Installer's Guide
When the upflow furnace is installed in the horizontal
application and a close coupled (less than 36") return
duct is attached to the bottom side of the furnace as
shown in Figure 10, securely attach a 1/2" mesh metal
hardware cloth protective screen to the inside bottom
of the filter grill to prevent personal injury from
contacting moving parts when reaching into the
return opening to replace the filter.
Close coupled (less than 36") return (filter directly
beneath bottom side return) is not recommended due to
noise considerations.
Downflow Furnaces: Brackets are factory supplied
to mount filters in the return air duct work.
WARNING
L !
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not install the filter in the return duct directly above
the furnace in horizontal applications. Install the filter re-
motely. Failure to follow the safety warnings exactly could
result in serious injury, death or property damage.

7. Connect the duct work to the furnace. See Outline
Drawing (pages 5-6) for supply and return duct size
and location. Flexible duct connectors are recommend-
ed to connect both supply and return air ducts to the
furnace.
If only the front of the furnace is accessible, it is recom-
mended that both supply and return air plenums are
removable.
8. When replacing a furnace, old duct work should be
cleaned out. Thin cloths should be placed over the
registers and the furnace fan should be run for 10 min-
utes. Don't forget to remove the cloths before you start
the furnace.

RETURN AIR FILTERS

(Filter and filter rack are not supplied with unit)
TYPICAL UPFLOW RETURN AIR FILTER INSTALLATIONS
These furnaces require high velocity type air filters. The
optional filters may be located within the furnace blower
compartment for UPFLOW furnaces in either a BOTTOM
or SIDE (left side or right side) return air inlet. Some
optional filters may need to be trimmed for side or bottom
filter use.
The furnace and the blower filter rack installation can be
seen in Figure 12.
The optional furnace filter in the bottom or side configura-
tion can be removed by simply turning the two latches on
the blower door and tilting the door forward.
The filter rails are spring loaded for automatic adjustment
to allow standard size, locally obtainable replacement
filters. The filter rack itself slides to adjust to the required
width needed for bottom or side return.
