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
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.
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.
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 Carbon Prefilter
and Carbon VOC After Filter) and heavy-duty odors
and
fumes
(with
Permanganate VOC Filter).
BENEFITS
Helps provide relief from allergies, asthma, and
other respiratory illness.
Helps reduce housekeeping time and redecorating
costs.
Provides
a
healthier,
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 12 inch intake duct on the top of the
unit and passes through a 3-stage filtration system.
The Activated Carbon Prefilter (1 inch pleated,
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 6 inch filter has more than 188 ft² of
collection surface area.
Air is then drawn through a Carbon VOC (Volatile
Organic
Compound)
and
unpleasant odors and gases, or an optional Carbon/
Potassium Permanganate VOC Filter to remove
noxious odors and fumes like formaldehyde, heptane,
tetrachloroethylene, toluene, etc. that are off-gased
from carpets, cabinets, furniture, paints, pesticides,
personal care products, cleaners, etc.
Clean air is discharged through an 8 inch duct, back
into the return air duct.
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.
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
36 inches in front of the unit to remove the filters for
cleaning or replacing.
GENERAL INSTALLATION STEPS
1. Remove plastic from filters before installing.
2. When the unit is shipped, the intake and exhaust
collars are reverse mounted to prevent damage in
shipping. The intake collar must be removed and
reattached with the collar ring facing out. The
exhaust collar can be mounted on either side of
the unit with the ring out. The opposite side will be
covered with the exhaust cover. This cover must
be installed for the unit to operate properly.
3. An inlet collar is provided on the unit to allow a
