What to Expect From Your Honeywell Media Air Cleaner
Congratulations for selecting the Honeywell Media Air Cleaner for your home comfort system! The F100 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.
When Installing this Product...
1.Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them could damage the product or cause a hazardous condition.
2.Check the rating given in the instructions and on the product to make sure the product is suitable for your application.
3.Installer must be a trained, experienced service technician.
4.After installation is complete, check out product operation as provided in these instructions.
How it Works
The filter in your F100 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 F100 Media Air Cleaner can be found in the Specification section of this manual.

Application Considerations
The Honeywell F100 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 F100 Media Air Cleaner is not recommended for applications where pressure drop may be critical.
Models
F100F Media Air Cleaner includes cabinet, access door and pleated media filter. F100B Media Air Cleaner includes cabinet and access door.
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 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.

Transitions
For most efficient air cleaning, spread airflow evenly across the face of the media. If the duct is a different size than the media air filter cabinet, gradual transitions are required. Follow these guidelines when fabricating:
•Use gradual transitions to reduce air turbulence and increase efficiency.
•Use no more than 20 degrees (about 4 in. per running ft. (100 mm per 300 linear mm)) of expansion on each side of a transition fitting.
Turning Vanes
If the media air cleaner is installed next to an elbow or angle fitting, add turning vanes inside the angle to distribute airflow more evenly across the face of the media. See middle figure.
Sheetmetal
The media air cleaner is adaptable to all new or existing forced air heating and cooling systems used in residential applications. Transitions or turning vanes may be required in some applications for effective media air cleaner operation.
Offsets
If the duct connection to the furnace in a side installation allows less than 7 in. (178 mm) for mounting media air cleaner cabinet, attach an offset to the elbow.
See bottom figure at right.

Important Installation Requirements
Failure to comply with these requirements will result in voided warranty, improper installation, and service callbacks.
Personal Safety
•Wear safety glasses while installing the unit.
•Do not cut into any air conditioning or electrical line.
•Follow professional safety standards and all local codes for plumbing, electrical, and mechanical considerations.
Before Mounting
•Using the figure on the cover and the lists on the inside cover, make sure that you have all the components for your Honeywell Media Air Cleaner and the tools to install it.
•Ensure airflow direction through the Honeywell Media Air Cleaner matches the arrows on the filter cartridge. The arrows should point in the direction of the airflow.
•Choose a location that is readily accessible for checking and replacing the filter. Allow at least 26 in. (660 mm) clearance in front of the unit for removal of the cartridge.
•Install the media air filter where the temperature will not exceed the ratings in the Specifications.
•Do not mount in the supply air duct.
NOTE: Generally, the best location is in the return air duct next to the blower compartment so the media air cleaner can help to keep the blower motor and evaporator coils clean.
If Replacing an Old Air Cleaner
If the Honeywell Media Air Cleaner is not identical in size and shape to the existing air cleaner, before performing a retrofit installation, you might need to add duct transitions to ensure a smooth air flow.
For optimum system performance, replace the filter every six months (before heating season and before cooling season). Adjust the schedule to your needs, but replace the filter at least once per year.

Choosing a Mounting Position
The Media Air Cleaner mounts in any position within the return air duct, usually next to the furnace blower compartment, but the arrow on the cartridge must point in the same direction as the airflow. See Figs. 3-10 for proper location of the media air cleaner for a variety of furnace installations.
NOTE: The media air cleaner cabinet is sturdy enough to easily support the weight of the furnace and evaporator coil.
