HORIZONTAL INSTALLATIONS

1. Position the unit to minimize long runs of duct or runs
of duct with many turns and elbows.
2. If summer air conditioning is desired, position the in-
door coil on the supply air side of the unit. Ensure that
no air can bypass this coil.
3. Connect the furnace to the supply air plenum.
4. Connect the return air ducting to the return air opening
at the return-air end of the unit. Make the connection
air tight to prevent the migration of toxic fumes and
odors including carbon monoxide from migrating into
the living space from an adjacent fuel-burning appli-
ance.

garages or cold areas. Avoid return air from utility
rooms, kitchens, laundry rooms and bathrooms.
