Location 

This air cleaner is adaptable to unitary residential forced air 

heating  or  cooling  systems.  It  is  designed  to  be  installed  in  the 

return air duct close to the blower compartment of the furnace 

or air handler. This location provides the most even air flow 

across the filter helping to keep the system motor and fan clean. 

Installation

WARNING!

Turn off the heating and cooling system fan before performing 

maintenance to the air cleaner.

Installation

IMPORTANT: This air cleaner may cause more of a restriction on the 

airflow in the air-handling system than a standard 1" equipment filter, 

because of its increased efficiency. As the filter collects particulates, 

the pressure drop increases and airflow through the filter decreases. 

This air cleaner is not recommended where added pressure drop would 

cause operational problems with the heating and cooling equipment.

7.5

To improve the performance of the air cleaner, 

these simple steps are recommended:

•  Run  your  heating/cooling  system  fan  continuously,  on  low 

speed if available, since the air cleaner only removes particulate 

matter when the system fan is operating.

•  Ensure there are no obstructions to airflow (for example, from  

furniture or carpets) in front of the return air grilles so that air 

moves freely to the heating/cooling equipment.

Storage of Replacement Room Temperature Catalyst Insert  
and MERV 15 filter

•  Keep away from any chemical (solvents and strong oxidizers).
•  Keep away from heat sources.
•  Prevent dust generation
•  Store in well-ventilated area.
•  Keep  the  package  tightly  closed  and  away  from  dampness  

and humidity. 

Disposal of Replacement Room Temperature Catalyst Insert 
and MERV 15 filter

•  Dispose of in accordance with national, state and local regulations. 

Disposal requirements are dependent on the hazard classification 

and will vary by location and the type of disposal selected. 

•  Do not contaminate the ground or water with waste; do not  

dispose of waste into the environment.  

General Installation Steps

1.   Remove  existing  equipment  filter  (if  present)  and  clean  

  blower  compartment:  Thoroughly clean the blower 

 

  compartment,  since the air cleaner cannot remove accumulated  

  dirt from the blower chamber and distribution ducts.

2.  

  Leave  sufficient  room  around  the  air  cleaner:  There must be 

  adequate  room  to  remove  and  replace  the  filter  from  the  air 
  cleaner cabinet.

3.   Transitions:  If  the  air  duct  does  not  fit  the  air  cleaner 

  opening,  a  gradual  transition  is  recommended  to  reduce  air 

  turbulence  through  the  air  cleaner  and  ensure  its  efficient  

  operation.  A  maximum  of  20°  of  expansion,  or  approximately 

  4  inches  per  running  foot  (10  cm  per  30  cm),  is 

  recommended  for  each  side  of  the  transition  fitting. 

  Note:  Do  not  reduce  ductwork  size  to  fit  a  smaller  air  

  cleaner.  This  will  increase  the  velocity  of  airflow  and  may  

  decrease cleaning efficiency.

4.   Turning vanes: If the air cleaner is installed adjacent to an elbow 

  or angle fitting, field-installed turning vanes are recommended to 

  improve air distribution across the filter.

5. Remove  the  door:  When remov- 

 

  ing or replacing the door, hold the outer 

 

  door panel with both hands. The door  

 

  has industrial strength magnets in it  

 

  which  can  pinch  fingers  if  caught  

 

  between door and cabinet.

6. Remove filters: remove filters (MERV 15 

 

  & RTC) from cabinet 

7. Install  the  cabinet:  Attach  cabinet  to  

 

  furnace and filter riser, 

 

 air handler or to 

 

 

  plenum with the ten 

 

  self-tapping hex head 

 

  screws provided. Note  

 

  direction  of  flow   

 

  indicated on top and bottom of cabinet.

8.   Seal  the  joints  in  the  return  air  system:  All joints and seams  

  between the air cleaner, the heating / cooling equipment and the 

  return air duct should be sealed with aluminum tape or mastic to 

  prevent dust from entering the clean air stream.

9.   Replace  filters  and  door:  After  attaching  cabinet  and  sealing  all 

  joints,  reinstall  filters  (note  direction  of  flow).  Reinstall  door,  

  making  sure  it  is  properly  seated.  Remove  plastic  bag  before  

  installing the room temperature catalyst (RTC) insert.

10. Adjust  Daikin  Badge:  If  a  different  orientation  is  needed,  slide 

 

badge  up  and  pull  out  of  door.    Rotate  to  proper  orientation  

 

and reinstall.
