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).

Typical use of duct offset to match air filter opening.
If duct connection to furnace allows less than nine inches for mounting the air filter, shorten the lateral trunk, or attach an offset fitting to the elbow.
