Ultra-Aire 98H Installation Instructions

The Ultra-Aire 98H is equipped with a MERV-13 filter. An optional MERV-11 filter, MERV-14 filter, and MERV-14 
filter housing is available at www.ThermastorFilters.com. The filter should be checked and replaced every three 
to six months. Operating the unit with a dirty filter will reduce dehumidifier capacity and efficiency. 
DO NOT operate the unit without the recommended filter. Filter non-compliance voids the product warranty.
