Step 5—Filter Arrangement
Do not install furnace on its back. Safety control operation
will be adversely affected. Never connect return-air ducts to
back of furnace. Failure to follow this warning could result in
fire, personal injury, or death.
The air filter arrangement will vary due to application and filter
type. The filter may be installed in an external Filter/Media cabinet
(if provided) or the furnace blower compartment. Factory supplied
washable filters are shipped in the blower compartment.
If a factory-supplied external Filter/Media cabinet is provided,
instructions for its application, assembly, and installation are
packaged with the cabinet. The Filter/Media cabinet can be used
with the factory-supplied washable filter or a factory-specified
high-efficiency disposable filter (see cabinet instructions).
If installing the filter in the furnace blower compartment, deter-
mine location for the filter and relocate filter retaining wire if
necessary. See Fig. 5 for side return application and Fig. 6 for
bottom return application. See Table 3 to determine correct filter
size for desired filter location. Table 3 indicates filter size,
location, and quantity shipped with the furnace.
