HOW TO REPLACE THE UV LAMPS
The #1 and #2 UV LEDs on the control panel indicate when it is time to replace the
lamps or when a lamp is not lit. We recommend replacing the UV lights once per year,
but they may last up to 2-3 years before going out. After year 1, there is a steady
decrease in the UV lamps efficiency over time.
To replace the lamps, unplug
the unit and remove the back
panel by loosening the
thumbscrews. Once the back
panel is off, remove the lamps
by grasping the plastic end of
the UV lamp assembly and
gently pull the lamp towards
you.
Dispose of the UV lamps as per
local codes, as the UV lamps
contain small amount of
Mercury. After removing the
new UV lamps from their packaging wearing gloves, gently insert the replacement
lamps into the lamp holders until they snap into place.
It may be beneficial to wear protective gloves during this procedure, as gloves will
ensure oils from your skin will not decrease the efficiency of the lamps.
WARNING:
The UV-C lamps are rated at 254nm and should not be looked at directly
with the naked eye. Do not defeat the interlock and energize the unit with the back
panel removed. Severe eye injury will occur.
CLEAN AND INSPECT
When you have the back panel off for maintenance, consider a
“clean and inspection”
event where you remove all the filters (using gloves and a mask) and use a vacuum
with soft bristle brush to remove any large particles or dust. Inspect the fan impeller and
remove any debris. Do not oil the fan as it is sealed and self-oiling. This American
made all-steel air purifier will last for generations if you keep it clean and replace the
filters as required.
