WARNING
Improper installation of the furnace can result in per-
sonal injury or death. Combustion and flue products
must never be allowed to enter the return air system
or air in the living space. Use sheet metal screws and
joint tape to seal return air system to furnace.
In platform installations with furnace return, the fur-
nace should be sealed airtight to the return air ple-
num. A door must never be used as a portion of the
return air duct system. The base must provide a
stable support and an airtight seal to the furnace. Al-
low absolutely no sagging, cracks, gaps, etc.
For no reason should return and supply air duct sys-
tems ever be connected to or from other heating de-
vices such as a fireplace or stove, etc. Fire, explo-
sion, carbon monoxide poisoning, personal injury
and/or property damage could result.

For installations on a combustible floor, do not install the furnace
directly on carpeting, tile or other combustible materials other
than wood flooring.

Return Air Guidelines
Return air can be brought in through the bottom or either
side of the furnace installed in an upflow application. If the
furnace is installed on a platform with bottom return, make
an airtight seal between the bottom of the furnace and the
platform to ensure that the furnace operates properly and
safely. The furnace is equipped with a removable bottom
panel to facilitate installation.
Markings are provided on both sides of the furnace cabinet
for installations that require side return air. Cut the furnace
cabinet at the maximum dimensions shown on page 2.
Refer to Engineering Handbook for additional information.
92AF1UH/95AF1UH applications which include side
return air and a condensate trap installed on the same
side of the cabinet (trap can be installed remotely with-
in 5 ft.) require either a return air base or field−fabri-
cated transition to accommodate an optional IAQ ac-
cessory taller than 14.5". See figure 10.
