A closed return duct system must be used, with the return duct
connected to the furnace. NOTE: Ductwork must never be attached
to the back of the furnace. Flexible joints may be used for supply
and return connections to reduce noise transmission. To prevent
the blower from interfering with combustion air or draft when a
central return is used, a connecting duct must be installed be-
tween the unit and the utility room wall. Never use a room, closet,

The bottom return air opening on upflow models utilizes a “lance
and cut” method to remove sheet metal from the duct opening in
the base pan. To remove, simply press out the lanced sections by
hand to expose the metal strips retaining the sheet metal over the
duct opening. Using tin snips, cut the metal strips and remove the
sheet metal covering the duct opening. In the corners of the open-
ing, cut the sheet metal along the scribe lines to free the duct
flanges. Using the scribe line along the duct flange as a guide,
unfold the duct flanges around the perimeter of the opening using
a pair of seamer pliers or seamer tongs. NOTE: Airflow area will be
reduced by approximately 18% if duct flanges are not unfolded.
This could cause performance issues and noise issues.
