High Altitude Derate
Whenthis furnace is installedat high altitude, theappropri-
ate High Altitude orifice kit must be installed. This is re-
quiredduetothenatural reduction in the density of boththe
gas fuel and combustion air as altitude increases. The kit
will provide the proper design certified input rate within the
specifiedaltituderange.

GeneralOperation
TheGKS9furnacesareequipped with an electronic ignition
deviceusedto light the burners and an induced draft blower
to exhaust combustion products.
Aninterlockswitchprevents furnace operation if theblower
door is not in place. Keep the blower access door in place
exceptforinspection and maintenance.
This furnace is also equipped with a self-diagnosing elec-
tronic control module. In the event a furnace component is
notoperating properly, the control moduleLED will flashon
and off in a factory-programmed sequence, depending on
theproblemencountered. This light canbeviewed through
theobservationwindowin the blower access door.Referto
theTroubleshootingChartforfurther explanation of theLED
codesandAbnormal Operation - Integrated Ignition Control
section in the Service Instructions for an explanation of the
possibleproblem.
Theratedheatingcapacityof the furnace should be greater
thanor equal to thetotal heat lossof the area tobe heated.
The total heat loss should be calculated by an approved
methodorinaccordance with “ASHRAE Guide” or “Manual
J-LoadCalculations” published by theAirConditioningCon-
tractors of America.

LocationConsiderations
• The furnace should be as centralized as is practical
with respect to the air distribution system.
• Donotinstallthefurnacedirectly on carpeting, tile, or
combustiblematerialotherthanwood flooring.
• When suspending the furnace from rafters or joists,
use 3/8" threaded rod and 2” x 2” x 3/8” angle as
shownin theInstallationand ServiceInstructions.The
length of the rod will depend on the application and
clearancenecessary.
• When installed in a residential garage, the furnace
mustbe positioned so the burnersandignitionsource
are located not less than 18 inches (457 mm) above
the floor and protected from physical damage by ve-
hicles.
Notes:
