Return Air −− Horizontal Applications
Return air may be brought in only through the end of a fur-
nace installed in the horizontal position. The furnace is
equipped with a removable bottom panel to facilitate
installation. See figure 5.
Downflow Applications
The unit may be installed three ways in downflow applica-
tions: on non−combustible flooring, on combustible flooring
using an additive base, or on a reverse−flow cooling cabi-
net. Do not drag the unit across the floor in the down-
flow position. Flange damage will result.
Refer to figure 9 for clearances in downflow applica-
tions.

tional additive base is installed between the furnace and the com-
bustible floor.

NOTE − Floor opening dimensions listed are 1/4 inch (6 mm) larger than
the unit opening. See dimension drawing on page 2.
Installation on Combustible Flooring
1 − When unit is installed on a combustible floor, an addi-
tive base must be installed between the furnace and
the floor. The base must be ordered separately for the
following cabinet sizes:
B cabinet 445mm − # 11M60
D
C cabinet 533mm − # 11M61
D
D cabinet 622mm − # 11M62

See table 2 for opening size to cut in floor.
The furnace and additive base shall not be installed
directly on carpeting, tile, or other combustible ma-
terial other than wood flooring.

2 − After opening is cut, set additive base into opening.
3 − Check fiberglass strips on additive base to make sure
they are properly glued and positioned.
4 − Lower supply air plenum into additive base until ple-
num flanges seal against fiberglass strips.
NOTE − Be careful not to damage fiberglass strips.
Check for a tight seal.
5 − Set the furnace over the plenum.
