Media Air Cleaner captures and removes a significant amount of the air-borne particles from the air circulated
through the high-efficiency pleated media filter. The Media Air Cleaner easily mounts in any position within the
return air duct of any gas, oil, and electric forced warm air furnaces and to compressor cooling up to 5 tons.
Additionally, it requires no electrical connections or maintainence beyond periodic media filter replacement.

How it Works

The filter in your Honeywell Media Air Cleaner is made up of a web of fibers. As air passes through the Media
Air Cleaner, particulates such as dust, pollen, dander, mold, and bacteria collide with the fibers in the filter and
become trapped. Meanwhile, the clean air is allowed to continue through your heating and cooling system and into
your home. The particle removal efficiency of the Honeywell Media Air Cleaner can be found in the Specification
section of this manual.

Application Considerations

The Honeywell Media Air Cleaner is designed to work with gas, oil, and electric forced warm air furnaces and with
compressor cooling. It can also be used with heat pumps if the filter is changed regularly to prevent excessive
pressure drop. The Honeywell Media Air Cleaner is not recommended for applications where pressure drop may
be critical.

Air Conditioning
Mount the media air cleaner upstream of the evaporator coil in a cooling system. The filter will help to keep the coil
clean and reduce maintenance.
Humidifiers
The media air cleaner is compatible with humidifiers. Avoid applications where water mist will reach the media. If
an atomizing (steam) humidifier is used, the filter media will require replacement more often because of minerals
in the water.
UV Lights
Germicidal UV lights can cause degradation of the media filter. The UV light should be located out of line of sight
or a minimum of 3 feet from the filter. Otherwise the filter may need to be replaced more frequently.
