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 8 inch intake duct on 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, 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 65 ft² of
collection surface area.
Clean air is discharged through a 6 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
24-36 inches above the unit to remove the filters for
cleaning or replacing.
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. Both collars must be removed and
reattached with the collar ring facing out.
3. An inlet collar is provided on the unit to allow a
flexible 8 inch intake duct, from the cold air return,
to be attached. The 8 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.
4. A duct adapter and a length of 8 inch flexible hose
or duct is required to attach between the 8 inch
intake collar and the existing cold air return duct.
When running the hose, make sure that there are
no kinks or sharp bends that will impede the air
flow to the unit. Secure and seal the hose and
connections to prevent air leakage.
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.
