General Description  
M1 Series gas and oil furnaces are listed direct  
vent (sealed combustion), downflow heating  
appliances for manufactured (mobile) homes,  
recreational vehicles, and for use in residential/  
modular/commercial construction. The furnace  
must be located so that venting can be properly  
achieved.  
NORDYNE also offers water heaters, fire-  
places and ventilating systems specifically de-  
signed for manufactured housing applications.  
Check with your manufactured home retailer,  
your heating and cooling contractor or your  
distributor for information. Write directly to the  
factory (PO Box 46911, St. Louis, MO 63146)  
if you are not able to locate a source for

extension p/n 901937.  
f. M1 furnaces may be used with roof jacks as  
tall as 170” (except M1M 056 & M1B 066  
models,whicharelimitedto120”).Aninternal  
roof jack extension (p/n 901935 - 10”, p/n  
903107 - 18”) can be used to increase roof  
jack height. All connections inside the home  
must be made below the ceiling.  
8.AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS  
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.  
These extensions are available as optional  
accessories and may be purchased through  
your NORDYNE distributor.  
Location, size, and number of registers should  
be selected on the basis of best air distribution  
and floor plan of the home.

NOTE: The duct connector is designed for use  
on ducts 12" in width. When using the connector  
on 12" wide ducts, there may be insufficient  
clearance to bend the tabs on two sides of the  
duct connector. In such cases the tabs may be  
attached to the sides of the duct by using sheet  
metal screws or other suitable fasteners. (See  
Figure 17).

4. At Area “B”, bend the duct tabs up and back  
over, around the duct connector, (See  
Step 3).  
5. Fold/form the duct flap against the side of the  
duct connector and attach as shown, (See  
Step 4). Use three (3) staples (minimum) on  
each duct flap OR, if a 2X block/joist is not  
provided, use two (2) sheet metal screws  
(minimum) on each duct flap. An alternate  
attachment method is acceptable, as long as  
the duct connector is securely attached.  
6. Tape the duct flap edges with an approved  
tape for a leak-free joint.  
Apply caulking compound on underside of roof  
flashing to form a continuous strip at least 3/8"  
wide (see Figure 21) around the underside of  
the perimeter of the flashing. Connect Roof  
Jack Assembly to the furnace. Insert telescop-  
ing Roof Jack Assembly through the opening  
cut on the roof. Connect flue pipe to flue collar  
of furnace. Connect combustion air pipe to  
furnace collar with sheet metal screw (See  
Figure 22). It is recommended that the connec-  
tion of the combustion air pipe to the furnace be  
made before the flashing is secured to the roof  
to maintain alignment of roof jack and furnace  
connections.  
NOTE: For replacement furnaces, be sure the  
inner flue pipe connects over the furnace vent  
collar. DO NOT use a smaller diameter inner  
flue pipe which could slide inside the fur-  
nace vent collar and restrict the flow of  
furnace flue products.

tional information.)  
If the heat anticipator is set too low, the furnace  
may cycle frequently and not provide comfort  
to the homeowner.  
Five-conductor thermostat wire is recom-  
mended for 24 volt low-voltage circuit (2-wire is  
required for furnace only; 5-wire for heating and  
optional cooling systems).  
14. FUEL PIPING  
Sizing and installation of fuel lines must be in  
accordance with federal, state and local regu-  
lations. All piping shall be black iron pipe, or  
equivalentlysizedsteeltubing. Internallytinned  
copper tubing may be used for gas supply  
systems.  
For Platinum-ready Construction:  
a. Use a heat/cool thermostat.  
b. Run thermostat wire from the Thermostat to  
the Furnace (see Figure 39).  
c. Using thermostat wire with at least two wires  
(four wire is recommended), run thermostat  
wire from the Furnace to the intended loca-  
tionofthePlatinum-seriesunit. Leaveatleast  
six feet of extra thermostat wire at the in-  
tended location for future hook-up. Coil re-  
maining six feet of wire and attach to the  
home’s undercarriage.  
Fuel line installations other than typical installa-  
tions shown in Figures 26 and 27 must comply  
with the fuel piping provisions stated in the  
Federal Manufactured Home Standard (H.U.D.  
TITLE24,PART280)andtheNationalFuelGas  
Code (ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA-54).  
a. Optionalfuelinletlinesareavailableforallgas  
furnace models to permit the addition of a 1/  
2" F.P.T. shut-off valve above the floor.  
Once the furnace is installed check the thermo-  
stat anticipator against the nominal setting of  
0.4:  
1. Connectthemilliampmeterinserieswithone  
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 read on the milliamp meter.  
NOTE: Shut-off valve must be designed and  
listed for use with liquid petroleum (L.P. gas).  
The gas supply to your home will either be  
Natural Gas or L.P. (bottle gas). Your furnace  
is factory equipped to operate on Natural Gas.  
If your gas supply is L.P. (bottle gas), you must  
contact a qualified serviceman or gas supplier  
to convert the furnace. The necessary instruc-  
tions for the gas conversion are found on the  
lighting instruction label attached to the furnace  
in Section 16, Service Guide.

Oil Tank and Piping Installation  
The following procedures are recommended  
as good practice. However, requirements of  
local codes and ordinances, H.U.D. Manufac-  
tured Home and Safety Standards or National  
Fire Protection Association must be satisfied,  
where they apply, for an approved installation.

How to Eliminate Air Leaks  
Fuel Line Hook-Up: One Line System  
The one line system is highly recommended  
where vertical lift, from bottom of tank to pump,  
is not more than eight feet. A single line hookup  
has the advantage of costing less and giving  
quieter operation.  
To eliminate problems caused by air in the oil  
line, all connections in the oil supply line and all  
plugs, nuts, and fittings on the pump must be  
airtight. This includes the nut that covers the  
pressure adjustment. It is important that the  
hook-up be done carefully and with a good  
flaring tool.  
Fuel Line Hook-Up: Two Line System  
Use a two line system only if the vertical lift  
exceeds 8 feet.  
1. Install the oil feed line as outlined in steps 1-  
6 below.  
To assure continuous operation, use a wire to  
jump terminals T-T (or F-F) on the primary  
control while burner is running. If furnace is  
equipped with the Honeywell R7184 primary  
control, priming oil pump procedure is as fol-  
lows:  
2. Install the oil pump bypass plug in the bottom  
return port.  
3. Run the return line up through the furnace  
base to the return port of the pump. Run the  
other end of the line to the tank, using 3/8”  
O.D. copper tubing or 1/4” pipe with the ends  
capped, and routing the line so it stays clean.  
4. Insert the return line through the second  
opening in the duplex bushing. If the bottom  
of the tank is lower than the pump intake, the  
tube should be inserted three or four inches  
from the tank bottom. If the bottom of the tank  
is higher than the pump intake, the return line  
should extend not more than 8” inside the  
tank.  
1. While the ignition is on, press, for 1/2 second  
or less, and release the reset button. The  
lockout time will be extended to 4 minutes.  
2. If prime is not established within the 4 min-  
utes, the control will lock out. Press the reset  
button to reset the control.  
3. Repeat steps “1” and “2”, if needed, until the  
pump is fully primed.  
When oil flow is clear and free of air bubbles,  
closeair-bleedvalveandtighten. (Timetobleed  
air out will vary depending on length of oil line,  
number of bends, etc.)  
If a two pipe system is used or if oil is taken from  
the bottom of the tank, a filter is recommended.  
Fuel Oil Type  
Do not use fuel oil heavier than Grade No. 2.  
Grade No. 1 may be used where the oil supply  
is subject to low temperatures.  
Hook-Up Procedure (See Figure 27)  
1. Usea3/8O.D. coppertubingforthefuelline.  
Cap the end with tape to keep out dirt while  
the line is being routed.  
2. Install duplex bushing for two 3/8” lines in the  
top fitting of the tank.  
DO NOT USE GASOLINE, CRANKCASE OIL,  
OR ANY OIL CONTAINING GASOLINE.  
3. Insert one end of the tubing through the  
duplex bushing until it is three to five inches  
from the bottom drain. Tighten the bushing.  
4. Run the line where it will not be subject to  
damage. Also, make bends gradually and  
avoid kinks which might restrict oil flow.  
5. Open the furnace door. Connect the oil line  
to the intake port on the pump. Tighten other  
port plugs on the pump.  
!
WARNING:  
Failure to keep supply of oil clean by  
various procedures described above  
may cause failure of certain compo-  
nents such as the fuel pump gears,  
check valve, shaft seal, or burner  
nozzle which may result in a burner  
fire.  
6. Be sure oil line is airtight! Air leaks can cause  
the pump to lose prime and will create other

push in by hand, don’t try to repair it. Call a  
qualified service technician. Force or at-  
tempted repair may result in a fire or explo-  
sion.  
15. FLUE GAS SAMPLING  
It may be necessary to take flue gas sampling  
from oil and gas gun furnaces (M1S and M1B  
Series Models) in order to check the perfor-  
mance 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. STOP! Read the SAFETY INFORMATION.  
2. Turn off all electric power to the appliance.  
3. Remove the black plastic cap located above  
the blower and save.

DANGER:  
Before placing the furnace in service  
it must be checked to make sure it is  
equipped for the type of gas being  
used. The burner flame must also be  
observed and adjusted if necessary.  
Failure to observe this caution may  
result in unsafe operation, explosion  
and/or fire, or asphyxiation. See the  
following sections “Gas Supply” and  
“CombustionAir.”  
d. When call for heat is satisfied, the thermostat  
contacts open and the gas valve shuts off  
gas flow.  
TO TURN OFF GAS/OIL APPLIANCE:  
a. Set the thermostat to the lowest setting.  
b. Turn off all electric power to the appliance  
before servicing unit.  
c. Set the On-Off Switch to “OFF.”  
d. Honeywell - turn gas control knob clockwise

THE FURNACE CONTROLS AND FUNC-  
TIONS  
1. 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. For M1G* models, in  
warm weather there is a possibility of the  
blower coming on periodically or operating  
continuously due to a heat buildup within the  
furnace by a combination of warm weather  
and heat from the pilot. This is normal  
operation as long as there is power to the  
furnace and the On-Off switch is at the “ON”  
position. If blower operation is not desired,  
the On-Off switch may be set in the “OFF”  
position to cut the electrical power to the  
furnace.  
In the event of any flashback or explosion,  
immediately shut off the furnace and call  
your service technician.  
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION FOR  
GAS GUN MODELS  
a. On a call for heat, the furnace control begins  
an ignition sequence which lasts approxi-  
mately 45 seconds.  
b. After this sequence, the control module tests  
to see if flame is sensed. If it has, the furnace  
continues to heat until the thermostat is  
satisfied.  
24  
 
2. 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 auto-  
matic reset types. If either limit trips, the  
burner will shut off. If either limit switch trips  
off again soon after resetting, set the furnace  
On-Off switch to the “OFF” position and call  
your authorized serviceman.  
tion. Therefore the following items should be  
checked and readjusted if necessary.  
Atmospheric Gas with Standing Pilot and Direct  
Ignition Furnaces, Including Gas Gun.  
a. Gas Pressure  
The gas pressure can be checked with a  
manometer at the pressure tap located on  
the side of the gas valve. The gas valve  
pressure regulator can be adjusted by re-  
moving the regulator selector stack and  
turning the slotted insert located directly  
under the selector stack. The regulator  
selector stack must be secured in place  
before each pressure reading is taken.  
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.  
3. 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 “step-open” type for M1G*-  
modelsandslow-openforM1M*-andM1B*-  
models which means it opens to a “low-fire”  
position, and after a few seconds, “steps-  
open” to “high-fire.”  
4. Roll Out Switch - (M1G* - 056 & 070) The  
furnace is protected by a manual reset safety  
switch located on the bottom left hand side of  
the combustion pipe.  
b. Pilot Flame (Standing Pilot Only)  
The pilot flame can be adjusted by turning the  
pilot adjustment screw, located on top of the  
gas valve (See Figure 29). The pilot flame  
height should be between 3/4” and 1.” The  
flame tip should be visible just above the pilot  
bracket when viewed through the observa-  
tion door. The same pilot orifice is used with  
both natural and L.P. gas.  
5. Oil Burner Primary Control - The primary  
control for oil gun furnaces starts the burner,  
monitors a safe operating cycle, and shuts  
the burner off at the end of a heating cycle.  
The control uses a light sensing transducer  
to determine if fuel ignition has been suc-  
cessfullyattained. Ifignitionisnotattainedby  
theendofthesafetyignitiontimingperiod,the  
control shuts the burner off and enters “lock-  
out.”  
COMBUSTION AIR  
In order for the flame to burn efficiently, it must  
receive adequate combustion air. The amount  
of combustion air required will vary depending  
on altitude, actual B.T.U. content of the fuel  
being used, gas pressure, conversion to an-  
other gas and other factors. The burner flame  
should be observed and any necessary adjust-  
ments made before the furnace is placed into  
service. See Table 9 for Factory Air settings.  
6. a. Summer Cooling - (H Series): Your fur-  
nace is equipped to operate the circulating  
fan only. Turn the Fan On-Auto switch to the  
“ON” position during warm weather. The  
blower will now operate to circulate air in your  
home through the duct system.  
Gas Gun  
Combustion air adjustment is made to the main  
burner by loosening the lock nut on the plastic  
air shutter, located on the side of the plastic  
burner air inlet box. Move the threaded rod to  
a smaller number (counterclockwise) for less

Tighten the lock nut after completing the adjust-  
ment. For best results, use instruments to  
measure between 8-9% CO2 after the combus-  
tion air has been adjusted.  
!
CAUTION:  
Combustion air 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,  
wrongsizenozzleororifice,highalti-  
tude, etc., the burner flame will be  
sooty and can produce carbon mon-  
oxide, which could result in unsafe  
operation, explosion and/or fire or  
asphyxiation.  
Oil Gun Only  
It is recommended that the CO2 and Smoke  
levels should be measured for maximum per-  
formance. CO2 readings should be 10-11% for  
66,000 BTUH furnaces and 12-13% for 86,000  
BTUH furnaces. The Smoke should be N0. 0 on  
the Bacharach Scale, and 0 to 0.02 negative  
draft over fire.  
Electrode Setting (Oil Gun Only)  
Poor ignition of the oil spray may result if the  
electrodes are not adjusted as shown in Figure

ADDITIONAL OIL  
FURNACE MAINTENANCE  
Inadditiontothepreceding,thefollowingshould  
be performed by a qualified service contractor  
at least once each season for oil-fired furnaces:  
a. Replace the oil nozzle with the type nozzle  
specified for your furnace.  
b. Clean, adjust and replace if necessary the  
spark electrodes.  
c. Reset the nozzle/drawer assembly to fac-  
tory specifications.  
d. Clean the inside of the furnace heat ex-  
changer and replace the combustion liner if  
necessary.  
18.MAINTENANCE  
By Homeowner  
1. Return Air - On some closet installations the  
return air opening to the furnace may be on  
the floor, on the door, on the side wall of the  
closet, or some combination of these. The  
upper grille on the front of the furnace admits  
return air to the blower. Return air must be  
provided back to the circulating blower in  
order to provide air distribution.  
e. Clean or replace the oil filter element at the oil  
tank.  
f. Adjust the burner for top efficiency and check  
to make sure all fittings are leak-tight.  
2. Filters - At least twice each season (more  
often in dusty areas) remove and clean the  
air filters with a vacuum or with warm water  
and soap. Reinstall when dry. Also clean  
dust and lint around furnace and in the fur-  
nace vestibule. (Figure 35.)  
19.OPTIONALACCESSORIES  
3. Seasonal Service Information - During ex-  
tremely cold weather, ice may form on the  
furnace roof jack. Small amounts of ice form-  
ing on the roof jack will present no problems  
to proper furnace operation. Excessive ice  
formation could restrict the combustion air  
supply to the burner, causing inefficient  
burneroperation. Ifexcessiveicehasformed  
on the air inlet or exhaust portions of the roof  
jack, it must be carefully removed (Figure  
36).  
Necessary when the Furnace is Used with  
Some Central Air Conditioners  
If an air conditioner is installed that does not use  
the furnace blower for air distribution and that  
operates independently of the furnace, the  
thermostat system must have an interlock to  
prevent the furnace and air conditioner from  
operating at the same time. This interlock sys-  
temusuallycontainseitheraHeat-Coolswitch  
which must be turned to the “Heat” or “Cool”  
position to activate either heating or cooling  
operation, or a positive “OFF” switch on the  
cooling thermostat.  
By Serviceman  
All furnaces need periodic service at the begin-  
ning of each heating season. Call your service-  
man to:
