Refer to Minimum Filter Requirement charts to determine filter area requirements.
*Minimum filter area dictated by heating airflow requirement.
Upright Installations
Depending on the installation and/or customer preference, filters
can be installed in the central return register or a side panel
external filter rack kit (upflows). As an alternative, a media air filter
or electronic air cleaner can be used as the requested filter.
The following illustrations show possible filter locations.

Filters must be installed in either the central return register or in
the return air ductwork.
