D. FILTER LOCATION AND CLEANING
?
??
? CAUTION: To avoid injury from moving part, hot surfaces or electrical
shock, shut off the power to the furnace and allow the furnace to cool
before removing furnace access door to service filter.
The air filter should be inspected each month and cleaned when dirty. Clean the
filter by soaking it in water with a mild detergent and rinsing it with clean water.
Allow the filter to air dry before reinstalling it in the furnace. Cleaning the air filter
frequently may prevent airborne contaminants from going through the furnace
and depositing in the furnace, duct system, and interior of the building.
See Figure 10, in this section, for the location of the return air filter.
