INTRODUCTION
The White-Rodgers Air Cleaner Compartment comes complete with a 5” media furnace air filter. This filter must be
changed every three months to maintain efficiency of the filter
and furnace system. For maximum efficiency, the compartment can be upgraded to a White-Rodgers Electronic Air
Cleaner.
Please read instructions before installing and using the Air
Filter Compartment.

The fiber filter used in this cabinet for air cleaning
must be replaced every 90 days. Your heating and
cooling efficiency will decrease due to insufficient
air flow when filter becomes dirty.

AIR FILTER COMPARTMENT
5" FILTER
DOOR
HOW THE AIR FILTER WORKS
5" FILTER
Dirty air flows through your return air ducts and enters the
compartment where particles (hair, lint, etc.) are removed
DIRTY AIR IN
by the filter. See figure 1.
Filtered air re-enters to the supply duct system of your
building.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE AIR FILTER COMPARTMENT
Not only is your air filter compartment easy to install, it is
also easy to maintain. Its basic components, and their
functions, are as follows: (See Figure 2)
Air Filter Compartment- mounts to existing duct work and
houses the filters or optional electronic air cleaner
cells.
NOTE: To upgrade your air filter compartment
with a high efficiency Electronic Air Cleaner, use
the ACR (Air Cleaner Retrofit) Kit for your model.
See page 7 for details.
5” Filter - collects dust, dirt and other particles.

Note ACM2000U Compartment: This unit has removable
rails (see figure 2A). This unit is installed with the rails to be
used with a 24.5” x 19.9” x 4.3” filter. Remove the rails and
a 5” filter may be used.

PREINSTALLATION
LOCATING THE AIR FILTER
Your air filter must be mounted in the return air duct of a
central forced-air system, on the air entering side of your
furnace. (See Figure 3 for example.)
Select a location that meets the following:
1. The face of the filter will be at a right angle to the air
stream.
2. Allow 25” of clearance in front of the air filter compartment door to permit removal of filters.
See figure 4 for complete compartment dimensions.
3. The air filter is not to be placed in the discharge of
either the heating or cooling unit.
4. IMPORTANT: If atomizing spray type humidifier is
used, it must be installed downstream from the air
filter.
If furnace opening cannot be enlarged to required size, a
transition sheet metal section must be used. Transition
must be planned for each job. Reduction should not be
more than 4 inches per linear foot, approximately 20
angular degrees (Figure 3).
