Amaircare 3500 - Manual (Page 2)

Thank you for purchasing an Amaircare® portable air filtration system.
With proper care and maintenance, your Amaircare® system will provide
many years of reliable service, improving the quality of your air.
INSTALLATION
1. Place the unit in the area where you want the cleanest air.
2. Plug the unit into a live grounded outlet. The cord has either a 110V
plug for 110 volt operation or a 220V plug for 220 volt operation
depending on the area in which the unit was sold.
3. Turn the unit on by rotating the control dial clockwise until you hear or
feel it click. The unit will start on the “LOW” position. To increase the air
flow continue to rotate the control dial clockwise.
4. To turn the unit off, rotate the control dial counter-clockwise until you
hear of feel it click into the “OFF” position
CAUTION
1. Make sure the cord is not in the path of people walking or where
anything can be rolled over it.
2. Do not place any objects on top of the unit or allow anyone to sit on it.
3. NEVER place any liquids or plants on the unit. Moisture could leak into
the unit and damage the filter media or electrical components.
4. The air filtration system discharges the cleaned air through the vent
at the bottom rear of the unit. On “HIGH” the velocity of the
air coming out is high to enhance circulation throughout the area
being cleaned. If the airflow is bothersome or creates a draft, turn the
unit until the air is directed toward an unoccupied area of the room.
NOTE: You may notice a slight “new” smell from the unit when your first
turn it on. This is normal and harmless and will dissipate within a few days.
Removing the Filter Assembly
1. Turn the switch to the ‘off’ position
and unplug the power cord from outlet.
2. Place the unit on a soft surface
3. This step requires a friend’s assistance
Have someone hold the motor assembly
stationary while you twist the filter
assembly counter-clockwise to release it,
then lift to remove.
4. Remove the foam ‘0’-ring and put it in
a place where it will not be damaged or
lost. It will be needed during re-assembly.
Replacing the Foam Pre-Filter
1. Place the filter assembly upside down
on a soft surface
2. Gently pull the foam pre-filter upwards
to remove it from the assembly.
3. To replace with a new or washed*
pre-filter, carefully spread the foam filter
around the outer edges of the filter
assembly and gently pull it down to it’s
original position (covering the exposed
steel mesh)
* In order to increase filter life, foam pre-
filters may be hand washed, allowed to
dry, and re-used. Over time and
increased washings the filter will eventu-
ally need to be replaced.
Replacing the Inner Blanket
Caution: When completing the follow-
ing steps, please use extreme care not
to inflict pressure on the underlying HEPA
filter when replacing the Inner Blanket
1. Look inside the Filter Assembly to
locate an end of the Inner Blanket.
2. Without applying pressure directly on
the HEPA filter located behind the Inner
Blanket, fold the ends of the old Inner
Blanket in and remove it from the unit.
3. Insert the new Inner Blanket inside the
HEPA Cartridge with the edges over-
lapped by at least one inch. Once it is
in position gently spread the Inner Blan-
ket against the HEPA filter until the two
ends of the blanket meet.
Hepa Cartridge Replacement
1. Remove and carefully discard the old
HEPA Cartridge. (Filter Assembly)
2. Install the new HEPA Cartridge. (Filter
Assembly) see: ‘Re-Assembling the Unit’
Re-Assembling the Unit
1. Gently place the motor assembly on
a soft surface
2. Place the foam ‘O’-ring onto the
Motor Assembly (if a new foam ‘O’-ring
is available, use it in place of the old
one)
3. This step requires a friend’s assistance
While a friend support the Motor Assem-
bly, place the Filter Assembly on top of
the Motor Assembly and firmly twist the
Filter Assembly clockwise until both
assemblies are locked together.
Your unit is now ready for use.
