Upflow / Horizontal Furnace Filters
The Upflow/Horizontal furnace when installed horizontally
requires a horizontal filter kit. The filters may be located
remote to the furnace or in the return air duct near the furnace.
Check with your dealer for the location of your filters.
An upflow/horizontal furnace in horizontal return air filter
application, as shown, features two 16" x 20" x 1" filters in
the 17-1/2", 21" and 24-1/2" wide furnace cabinets.
To replace filters, remove the filter access door, lift the filter
from the lower bracket and shift the filter to the side to free
the top filter from the bracket and slide the filters out
through the filter access door. After cleaning, replace the
filters in the same manner making sure that the filters are
secured in place in both top and bottom filter brackets.
Replace filter access door.
Air filters may also be located outside of the furnace using a
remote filter grille. The filter grille could be in a hallway,
wall, or in the ceiling. Check with your dealer for the exact
location of your filter and the method of changing the filters.
