installing the outer housing and inner housing assembly
WARNING
120 Volts may cause serious injury from electrical shock. Leave power disconnected until installation is complete.
1. Turn the system OFF at the thermostat by changing the mode selector to OFF – this may be a switch or a pushbutton, depending on the type of thermostat.
2. Disconnect power service to the furnace or air handler.
3. Remove air cleaner power pack / door assembly and pull inner assembly out of the outer housing.
4. Remove the media carton and the cardboard inserts and strapping, used to hold the media, from the inner housing.
5. On retrofit applications, remove and discard the existing filter and filter housing. Thoroughly clean the blower, blower compartment and evaporative coil.
6. With the airflow label on the outer housing pointing toward the furnace/air handler (see Figure 10), attach the outer housing to the furnace/air handler.

7. Provide support for the housing, as shown in Figure 10, if the unit is to be installed on the side of an upflow furnace/ air handler (see example of this type of installation in Figure 6).
8. Seal the perimeter of the inlet and outlet connections with mastic, caulk or tape as desired. DO NOT USE SILICON BASED
CAULK.
9. Open the inner housing and install the media.
Use the instructions provided on the carton of the media.
