PRODUCT DESIGN

General Operation

This GUIC/GCIC furnace is equipped with an electronic

ignition device to light the burners and an induced draft

blower to exhaust combustion products.

An interlock switch prevents furnace operation if the blower

door is not in place. Keep the blower access doors in place

except for inspection and maintenance.

This furnace is also equipped with a self-diagnosing elec-

tronic control module. In the event a furnace component is

not operating properly, the control module LED will flash

on and off in a factory-programmed sequence, depending

on the problem encountered. This light can be viewed

through the observation window in the blower access door.

Refer to the

Troubleshooting Chart

for further explanation

of the LED codes and

Abnormal Operation - Integrated

Ignition Control

section in the Service Instructions for an

explanation of the possible problem.

The rated heating capacity of the furnace should be greater

than or equal to the total heat loss of the area to be heated.

The total heat loss should be calculated by an approved

method or in accordance with “ASHRAE Guide” or “Manual

J-Load Calculations” published by the Air Conditioning Con-

tractors of America.

Location Considerations

• The furnace should be as centralized as is practical

with respect to the air distribution system.

• Do not install the furnace directly on carpeting, tile,

or combustible material other than wood flooring.

• When suspending the furnace from rafters or joists,

use 3/8" threaded rod and 2” x 2” x 3/8” angle as

shown in the Installation and Service Instructions.

The length of the rod will depend on the application

and clearance necessary.

• When installed in a residential garage, the furnace

must be positioned so the burners and ignition source

are located not less than 18 inches (457 mm) above

the floor and protected from physical damage by ve-

hicles.

High Altitude Derate

When this furnace is installed at high altitude, the appro-

priate High Altitude orifice kit must be installed. This is re-

quired due to the natural reduction in the density of both

the gas fuel and combustion air as altitude increases. The

kit will provide the proper design certified input rate within

the specified altitude range.

PROPANE AND HIGH ALTITUDE KITS

High altitude kits are purchased according to the installa-

tion altitude and usage of either natural or propane gas.
