Default Should a new air filter be washed before installing it?

I just bought a new fsport drop in air filter. I noticed that some of the fibers were loosly dangling from the filter material. They are on the side that goes into the airbox, so the engine will definitely suck them in when the car will be running. What do you guys think?

Should I wash and dry them before installing? Or just install it and forget?
