ALL MODELS
• Alcove installations: minimum 18” clearance at front
of furnace shall be provided for future servicing. A
removable access panel should be installed between
top of the furnace door frame and the ceiling.
• Closet installations must use a louvered door having
a minimum free area of 235 in2 when located 6” from
furnace or 390 in2 for 5 ton MG1 furnaces. For special
clearance between 1” - 6”, requirements are a louvered
door with a minimum of 250 in2 free area, with the
openings in the closet door in line with the louvered
openings in the furnace door. A fully louvered closet
door may be used. See Circulating Air Requirements
section (page 7).
• The furnace must be kept free and clear of insulating
material. Examine the furnace area when the furnace is
installed or when insulation is added. Insulating material
may be combustible.
• The furnace shall be appropriately located to the supply
and return air distribution system (page 7). Sides and
back of the furnace may be enclosed by wall framing.
See Minimum Clearances section on page 6.
• The furnace installation is only intended for free air return
through the furnace door louvers. DO NOT connect a
ducted return air system directly to the furnace. Improper
installation may create a hazard and damage equipment,
as well as void all warranties.
• Furnace may be installed on combustible flooring when
using manufacturer approved duct connectors. See
page 7.
• When installed in a residential garage, the furnace must
be positioned so the burners and the source of the
ignition are located no less than 18 inches above the
floor and protected from physical damage by vehicles.
CIRCULATING AIR REQUIREMENTS
WARNING:
Do not allow combustion products to enter the
circulating air supply. Failure to prevent the
circulation of combustion products into the
living space can create potentially hazardous
conditions including carbon monoxide poisoning
that could result in personal injury or death.
The surface that the furnace is mounted on must
provide sound physical support of the furnace
with no gaps, cracks or sagging between the
furnace and the floor or platform.
Circulating air ductwork must not be connected
to any other heat producing device such as a
fireplace insert, stove, etc. This may result in fire,
explosion, carbon monoxide poisoning, personal
injury, or property damage.
Return Air
U.S.A. home manufacturers shall comply with all of the
following conditions to have acceptable return air systems
for closet installed forced air heating appliances:
• The return air opening into the closet shall not be less
than specified in the appliance’s listing.
• The cross-sectional area of the return duct system
leading into the closet, when located in the floor or
ceiling shall not be less than 235 in2.
CAUTION:
HAZARD OF ASPHYXIATION: Do not cover or
restrict return air opening.
• Means shall be provided that prevent inadvertent closure
of flat objects placed over the return air opening located
in the floor of the closet (versus the vertical front or side
wall).
• The total free area of openings in the floor or ceiling
registers serving the return air duct system must be at
A Single trunk duct
Dual trunk duct

the furnace blower operating on high speed,
shall be no more negative than minus 0.05 inch
water column.
• Test the negative pressure in the closet with the aircirculating fan operating at high speed and the closet
closed. The negative pressure is to be no more negative
than minus 0.05 inch water column.
• Air conditioning systems may require more duct register
and open louver area to obtain necessary airflow.
Supply Air
For proper air distribution, the supply duct system must be
designed so that the static pressure measured external
to the furnace does not exceed the listed static pressure
rating shown on the furnace rating plate.
Location, size, and number of registers should be selected
on the basis of best air distribution and floor plan of
the home. The supply air must be delivered to the
conditioned space by duct(s) secured to the furnace
casing, running full size and without interruption.
Three typical distribution systems are shown in Figure 5

Standard Duct Connector Installation
General Information
1. Center the duct connector in the floor opening with
bottom tabs resting on top of the supply air duct.
2. Mark the cut-out area on the supply air duct by tracing
around the connector tabs of the duct connector. See
Figure 8 (page 8).
3. Remove the duct connector and cut out the marked
area of the supply air duct 1/4” larger the actual cutout
drawn.
• The furnace must be leveled at installation and attached
to a properly installed duct system. Do not use the
back of the furnace for return air. See page 7
for circulating requirements.
• The furnace must be installed so that all electrical
components are protected from water
• The dimensions of the room or alcove must be able to
accommodate the overall size of the furnace and the
installation clearances listed in Table 1, (page 6)
and Figure 1 (page 5)
• The furnace must be installed upstream from a
refrigeration system.
• MG1 series gas furnaces are certified for use on wood
flooring or supports, but must be installed on top of a
duct connector. This factory supplied accessory must
be installed in the floor cavity and attached to the supply
air duct before the furnace is installed.
Locating & Cutting Duct Openings
Floor cut-outs and fuel line holes must be carefully located
to avoid misalignment of the furnace, and vent piping.
To locate standard ducts see Figure 6 (page 8). For
round ducts, see Figure 7 (page 8).
1. Measure 10” from the rear wall or alcove and mark the
centerline of the cut-out on the floor.
2. Using the centerline as a starting point, draw the rest
of the duct cut-out to the dimensions shown in Figure
6 or Figure 7.
3. Cut out the floor opening 1/16” larger than the actual
cutout drawn. This will allow some clearance when
installing the duct connector.
4. Measure from the top of the floor down to the top of the
supply air duct to obtain the depth of the floor cavity.
NOTE: The depth of the floor cavity shown as “X” in
Figure 9 (page 8) will determine the correct duct
connector.
5. Determine which duct connector to use from Table 2,
(page 9).
6. Measure and drill gas hole and cut out for cooling coil
(if applicable). See Figure 6 or Figure 7.
IF FLOOR
CAVITY
“X” IS:
The standard duct connector is designed for use on
ducts 12” in width. Ducts narrower than 12” may not
allow sufficient clearances for this type of installation. See
Alternate Attachment Method section below.

Table 5. Voltage Specifications & Thermostat Wire Gauge
Low Voltage Wiring
• The furnace is designed to be controlled by a 24 VAC
thermostat. The thermostat’s wiring must comply with
the current provisions of the NEC (ANSI/NFPA 70) and
with applicable local codes having jurisdiction.
• The thermostat must be installed according to the
instructions supplied by the thermostat manufacturer.
Low voltage connections (24 VAC) from the thermostat
are wired to the terminal strip on the integrated control
in the furnace.
• The thermostat should be mounted about 5 feet above
the floor on an inside wall. DO NOT install the thermostat
on an outside wall or any 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.
Refer to the thermostat manufacturer’s instruction sheet
for detailed mounting information.
• The nominal anticipator setting is 0.4. Refer to the
thermostat literature for additional information.
• Best practice is to use five-wire conductor thermostat
wire for 24 volt low-voltage circuit (2-wire is required
for furnace only; 5-wire for heating and optional cooling
systems). Refer to Table 6, (page 17) for thermostat
wire information.
Verifying Anticipator Setting
After the furnace is installed, check the thermostat
anticipator against the nominal setting of 0.4.
1. Connect the milliamp meter in series with one of the
gas valve’s low voltage terminals.
2. Energize the gas valve.
3. Read the value of the milliamps.
4. Adjust the heat anticipator of the thermostat to the
value on the milliamp meter. If the heat anticipator is
set too high, the furnace may delay turning on. If set too
low, the furnace may cycle frequently and not provide
comfort to the homeowner.
Grounding
WARNING:
To minimize personal injury, the furnace cabinet
must have an uninterrupted or unbroken electrical
ground. The controls used in this furnace require
an earth ground to operate properly. Acceptable
methods include electrical wire or conduit
approved for ground service. Do not use gas
piping as an electrical ground!
Connecting Thermostat Wires
1. Insert 24 volt wires through the plastic grommet just
above the control panel.
2. Connect the thermostat wires to the furnace low voltage
pigtails (dependent on the installation application). See
Figure 25 and Figure 26 (page 14). NOTE: If AC is
installed with the furnace, a Y connection is required
to be made at the furnace. See Figure 32 (page 27)
and Figure 33 (page 28).
3. Connect low-voltage circuit to the wall thermostat.
4. A hole may be made in the furnace cabinet to ease
thermostat wiring. Make sure that the wiring is protected
from the sharp edge of the added hole.

Leak Check
WARNING:
AVERTISSEMENT :
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Failure to follow safety warnings exactly could
result in serious injury, death or property
damage.
RISQUE D’INCENDIE OU D’EXPLOSION
Le non-respect des avertissements de sécurité pourrait
entraîner des blessures graves ou des dommages matériels
importants.
Never test for gas leaks with an open flame.
Use a commercially available soap solution
made specifically for the detection of leaks
to check all connections. A fire or explosion
may result causing property damage, personal
injury or loss of life.
N’effectuez jamais d’essai d’étanchéité des gaz avec une
flamme nue. Utilisez une solution savonneuse offerte sur
le marché conçue spécialement pour la détection des
fuites pour vérifier tous les raccordements. Un incendie ou
une explosion pourrait survenir et causer des dommages
matériels, des blessures ou des pertes de vie.
17
After the gas piping to the furnace is complete, all
connections must be tested for gas leaks. This includes all
fittings, pipe connections at the main gas valve, emergency
shutoff valve, and flexible gas connectors (if applicable).
The soap and water solution can be applied on each
joint or union using a small paintbrush. If any bubbling is
observed, the connection is not sealed adequately and
must be retightened. Repeat the tightening and soap
check process until bubbling ceases.
CAUTION:
When pressure testing gas supply lines at
pressures greater than 1/2 psig (14 inch W.C.), the
gas supply piping system must be disconnected
from the furnace to prevent damage to the gas
control valve. If the test pressure is less than or
equal to 1/2 psig (14 inch W.C.), close the manual
shut-off valve
Flue Gas Sampling
It may be necessary to take flue gas sampling in order
to check the performance after furnace installation. A
flue gas sample may be taken from the heat exchanger,
which is located behind the hole of the top-front of blower
compartment.
1. Turn off all electric power to the appliance.
2. Remove the black plastic cap located above the blower.
Do not discard cap.
3. Drill a hole through the top of the blower compartment.
NOTE: Hole diameter should be same size as sampling
tube.
4. Insert sampling tube through the drilled hole and into
the heat exchanger.
5. After a complete check and adjustment of furnace
performance, seal the drilled hole with a screw larger
than the hole. NOTE: Seal the screw threads with silicon
sealant - rated at least 500° F.
6. Plug the outside hole with the plastic cap removed in
step 3.
High Altitude Conversion
WARNING:
The reduction of input rating necessary for high
altitude installation may only be accomplished
with factory supplied orifices. Do not attempt to
drill out orifices in the field. Improperly drilled
orifices may cause fire, explosion, carbon
monoxide poisoning, personal injury or death.
High altitude conversion with this furnace depends on
the installation altitude and the heating value of the gas.
The installation of this furnace at altitudes above 2,000
feet must meet the requirements of the National Fuel Gas
Code or local jurisdiction. In Canada, the requirements for
high altitude are different and governed by CSA B149.1.
Always consult your local code authority.
18
This furnace is shipped from the factory with orifices and
gas regulator settings for natural gas operation at sea
level altitudes. At 2,000 feet, the NFGC requires that this
appliance be derated 4% for each 1000 feet of altitude. For
example, the input needs to be reduced 8% at 2,000 feet,
12% at 3,000 feet and etc. This deration is in reference to
the input rate and gas heating value at sea level.
To derate the furnace requires knowing the heating value of
the gas at the installation site. Heating values at particular
job sites vary for two reasons:
1. The chemical mixture of the gas varies from region to
region and is expressed as the “sea level heating value”.
2. The heating value varies by altitude. For this reason,
especially in high altitude areas, the local gas utility
specifies the heating value at the residence’s gas meter
as the “local value”.
For added flexibility, two tables have been provided for
natural gas installations with high or low heating values
at sea level. Table 12, (page 26) & Table 13, (page 26)
contain the manifold pressure and orifice sizes to use
at various altitudes. Table 12 (HIGH) is for natural gas
installations with a heating value of more than 1,000 Btu
per cubic foot and Table 13 (LOW) is for less than 1,000
Btu per cubic foot. To determine which table to use:
1. Consult the local utility for the local heating value at
your installation site.
2. From Table 11, (page 26), find your local heating value
as supplied by the utility company. Follow down the
column and stop at your altitude level.
3. If your sea level heating value is HIGH, use Table 12
or if it’s LOW, use Table 13. See Example.
After changing the orifices, it is required that you measure
the gas input rate. This may be accomplished in the usual
way, by clocking the gas meter and using the local gas
heating value. See Verifying Input Rate (page 21).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Observe the action of the burners to make sure there
is no yellowing, lifting or flashback of the flame.
Installation Example
Elevation:.................................................... 5,000 feet
Type of Gas:.............................................Natural Gas
Local Heating Value of Gas:................................750
Determine which natural gas table to use. From Table
11, (page 26), find 750 and follow down the column,
stop at the 5,000 feet row. The heating value listed is
LOW. Table 13, (page 26) will be used to determine
orifice size and verify manifold pressure.
Conversion to Propane (LP) Gas
WARNING:
This furnace was shipped from the factory
equipped to operate on natural gas. Conversion
to LP/propane gas must be performed by qualified
service personnel using factory supplied
conversion parts. Failure to use the proper
conversion kit can cause fire, explosion, property
damage, carbon monoxide poisoning, personal
injury, or death.
WARNING:
Shut off the gas supply at the manual gas shutoff
valve, before disconnecting the electrical power.
A fire or explosion may result causing property
damage, personal injury or loss of life. Failure to
follow the safety warnings exactly could result in
serious injury, death or property damage.
WARNING:
To avoid electric shock, personal injury, or death,
turn off the electric power at the disconnect or the
main service panel before making any electrical
connections.
This furnace can be converted from factory-equipped
natural gas to liquid propane gas. Conversion of this valve
requires replacement of the burner orifice and flipping the
regulator cap to the side marked LP. The orifice required
for conversion is supplied with the furnace. See Figure 27.
For altitudes between 0 and 1,999 feet, use the factory
supplied LP orifice as shown in Table 6, (page 17).
Altitudes between 2,000 and 10,000 feet require the orifice
to be changed. Table 14, (page 29) lists the correct orifice
size and manifold pressure at different altitudes.

Operating Instructions
(Direct Ignition Furnaces)
Direct ignition furnaces do not have a pilot. Ignition is
accomplished by a hot surface ignitor. A circuit board
takes care of all timing functions. After lighting, the circuit
board uses the ignitor as a flame sensor, shutting off gas
should the flame go out. There are no external relays or
timing devices. Do not try to light this furnace by hand.
The circuit board is not field serviceable.
1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
2. Turn off all electric power to the appliance.
3. Remove the furnace door and turn off the gas valve.
Push in and turn the gas control knob clockwise to OFF.
See Figure 29 (page 21).
4. Wait ten (10) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell
gas, STOP! and follow the Safety Information. If you
do not smell gas, proceed to step 5.
5. Set the thermostat MODE the ON position.
6. Turn the gas valve ON. Push in and turn gas control
knob counter-clockwise to ON (Figure 29).
7. Replace the furnace door.
8. Turn on all electric power to the appliance.
9. Change the thermostat mode to HEAT and the
temperature selector to a desired temperature level.
The igniter should light in approximately 75 seconds.
If the appliance will not operate, see “How to Shut Off
Gas - Direct Ignition” on page 21 and call your service
technician or gas supplier.
NOTE: In the event of any flashback or explosion,
immediately shut off the furnace and call your service
technician.
How to Shut Off Gas - Direct Ignition Models
1. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.
2. Turn off all electric power to the appliance before
servicing unit.
3. Set the furnace On-Off Switch to OFF.
4. Turn gas control knob clockwise to OFF (Figure 29).
5. Replace the furnace door.
Verifying Input Rate
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The input rate must not exceed the rate shown on the
furnace rating plate. At altitudes above 2,000 feet, it
must not exceed that on the rating plate less 4% for
each 1,000 feet.
The input rate must be verified for each installation to
prevent over-firing of the furnace. To determine the exact
input rate, perform the following procedures:
1. Shut off all other gas fired appliances.
2. Start the furnace and run it for at least 3 minutes.
3. Measure the time (in seconds) required for the gas
meter to complete one revolution.
4. Convert the time per revolution to cubic feet of gas per
hour using Table 9, (page 25).
5. Multiply the gas flow rate in cubic ft per hr by the heating
value of the gas in Btu per cubic ft to obtain the input
rate in Btuh. See example.
Example:
• Time for 1 revolution of a gas meter with a 1 cubic ft
dial = 40 seconds.
• From Table 9 read 90 cubic ft gas per hr.
• Local heating value of the gas (obtained from gas
supplier) = 1,040 Btu per cubic ft.
• Input rate = 1,040 x 90 = 93,600 Btuh.
as close to the furnace as possible. To avoid false
readings, the thermometer on the supply air side must be
shielded from direct radiation from the heat exchanger.
2. Adjust all registers and duct dampers to the desired
position and run the furnace for 10 to 15 minutes in
high fire before taking any temperature readings. The
temperature rise is the difference between the supply
and return air temperatures.
For typical duct systems, the temperature rise will fall
within the limits specified on the rating plate with the
blower speed at the factory recommended setting. If
the measured temperature rise is outside the specified
limits, it may be necessary to change the speed of the
blower. NOTE: Lowering the blower speed increases the
temperature rise and a higher blower speed will decrease
the temperature rise.
The furnace is equipped with a multi-tap ECM motor. For
alternate motor tap selections see Table 15, (page 29) &
Table 16, (page 30).
Burner Adjustments
CAUTION:
• Adjustment must be made only by a qualified
technician. Improper air adjustment may
cause unsafe operation, explosion and/or fire
asphyxiation.
• If the input to the furnace is too great because
of excessive gas pressure, wrong size nozzle or
orifice, high altitude, etc., the burner flame will
be sooty and can produce carbon monoxide,
which could result in unsafe operation,
explosion and/or fire or asphyxiation.
Burner settings are made at the factory. However, these
settings may change during shipping, handling, and
installation. The following items should be checked and
readjusted if necessary.
Gas Pressure
The gas pressure can be checked with a manometer at
the pressure tap located on the top of the gas valve.
Natural gas manifold pressure should be 3.5” W.C. and
L.P. gas manifold pressure should be 10” W.C. Replace
the gas pressure tap plug on the gas valve. See Figure
27 (page 17).
6. The manifold pressure must be verified for each
installation by a qualified installer, service agency or
the gas supplier. See page 19.
Verifying & Adjusting Temperature Rise
Confirm the temperature rise through the furnace is
within the limits specified on the furnace rating plate. Any
temperature rise outside the specified limits could result
in premature failure of the heat exchanger.
1. Place thermometers in the return and supply air stream

differential pressure and energizes the gas valve.
3. After a 45 second purge, the control energizes the Hot
Surface Ignitor (HSI) output for the appropriate warm-up
time. After warm up, the gas valve opens. NOTE: The
time for ignition is approximately 6 seconds, after which
the gas valve either remains open if flame is sensed,
or closes if flame is not sensed.
4. If flame is not sensed, the sequence repeats four more
times before a lockout occurs. To reset, wait 30 seconds
and then interrupt the 24 VAC power by turning the room
thermostat below room temperature, then returning it
to the original set point.
5. If flame does not establish on the 5th attempt (initial
fire + 4 re-tries), the control de-energizes the gas valve,
the red LED flashes 4 times, and the furnace locks out
heat operation for 1 hour. See Table 7 and Table 8,
(page 22).
6. If a flame is present, the control energizes the main
blower on heat speed 30 - 45 seconds after the gas
valve opens.
WARNING:
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fails
to shut off, shut off the manual gas valve to the
furnace before shutting off the electrical supply.
7. When call for heat is satisfied the thermostat contacts
open, the gas valve shuts off gas flow and the combustion
blower remains on for a 30 - 45 second post-purge
period.
8. The main blower is de-energized after a 120 - 150
second blower off delay.
TROUBLESHOOTING
High Gas Bills
a. Verify the proper orifice is being used. See Table 6,
(page 17).
b. Check the return air system. Is it clear and free of

FURNACE CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Furnace On / Off Switch: This switch turns electrical
power to the furnace on and off. The switch must be set
in the ON position for the furnace to operate. If blower
operation is not desired, the furnace On-Off switch may
be set in the Off position to cut the electrical power to the
furnace. See Figure 27 (page 16).
Necessary when the furnace is used with packaged
air conditioners
If an air conditioner is installed that does not use the furnace
blower for air distribution and operates independently o
the furnace, the thermostat system must have an interlock
to prevent the furnace and air conditioner from operating
at the same time. This interlock system usually contains
either a “Heat-Cool” switch which must be turned to one
of the positions to activate heat or cool operation, or a
positive “OFF” switch on the cooling thermostat.
Limit Control: This furnace is protected by two high
temperature safety limit switches. The auxiliary (upper)
limit switch and the high temperature (lower) limit switch
are automatic reset types. If either limit trips, the burner
will shut off. If either limit switch trips off again soon after
resetting, set the furnace furnace On-Off switch to the
Off position and call your authorized serviceman. See
Figure 27.
Blower Off Delay: When the blower fan operates under
cooling mode, there is a 40 second delay after the call
for cooling (from the thermostat) is satisfied before the
blower turns off.
Gas Valve: The gas valves for the gas furnaces are a
100% shut-off type and will fail safe, if for some reason
the gas is turned off. The valve is a “slow-open” for MG1
models which means it opens to a low-fire position, and
after a few seconds, “steps-open” to high-fire.
Summer Cooling : The unit is equipped to use a 4-wire
thermostat. When using a 5-wire thermostat, RC and
RH should be jumped (see instructions included with
thermostat). NOTE: The MG1 furnace requires a Y
connection to the furnace. See Figure 32 (page 27) and
Figure 33 (page 28).
The furnace must also be equipped with an automatic
damper to prevent cold air from being discharged up around
the heat exchanger (p/n 901996 for furnaces without coil
cavity, or p/n 901083 with coil cavity). See Figure 30 or
Figure 31. Cold air may cause condensation inside the
heat exchanger which can rust and lead to early failure.
Optional Add-On Air Conditioning
Whether split system or single package, an energysaving air conditioner is available that has been designed
specifically for manufactured housing applications and can
best handle your home comfort needs. Ask your dealer or
contractor about add-on central air conditioning systems.
Single package unit includes cooling coils, compressor,
and vertical discharge fan. This type of unit connects with
the existing home air duct system (an optional close-off
damper is required with the furnace).
Split system unit with vertical discharge for quiet operation
connects with cooling coil furnace (optional coil cavity
required with “A” model furnaces).
MAINTENANCE
Installer Information
All furnaces need periodic service at the beginning of each
heating season. Call your qualified service contractor for
these items:
• Remove the air circulator and clean all dust and lint
from the unit with a stiff bristle brush.
• Inspect the combustion chamber blower compartment,
flue collar and Roof Jack.
• Check the gas valve (if applicable) and fuel line
connections for leaks.
• Make any adjustments necessary for good operation.
WARNING:
Figure 30. With Coil Cavity Damper
Use of furnace or air conditioning components
that are not included in the certification of
this appliance may create a hazard, invalidate
the certification, and in many states, make
installations illegal. Listed air conditioning
components are specified on the furnace label.

NOTES:
1. To comply with government mandated efficiency standards, two openings are required for airflows above 1,600 CFM.
2. Data is shown without filter.
3. Temperature rises in the table are approximate. Actual temperature rises may vary.
4. Individual cells shaded in gray indicate a temperature rise outside of the recommended range.
5. To comply with government mandated efficiency standards, speed settings shaded in gray are not allowed in HEAT mode.
6. The “*” denotes the factory heat and cool setting. If a different motor speed is needed, the appropiate wire from the “HEAT” or “COOL” tap
on the control board must be connected to the desired Tap (1-5) at the motor.
