PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in increase furnace
operating temperatures and shorten the life of the furnace.
Filters specified for the furnace are rated at a maximum of 600
FPM air velocity and sized for the furnace's airflow rate.
Replacement filters must be of equivalent type, size, and rating
except as described below.
Disposable, low-velocity filters may be used to replace
washable, high-velocity filters, providing they are sized for
300 FPM or less.
If you are uncertain of the type of replacement filter to use,
consult the furnace installer or a qualified service agency for
assistance.
