EVER ALLOW THE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION, INCLUDING CARBON
MONOXIDE, TO ENTER THE RETURN DUCTWORK OR CIRCULATION AIR SUPPLY.
Duct systems and register sizes must be properly designed for
the CFM and external static pressure rating of the furnace.
Ductwork should be designed in accordance with the
recommended methods of "Air Conditioning Contractors of
America" Manual D.
A duct system must be installed in accordance with Standards of
the National Board of Fire Underwriters for the Installation of Air
Conditioning, Warm Air Heating and Ventilating Systems.
Pamphlets No. 90A and 90B.
A closed return duct system must be used, with the return duct
connected to the furnace. NOTE: Ductwork must never be attached
to the back of the furnace. Supply and return connections to the
furnace may be made with flexible joints to reduce noise
transmission. To prevent the blower from interfering with
combustion air or draft when a central return is used, a connecting
duct must be installed between the unit and the utility room wall. A
room, closet, or alcove must not be used as a return air chamber.

WARNING
When the furnace is used in connection with a cooling unit, the
furnace should be installed in parallel with or on the upstream
side of the cooling unit to avoid condensation in the heating
element. With a parallel flow arrangement, the dampers or other
means used to control the flow of air must be adequate to prevent
chilled air from entering the furnace and, if manually operated,
must be equipped with means to prevent operation of either unit
3/4"
unless the damper is in the full heat or cool position.
7,500
When the furnace is installed without a cooling coil, it is
4,200
recommended that a removable access panel be provided in the
4,000
3,700
outlet air duct. This opening shall be accessible when the furnace
3,400
is installed and shall be of such a size that the heat exchanger
3,100
can be viewed for visual light inspection or such that a sampling
2,600
probe can be inserted into the airstream. The access panel must
2,300
be made to prevent air leaks when the furnace is in operation.
2,100
1,900
When the furnace is heating, the temperature of the return air
1,700
1,500
entering the furnace must be between 55°F and 100°F.
When a furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air circulated
by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace,
the return air shall also be handled by a duct sealed to the furnace
casing and terminating outside the space containing the furnace.

Filters must be used with this furnace. Discuss filter maintenance

with the building owner. Filters do not ship with this furnace, but
1,212 1,858
must be provided by the installer. Filters must comply with UL900

or CAN/ULCS111 standards. If the furnace is installed without

For air delivery of less than 1800 CFM, use a one side or bottom
390

return. For air delivery of 1800 CFM or higher, use either two-
sided returns or a one-sided return with a bottom return. Refer to
Minimum Filter Area tables at the end of this manual to determine
filter area requirements.

NSTALLATIONS
Depending on the installation and/or customer preference,
differing filter arrangements can be applied. Filters can be
installed in the central return register or a side panel external filter
rack kit (upflows), or the ductwork above a counterflow furnace. As
an alternative, a media air filter or electronic air cleaner can be
used as the requested filter. The following figures show possible
filter locations.
C
IRCULATION
One of the most common causes of a problem in a forced air
heating system is a blocked or dirty filter. Circulating air filters
must be inspected monthly for dirt accumulation and replaced if
necessary. Failure to maintain clean filters can cause premature
heat exchanger failure.
A new home may require more frequent replacement until all
construction dust and dirt is removed. Circulating air filters are to
be installed in the return air duct external to the furnace cabinet.
