Introduction
This instruction manual provides essential information for the proper use, installation, and maintenance of your Fujitsu General K9316474017 UTR-FC03-2 and UTR-FC03-3 Air Conditioner Filters. These filters are designed to enhance air quality and maintain the efficiency of compatible Fujitsu mini-split units. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and keep it for future reference.
Product Overview
The Fujitsu General K9316474017 filter set includes two types of filters designed to improve indoor air quality:
Apple-Catechin Filter
This filter utilizes static electricity to absorb dust, mold spores, and microorganisms. The growth of these particles is inhibited and deactivated, contributing to cleaner air.
Long-life Ion Deodorization Filter
This filter works by powerfully decomposing absorbed odors. It uses the oxidizing and reducing effects of ions generated by ultra-fine particle ceramic technology, providing a deodorizing effect.

Installation Instructions
Follow these general steps to install the filters in your compatible Fujitsu mini-split unit. Always refer to your specific air conditioner's owner's manual for detailed instructions and safety precautions.
- Power Off: Before beginning any maintenance or installation, ensure the air conditioner unit is completely powered off at the circuit breaker to prevent electrical shock.
- Access Filter Compartment: Open the front panel of your indoor mini-split unit. The method for opening may vary by model; typically, there are latches or clips to release.
- Remove Existing Filters: Carefully slide out the old filters. Note their orientation to ensure correct installation of the new filters.
- Insert New Filters: Place the new Fujitsu General K9316474017 (UTR-FC03-2 / UTR-FC03-3) filters into the designated slots. Ensure they are seated properly and securely. The filters are designed to fit snugly; do not force them.
- Close Panel: Close the front panel of the indoor unit, ensuring it latches securely.
- Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.
Important Safety Note: If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified HVAC technician.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your air filters is crucial for maintaining air quality and the efficiency of your Fujitsu mini-split unit.
- Inspection: Inspect the filters monthly, especially during periods of heavy use.
- Cleaning: The UTR-FC03-2 and UTR-FC03-3 filters are generally designed for replacement rather than extensive cleaning. Light dust can sometimes be gently vacuumed off, but avoid washing these specific types of filters as it may damage their specialized properties (Apple-Catechin, Ion Deodorization).
- Replacement: Replace the filters every 3 to 6 months, or more frequently if your unit is used heavily, if you have pets, or if there are high levels of dust or allergens in your environment. A noticeable decrease in airflow or an increase in odors from the unit may indicate it's time for replacement.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If you encounter issues after filter installation, consider the following:
- Reduced Airflow:
- Ensure filters are installed correctly and not obstructed.
- Check if the filters are excessively dirty and require replacement.
- Verify that the filters are the correct size and model for your unit. Incorrectly sized filters can impede airflow.
- Unusual Odors:
- If odors persist after installing new deodorizing filters, ensure the filters are genuine Fujitsu parts and correctly installed.
- Consider if other parts of the AC unit (e.g., evaporator coil, drain pan) require cleaning by a professional.
- Filter Not Fitting:
- Double-check the dimensions of the filter (10.7" x 1.7") against your unit's requirements.
- Confirm that the model number K9316474017 (UTR-FC03-2 / UTR-FC03-3) is listed as compatible with your specific Fujitsu mini-split unit.
- Ensure no debris is obstructing the filter slots.
For persistent issues, contact Fujitsu General customer support or a certified HVAC technician.
