locating the air cleaner

The Model 5000 can be installed in a variety of ways. The figures below show some of the possibilities.

The air cleaner may be installed on the left or right side of the air handler. If installed on the right, the ON/OFF switch will be on top and the nameplate will be on the bottom. Remove the nameplate and rotate it 180° to read properly.
