Filters—Read This Section Before Installing the Return Air Ductwork
■
Filters must be used with this furnace. Discuss filter
maintenance with the building owner.
■
Filters do not ship with this furnace, but must be provided,
sized and installed externally by the installer.
■
Filters must comply with UL900 or CAN/ULCS111 standards.
If the furnace is installed without filters, the warranty will be
voided.
■
On upflow units, guide dimples locate the side return cutout
locations. Use a straight edge to scribe lines connecting the
dimples. Cut out the opening on these lines.
NOTE: An undersized opening will cause reduced airflow.
Refer to Minimum Filter Requirement charts to determine filter
area requirements.
*Minimum filter area dictated by heating airflow requirement.
