SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
• ATTENTION INSTALLER: Read this manual before installing.
Improper installation or maintenance may cause
property damage or injury. It is recommended that
installation, service, and maintenance be performed by a
trained service technician. This product must be installed
in compliance with all local, state, and federal codes.
• ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD: 120 volts may cause serious injury
from electric shock. Disconnect electrical power to the HVAC
system before starting installation or servicing. Leave power
disconnected until installation/service is completed.
• Arcing in electrical components may cause an explosion.
Do not install unit where explosive gases will be present.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this equipment has
a grounding-type (three prong) plug. This plug will fit only
into a grounding-type power outlet. If the plug does not
fit into the outlet, contact qualified personnel to install the
proper outlet. Do not alter this plug in any way.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, position the product
so that the power cord can be plugged into an electrical
outlet without the use of an extension cord.
CAUTION
• SHARP EDGES MAY CAUSE INJURY FROM CUTS. Use care
when cutting plenum openings and handling ductwork.
Always wear glasses/goggles and gloves when installing
the unit.
• DO NOT PLUG THE AIR CLEANER INTO AN OUTLET THAT IS
ALWAYS LIVE. The outlet must only be live when the HVAC
system fan is operating. Failure to properly wire the outlet
can result in excessive ozone production.
• Dropping may cause personal injury or equipment damage.
Handle with care and follow installation instructions.
NOTICE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE MAY OCCUR IF INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT FOLLOWED.
• Do not install the air cleaner on the warm air supply or in an
area where the temperature may exceed 140°F. This may
include areas above heat exchangers in downflow furnaces
or above exhaust flues in lowboy furnace cold air returns.
• Do not install air cleaner downstream of a UV light. UV
lamps will cause degradation of the air filter media.
• The air cleaner must be installed where the ambient air
temperature remains between 32°F and 140°F (0°C and
60°C).
• Do not install an atomizing humidifier upstream of the air
cleaner. Water or mist will cause the power supply to shut
down.
• Do not plug any other device into the outlet in which the
air cleaner is plugged. This is a current sensitive outlet.
Damage to circuit components may occur if a device other
than the air cleaner is operated from the air cleaner outlet.
