Selecting a Location
Select a location that is readily accessible for periodic
inspection and cleaning. Allow a minimum of 26” in front of
the access panel for filter removal. For complete dimen-
sions required, refer to Figure 4.
Direction Of Air Flow Through The Air
Cleaner
NOTE:
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.
Installation
The air cleaner can be installed in any position, except with
the access door facing down. See Figures 5-9 for proper air
cleaner mounting with a variety of furnace and blower coil
installations. See furnace/blower coil installation instruc-
tions for additional information on filter sizing.
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. Check the ratings given on the product to make sure it
is suitable for your application (Figure 4).
Note: Installer is responsible for proper application of
Amana Media Air Cleaner.
3. Disconnect electric power supply to furnace/blower
and close gas supply to furnace.
4. Remove the old filter and discard according to state and
local codes.
5. The air cleaner cannot remove existing dirt from the
blower and ducts. Clean the area thoroughly before
you begin.
6. Remove unit access panel and media filter from the
cabinet.
NOTE:
The following is a typical installation of the air
cleaner on an upflow furnace (Figure 6). You may have
to alter the installation to fit your application.
7. Locate the cabinet in the cold air return duct so that all
of the return air flows through the unit. If the furnace
and air cleaner openings are different, use transitions.
8. Mounting holes are provided for duct work attachment.
The .140” holes are sized for #8 sheet metal screws, or
1/8” rivets. If the adjoining duct work is flanged, install
the screws so that the screw heads are inside the
cabinet. This will prevent damage to the filter during
removal and installation (Figure 3).
9. Remove plastic bag from media filter and replace
media filter in cabinet.
10. After the unit has been secured, seal seams air tight
with duct tape or caulking.
11. Reinstall cabinet front panel door assembly.
12. Reconnect electric power supply and open the gas
valve on gas furnace.
13. Check unit for proper heating and cooling operation.
Note: You must verify that the temperature rise for gas
furnaces remains in the range listed on the furnace rating
plate. If necessary, adjust the blower motor speed referring
to the furnace installation instructions until the proper
temperature rise is achieved. Check the unit for cooling
operation and verify proper air flow across the coil.
