IMPORTANT

Before installing and using your Clayton furnace, please

read the following pages thoroughly and carefully. If you

follow the instructions, your Clayton furnace will give you

safe and more dependable service for years to come.

• First step: Check your local codes. This installation must

comply with their rulings.

• Do Not install this furnace in a mobile home or trailer
• Always have a smoke or ionization detector and a CO

detector installed in your home.

• To prevent injury or damage, do not allow anyone

who is unfamiliar with the furnace to operate it.

• This furnace

must be installed ONLY in the prescribed

manner shown in illustrations 1, 2, or 3 under the

In-

stallation Examples in this manual. It is NEVER to be

installed as a counter-flow or down-draft furnace, or

in any manner wherein the heated air is directed in a

downward flow into the home or toward to an existing

central furnace.

•

NEVER INSTALL outside the home.

• Spend adequate time with your furnace to become

well acquainted with the different settings and how

each will affect its burning patterns. It is impossible to

state just how each setting will affect your furnace be-

cause of the variations in each installation.

DISCLAIMER NOTICE

The BTU ranges and heating capacity specifications are

provided as a guide and in no way guarantee the output

or capacity of this unit. The actual BTU output depends

on the type of fuel being burned and its conditions, the

thermostat setting, the draft adjustment and the chimney

to which the unit is attached. The actual area that this

unit will heat depends on factors such as the conditions

of the building, heat loss, type of construction, amount of

insulation, type of air movement, the location of the unit

and more importantly the duct work and return air facility.

Warning:

Do not alter this appliance in any way other than speci-

fied in these instructions. Doing so may void your warranty.

CAUTION:

DO NOT store

combustible or

flammable materials or

liquids near the

furnace.

REDUCED CLEARANCES

NFPA guidelines and most codes permit reduced clear-

ances to combustible walls and ceilings if adequate

protection is added. A common mistake is to assume

that sheet metal, masonry, or millboard placed directly

against a wall protects it. Materials installed in this man-

ner actually provides very little protection. These materials

are good heat conductors, so they will be almost as hot

on their back side as they are on the exposed side. There-

fore, the combustible wall behind is still a fire hazard.
A wall can be kept cool using these items but only if they

are mounted and spaced out from the wall by an inch

or two to allow free air circulation behind the protective

panel. The protective panel should also have a gap be-

tween the floor and ceiling.
Three rules to follow when constructing wall protectors:

1. Non-combustibility of all materials including mount-

ing and supporting.

2. A well ventilated air space between protector and wall.
3. Sufficient strength and rigidity so that the protector

and air space will be durable.

Do not place the furnace directly on a combustible floor.

If you are placing it on a combustible floor, an approved

fire retardant material, equivalent to 3/8” UL Listed mill-

board, should be placed under the unit. The material must

extend at least 16 inches beyond the front of the unit and

8 inches on either side of the fuel loading door opening.

It must also extend underneath the chimney connector

and to each side of the connector by at least 2 inches.
