SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
Read and follow instructions carefully. Follow all local
electrical codes during installation. All wiring must
conform to local and national electrical codes. Improper
wiring or installation may damage the HEPA Air
Cleaner.
Understand the signal words
WARNING
and
CAUTION
which are present in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
and
CAUTION
signify a hazard which could result in
property damage, personal injury or death.
Only a heating/air conditioning installer or qualified
service person should install, repair, or service your
Whole-House HEPA Air Cleaner.
Homeowners or untrained personnel can perform
the basic maintenance functions of replacing filters.
When working on air cleaning equipment, observe
precautions in the Owner’s Manual, labels attached
to the unit, and other safety precautions that may
apply. Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses
and work gloves.
WHAT THE HEPA AIR CLEANER DOES
The Whole-House HEPA Air Cleaner has been
designed to remove particulate such as atmospheric
and household dust, coal dust, insecticide dust, mites,
pollen, mold spores, fungi, bacteria, viruses, pet dander,
cooking smoke and grease, tobacco smoke and more.
It also removes odors with the Carbon Prefilter.
BENEFITS
•
Helps provide relief from allergies, asthma, and
other respiratory illness.
•
Helps reduce housekeeping time and redecorating
costs.
•
Provides a healthier, more comfortable
environment, year-round.
HOW IT WORKS
Millions of airborne pollutants are carried through the
return air ducts of the heating/cooling system. The
HEPA Air Cleaner has been designed to be ducted to
the return air duct. A portion of this return air is by-
passed through a 12 inch intake duct on the top of the
unit and passes through a 2-stage filtration system.
The Activated Carbon Prefilter (activated carbon
impregnated polyester filter) first removes lint and odors
before they enter the HEPA filter.
Smaller particles then pass through a long-life, True
HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) Filter which
captures 99.97% of particles 0.3 micron (1/84,000 of an
inch) and larger. This HEPA filter has more than 133 ft²
of collection surface area.
Clean air is discharged through an 8 inch duct, back into
the return air duct.
INSTALLATION
LOCATION
The HEPA Air Cleaner should be located as close to the
return air duct as possible. This allows for shorter
lengths of ducting which helps keep the static pressure
lower. The unit can be adapted to mount on a wall or be
suspended from the ceiling. Care should be taken to
keep the unit away from an area where there is a
possibility of moisture leaking on to it. Ensure there is 36
inches in front of the unit to remove the filters for
cleaning or replacing.
NOTE: If the unit is going to be mounted on it’s back
you must contact the distributor for special mounting kit.
GENERAL INSTALLATION STEPS
1. Remove any packaging or plastic from filters before
installing. See Maintenance for instructions to
remove the filters.
2. When the unit is shipped, the intake and exhaust
collars are reverse mounted to prevent damage in
shipping. The intake collar must be removed and
reattached with the collar ring facing out. The
exhaust collar can be mounted on one of three
sides of the unit with the ring out. The other two
sides will be covered with the exhaust covers.
These covers must be installed for the unit to
operate properly.
3. An inlet collar is provided on the unit to allow a
flexible 12 inch intake duct, from the cold air return,
to be attached. The 12 inch intake must be drawn
from the cold air return duct at a location that will be
ahead of the clean exhaust air, that will be returned
to the duct from the Air Cleaner.
WARNING
Before beginning any installation or modification, be
certain that the main line electrical disconnect switch is
in the
OFF
position. Electric shock could result. Tag
disconnect switch with suitable warning labels.
WARNING
This unit must be installed on the return air side of the
system only. Do not connect to supply side.
Do not install in a cooking area or connect directly to
any appliance.
