SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read the safety and installation instructions carefully. They will help ensure a correct and

SAFE installation of the Aprilaire

Electronic Air Cleaner.

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 149° 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 149° F [0° C and 65° 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.
