KN332852) and it does not seem to fit perfectly.Has anyone else experienced this?Also which way do you put it in (Ie which side up?)Your views would be appreciated.Thanx

One corner has a different ( larger ) curve and this must go to the top right of the filter box. As you place filter in the air box the flat side faces up and the side with v shaped gauze goes down. Hope this helps.

Took me about 15 minutes farting around to get them on the first time. It does get easier after you have it in for a while.

Mine went straight in with no problems. The clips can be hard to put back on but that's just haw they are, use a bit of force. 1 minute job!Good luck.
