Filter Installation
The OD6 comes with (2) two 18-3/4” x 12-3/4” reusable filters. A “W” style filter rack is shipped with the
furnace for placement of the filters inside the return air plenum. Access to the filters is through the
removable blower door. For horizontal installations, it is recommended that return air grill filters be
installed for homeowner access.
