1. Use only with type of gas approved for this furnace. Refer to furnace rating plate.
2. Do not install this furnace where it could be exposed to drafts or other wind or
moisture conditions. Refer to Section IV of this manual.
3. Provide adequate ventilation air to the furnace space. Refer to Section IV, C and D,
of this manual.
4. Connect this furnace to an approved vent system only. Combustion products must
be carried outdoors. Refer to Section IV, F thru J, of this manual.
5. Never test for gas leaks with an open flame. Leak test methods must comply with
State, Local and National codes including the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI-
Z233.1 (Latest Edition).
6. Always install furnace with a duct system that has an external static pressure within
the allowable range referenced in specifications.

Section IV.
The following pages contain various warnings and cautions found throughout the
Thermo Pride Gas Fired High Efficiency Furnace Manual. Please read and comply
with the statements below.
: This furnace is not to be used for temporary heating of buildings or
structures under construction.
: These high efficiency condensing furnaces are not certified for and
shall not be vented into a standard or any type of chimney.
: Negative pressure inside the closet with closet door closed and the
furnace blower operating on high speed shall be no more negative than minus
0.05 inch water column.
: Do not obstruct any return air openings, including the return grille on
the furnace. To do so may cause the furnace to activate the high limit and shut
down.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
: The vent and air intake elbows must be kept away from bushes,
shrubs or any vegetation that may restrict the flow of flue products. It must also
be kept clear of any leaves, weeds or other combustible materials. Keep the vent
hood clear of snow. Avoid locating the terminals in areas where standing water or
condensate drippage may be a problem.
: This CMA/CMC furnace has been designed to be installed as a direct
vent system and must have its combustion air brought in from outside the
conditioned space. The failure to install the vent/air intake system as specified in
these instructions will void the heat exchanger warranty and may result in
property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
: Outside combustion air must not come from an area that is directly
adjacent to a pool, hot tub or spa. Measures should be taken to prevent the entry
of corrosive chemicals or vapors to the combustion and ventilation air supply.
Such chemicals include but are not limited to chlorinated and/or fluorinated
hydrocarbons such as found in refrigerants, aerosol propellants, dry cleaning
fluids, degreasers and removers. Other harmful compounds may come from
bleaches, air fresheners or mastics. Vapors from such products can form acid
compounds when burned in a gas flame. Should acid compounds form in your
furnace, it may reduce the life of the furnace.
: Because of the potential of odorant fade, a gas leak may not be
detected by smell. If this furnace is installed below grade, contact your gas
supplier for a gas detector.
: All gas piping must be leak tested methods approved by State, Local
and National Codes including the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI-Z233.1
(Latest Edition). A final test for gas leakage must be made after purging the gas
line. This test must be conducted with the unit operating and should include the
furnace piping and gas valve. Never use an open flame to check for a gas leak.
: Care must be taken not to wet electronic components during leak test.
Wetting the primary ignition module may damage its circuitry and cause a
hazardous situation. Dry moisture from all leads and terminals if wetting occurs.
Wait at least 24 hours for the circuit to fully dry before energizing the burner
circuit.
: The furnace and its individual gas shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply during pressure testing of the gas supply system at
pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG or 14.0" w.c. The furnace must be isolated from
the gas supply by closing its manual shut off valve at test pressures equal to or
greater than 1/2 PSIG or 14.0" w.c.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
: Copper and brass tubing and fittings (except tin lined) shall not be
used if the gas contains more than a trace (0.3 grains per 100 cubic ft.) of
hydrogen sulfide gas. Check with your gas supplier.
: TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER to the furnace before attempting
to change blower speed wiring.
: Turn off power to furnace before it is placed into service. The gas
piping system must have been leak tested by a qualified heating contractor in
accordance with State, Local and National Codes including the National Fuel Gas
Code NFPA 54/ANSI-Z233.1 (Latest Edition).
: It may be necessary to purge the air out of the gas line for initial start-
up of the furnace after installation. This should be done by a qualified heating
contractor. If excessive gas escapes when purging the gas supply at the union,
allow the area to ventilate for at least 15 minutes before attempting to start the
furnace. LP gas is especially dangerous because the specific gravity of LP gas
allows it to accumulate at floor level at a dangerous concentration.
: Heat exchanger oil will burn off on initial firing creating an unpleasant
odor. To prevent this odor from occurring more than once, it is suggested that:
1. A window(s) be opened.
2. The thermostat set at highest setting.
3. The furnace remain running at conditions 1&2 above for 15 minutes or until
odor has dissipated.
: The CMA/CMC furnace models are of direct vent design and do not
require an air shutter adjustment (air shutters are not used) for proper flame
characteristics. Burner box access cover must always be secured with all screws
in place and tightened before operating furnace.
: Personal injury or property damage could result from repair or service
of this furnace by anyone other than a qualified heating contractor.
: Label wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring
errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
: The inducer motor mounting plate gasket and the collector box gasket
must be replaced if they show any sign of having been damaged.
: Power must be disconnected before servicing.

IV. GENERAL INSTALLATION
A. FURNACE LOCATION
1. For best performance, locate the furnace so that it is centralized with respect
to the duct system.
2. 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.
An improper return air installation may create a hazard and damage equipment,
as well as void all warranties.
3. Model CMA3 furnace may be installed on a combustible floor when utilizing
either the No. 70 counterflow floor base or CE113S / CE213T coil cabinet for
below the floor duct systems, or the cottage base for floor level air distribution.
See Figure 1A for description of Combustible Floor Base and Figure 1C for
Cottage Base.
4. Model CMC1 furnace is designed to be installed directly on a combustible
floor and is not required to be installed on a base.
This furnace is ETL listed for closet, alcove or free standing applications. All
applications must comply with the requirements of this manual.
Combustible Floor Base Model: 70-BASE

B. BASE INSTALLATION – CMA3 models only
1. Combustible Floor Base Model: 70 BASE (for CMA3 models only)
Use the base bottom panel as a template to mark floor opening locations (see
Figure 2). Cut a square opening in the floor for the supply air connector duct. Cut
the opening 1-inch larger than the square template opening. (duct requires 1-inch
clearance to combustible floor).
Figure 2.

connector duct. Remove the bottom panel. Cut an opening in the distribution duct
slightly larger than the connector duct. (refer to Figure 2 for location of this cut.)
Cut the connector duct to length. Install the connector duct. Bend over each tab.
Insure an airtight seal by using high temperature sealant or tape on the joint.
Reinstall the bottom panel over the connector duct. Put the base top assembly in
place (see Figure-3).
Slit the corners of connector duct down to the top of the base assembly. If metal
projects more than 1-inch above the top of the base assembly, trim the flanges
down to 1-inch. While the top of distribution duct is being pulled up with one
hand, bend down each side of the connector duct tightly to the base assembly
with the other hand. This assures a tight connection between the base assembly
and the connector duct and that the distribution duct will be full size. Use high
temperature tape and/or high temperature silicone caulking on all joints and
seams to minimize air leakage. Secure the base assembly to the floor with two
screws in the front flange.
2. Cottage Base Model: 01COT BASE (for CMA3 models only)
The 01COT BASE cottage base (Figure 1C) is required for a freestanding
cottage base installation. The cottage base allows the two sides and rear to have
an 8” x 12” register installed. IMPORTANT: All joints and seams of supply
ducts must be sealed with a sealing method suitable to the application
conditions and temperatures (I.E. High temperature silicone and/or
aluminum tape). Refer to assembly and installation instructions included with
cottage base for additional information.
The model CMC does not require a base for installation. The integrated coil
cabinet serves as a base. The duct connection will be made to the bottom of the
furnace. A sheet metal cover plate may be installed to protect any exposed
combustible flooring.

6. A hack saw may be used to cut the PVC pipe. It must be cut smoothly at
right angles with all burrs removed. All joints must use standard PVC
Schedule 40 elbows and couplings. Joints are not to be made by gluing,
except where noted, and butting together the cut or raw edges of the vent
pipe. (The joints inside the vestibule should be sealed with a silicone caulk to
allow for maintenance.) Notice: Do not use silicone caulk to seal the PVC
sleeve or coupling to the metal air intake collar on the burner box. The
screw securing the sleeve or coupling to the collar is sufficient.
7. Use the two radiator hose clamps to connect both the exhaust vent and
combustion air vent pipes to the venting system (included in the parts
package.) This will aid in the serviceability of the vent should it need to be
removed in the future. (Refer to figure 6).
8. Vent connections shall be checked for leakage with the furnace induced
draft blower running and with the vent termination blocked. A mild soap and
water solution may be used to check for leaks.
9. Vent pipe passing through an unheated space must be insulated with 1.0”
thick foil faced fiberglass insulation or its equivalent to prevent freezing of any
condensate within the pipe.

compartment. Refer to Figure 6A.
Figure 6A.
NOTICE: The exhaust vent pipe must be supported every 4 feet. After making
sure the length of the piping is correct glue all connections in place.
: This CMA/CMC furnace has been designed to be installed as a
direct vent system and must have its combustion air brought in from
outside the conditioned space. The failure to install the vent/air intake
system as specified in these instructions will void the heat exchanger
warranty and may result in property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
NOTICE: The furnace model series CMA/CMC may be vented either
through the sidewall or the roof. For sidewall instructions, continue to the
following section. For roof venting, refer to Section IV J, of this manual.
NOTICE: The air intake pipe must be supported every 4 feet. After making sure
the length of the piping is correct, glue all connections in place except the
connection to the burner box.
If the combustion air piping is installed in a warm humid place, such as a laundry
room or above a suspended ceiling, it must be insulated with a 1.0” foil faced
insulation or its equivalent.
If the vent piping is run through an unconditioned space, it must be insulated with
a 1.0” foil faced insulation or its equivalent.
: Outside combustion air must not come from an area that is
directly adjacent to a pool, hot tub or spa. Measures should be taken to
prevent the entry of corrosive chemicals or vapors to the combustion and
ventilation air supply. Such chemicals include but are not limited to
chlorinated and/or fluorinated hydrocarbons such as found in refrigerants,
aerosol propellants, dry cleaning fluids, degreasers and removers. Other
harmful compounds may come from bleaches, air fresheners or mastics.
Vapors from such products can form acid compounds when burned in a

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
b. The bottom edge of the vent termination elbow must be installed at
least 12-inches above the outlet of intake termination elbow.
c. The horizontal distance between the inlet and exhaust terminations
should be minimized, when possible, and should never exceed 24-
inches.
d. The vent and intake systems should utilize the same numbers of
elbows and approximately the same length of straight pipe to reach the
outside termination.
Figure 8: Typical Relative Locations of Direct Vent Terminations When
Sidewall Venting
3. Exhaust Vent Terminal Location Clearance Requirements
a. The vent terminal shall be located at least 3-feet above any forced air
inlet located within 10-feet. Refer to Figure 9 for a depiction of the
minimum required clearances between vent terminations and building
features according to the National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC).
b. The vent terminal shall be at least 12-inches below, 12-inches
horizontally from, or 12-inches above, any door, window, or gravity air
inlet into a building. The bottom of the vent terminal shall be located at
least 12-inches above grade.
c. The vent terminal shall not be located:
• over public walkways or over an area where wetting of surfaces by
condensate, or water vapor, could create a nuisance or hazard,

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
4. Vent Terminal Location Guidelines
: Bushes, shrubs, or any vegetation that may restrict the flow of
flue products must be kept away from vent and air intake terminations.
Terminations must also be kept clear of any leaves, weeds, combustible
materials, snow, and ice build-up. Avoid locating the vent terminal over
areas where dripping of condensate, or small pools of acidic condensate,
could create a problem.
In addition to following any local code requirements, when possible, utilize the
guidelines below in locating the vent terminal to help insure trouble-free operation
of a sidewall vented furnace:
• Avoid locating the vent terminal on a wall facing prevailing winds and wide-
open areas. When impractical, choose a location that protects the vent from
strong winds, such as behind a fence or hedge.
• In geographical areas with considerable snowfall, it is advisable to locate the
vent terminal much higher than the minimum 12-inches above ground to
prevent blockage by snow accumulation or drifting.
• The vent and combustion air terminations shall be checked periodically, at
least at the start of each heating season, for restriction or blockage from
foreign material in the exhaust vent or in the air intake piping. Clean the air
intake and vent terminations when necessary.
I. Installation Of Outside Exhaust / Intake Terminations
1. After determining appropriate installation locations (suitable locations must
observe all clearances specified in this manual), mark and cut two (2), 2-3/8 inch
diameter holes in the outside wall for the outdoor terminal(s)
2. Measure and cut two (2), 2-inch diameter thermoplastic pipes 1-1/2 inches
longer than the depth of the wall. (Cutting the pipe longer leaves a ¾ inch
connection allowance at both ends of the pipe.) Using PVC pipe cement, glue a
PVC elbow or coupling fitting to one (1) end of each pipe.
Before inserting the pipe through the wall, mark the other end of the pipe so the
elbow orientation can be determined. Also, if a protective shield (refer to Section
H., passage 1. of this manual) will be used on the exterior surface of the wall, it
should be installed at this time. From the inside, glue a coupling fitting to each
pipe, using PVC pipe cement, while being careful to maintain the proper
orientation of the termination elbow(s). Complete the assembly of the outlet and
inlet as shown in Figure 10, making sure that the spacing between the inlet and
outlet complies with that noted in Figure 8.

: TURN OFF THE ELECTRICAL POWER to the furnace
before attempting to change blower speed wiring.
The furnace is factory wired to the ignition control with standard heating
and cooling speeds. When changing motor speeds, simply switch the
needed speed to either the heating or cooling terminal as applicable on
the module to obtain the desired CFM. The unused speeds should then be
reconnected to the module in the “park” positions. (Refer to figure 15)
Refer to section II for blower speed and air flow performance for A/C
installation.
5. FIELD WIRING AND REPLACING WIRING
Field wiring between the furnace and devices not attached to the furnace shall
conform with the temperature limitation for Type T 35 C wire. If any of the original
factory supplied furnace wiring is replaced or a separate device other than the
thermostat is wired internal to the unit 105°C thermoplastic or equivalent wire
must be used.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
B. INITIAL START UP:
This furnace does not have a pilot. It is equipped with a hot surface igniter which
automatically lights the burner. Do not attempt to light the burner by hand. Check
the following items before the initial start-up.
1. Check all wiring for loose connections and proper hook up.
2. Leak test gas piping connections.
3. Check all tubing to the pressure switch and drains to make sure they are
connected firmly at all their connection points.
4. Check flue pipe, combustion air inlet and all pvc connections for tightness and
to make sure there is no blockage.
5. Make sure air filter is in place.
6. Make sure the outside vent and air intakes are installed according to
instructions and that they are free from blockage.
7. Make sure that the drain trap is properly connected to the furnace and to the
drain system.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
: Turn off power to furnace before it is placed into service. The
gas piping system must have been leak tested by a qualified heating
contractor in accordance with State, Local and National Codes including
the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI-Z233.1 (Latest Edition).
: It may be necessary to purge the air out of the gas line for initial
start-up of the furnace after installation. This should be done by a qualified
heating contractor. If excessive gas escapes when purging the gas supply
at the union, allow the area to ventilate for at least 15 minutes before
attempting to start the furnace. LP gas is especially dangerous because the
specific gravity of LP gas allows it to accumulate at floor level at a
dangerous concentration.
: Heat exchanger oil will burn off on initial firing creating an
unpleasant odor. To prevent this odor from occurring more than once, it is
suggested that:
1. A window(s) be opened.
2. The thermostat set at highest setting.
3. The furnace remain running as noted above for 15 minutes or until odor
has dissipated.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
C. ADJUSTMENT OF BTU INPUT RATE:
The orifice for this furnace was sized: 1) for natural gas having a heating value of
1025 BTU per cubic foot and a specific gravity of .65, or 2) for liquefied propane
gas with a heating value of 2500 BTU per cubic foot and a specific gravity of
1.55. The information plate inside the furnace vestibule will specify which gas
your furnace is orificed for. If the furnace is installed at an altitude that is more
than 2,000 feet above sea level, it is mandatory that the input to the burner be
reduced 4.0% for every 1,000 feet that it is above sea level. If the furnace is
installed at an elevation of 5,000 feet, its input must be reduced 20.0%. Example:
a furnace rated at 75,000 BTU at sea level must be reduced to a firing rate of
60,000 (75,000 x .80 = 60,000) at an elevation of 5,000 feet. If the furnace is
installed at an elevation of 2,000 feet or less, no reduction in input is required.
Your gas supplier or Thermo Products will supply you with the correct orifice
sizing information.
To check the input of your natural gas furnace, allow the unit to operate for 10 to
15 minutes and proceed as follows:
1. Call your gas supplier and ask for the BTU content (heating value) of one
cubic foot of the gas, supplied to the installation area. An alternate
approach is to assume a value of 1025 BTU/Cu Ft which is the national
average.
2. With all other gas appliances turned off and using a stopwatch, clock the
time required for the (small) dial on the gas meter to make one full
revolution. The meter dial will state the cubic feet of flow for one
revolution usually one, two or five.
FORMULA: BTU/Cu Ft x Number of Cu Ft x 3600 Seconds = Input BTU/hr
Seconds for one revolution
EXAMPLE: 1025 BTU/Cu Ft x 2 Cu Ft x 3600 = 73,505 BTU Input
100.40 Seconds
Check the model number of the furnace, the input rate, the type of gas,
and the manifold pressure on the rating label located in the burner
vestibule. If using the above example, the furnace is a CMA2-75N model
and the input rate is 73,505 BTU/hr. The input rate would be acceptable
because it was within + 2% of the listed input of 75,000.
3. Make sure that the gas supply pressure to the furnace is within the
allowable range of 5.5" to 14" WC pressure on natural gas and 11.0" to
14.0" WC on propane gas. The pressure to the furnace must be checked
while the furnace burner and any other gas appliances on the same
supply system are operating, using the 1/8 in. NPT manifold pressure tap.

TABLE 3
This gas furnace is equipped with a fixed orifice sized for the manifold
pressure shown on the rating label. The input can only be increased, or
decreased, by adjusting the manifold pressure. Remove the 1/8" threaded
pipe plug located on the gas manifold.
Use a U tube manometer or recently calibrated pressure gage to measure
the pressure. To adjust the pressure, remove the screw cap from the
regulator on the gas valve and using the adjustment screw. Decrease the
pressure by turning the screw counterclockwise or increase it by turning
the screw clockwise.
: ADJUSTMENTS TO THE LISTED PRESSURE MUST NOT
EXCEED 0.3" WC. A 0.3" WC adjustment will increase or decrease the
input approximately 4.0%.
Replace screw (cap) when adjustment is complete.
The correct input can be assumed if the furnace manifold pressure is the
same as that shown on the rating label if a gas meter is not available for
natural gas or the unit is installed on an unmetered propane gas supply.
Shut off the gas supply to the furnace. Remove the pressure gage and re-
install the pipe plug using a thread compound resistant to the action of LP
gases.
If the rated input cannot be obtained with the present orifice at the correct
pressure, your local gas supplier may assist in sizing the proper orifice.
Thermo Products Engineering Department will gladly assist in sizing the

D. BURNER ADJUSTMENT
This unit is designed to not require any burner adjustment. The flames should be
checked by looking through the sight glass located on the burner box. Burner
flames should be clear, blue and almost transparent in color. (see Figure 16).
NOTE: It is not unusual to have orangish flames visible in the tube for LP gas.

All installations and services must be performed by qualified service personnel.
Figure 16.
: The CMA/CMC furnace models are direct vent design and do
not require an air shutter adjustment (air shutters are not used) for proper
flame characteristics. Burner box access cover must always be secured
with all screws in place and tightened before operating furnace.
E. SETTING TEMPERATURE RISE
All CMA/CMC Models are designed and wired at the factory for a heating blower
speed that should result in an approximate temperature rise of 60°F. The blower
motors are wired on med-low speed for heating mode. The temperature rise
through the furnace may vary depending on the duct system, elevation, heating
value, etc. for each installation. A lower temperature rise will result in a higher
efficiency. Temperature rise = supply air temperature - return air temperature.
After 10 to 15 minutes of continuous operation, the temperature rise through the
furnace must fall within a range of 40°F to 70°F. If the outlet or supply duct
temperature is too high, you should check to make sure that your return air filter
is clean, your return air openings are free from obstruction, your outlet registers
are properly adjusted and clear and your supply and return air ducts are open.
The circulating air blower is not moving enough air if the supply air temperature is
still too high. Before proceeding further, turn off the power supply to the furnace
and remove the front door of the unit.
The speed of the blower must be increased by changing the speed tap from the
motor (see figure 15). This is accomplished by locating the control panel attached
to the blower housing and switching blower lead connected to the “Heat” terminal
on the White-Rodgers 50A65-143 control, with one of the higher speed blower
leads attached to a terminal marked “Park”. Be sure to attach any unused blower
leads to a terminal marked “Park”. Replace the blower door and turn on the
power supply.
