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.
