WHAT THE HEPA AIR CLEANER DOES
The Console True HEPA Air Cleaner On Castors
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 and the Carbon
VOC After Filter.
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 to the
Air Cleaner by a powerful German motor where
they pass through the side Intake Grills, through
to a 3-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 100 ft² of collection surface area.
The filtered air passes through a Carbon VOC
After Filter to further remove odors.
Clean air is discharged out the back Exhaust Grill,
never blowing directly on room occupants.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Remove the Air Cleaner from the box. If your unit
has any signs of damage, immediately contact the
Dealer where the Air Cleaner was purchased.
Keep the shipping carton and packaging in case
the need arises to store or transport the unit.
Remove all packaging from the unit. Castors are
packaged on top of the Air Cleaner. Open top
cover, by either unlatching the catches or
removing the two screws from lid (non-tamperable
model). Remove castors, and screw in casters on
bottom of unit. See Maintenance for installation of
filters.
Choose a suitable location to allow unobstructed
circulation from the sides and back of the unit. If
unit has to be placed against a wall, allow at least
6-8 inches (15-20 cm) for circulation.
The Air Cleaner plugs into a regular outlet at the
voltage shown on rating label.
The Control Switch for the Air Cleaner is located
on the rear of the unit. To turn the Air Cleaner on,
rotate the Control Switch knob clockwise. This
controls the power to the Fan. When the Control
Switch is turned just past the click position, the
fan is on high speed. Rotating the Control Switch
completely clockwise reduces the fan speed to it’s
lowest setting.
The Air Cleaner is designed to run continuously
to provide clean, filtered air 24 hours a day.
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 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 Air Cleaner.
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 hours.
The outside of cabinet and grills can be cleaned
with a damp cloth.
Carbon Prefilter (Part #W4-0855): This must be
replaced every 3 - 6 months. If there are heavy
odors from cooking, smoking, painting or other
sources, the filter will require changing more
often.
CAUTION
When replacing the filters wear disposable gloves
and a dust mask.
CAUTION
Make sure to turn Air Cleaner OFF before
performing any maintenance or replacing any
filters.
