2. Remove refrigerant line knockouts in fur-
nace only when installing indoor coil of an 
air conditioner or heat pump system, or for 
hook-up of a VentilAire accessory when 
the furnace is used in the upfl ow position. 
Refer to instructions supplied with accessory 
equipment.
3.
Remove unit front door and slide back until 
bottom slots in rear of unit engage with both 
tabs of optional rear mounting plate, OR... 
If mounting plate is not used, an equivalent 
method of securing the rear of the unit may 
be used as long as it prevents displacement 
during transport if used in a manufactured 
home. 
NOTE: The furnace does not need to be hard 
up against the rear mounting plate. The tabs will 
engage into the slots and allow approximately 
1/2” of furnace adjustment front to back and 
right to left.

teners at mounting hole(s) provided or at 
tie-down tab (see Figure 16).
