GAS FURNACES

II line of upflow/horizontal gas furThe Rheem ® Criterion ® naces are designed for utility rooms, closets, alcoves, or attics. Because of the Criterion’s low-profile 34 inch

[864 mm] height, the upflow model can also be used to satisfy most applications that traditionally call for a horizontal furnace.

The design is certified by CSA.

■

Features

Patented Heat Exchanger, constructed of both stainless and aluminized steel for the maximum in corrosion resistance.

Low profile “34 inch” design is lighter and easier to handle, and leaves room for optional equipment.

Convertible from upflow to horizontal left or right without field conversion.

Left or right side gas and electric inlet connections with quick, simple change.

Direct spark ignition models utilize remote sense and feature an integrated board with humidifier and electronic air cleaner hookups.

Insulated blower compartment helps to reduce jacket loss and noise.

Pre-paint galvanized steel cabinet.

Molded permanent filter.

Grab-holes in doors to aid in easy door removal and replacement.

A variety of cooling coils and plenums designed to use with

Rheem Criterion II gas furnaces are available as optional accessories.

These furnaces can be installed in an upflow position or laid on either side in a horizontal position. No field converting required.

✝A.F.U.E. (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) calculated in accordance with Department of

Energy test procedures.
