Installation Instructions
WARNING
120 Volts may cause serious injury from electrical shock.
Disconnect power to the furnace/air handler before
starting installation. Leave power disconnected until
installation is completed.
Arcing in electrical components may cause an explosion.
Do not install unit where explosive gasses will be present.
Sharp edges may cause injury from cuts. Use care when
cutting and handling sheet metal.
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, locate product
so that the power cord can be plugged into an electrical
outlet without the use of an extension cord.
CAUTION
To prevent component failure, 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.
The air cleaner must be installed where the ambient
air temperature remains between 32°F and 140°F
[0°C and 60°C].
Installation must conform to all applicable codes.
Do not install an atomizing humidifier upstream of the
air cleaner. Water or mist will cause power supply to
shut down.
Do not plug the air cleaner into an outlet that is always
live. The outlet must only be live when the furnace/air
handler blower is operating. Failure to properly wire
the outlet can result in excessive ozone production.
Read the safety and installation instructions carefully. They will help ensure a correct and SAFE installation of the
