EPLACING THE
A set of fans mounted in the lower front of the library pull cool air into the
library and circulate it to maintain the temperature within an acceptable
range. The air filter ensures that the air pulled into the library is free of
contaminants. A clogged air filter can cause operational problems due to
excessive temperatures inside the library.
You should inspect the filter at least once every three months for
preventive maintenance. If the air filter is clogged, replace it immediately.
Some environments may require more frequent filter inspection and replacement.
Caution
If an air filter gets clogged quickly, consider moving the library to a more dust-free
location or improve the environment where it is located.
