Thermostats:
It is recommended that a single-stage heat , non-power robbing thermostat be used. Refer to the product marketing
literature for a complete list of thermostats offered.
Filters:
Filters are required with this furnace and must be provided by the installer. The filters used must comply with UL900 or
CAN/ULCS111 standards. Installing this furnace without filters will void the unit warranty.
Upflow Filters
This furnace has provisions for the installation of return air filters at the side and/or bottom return. The furnace will
accommodate the following filter sizes depending on cabinet size:
Refer to Minimum Filter Area tables to determine filter area requirement. NOTE: Filters can also be installed elsewhere
in the duct system such as a central return.

NOTES:
1. For elevations above 2000 feet the rating should be reduced by 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level. The furnace must not be derated, orifice
changes should only be made if necessary for altitude.
2. The total heat loss from the structure as expressed in TOTAL BTU/HR must be calculated by the manufacturers method or in accordance with the
"A.S.H.R.A.E. GUIDE" or "MANUAL J-LOAD CALCULATIONS" published by the AIR CONDITIONING CONTRACTORS OF AMERICA. The total
heat loss calculated should be equal to or less than the heating capacity. Output based on D.O.E. test procedures, steady state efficiency times

(CFM & Temperature Rise vs. External Static Pressure)
1. CFM in chart is without filters(s). Filters do not ship with this furnace, but must be provided by the installer.
2. All furnaces ship as high speed cooling. Installer must adjust blower cooling speed as needed.
3. For most jobs, about 400 CFM per ton when cooling is desirable.
4. INSTALLATION IS TO BE ADJUSTED TO OBTAIN TEMPERATURE RISE WITHIN THE RANGE SPECIFIED ON THE RATING PLATE.
5. The chart is for information only. For satisfactory operation, external static pressure must not exceed value shown on rating plate. The shaded area indicates ranges in excess
of maximum external static pressure allowed when heating. The data for 0.6" w.c. to 0.8" w.c. is shown for air conditioning purposes only.
6 The dashed (---) areas indicate a temperature rise not recommended for this model.
7. At higher altitudes, a properly derated unit will have approximately the same temperature rise at a particular CFM, while the ESP at that CFM will be lower.
