reverse ow of the ue gas may result in incomplete com-
bustion and the formation of carbon monoxide gas. This
toxic gas might then be distributed throughout the house
by the furnace duct system.
In upow applications, the return air can be brought in
through the bottom or either side of the furnace. If a fur-
nace with bottom return air is installed on a platform, make
an airtight seal between the bottom of the furnace and
the platform to ensure that the unit operates properly and
safely. Use berglass sealing strips, caulking, or equiva-
lent sealing method between the plenum and the furnace
cabinet to ensure a tight seal. If a lter is installed, size the
return air duct to t the lter frame.
Venting
A 4-inch diameter ue transition is factory-installed on
the combustion air inducer outlet of all models. Figure 16
shows the combustion air inducer as shipped from
the factory.

IMPORTANT
The unit will not vent properly with the ue transition
pointed down in the 6 o’clock position. The combustion
air inducer may be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise
by 90° to allow for top or side vent discharge in all
applications. When the unit is installed, the ue transition
must be in the 9 o’clock, 12 o’clock or 3 o’clock position.
If necessary reposition the combustion air inducer, pres-
sure switch and or make up box as needed per the follow-
ing steps and see gures 16 through 22.
1 - Remove the four mounting screws (gure 15)
whic secure the combustion air inducer / pressure
switch assembly to the orice plate. Lift and rotate
the assembly 90 degrees clockwise or counter
clockwise to either the 3 o’clock position or to 9
o’clock position and re-secure with four screws.
Gasket should be left in place.
2 - Use tin snips to cut preferred opening on the
cabine for repositioning the ue outlet. Use the cut
out piece as a cover plate to patch unused opening
on cabinet.

Gas supply piping must be brought into the unit from the right
side in order to accommodate the flue pipe.
Remove make-up box assembly (2 screws) and cut wire tie to
free make-up box wires. Re-install make-up box on other side
of cabinet.
Re-secure make-up box wires, either pulling excess wires
through the blower compartment and securing with supplied
wire tie, or coil excess wire and secure to the gas manifold.
