19.1 aIR fIlTeR
The air filter should be inspected frequently and cleaned or replaced as necessary. We recommend a monthly
inspection at first, perhaps coinciding with the arrival of the monthly fuel bill as a reminder. The frequency may
be increased or decreased depending on experience and conditions.
Dirty filters result in higher than normal operating temperatures, and lower efficiency.
Some paper media high efficiency filters, sometimes identified as hEpA filters can do an effective and
excellent filtration of the air; however, some models may also cause a large pressure drop across the filter. The
contractor should assess the capabilities of the duct system to deliver sufficient air flow if this type of filter is
considered.
RECOMMENDED:
Electronic air cleaners using electrostatic precipitation to remove dust are an excellent filtration
device when used in conjunction with a pre-filter. A 16” x 25” model is an ideal fit with this furnace in the case of a
side mounted return air inlet. The integrated furnace control
is supplied with an electrical terminal for use with electronic
air cleaners.
NOTE
If two return air inlets are used, both must be equipped
with filters.
