discharged air is deflected down into the boot. The
small angle edge of the deflector should be
located just above the 8 inch discharge hole with
the large metal surface pointing down at a 45
degree angle. The deflector should be centered
over the opening of the discharge take-off.
Partially remove the top centre screw in the take-
off adaptor. Hold the deflector inside the duct with
the centre hole lining up to the partially installed
screw on the take-off. Complete the installation of
the screw ensuring it secures the deflector to the
inside of the duct. Install two more screws, 3
inches to each side of the centre screw. Hold the
deflector so the screw can drill into the deflector
when installing the screws.
Place the flex duct over the take-off ring on the
duct and secure with four screws. Run the flex
hose to the exhaust collar at the bottom of the
HEPA unit. When running the hose, make sure
that there are no kinks or sharp bends that will
impede the air flow to the unit. Secure the flex duct
to the exhaust ring with four screws. Seal the flex
duct to both rings with aluminum tape.
5. Install the carbon and VOC filters on the HEPA filter.
See Maintenance for instructions to install the filters.
Replace the filter in the unit and replace the cover.
Latch securely in place.
6. Ensure there are no tools or parts in the blower
section of the unit. Plug unit in and test.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The HEPA Air Cleaner is designed to run continuously to
provide clean, filtered air 24 hours a day. The fan on the
heating/cooling system, to which the HEPA Air Cleaner
is dependent on for circulated air, should be on
‘continuous’.
Note:
If the system fan setting is on ‘automatic’, it is
recommended the HEPA Air Cleaner be operated
through an air switch or relay to turn the Air Cleaner off,
when there is no system fan on.
The unit plugs into a regular 120 volt outlet and is
controlled by a switch located on the rear panel, near the
cord.
Note:
Do not allow the cord to be placed where it may
be walked on or allow anything to roll over it.
The top cover must be secured for the Air Cleaner to
operate. All filters must be in place for the unit to operate
properly.
MAINTENANCE
For efficient operation, the filters must be changed on a
regular basis. If you notice a reduction in air flow from
the system, check the filters.
1. To access the filters, turn the Air Cleaner
OFF
at the
switch and remove the top cover.
2. Carefully remove the filters to avoid spilling of
collected contaminants. Dispose of filters in a plastic
bag and discard with regular household trash.
3. Remove plastic from the new filters before installing.
Discard plastic safely. Take care not to damage the
filters.
4. Date the replacement HEPA filter in the space
provided.
5. Place the Carbon prefilter around the outside of the
HEPA filter and secure with the Velcro strips.
6. Place the Carbon VOC After filter inside the
perimeter of the filter.
7. Place the HEPA filter into the cabinet insuring the
open end of the filter is toward the motor.
8. Replace the filter hold down bar.
9. Replace the cover of the unit and secure with the
locking fasteners.
10. Use genuine replacement filters only.
Note:
When the filters are new, you may notice a new
smell from the system. This is normal and will dissipate
within a few hourss.
Carbon Prefilter (Part #W4-0855):
This must be
replaced every 3 - 6 months and may be vacuumed
between changes. Use a soft brush attachment when
cleaning. If there are heavy odours in the home from
cooking, smoking, painting or other sources, the filter will
require changing more often.
True HEPA Filter (Part #W4-0840):
Replace every 2-3
years. The life of this filter depends on the amount of
contaminants in the air and the frequency in which the
prefilter has been changed. Renovations in the home
that create wood or drywall dust or similar contaminants
will shorten the life expectancy of the HEPA filter. To
improve airflow, the HEPA filter can be vacuumed
between changes, preferably outdoors. Use a soft brush
attachment for vacuuming this filter.
Note:
Handle the HEPA filter by the frame only. The
paper is fragile and a puncture or tear will reduce
efficiency.
VOC AFTER Filter (Part #W4-0810):
:
This filter is
positioned inside the HEPA filter, and must be replaced
every 6-12 months. If there are heavy odours in the
home from cooking, smoking, painting or other sources,
the filter may require changing more often.
CAUTION
Make sure to turn Air Cleaner
OFF
before performing
any maintenance or removing any components.
WARNING
Never use the unit without all of the filters in place.
