WELCOME TO A NEW GENERATION
OF COMFORT
Congratulations! In light of rising energy costs, the 58MCB,
58MXB, 58MTB, and WeatherMaker Infinity, Multipoise, Gas-
Fired Condensing Furnaces are among the soundest investments
today’s homeowner can make.
Your new furnace is truly a triumph of technology in home heat-
ing. A revolutionary design employs 2 heat exchangers to
“squeeze” out the maximum amount of heat from the fuel con-
sumed. In fact, your new furnace is so efficient, over 90%* of the
heat generated during combustion is captured and delivered inside
your home. That is more than a 33%* increase in heating effi-
ciency over conventional furnaces.
These are among the most energy-efficient furnaces you can buy to-
day. They also are among the safest and most dependable. We are
proud of the technological advances incorporated into the design of
these furnaces.With only minimal care, your new furnace will deliver
many years of money-saving home comfort and enjoyment. Spend
just a few minutes with this manual to learn the operation of your new
furnace and the small amount of maintenance it takes to help keep it
operating at peak efficiency year after year.
*The output capacity and any representations of efficiency for this furnace are based on standard
U.S. Department of Energy test procedures.

SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Recognize safety information. This is the safety-alert sym-
bol . When you see this symbol on the furnace and in
instructions or manuals, be alert to the potential for personal
injury.
Understand the signal words—DANGER, WARNING,
CAUTION and NOTE. DANGER, WARNING and
CAUTION are used with the safety-alert symbol. DANGER
identifies the most serious hazards which
will result in severe
personal injury or death. WARNING signifies hazards which
could result in personal injury or death. CAUTION is used
to identify unsafe practices which
may result in minor per-
sonal injury or product and property damage. NOTE is used
to highlight suggestions which
will result in enhanced instal-
lation, reliability or operation.
To minimize the possibility of serious personal injury, fire,
furnace damage, or improper operation;
carefully follow
these safety rules:
• Your new gas furnace may have been installed in 1 of 2
ways, as a direct-vent (2-pipe) application or as a non-direct
vent (1-pipe) application.
• In a direct-vent (2-pipe) application, your furnace uses air
from outside the home for combustion and vents flue gas to
the outdoors. This type of application will have 2 pipes run-
ning from the furnace to the outdoors. (See Fig. 5.) In this
application, the vent and air-intake pipes must terminate out-
side the structure and must not be obstructed in any way. Do
not block or obstruct air openings on furnace or spaces
around furnace.
5
• In a non-direct vent (1-pipe) application, your furnace uses
air from adjacent to the furnace for combustion and vents flue
gas to the outdoors. This type of application will have only
1 pipe running from the furnace to the outdoors. (See Fig. 6)
The other pipe will terminate in the same space as the furnace
and is the source of combustion air for your furnace. There-
fore, the furnace must not be enclosed in an airtight room or
be sealed behind solid doors. It must have adequate airflow
for efficient combustion and safe ventilation. Do not obstruct
the combustion-air pipe in any way. The vent pipe must ter-
minate outside the structure and must not be obstructed in any
way. Do not block or obstruct air openings or space around
furnace.
6
• Keep the area around your furnace clear and free of com-
bustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids and
vapors.
7
• Do not cover the furnace, store trash or debris near it, or
in any way block the flow of fresh air to the unit.
In addition to the safety rules above, make sure that the fol-
lowing combustion-air requirements are met for non-direct
vent applications.
• Combustion air must be clean and uncontaminated with
chlorine or fluorine. These compounds are present in many
products around the home, such as water softener salts, laun-
dry bleaches, detergents, adhesives, paints, varnishes, paint
strippers, and plastics.
•
Make sure the combustion air for your furnace does not con-
tain any of these compounds. During remodeling be sure the
combustion air is fresh and uncontaminated. If these compounds
are burned in your furnace, the heat exchangers may deteriorate.
• A furnace installed in an attic or other insulated space must
be kept free and clear of insulating material. Examine the fur-
nace area when the furnace is installed or when insulation is
added. Some materials may be combustible.
• Should the gas supply fail to shut off or if overheating
occurs, shut off the gas valve to the furnace before shutting
off electrical supply.
This furnace contains SAFETY DEVICES which must be
MANUALLY RESET. If the furnace is left unattended for
an extended period of time, have it checked periodically for
proper operation. This precaution will prevent problems
associated with no heat, such as frozen water pipes, etc. See
“Before You Request a Service Call’’ section in this manual.
!

5
Examine the furnace installation monthly to determine that:
1. All flue gas carrying areas external to the furnace
(i.e. chimney, vent connector) are clear and free of
obstructions.
2. The vent connector is in place, slopes upward and is phys-
ically sound without holes or excessive corrosion.
3. The return-air duct connection(s) is physically sound, is
sealed to the furnace casing, and terminates outside the
space containing the furnace.
4. The physical support of the furnace is sound without sag-
ging cracks, gaps, etc. around the base.
5. There are no obvious signs of deterioration of the furnace.
6. The burner flames are in good adjustment. (See Fig. 8.)
8
STARTING AND SHUTTING DOWN
YOUR FURNACE
Instead of a continuously burning pilot flame which wastes
valuable energy, your furnace uses an automatic, hot surface
ignition system to light the burners each time the thermostat
starts your furnace.
Follow these important safeguards:
• Never attempt to manually light the burners with a match
or other source of flame.
• Read and follow the operating instructions on inside of
main furnace door, especially the item that reads as follows:
Wait 5 minutes to clear out any gas. Then smell for gas,
including near the floor. If you smell gas,
STOP! Follow “B’’
in the safety information above on this furnace label. If you
don’t smell gas, go to the next step.
• If a suspected malfunction occurs with your gas control
system, such as the burners do not light when they should,
refer to the shutdown procedures on inside of main furnace
door, or in the “Shutting Down Your Furnace” section and
call your dealer as soon as possible.
•
CHECK AIR FILTER: Before attempting to start your
furnace, be sure the furnace filter is clean and in place. See
“Performing Routine Maintenance” section in this manual.
Then proceed as follows:
STEPS FOR STARTING YOUR FURNACE
1. Set your room thermostat to the lowest temperature set-
ting. (See Fig. 10.)
2. Close the external manual gas valve. (See Fig. 11.)

After the hot surface igniter is heated for 17 seconds, the
gas valve permits gas to flow to the main burners. After
ignition and a time delay of about 60 sec, the furnace
blower will start. Variable-capacity furnaces start at low
speed until the control makes the necessary adjustments
to operate the blower at either the low- or high-heat speed.
NOTE: If the burners fail to ignite after 4 attempts, the fur-
nace control system will lock out. If lockout occurs, main
burners fail to light, or blower does not come on, shut down
the furnace and call your dealer for service.
12. Set your thermostat to the temperature that satisfies
your comfort requirements.
SUGGESTION: Setting the thermostat back a few
degrees—and compensating for the difference with
warmer clothing—can make a big difference in your fuel
consumption. The few degrees at the top of your thermo-
stat “comfort level’’are the most costly degrees to obtain.
When the room temperature drops below the temperature
selected on the thermostat, the furnace will switch on auto-
matically. When the room temperature reaches the tempera-
ture selected on the thermostat, the furnace will be switched
off automatically.
Some thermostats have a FAN mode with 2 selections:AUTO
and ON. When set on AUTO, the furnace blower cycles on
and off. In the ON mode, the furnace blower runs continu-
ously. Continuous fan keeps the temperature level in your
home more evenly balanced. It also permits the indoor air to
be continuously filtered. ComfortFan™ –On all but the
58MCB, the blower speed can be increased or decreased if
desired due to change of seasons, large gatherings in your
home, etc. Simply change your FAN from ON to OFF for 1
to 3 seconds (or AUTO depending on your thermostat), and
then return to ON. The blower will switch to the next higher
speed. There are at least 3 speeds to choose from. If the
blower is running on its highest speed, a request to change
will direct the blower to return to its lowest speed.
SHUTTING DOWN YOUR FURNACE
Should you ever need to shut down your furnace for service
or maintenance, you will need to turn the furnace off. The
following procedures must be followed:
1. Set your room thermostat to the lowest temperature
setting. (See Fig. 21.)
21
2. Close the external manual gas valve (See Fig. 11.)
3. Turn off electrical supply to the furnace. (See Fig. 22.)
4. Remove main furnace door. (See Fig. 13.)
5. Turn the switch on the gas control to the OFF position.
(See Fig. 23 or 24.)

Only trained and qualified personnel should install, repair, or ser-
vice heating equipment. Untrained personnel can perform basic
maintenance functions such as cleaning and replacing air filters.
All other operations must be performed by trained and qual-
ified service agency personnel. Observe safety precautions in
this manual, on tags, and on labels attached to the furnace,
and other safety precautions that may apply.
With proper maintenance and care, your furnace will operate
economically and dependably. Instructions for basic mainte-
nance are found on this and the following pages. However,
before beginning maintenance, follow these safety precautions:
FILTERING OUT TROUBLE
A dirty air filter will cause a loss of airflow in your duct
system. When excessive loss of airflow occurs, the furnace
may cycle on its safety controls. If this condition is left unat-
tended, the furnace will eventually lock out. It is recom-
mended that the furnace air filter be checked every 3 or 4
weeks and cleaned if necessary.
If installed with factory-specified disposable media filter,
check or replace filter before each heating and cooling sea-
son. Replace disposable media filter at least once a year.
The air filter is normally located in the blower compartment
(See Fig. 3 or 4.) or in the factory-supplied filter cabinet
attached to the side or bottom of the furnace casing. If air
filter has been installed in another location, contact your deal-
er for instructions. To inspect, clean, and/or replace the air
filter(s), follow these steps:
1. Turn off electrical supply to furnace. (See Fig. 22.)
2. Remove door/access panel

Check the combustion-air intake and vent pipe on the outside
of your home for blockage.
When dirt, soot, scale, or rust is allowed to build up, your furnace
can suffer a loss of efficiency and perform improperly.Accumu-
lations on the main burners can result in firing out of normal
sequence. This delayed ignition creates an alarmingly loud sound.
To inspect the combustion area and vent system, you will
need a flashlight. Refer to Fig. 3 or 4, and proceed as follows:
1. Turn off the gas and electrical supplies to the furnace and
remove the main furnace door. (See Fig. 11, 12, and 13.)
2. Remove burner enclosure front. (See Fig. 39 or 40.)
Inspect the gas burners, igniter area, and remainder of furnace
for dirt, rust, soot, or scale.
3.
Inspect the combustion-air and vent PVC pipes for sags, holes,
cracks, water leaks, blockage or disconnections. Horizontal
portions of pipes must slope downward toward furnace.
39 40
4. Reinstall burner enclosure front.
5. If your furnace is free of the above conditions, replace
main furnace door and turn on electrical and gas supplies
to the furnace. (See Fig. 18, 19, and 20.)
6. Start the furnace and observe its operation. Watch the
burner flames to see if they are clear blue, almost transpar-
ent. (See Fig. 41.) If you observe a suspected malfunction,
or the burner flames are not clear blue, call your dealer.
41
HEADING SOUTH FOR THE WINTER?
DON’T FORGET YOUR FURNACE!
Since the furnace uses a condensing heat exchanger, some water
will accumulate in the unit as a result of the heat transfer process.
Therefore, once it has been operated, it cannot be turned off and
left off for an extended period of time when temperatures will
reach 32°F or lower unless winterized. Follow these procedures
to winterize your furnace:
1. Obtain propylene glycol (RV/swimming pool antifreeze
or equivalent).
2. Turn off electrical supply to the furnace. (See Fig. 22.)
3. Remove main furnace door. (See Fig. 25.)
4. Remove upper inducer housing drain connection cap.
(See Fig. 42.)

A CHECK-UP CHECKLIST
Your furnace represents an important investment in your fami-
ly’s comfort and your home’s value. To keep it performing
properly and to prevent future problems, have a trained service
specialist give your furnace a professional check-up annually.
The following checklist can be used as a guideline to proper
service:
• Inspect all flue gas passages, burners, heat exchangers, cou-
pling box(es), and inducer assembly.
• Inspect all combustion-air and vent piping inside structure
and vent pipe termination outside the structure.
• Check gas pipes leading to and inside of your furnace for leaks.
• Inspect and clean the blower motor and wheel.
NOTE: The inducer and blower motors are pre-lubricated and
require no additional lubrication. These motors can be identified
by the absence of oil ports on each end of the motor.
• Inspect and change or clean air filters(s) if necessary.
• Inspect all supply- and return-air ducts for obstructions, air
leaks, and insulation. Remedy any problem when necessary.
• Inspect the return-air duct connections(s) at the furnace to en-
sure it is physically sound, sealed to the furnace casing, and ter-
minates outside the space containing the furnace.
• Inspect electrical wiring, connections, and components for
loose connections.
• Perform an operational checkout to determine whether your
furnace is working properly and if it requires adjustments.
• Inspect all condensate drain tubes and condensate trap assem-
bly for leaks. The condensate removal system should be cleaned
annually by a qualified service agency. Refer to the Service and
Maintenance Instructions for further information.
• Examine the physical support of the furnace. Support should
be sound with not cracks, sagging, gaps, etc. around the base.
• Check furnace for any obvious signs of deterioration.
BEFORE YOU REQUEST A SERVICE
CALL
If your furnace is not operating or not performing properly,
you may save the expense of a service call by checking a few
things yourself before calling for service.
FOR INSUFFICIENT AIRFLOW:
• Check for dirty air filter(s).
• Check for blocked return-air or supply-air grilles throughout
your home. Ensure they are open and unobstructed.
If problem still exists, call your dealer for service.
IF FURNACE FAILS TO OPERATE:
Follow this checklist step by step, advancing to the next step
only if furnace fails to start.
• Check thermostat for proper temperature. Is thermostat set
above room temperature?
• Is thermostat set on HEAT?
• Check fuses and circuit breakers. Is electrical supply on?
• Is manual shutoff valve in gas supply pipe in open position?
(Follow start-up procedures if you open gas valve.)
NOTE: Turn off electrical supply before continuing with
checklist.
• Is control switch on gas valve in ON position? (Follow start-
up procedures if you must reset switch to ON position.)
• Check manual reset flame rollout switch located on the burner
box. (See Fig. 3 or 4.) If furnace has experienced high temper-
ature conditions, this switch will shut off the furnace. Reset it
by pushing the button on the switch. If it trips again, shut down
the furnace and call for service. See “Shutting DownYour Fur-
nace” section in this manual.
• Check for obstructions around the vent termination outside
the structure.
If the furnace still fails to operate, call your service representa-
tive.
For your convenience, record the furnace product and serial
numbers on back page. Should you ever require service, you
will have ready access to the information needed by your ser-
vice representative.
