FIRE, CARBON MONOXIDE AND POISONING
HAZARD
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury,
death, or property damage.
Never operate furnace without a filter or with filter access
door removed.
!
WARNING
The air filter arrangement will vary due to application, furnace
orientation, 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).

* Factory-provided with the furnace. Filters may be field modified by cutting filter
material and support rods (3) in filters. Alternate sizes and additional filters can
be ordered from your distributor or dealer.
† Upflow only. Alternate sizes and additional filters may be ordered from
your dealer.
If installing the filter in the furnace blower compartment,
determine location for filter and relocate filter retaining wire, if
necessary. See Table 4 to determine correct filter size for desired
filter location. Table 4 indicates filter size, location, and quantity
shipped with this furnace. See Fig. 2 for location and size of
bottom and side return-air openings.

CUT HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
Use care when cutting support rods in filters to protect against
flying pieces and sharp rod ends. Wear safety glasses, gloves,
and appropriate protective clothing.
CAUTION
!
UNIT MAY NOT OPERATE
Failure to follow this caution may result in intermittent
unit operation.
For airflow requirements above 1800 CFM, see Air Delivery
table in Product Data literature for specific use of single side
inlets. The use of both side inlets, a combination of 1 side and
the bottom, or the bottom only will ensure adequate return air
openings for airflow requirements above 1800 CFM.
CAUTION
!
NOTE
:
Side return-air openings can ONLY be used in
UPFLOW configurations. Install filter(s) as shown in Fig. 26.
Bottom return-air opening may be used with all 4 orientations.
Filter may need to be cut to fit some furnace widths. Install filter
as shown in Fig. 27.
NOTE
: Remove and discard bottom closure panel when bottom
inlet is used.
Step 6—Bottom Closure Panel
These furnaces are shipped with bottom enclosure panel installed
in bottom return-air opening. This panel MUST be in place when
side return air is used.
To remove bottom closure panel, perform following:
1. Tilt or raise furnace and remove 2 screws holding front
filler panel. (See Fig. 28.)
2. Rotate front filler panel downward to release holding tabs.
3. Remove bottom closure panel.
4. Reinstall front filler panel and screws.
Step 7—Gas Piping
Gas piping must be installed in accordance with national and
local codes. Refer to current edition of NFGC in the United
States. Canadian installations must be made in accordance with
NSCNGPIC and all authorities having jurisdiction.
Gas supply line should be a separate line running directly from
meter to furnace, if possible. Refer to Table 5 for recommended
gas pipe sizing. Risers must be used to connect to furnace and to
meter. Support all gas piping with appropriate straps, hangers,
etc. Use a minimum of 1 hanger every 6 ft (1.8 M). Joint
compound (pipe dope) should be applied sparingly and only to
male threads of joints. Pipe dope must be resistant to propane gas.
