Maintenance
Introduction
Your media air cleaner is a high efficiency air filtration device designed
to remove dirt, dust, pollen and other microscopic particles from the air
passing through it.
How to Maintain Your Air Cleaner
The media filter cartridge in your air cleaner must be replaced
periodically. The frequency of filter replacement is best
determined by visual examination. On average, filter cartridges
should be replaced every 9-12 months with normal usage.
How the Air Cleaner Works
Dirty air enters the air cleaner by way of the return air duct system in
your home. Particles are collected by the special pleated filter media.
The pleats provide an exceptionally large filtering face area in a very
compact space which allows maximum dirt holding capacities with
minimum air flow resistance.
STEPS FOR REPLACING FILTER CARTRIDGE
1. Open access door by pulling the handle. Remove door
completely.
2. Pull used filter straight out of cabinet and place to side.
3. Remove new filter cartridge from plastic bag and save the
bag.
4. Slide new filter cartridge into cabinet with “AIR-FLOW”
arrow pointing in the direction of airflow.
5. Replace door and place used filter in plastic bag for easy
disposal.

Physical Installation
The air cleaner cannot be installed with the access door facing down. The
section entitled Typical Mounting Positions (pg.4) shows examples of proper
air cleaner mounting with a variety of furnace installations.
Prior to Installing this Product
1. Read rules and instructions carefully for safe operation. Failure to follow
them could damage the product or cause a hazardous condition.
2
2. Check the ratings given on the product to make sure it is suitable for
your application.
3. Remove the old furnace filter and discard.
4. The air cleaner cannot remove existing dirt from the blower and ducts.
Clean the area thoroughly before beginning installation.
NOTE:
The following is a typical installation of the air cleaner on a highboy furnace.
You may have to alter the installation to fit your specific application.
1
5. Locate the cabinet in the cold air return duct such that all of the return
air flows through the unit. If the furnace and air cleaner openings are
different, use a transition.
3
6. Mounting holes are provided in the air cleaner cabinet for ductwork
attachment. The .140” diameter holes are sized for #8 sheet metal
screws, or 1/8” rivets. If the adjoining ductwork is flanged, install the
screws with the screw heads inside the cabinet, to prevent damage to
the filter cartridge during removal and installation.

Installation
Dimensions
Turning Vanes
If the air cleaner is installed adjacent to a 90° duct elbow, add turning vanes inside
the duct to improve the air distribution across the face of the air cleaner.
Direction of Air Flow Through the Air Cleaner
The air cleaner is set up for left to right air flow, when facing the access door. For
right to left air flow remove filter cartridge, turn it around and replace in cabinet.
The directional arrows on the filter cartridge must point in the direction of air
flow.

Location of the system humidifier is important to the operation of the air cleaner.
When an evaporative type humidifier is used, it may be installed between the
furnace warm air duct and the return air duct without affecting the air cleaner.
Atomizing and spray type humidifiers should be installed downstream of the air
cleaner. If the humidifier must be installed upstream, allow at least 6 feet
between the air cleaner and humidifier.

Application
TYPICAL MOUNTING POSITIONS
This air cleaner is used in forced air heating, cooling, and ventilating
(Air cleaner shown shaded in illustrations)
systems. The air cleaner should be installed in the system such that all the
system air is circulated through the air cleaner. Maximum performance is
obtained with the system blower set for continuous operation.
WARNING
Installation Requirements
Before making changes to a HVAC system
that may affect the ventilation of
fuel-burning appliances, contact your
heating contractor.
The best location for the air cleaner is in the return air duct next to the
blower compartment. In this location, the blower motor and cooling coils
will be kept clean. Do not install the air cleaner in the discharge air duct.
Before installing the air cleaner, consider the application. If a transition
between the ductwork and air cleaner is required, refer to section entitled
Transitions, below. The unit must be readily accessible for periodic
inspection and replacement of the filter cartridge to maintain maximum
efficiency and trouble-free operation. A clean coil will reduce utility costs
by maintaining the coil’s efficiency. Failure to replace filter cartridge can
cause damage to the cooling system. Allow a minimum of 26” clearance in
front of the access panel for filter cartridge replacement.
Transitions
Transitions
Transitions
If the air duct does not fit the air cleaner cabinet opening, gradual
transitions are recommended to reduce air turbulence through the air
cleaner and maximize efficiency. Not more than 20° (about 4” per running
foot) of expansion should be used on each side of the transition fitting.
