electrical codes during installation. All wiring must conform
to local and national electrical codes. Improper wiring or
installation may damage Air Cleaner.
Understand the signal words WARNING and CAUTION
which are present in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING and CAUTION signifies a hazard which
could result in property damage, personal injury or death.
Installation and servicing of Electronic Air Cleaners
can be hazardous. Only trained and qualified service

safety codes. Wear safety glasses and work gloves.
WHAT THE ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER DOES
Your High Efficiency Electronic Air Cleaner has been
designed to remove atmospheric and household dust, coal
dust, insecticide dust, mites, pollen, mold spores, fungi,
bacteria, pet dander, cooking smoke and grease, tobacco
smoke particles, and more down to 0.01 micron (0.01
micron = 1/2,540,000 of an inch).
BENEFITS
Helps provide relief for allergy or asthma suffering.
Helps prevent damaging black dust from staining walls
and furnishings, reducing the amount of time and
money spent cleaning and redecorating.
Helps protect heating/cooling equipment, prolonging the
operating efficiency.
Improves indoor air quality for a healthier environment,
year-round.
DESCRIPTION
The Electronic Air Cleaner is approximately 29 x 22 x 7
inches (73.6 x 55.9 x 17.8 cm). The unit is designed to be
wall or ceiling mounted in the main return air duct of a
forced air system. The intake grille is hinged to allow easy
access to the collecting cells and prefilters. The unit is rated
up to 2000 CFM (3398 m
3
/hr).
HOW IT WORKS
The High Efficiency Electronic Air Cleaner operates on
the principle of electrostatic precipitation. Millions of
airborne pollutants are carried through the return air duct of
the heating/cooling system and treated through three stages
of filtration.
The prefilter removes all large visible particles such as
lint. Smaller particles then pass through to a two-stage
electrostatic collecting cell. First, particles are given a
powerful positive electrical charge by the ionizing wires.
IMPORTANT: Please read entire instructions before
installing, cleaning or repairing the Electronic Air Cleaner.
WARNING
Before beginning any installation or modification, be certain
that the main line electrical disconnect switch is in OFF
position. Electric shock could result. Tag disconnect switch
with suitable warning labels.
