LOCATING THE AIR FILTER
Your air fi lter must be mounted in the return air duct of a central
forced-air system, on the air entering side of your furnace. (See
Figure 3 for example).
Select a location that meets the following:
1. The face of the fi lter will be at a right angle to the air
stream.
2. Allow 25” of clearance in front of the air fi lter compartment
door to permit removal of fi lters.
See fi gure 4 for complete compartment dimensions.

3. The air fi lter is not to be placed in the discharge of either the
heating or cooling unit.
4. IMPORTANT: If atomizing spray type humidifi er is used, it
must be installed downstream from the air fi lter.
If furnace opening cannot be enlarged to required size, a
transition sheet metal section must be used. Transition must
be planned for each job. Reduction should not be more than
4 inches per linear foot, approximately 20 angular degrees
(Figure 3).
