GETTING
STARTED
Congratulations for selecting the Honeywell Media Air Cleaner for your home comfort system! The F100 Media
Air Cleaner captures and removes a signicant amount of the air-borne particles from the air circulated through
the high-efciency pleated media lter. 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 lter 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 lter in your F100 Media Air Cleaner is made up of a web of bers. As air passes through the Media Air
Cleaner, particulates such as dust, pollen, dander, mold, and bacteria collide with the bers in the lter and
become trapped. Meanwhile, the clean air is allowed to continue through your heating and cooling system and
into your home. The particle removal efciency of the F100 Media Air Cleaner can be found in the Specication
section of this manual.

GETTING
STARTED
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 lter 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 lter. 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 lter will help to keep the
coil clean and reduce maintenance.
Humidiers
The media air cleaner is compatible with humidiers. Avoid applications where water mist will reach the media.
If an atomizing humidier is used, the lter media will require replacement more often because of minerals in the
water.
UV Lights
Germicidal UV lights can cause degradation of the media lter. The UV light should be located out of line of sight
or a minimum of 3 feet from the lter. Otherwise the lter may need to be replaced more frequently.
F100 MediaAir Cleaner 68-0239EF—05 3

GETTING
STARTED
Transitions
For most efcient air cleaning, spread airow evenly
across the face of the media. If the duct is a different
size than the media air lter cabinet, gradual transitions
are required. Follow these guidelines when fabricating:
• Use gradual transitions to reduce air turbulence and
increase efciency.
• 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 tting.
Turning Vanes
If the media air cleaner is installed next to an elbow
or angle tting, add turning vanes inside the angle to
distribute airow more evenly across the face of the
media. See middle gure.
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.

Important Installation Requirements
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 gure 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 airow direction through the Honeywell Media Air Cleaner matches the arrows on the lter cartridge.
The arrows should point in the direction of the airow.
• Choose a location that is readily accessible for checking and replacing the lter. Allow at least 26 in. (660 mm)
clearance in front of the unit for removal of the cartridge.
• Install the media air lter where the temperature will not exceed the ratings in the Specications.
• 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 retrot installation, you might need to add duct transitions to ensure a smooth air ow.
For optimum system performance, replace the lter every six months (before heating season and before cooling
season). Adjust the schedule to your needs, but replace the lter at least once per year.
Failure to comply with these requirements will result in voided warranty, improper installation, and
service callbacks.
F100 MediaAir Cleaner 68-0239EF—05 5

MOUNTING
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 airow. 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.

MOUNTING
The following procedure describes a typical side installation on an existing highboy furnace (Fig. 1). Alternate
procedures are noted as appropriate. Other changes in installation procedures may be necessary to complete
your installation.
NOTE: Before starting the installation, remove and discard the existing furnace lter (if used). Thoroughly clean
the blower compartment. If possible, power vacuum the ductwork to remove accumulated dust in an
occupied home or remove construction dirt in a new home. The media air cleaner cannot remove dirt that
has settled in the blower compartment and distribution ducts.
STEP ONE: Review the Installation Plan
Temporarily place the cabinet on the oor, oriented as it will be when installed. Insert and remove the cartridge to
make sure the plan allows adequate clearance for easy removal and replacement of the cartridge.
STEP TWO: Fasten the Cabinet to the Furnace
a. Align the cabinet with the return air opening.
b. Place blocks under the cabinet, as necessary, to make sure the unit sits securely.
c. Create an opening in the furnace to match the cabinet opening.
d. Attach the cabinet securely to the furnace. Attach the unit directly or t a starting collar in the furnace opening.
Either drill holes and fasten with sheetmetal screws or rivets, or use slip joints. If you are drilling holes, use a
locking pliers to help hold the unit in place during drilling.
STEP THREE: Install Turning Vanes
Install turning vanes to help distribute air equally over the full surface of the upstream side of the media. Install
them whenever an abrupt 90 degree elbow is installed directly against the media air cleaner cabinet.
STEP FOUR: Fasten Cabinet to Ductwork
Fasten side of cabinet to the ductwork using sheet-metal screws, rivets, or slip joints, as appropriate.
STEP FIVE: Connect Ductwork
a. Connect the vertical duct section to the elbow. If the vertical drop of the duct is less than 7 in. (178 mm) from
the side of the furnace, shorten the horizontal trunk or attach an offset tting to the elbow.
b. When ductwork is properly aligned, connect the vertical duct to the horizontal trunk.
STEP SIX: Seal Joints
Seal all joints in the return air system between the media air lter and the furnace to prevent dust from entering
the clean airstream.
STEP SEVEN: Install Filter Cartridge
Slide the lter cartridge into the cabinet, making sure the arrow on the cartridge points in the direction of air ow.
Replace access door. Insert the tab on the bottom of the door into the slot in the cabinet. Swing the door closed
and press it into place.
Mounting the F100 Media Air Cleaner
F100 MediaAir Cleaner 68-0239EF—05 9

MOUNTING
Visually check the installation and make sure that:
• Airflow is in the direction of the arrow on the media air filter cartridge.
• Turning vanes and transitions, if used, are properly installed.
• Joints in sheetmetal between media air filter and furnace are sealed.
• All sheetmetal connections are complete.
• Original furnace filter has been removed and blower compartment is cleaned.
When you have veried that checkout has been completed:
• Replace any access doors removed during the Installation or Checkout.
• Run the furnace or cooling system through one complete cycle to make sure the system operates as desired.
The media lter must be replaced when pressure drop across the media lter reaches 0.5 in. w.c. (0.1 kPa), or at
least annually. If the media air cleaner is installed downstream from an atomizing humidier or if the installation
includes both heating and cooling, more frequent replacement may be necessary. Clogged media must be
replaced promptly to avoid restricting airow and reducing efciency of the heating/cooling system. Record the
replacement date in the space provided on the replacement media lter.

POUR
COMMENCER
Considérations relatives à l’application
L’épurateur d’air à bres F100 de Honeywell est conçu pour fonctionner avec les appareils de chauffage à gaz,
mazout, électrique et air pulsé et les systèmes de refroidissement par compresseur. Il peut aussi être utilisé
avec des thermopompes uniquement si le ltre est remplacé régulièrement pour éviter les chutes de pression
excessives. L’épurateur d’air à bres F100 n’est pas recommandé dans les applications pour lesquelles une chute
de pression peut avoir de graves conséquences.
Modèles
L’épurateur d’air à bres F100F inclut une armoire, une porte d’accès et un ltre à bres à plis. L’épurateur d’air à
bres F100B inclut une armoire et une porte d’accès.
Climatisation
Monter l’épurateur d’air à bres en amont du serpentin d’évaporation du système de refroidissement. Le ltre

Humidicateurs
L’épurateur d’air à bres est compatible avec les humidicateurs. Éviter les applications dans lesquelles de
la brume d’eau peut atteindre le ltre. Si un humidicateur à pulvérisation est utilisé, le ltre à bres doit être
remplacé plus souvent en raison des minéraux contenus dans l’eau.
Lampes UV
Les lampes UV germicides peuvent endommager le ltre à bres. Elles doivent être situées hors de l’axe directe
ou à un minimum de 3 pieds du ltre. Dans le cas contraire, le ltre doit être remplacé plus fréquemment.
Épurateur d’air à bres F100 68-0239EF—05 3

POUR
COMMENCER
Transitions
Pour un nettoyage de l’air optimal, le débit d’air doit
passer uniformément sur la face du ltre. Si la taille
de la gaine est différente de l’armoire du ltre à bres,
des transitions graduelles sont requises. Suivre ces
instructions lors de la fabrication :
• Utiliser des transitions graduelles pour réduire les
turbulences de l’air et augmenter l’efcacité.
• Utiliser des expansions de 20° maximum (environ
100 mm tous les 300 mm linéaires [4 po par pied de
longueur]) de chaque côté du raccord de transition.
Aubes directrices
Si l’épurateur d’air à bres est installé près d’un coude
ou d’un raccord à angle, ajouter des aubes directrices
dans le coude pour distributeur le débit de façon plus
uniforme sur la face du ltre. Voir la Fig. 12.
Tôle
L’épurateur d’air à bres peut être adapté à tous les
systèmes de chauffage et de refroidissement à air
pulsé neufs ou existants utilisés dans les applications
résidentielles. Des transitions ou des aubes directrices
peuvent être requises dans certaines applications pour
une épuration de l’air plus efcace.
Déviations
Si la connexion de la gaine à l’appareil de chauffage
dans une installation latérale alloue un espace inférieur
à 178 mm (7 po) pour le montage de l’armoire de
l’épurateur d’air à bres, attacher une déviation au
