INSTALLATION
Energy Star Home Certification
If installing the media air cleaner into an application
that is going to have the ducts leakage tested
for compliance with 2011 Energy Star Home
Certification, Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM),
or Energy Improvement Mortgage (EMI) rating
requirements, then cut the provided roll of gasket
material to length and apply to the inner door flanges
that meet up with the front access panel of the media
air cleaner to reduce the air leakage between the
door and the air cleaner.
More information about the Energy Star Home
Certification, EEM, and EMI requirements can be

Installing the Filter media
The arrow on the filter media must point in the
direction of the air flow. If the media cabinet is
installed in the return air side of the duct work,
the arrow will typically point toward the blower
compartment.
