ignition. If necessary,

depress the red button vigorously several times for pilot

ignition.

3. If pilot fails to ignite or a spark is not present while actuating

the red button or by using a match, repeat steps 5 through

10 listed in "Lighting the Pilot.”

WARNING: The surface of the furnace is hot

during operation. Keep children, clothing, furniture,

and flammable material away from it. Keep all

access doors and panels in place except for

inspection and maintenance. On new installations,

the gas lines will be filled with air and it may take

several minutes to establish the pilot flame.

WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily

injury or death. If the furnace overheats or fails to

shut off, close manual shutoff gas valve to the

furnace before turning off electrical power to the

accessory fan.

IMPORTANT:

KEEP BURNER AND CONTROL COMPARTMENT CLEAN.

OPERATION OF YOUR FURNACE

WARNING: Protect your eyes against the danger

of ignition flash and eye injury or blindness. Never

refinish or paint.

FURNACE AREA

Keep the area near the furnace clear and free from combustible

materials, gasoline and other flammable liquids and vapors.

COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR

The combustion and ventilation air supply must not be blocked.

Do not put anything in or on the furnace cabinet. For better

circulation and more effective heating, do not place obstructions,

furniture or other items closer than four-feet in front of the furnace

or two-feet from each side of the furnace.

CLEANING BLOWER (IF APPLICABLE)

Shut off electricity. Clean any lint or dirt from fan blades, fan

motor and exposed air passages.

BURNER CLEANING

If cleaning is required, contact a qualified service technician to

clean and service burner. To remove burner(s):

1. Open burner compartment door.

2. Shut off gas supply to furnace.

6. Clean all foreign materials from the top of the burner.

7. After cleaning, replace burner pan assembly by reversing

above procedure.

PILOT BURNER

Using the instructions in "Lighting the Pilot”, leave thermostat at its

lowest setting. Pilot flame should surround the generator tip 1/4

to 3/8-inches. If flame needs adjusting, do so as follows:

1. Insert small screwdriver into the pilot adjusting screw

(Figure 23). Adjust flame as needed. Turn screw

counterclockwise to increase flame, clockwise to decrease.

2. Turn thermostat to highest setting. Main burner should light

quickly and smoothly. Turn thermostat to lowest setting.

How to Care for Your Furnace (continued)

CLEANING THE BURNER COMPARTMENT

Because cold air is attracted to the flame during furnace

operation, a buildup of lint from carpeting, bedding, dust, etc. in

the burner area will occur. It is necessary to clean this area

regularly. Use a vacuum cleaner with a narrow attachment to

reach small areas. Be careful in and around the pilot. A change

in its adjustment could be made if moved during cleaning. A

properly adjusted burner with nearly all gases will produce a flame

which has clear blue cone having a bluish-red or bluish-violet

outer mantle.

This blower accessory is installed on the furnace top and

increases circulation of warm air through the heated space. A

115V electrical outlet adjacent to the furnace is required. For

automatic setting, you must select the "HI" or "LOW" fan switch

position. When the furnace heats up, the automatic fan switch will

be activated and the fan will operate. The blower accessory will

not operate if the fan switch is set in the "OFF" (center) position.

Be sure this accessory is of the type and design required for use

with your furnace.

1. Turn off electric power supply at the disconnect switch, fuse

box or service panel before installation or service to the

blower accessory.

2. Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing. Wiring

errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify

proper operation after servicing.

3. Install a 115V electrical outlet as shown in Figure A.

4. Remove the two (2) screws securing the blower grille and

remove the blower grille as shown in Figure B.

5. Remove the two (2) screws securing the junction box cover.

Remove the cover to gain access to the knockout located in

the junction box.

6. Locate the knockout and remove it using a hammer and

screwdriver. Use caution when handling sharp metal edges.

7. Place the blower body on furnace top as shown in Figure B.

8. Route 115V wiring into the junction box through the

knockout.

9. Make wiring connections inside the junction box as shown in

Figures C and D. Follow applicable local and national

electrical codes. All electrical work must conform to your

local codes and ordinances or in their absence, with

National Electrical Code, NFPA 70/ANSI. If you are not

familiar with wiring codes in general, have a competent

electrician do this job.

Drill a 1/8-inch diameter hole in each side of the furnace

face panel through the holes located on the sides of the fan

cabinet. Secure the blower to the furnace with the two

screws provided.

10. Replace the junction box cover, securing it with the screws

previously removed

11. Replace the blower grille, securing it with the screws

previously removed.

12. Set the switch to the desired position. If left in “HI” or

“LOW” position during the summer months, the blower

could be activated by heat. If this is undesirable, set

the switch to the “OFF” position.

Installing Your Blower Accessory

Blower Accessory 2901 and 2907

DANGER: The build-up of any dust, lint or foreign

material in the primary air opening of the burner

can interfere with the proper air gas mixture and

can result in a yellow flame which can produce

carbon monoxide and soot. This condition, if

allowed to develop, can lead to bodily injury

including death. It is imperative that the burner be

kept clean.

CAUTION: Danger of property damage, bodily

injury or death. Turn off electric power supply at

Motorized Rear Outlet Register 6919 and 6920

WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily injury or

death. Turn off all electrical power supply at disconnect switch,

fuse box or service panel before removing or working on fan.

For your protection against shock hazard, this appliance is

equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug and should be

plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong

receptacle. Do not cut or remove the prong. All electrical work

must conform to your local codes and ordinances or in their

absence, with National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70. In

Canada, use the Canadian Electrical Code C22.1. If you are

not familiar with the wiring codes in general, have a competent

electrician do this job.

MOTORIZED REAR OUTLET REGISTER 6919 AND 6920

This Rear Outlet Register directs some of the heated air into the

room opposite the one in which the furnace is installed. Read

these instructions carefully and familiarize yourself with the

installation before you begin. Use gloves to protect your hands

from sharp metal edges.

BLOWER SETTINGS

You must select "ON" for continuous blower operation or "AUTO"

for automatic setting. If the blower is set on "AUTO" when the

furnace heats up, the heat sensor switch is activated and the

blower will operate until the furnace cools down, then the blower

will turn off. The blower will not operate if fan switch is set in the

"OFF" (center) position.

LOCATION WARNING

This register must be centered between studs and aligned with

the furnace for proper engagement. Make sure the furnace is

centered between the same studs before you cut any wall

openings for the register.

1. Measure and mark wall for opening as shown in Figure A.

Check the wall for any electrical wiring present before

cutting the opening. Reroute existing electrical if necessary.

2. If recessed-mounted installation, place the plaster ground in

the opening and attach to the 2x4 studs.

3. An embossed knockout plate is located on the rear of the

outer shield and another is located directly behind it on the

inner shield. (Figure B). Remove the knockout plates on

the furnace by punching in the lower corners of the plate

with a screwdriver blade. Then, holding the screwdriver

blade sideways against the side and bottom connecting

tabs, strike the head of the screwdriver lightly with a

hammer to break the tabs. Swing the plate outward and

bend it back and forth to break the top tabs. Both knockout

plates must be removed in order to attach the register

assembly properly. If the inner shield knockout is not

embossed deep enough to be removed easily, mark an

outline using the existing opening as a guide. Use tin snips

to cut the area away. A pilot hole may be needed to begin

the first cut. Take care not to damage the combustion

chamber directly behind the inner shield when making a

pilot hole.

4. Attach speed nuts to the outer shield (Figure B). After the

furnace is in position, insert the outlet register into the

opening as shown in Figures C, D and E. Install machine

screws through the register housing and into the speed nut

clips on the furnace outer shield. Do not over tighten the

screws.

5. After the register has been either wired, (Figure F), or

plugged in, set the fan switch to the desired blower

operation.

CAUTION: Do not install this kit where the outlet grille

may be blocked or covered by a door, curtains or any

other obstructions.
