Operating Instructions and Annual Check-up
Operating Instructions
It is recommended the unit run continuously to provide the full
benefits of particulate removal. Use the OFF/LOW/HIGH speed
selection switch to select high (150cfm) or low (75(cfm) speed.
Maintenance
Annual inspection is recommended for cleaning and replacement
of the Collectors/HEPA filter. Discard and replace the collectors
when required. Normally the primary collector is replaced
annually and the secondary collector is replaced every 3 years.
As each home differs in size, occupancy, location, infiltration rates
and homeowner needs, an estimation of when to change the
collectors is difficult.
The collectors will slide out. Some discoloration of the collector
medium can be expected. If loose dust falls from the collector, it is
time to replace it. Turn off the TFP, furnace fan and HRV. Open
the door and slide out the collectors to check buildup and do an
annual inspection of the overall unit. Before replacing any
collectors, vacuum any dust inside the cabinet or from the
surrounding area.
When replacing the collectors, make sure the directional arrows
are noted and the collectors are installed correctly. Close the door
and restart the TFP, furnace and HRV fan.
If your TFP is installed with a forced air heating system, you are
still required to use the recommended furnace filter. This may be a
good time to inspect this filter as well.
When new collectors are required, call your dealer.
