MEDIA AIR CLEANER HOW YOUR MEDIA AIR CLEANER WORKS 2 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.

MEDIA AIR CLEANER 2. 3. Turning Vanes • If the media air cleaner is installed next to an elbow or angel fitting, add turning vanes inside the angle to distribute airflow more evenly across the face of the media. See Fig. 13. • Turning vanes must be properly secured to prevent movement. Duct Offsets • If the duct connection to the furnace in a side installation is less than 7 in. you will need to add an offset. See Fig. 14. • Turning vanes may be required to distribute air flow evenly.
MEDIA AIR CLEANER Disconnect Existing Ductwork NOTE: Skip this step if the media air cleaner is being installed on a new system without existing duct that needs to be removed or modified. 1. 2. 3. Review the installation location and verify that there is adequate clearance for removal and replacement of the filter cartridge. See Fig. 16. Make sure that all sheet-metal components, such as transitions and duct offsets, are available.
MEDIA AIR CLEANER Install Filter Cartridge 1. 2. 3. 4. Slide filter cartridge into cabinet, making sure the “AIR FLOW” arrow on the cartridge is in the direction of air flow (pointing towards furnace).
