VENTING SYSTEM
WARNING:
CARBON-MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD
Failure to folow instructions could result in severe
personal injury or death due to carbon-monoxide
poisoning if combustion products infiltrate into
the building.
Check that all oepnings in the outsdie wall around
the vent (and air intake) pipe(s) are sealed to prefent
infiltration of combustion products into the building.
Check that furnace vent (and air intake) terminal(s)
are not obstructed in any way during all seasons.
AVERTISSEMENT :
RISQUE D’INTOXICATION AU MONOXYDE
DE CARBONE
Si ces directives ne sont pas suivies, cela peut entraîner
des blessures graves ou une intoxication au monoxyde de
carbone pouvant causer la mort, si des produits de combustion
s’infiltrent dans le bâtiment.
Vérifier que toutes les ouvertures pratiquées dans le mur
extérieur autour du ou des tuyaux d’évent (et de la prise d’air)
sont scellées de manière à empêcher l’infiltration de produits
de combustion dans le bâtiment.
Veiller à ce que la ou les sorties de l’évent de l’appareil
de chauffage (et la prise d’air) ne soient, en aucune façon,
obstruées, quelle que soit la saison
WARNING:
It is extremely important that the furnace receives an
unobstructed flow of clean, fresh air to properly burn
the fuel gas. If this flow of air is restricted, the partially
burned combustion gases may create dangerous
amounts of carbon monoxide - a colorless, odorless
gas that is a deadly poison that can cause personal
injury or death. This could create the production of
excessive amounts of Carbon Monoxide - a colorless,
odorless gas that is a deadly poison that could result
in serious personal injury or death.
Do not block any openings that are supplying fresh air
to the room or closet the furnace is in. Your furnace
obtains its air through a pipe to the outdoors, do not
allow the inlet of the pipe to become blocked.
• For proper and safe operation, this furnace requires unrestricted
airflow for combustion and ventilation. Do not block or obstruct air
openings on the furnace, air openings around the furnace area
or the spacings around the furnace.

ABOUT THE FURNACE
• This furnace has been tested for capacity and efficiency in
accordance with AHRI Standards and will provide many years
of safe and dependable comfort, providing it is properly installed
and maintained. With regular maintenance, this unit will operate
satisfactorily year after year. Abuse, improper use, and/or improper
maintenance can shorten the life of the appliance and create
unsafe hazards.
• This furnace is designed to fulfill the requirements of being
classified as a Category IV furnace. This classification is related
to the furnace’s Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating,
the percentage of fuel that is converted into usable heating energy.
• Category IV furnaces typically have an AFUE rating over 90%
and are mainly vented through plastic PVC pipe.
AIR FILTERS
WARNING:
Never operate the furnace without a filter in place.
Accumulating dust in the return air can build up on
internal components, resulting in loss of efficiency,
equipment damage, and possible fire.
• An air filter is supplied with the furnace as shipped from the

• The furnace should always have a clean filter. If the filter becomes
dirty, it should be cleaned or replaced. The filter is installed over
the return air grille of the door inside the furnace cabinet.
• New or newly renovated homes may require more frequent
changing or cleaning until the construction dust has minimized.
Filters designed to remove smaller particles such as pollen, may
require additional maintenance.
THERMOSTAT
• Single stage gas furnaces (M7RL series) are designed to be
controlled by a conventional single stage thermostat. Two-stage
gas furnaces (M7TL series) will perform best with a conventional
two-stage thermostat. However, it is possible to control the M7TL
furnace with a single stage thermostat. Consult with your installer
about which type is best for your installation. Both thermostats
are commonly available at your local building supply store.
• The thermostat’s wiring must comply with the current provisions of
the NEC (ANSI/NFPA 70) and with applicable local codes having
jurisdiction. Thermostat connections should be made according
to the instructions supplied with the thermostat and the indoor
equipment.
• The thermostat should be mounted about 5 feet above the floor
on an inside wall and not on an outside wall or other location
where its operation may be adversely affected by radiant heat
from fireplaces, sunlight, or lighting fixtures, and convective heat
from warm air registers or electrical appliances.
• Thermostat styles vary. Please refer to the thermostat
manufacturer’s User Manual for detailed programming instructions.
FURNACE IN A SMALL ROOM OR CLOSET
If a furnace is installed in relatively small utility room or closet, the
installation needs openings in the walls or door to let return air
in. Make sure that these openings remain unobstructed. Do not
modify these openings in any way without consulting a licensed
HVAC technician.
SOURCES OF CORROSION

GENERAL INFORMATION
6
Proper maintenance is important to achieve optimum performance from the furnace. This equipment should be inspected annually by a
licensed HVAC technician.
Table 1, (page 7) contains suggested inspections and frequency of maintenance. Routine maintenance
should include the following:
BLOWER & FILTER
• Never operate the furnace without a filter in place. Dust and lint
can build up on internal components, resulting in loss of efficiency,
equipment damage, and possible fire.
• Keep air filters cleaned. Filters should be changed or cleaned
monthly during the heating/cooling season. Clean or replace filter
to maintain proper airflow and achieve maximum efficiency. Newly
built or renovated homes may require more frequent changing
until the construction dust has minimized. Filters designed to
remove smaller particles such as pollen, may require additional
maintenance.
• It is recommended that the blower compartment be cleaned of
dirt or lint that may have accumulated in the compartment or on
the blower and motor as part of the annual inspection.
CONDENSATE DRAINAGE
• This furnace produces liquid condensate which is slightly acidic.
The vent pipe must be sloped upwards away from the furnace
to properly drain the water back into the condensate disposal
system.
• Condensate drain tubes must maintain a downward slope to
ensure proper drainage. Periodically inspect the condensate
drain tube for proper drainage. Also, do not place heavy objects
on the tubing that restricts the flow of condensate.
FURNACE & AIR DUCTS
• Homeowners should perform frequent visual inspections of the
furnace for obvious signs of deterioration. The furnace should be
sound without sagging, cracks gaps, etc around the base. The
return air duct connection(s) is secured and sealed to the furnace
cabinet and terminates outside the area containing the furnace.
Any signs of damage or loose connections should be repaired
by a qualified HVAC technician.
• Furniture and drapery should be arranged so that the supply air
registers and return grilles are not obstructed.
VENTING SYSTEM
• For proper and safe operation, the furnace needs air for combustion
and ventilation. Do Not block or obstruct air openings on the
furnace, or any air openings where the furnace may be installed,
including any surrounding spaces.
• Direct vent furnaces pull combustion air from the outdoors and
vent combustion products back outside. Combustion air coming
from the outside needs to be clean of chemicals that can cause
corrosion, such as pool chlorinating products.
• Vent pipe must slope upwards and be physically sound without
holes or corrosion. Any corroded section of vent pipe must be
replaced, and any obstruction or blockage must be removed by
a licensed HVAC technician.
• Flue passageways, the vent system, and the burners should be
inspected and cleaned (if required) by a licensed HVAC technician
annually to ensure continued safe operation.
If the furnace fails to operate check the following:
1. Is the thermostat setting correct?
2. Is the On / OFF switch (inside the blower compartment) turned
on? See
Figure 3, (page 8).
3. Is the circuit breaker tripped?
4. Is the gas turned on at the manual shutoff?
5. Is the filter dirty or clogged?
If the furnace still doesn’t operate, contact a licensed HVAC
technician.
