HOW YOUR MEDIA AIR CLEANER 

WORKS

Thank you for purchasing a Honeywell Media Air Cleaner.

Your Honeywell Media Air Cleaner works by capturing small 

particles, such as dust and pollen, in between thousands of 

small fibers. These fibers provide high efficiency filtration 

while allowing air to pass with minimal resistance. Since your 

heating and cooling system relies on proper air flow to operate 

correctly, this feature allows improved filtration without 

impacting the performance of your heating and cooling 

system.

The 4 inch deep pleated design of the filter in your Honeywell 

Media Air Cleaner also lasts significantly longer than the 

typical 1 inch filter it replaces. Compared to typical 1 inch 

filters, the 4 inch deep pleated design contains a lot more filter 

area. Increased filter area means that the filter can capture 

and hold more dust and particles before needing to be 

changed. As a result, you only need to replace the Honeywell 

4 inch deep pleat air filter once or twice per year, in most 

cases.

HOW YOU CAN MAINTAIN YOUR 

MEDIA AIR CLEANER

For optimum system performance, you should replace the 

filter cartridge every six months (before heating season and 

before cooling season). You may adjust the schedule to fit 

your particular application, but replace the filter at least 

annually. With regular replacement of the filter cartridge, your 

Honeywell Media Air Cleaner should provide years of service.

Replacing Filter Cartridge
