NOTE:

 

It is recommended to install an outside air inlet with a diameter of at least 5 inches in the room where the heating 
appliance  is  installed  (see  drawing  below).  It  is  preferable  to  choose  a  wall  which  is  not  exposed  to  dominant 
winds, depending on the conditions surrounding your house. In order to avoid condensation, the pipe should be 
insulated and its total length should be at least 10 feet (3.05 meters).

AIR RETURN DUCTING SUPPORT INSTALLATION 

Your furnace must be equipped with the air return ducting support. You will find this part in the hopper when the 
product is delivered. The air return ducting support can be installed on the left, on the right or behind the blower 
of the furnace. The air return ducting support is secured using 6 scre

ws supplied with the owner’s manual.
