General Information
The Healthy Climate®Media Air Cleaner is a cabinet with
electrostatically charged lter media to remove airborne
particles. Particle removal efciency increases as the Mini-
mum Efciency Reporting Value (MERV)* rating increases.
The highest removal efciency is seen when the Healthy
Climate Media Air Cleaners are equipped with Healthy
Climate Carbon Clean 16 MERV 16 lters. Unlike other
high efciency air cleaners, the Healthy Climate Media Air
Cleaners do not require any power source to operate.
The Healthy Climate®cabinet is shipped compact, and re-
quires minimal assembly. The cabinet can be installed on
the furnace/air handler horizontally, or vertically, at the top,
or at the bottom, depending on the application (see Page 4
for application diagrams). Healthy Climate®Media Filter will
last up to one year depending on conditions in the home.
The Healthy Climate Media Air Cleaner comes in three siz-
es (HCC14-23, HCC16-28 and HCC20-28).
The HCC14-23 cabinet is designed to house the following
lters:
• HCF14-11
• HCXF14-11
• HCF14-13
• HCF14-16
• HCXF14-16

2
The HCC16-28 cabinet is designed to house the following
lters:
• HCF16-11
• HCXF16-11
• HCF16-13
• HCF16-16
• HCXF16-16
The HCC20-28 cabinet is designed to house the following
lters:
• HCF20-11
• HCXF20-11
• HCF20-13
• HCF20-16
• HCXF20-16
Healthy Climate box cabinets and lters (box or expandable
media) are purchased separately.
*MERV rating is determined by testing according to
ASHRAE standard 52.2.
Required Tools

the furnace/air handler:
• Electric drill
• 1/4” (6mm) hex head tool
• Tin snips
• Screwdriver
• Rule/tape measure
• Gloves for sharp edge protection
• Foil tape
Rules for Safe Installation

front frame B into one end of side panel E (see fFigure
3 on page 3). Firmly press down until each corner
has snapped into place.
3. Align and insert rear frame A into side panel E (see
Figure 4 on page 3).
4. Align and insert remaining side panel E into front frame
B and rear frame A. Firmly press down until each corner
has snapped into place (see Figure 5 on page 3).

Use of Healthy Climate Media Air Cleaner
for Construction Filtration
Healthy Climate Media Air Cleaners may be used for l-
tering heated or cooled air of buildings or structures under
construction if the following conditions are met to ensure
proper operation:
DO NOT USE THE UNIT FOR CONSTRUCTION FILTRA-
TION UNLESS ALL OF THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA
ARE MET:
• Cabinet and furnace or air handler must be in their -
nal location. The vent system must be permanently in-
stalled per these installation instructions.
• Refer to furnace or air handler installation instructions
for any additional construction use criteria. All furnace
or air handler construction use criteria must also be met.
• Supply and return air ducts must be provided and
sealed to the furnace or air handler. Return air must be
terminated outside of the space where the furnace or air
handler is installed.
• Healthy Climate MERV 11 or greater air lters must be
installed in the system and must be regularly inspect-
ed and maintained during construction. Filters must be
changes when operating more than 0.1” WC static pres-
sure over initial static pressure at operating airow.
• Air lters must be replaced upon construction comple-
tion.
FILTER LIFE MAY BE SHORTENED WHEN USED IN
STRUCTURES UNDER CONSTRUCTION. FILTER MUST
BE REPLACED UPON CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION.
EQUIPMENT MAY EXPERIENCE PREMATURE COM-
PONENT FAILURE AS A RESULT OF FAILURE TO FOL-
LOW THE THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

Cabinet Installation
The following is a typical installation of the cabinet with an
up-ow furnace (see Figure 8 on page 4).
1. Position the cabinet alongside the furnace with the
access door opening facing outward.
2. Align the cabinet opening with the opening on the
furnace. (For 5 ton application, use option 1 or 2 [see
Figure 9 on page 5 and Figure 10 on page 5).
3. Secure the cabinet to the furnace using sheet metal
screws in the pre-drilled cabinet mounting holes (see
gure 12).
4. Use a butt joint to attach the duct to the upstream side
of the cabinet.
NOTE: If necessary, use sheet metal turning vanes to
improve air movement through an elbow in the duct.
5. Connect the next section of the duct. If necessary, use
a properly sized wooden block to support a duct elbow.
6. Use foil tape to seal all duct joints. This prevents dust
from entering the air stream.
7. Insert side rails (D) into the cabinet and use the provided
screws to secure them to the cabinet at both the top and
bottom (see gure 13).
8. Slide the lter into the rail and secure the cabinet door
(see gure 14).

Risk of Carbon Monoxide
