Important Installation Requirements
Personal Safety
•
Wear safety glasses while installing the unit.
•
Do not cut into any air conditioning or electrical line.
•
Follow professional safety standards and all local codes for plumbing, electrical, and mechanical
considerations.
Before Mounting
•
Using the figure on the cover and the lists on the inside cover, make sure that you have all the components
for your Media Air Cleaner and the tools to install it.
•
Ensure airflow direction through the Media Air Cleaner matches the arrows on the filter cartridge. The
arrows should point in the direction of the airflow.
•
Choose a location that is readily accessible for checking and replacing the filter. Allow at least 26 in.
(660 mm) clearance in front of the unit for removal of the cartridge.
•
Install the media air filter where the temperature will not exceed the ratings in the Specifications.
•
Do not mount in the supply air duct.
NOTE:
Generally, the best location is in the return air duct next to the blower compartment so the media air
cleaner can help to keep the blower motor and evaporator coils clean.
If Replacing an Old Air Cleaner
If the Media Air Cleaner is not identical in size and shape to the existing air cleaner, before performing a
retrofit installation, you might need to add duct transitions to ensure a smooth air flow
.
For optimum system performance, replace the filter every six months (before heating season and before
cooling season). Adjust the schedule to your needs, but replace the filter at least once per year.
Failure to comply with these requirements will result in voided warranty, improper installation, and
service callbacks.
