NOTE: In Canada, gas furnaces are only certified to 4,500 ft
(1,371.6 m).
Contact your local distributor for a tabular listing of appropriate
manufacturer's kits for propane gas and/or high altitude
installations. The indicated kits must be used to insure proper
furnace operation. All conversions must be performed by a
qualified installer or service agency.

Installation Configurations

This furnace may be installed in an upright position or horizontal
on either the left or right side panel.
NOTE: Do not install this furnace on its back.
For upright upflow furnaces, the return air ductwork may be
attached to the side panel(s) and/or base pan.
For horizontal upflow furnaces, the return air ductwork must be
attached to the base pan.
For both the upright or horizontal counterflow furnaces, the
return air ductwork must be attached to the base pan (top end of
the blower compartment).
NOTE: Do not attach the ductwork to the back of the furnace.
Contact your local distributor for the proper airflow requirements
and the number of required ductwork connections. See the
"Recommended Installation Positions" illustrations for the
appropriate installation positions, ductwork connections and the
resulting airflow arrangements.

Installation for Horizontal Applications
Horizontal applications dictate airflow direction, ductwork
connections and flue and combustion air pipe connections. The
basic application of this furnace as a horizontal furnace differs
only slightly from an upright installation. When installing a furnace
horizontally, additional consideration must be given to the drain
trap and lines, leveling the furnace, alternate vent/flue and
combustion air connections, alternate electrical and gas line
connections, the drain pan, freeze avoidance and furnace
suspension.
