Inspecting and Replacing Filters

IMPORTANT
Filter access panel must be in place during unit operation.
Excessive warm air entering the unit may result in water
blow-off problems.
Filters may be duct-mounted or installed in the cabinet. A
filter is installed at the factory. Note that filter access door
fits over access panel. Air will leak if the access panel is
placed over the filter door.
Filters should be inspected monthly and must be cleaned
or replaced when dirty to assure proper air handler oper-
ation.
Reusable filters supplied with some units can be washed
with water and mild detergent. Some units are equipped
with standard throw-away type filters which should be re-
placed when dirty.
To replace filter:
1 - Loosen the thumbscrews holding the filter panel in
place. Remove the dirty filter.
2 - Insert new filter and replace panel.

Sealing the Unit

There must be an airtight seal between the bottom of
the air handler and the return air plenum. Use fiberglass
sealing strips, caulking, or equivalent sealing method
between the plenum and the air handler cabinet to
ensure a tight seal. Return air must not be drawn from a
room where this air handler or any gas-fueled appliance
(i.e., water heater), or carbon monoxide-producing
device (i.e., wood fireplace) is installed.
Seal the unit so that warm air is not allowed into the cabi-
net. Warm air introduces moisture, which results in water
blow-off problems. This is especially important when the
unit is installed in an unconditioned area.
