Routine Maintenance
The Bionaire
®
Air Exchange System is easy to use and maintain. It includes filters that remove dust from air that is circulated through the system. These filters will need to be cleaned or replaced with use. The Service Indicator bar graph on the display (6) shows when service is needed. The Service Indicator bar graph decreases - and when the bars disappear, the filters need to be cleaned. The aver­age duration between cleanings is about three months. WARNING: Do not attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void the warranty. This unit contains no user serviceable parts. Only qualified personnel should perform servicing—other than what is described in this manual.
About the Filters
There are three black washable filters installed in the Air Exchange System. Each has a single tab that locks them into the unit. See Figure 18.
There is one two-tab filter installed in the Air Exchange System. This will either be a black washable filter or a white disposable Electrostatic filter. The Electrostatic filter removes smaller particles from the circulating air. See Figure 19.
PERFORMING MAINTENANCE
1. Confirm that the Service Indicator
bars (6) no longer illuminate and the word "SERVICE" displays. This signals that maintenance is required.
2. Turn off and unplug the unit.
3. Remove the Air Exchange System
from the Window Sealing Frame: See Figure 20.
Grasp each side of the Air Exchange System and gently pull it toward you.
Place the unit on a clean, level surface.
4. Remove the front grill. See Figure 21.
5. To remove the rear grill: See Figure 22.
Put the unit with the face
down on the surface.
Place your thumb under
the opening in the rear grill and pull up. One side of the grill will lift up and you will be able to slide the grill out.
6. Remove the black filters from openings #2, #3, and #4. Gently wash these filters with mild soapy water. Rinse in warm running water. Shake off excess water and allow to air dry completely. See Figure 23.
7. Remove the filter from opening #1. If it is a white electrostatic filter, dis­card it and replace with a fresh fil­ter. Call 1 (800) 253-2764 to order replacement filters. See Figur e 24.

6.Next you must customize the Plastic Extender Panels so that the Window Sealing Frame will fit securely in your window. Each Plastic Extender Panel is divided into segments stamped with measurements between 26 to 38 inches. These measurements represent the total inside measurement, in inches, of various sized windows. See Figure 7. CAUTION: Once you have removed segments from the Plastic Extender Panels, the frame will only fit in windows equal to or less than the width you have selected.
7.Use the black marker to mark the number on each Plastic Extender Panel that is closest to (but not greater than), the measurement you recorded in Step 1. For example, if your win­dow is 33 inches wide, mark the number 32. See Figure 8.
8.Snap off each segment of the front of the Plastic Extender Panel with a higher number than you marked. If you marked 32 in step 8, you only will remove the segments for 38, 36 and 34 and three segments from the back of the Plastic Extender Panel. Use a forward and backward motion to remove the excess sections along the scored indications. See Figure 9. Remove the same number of segments from the back of the Plastic Extender Panel.
9.Repeat this process on the other Plastic Extender Panel.
10.Install the Foam Insulation Blocks into the Plastic Extender Panels. Note that the Foam Insulation Blocks are divided into vertical segments of various widths. The foam is installed with these segments oriented vertically. See Figure 10A. Insert a Foam Insulation Block into the right Plastic Extender Panel. For proper fit, the foam should be only slightly wider than the Plastic Extender Panel. If the foam is the exact size, rotate the foam block to utilize the half-size foam block on the opposite side. Reinstall the foam into the Plastic Extender Panel. See Figure 10B.

Use an adapter (C) (not included) for connecting three-blade grounding -type plugs to two-slot recep­tacles (B). The green grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS PLUG IN ANY WAY.
CORD AND PLUG INSTALLATION SAFETY NSTRUCTIONS
The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the product. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape on obstacles where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

INST ALLATION
You must install the W indow Sealing Frame into the track for your lower window sash before loading the Air Exchange System into the Window Sealing Frame.
1.Measure the frametrack for your lower window sash, at its widest point. See Figure 3. Write your measurement here:____________ You may close the window temporarily.
2.If your window has a screen or storm window, measure the dis­tance between the front of the window (the side facing inside) to the screen or storm window. If that measurement is less than five (5) inches, you will need to remove the screen or storm win­dow before you can install the Window Sealing Frame.
3.Place the Window Sealing Frame on a flat surface, rim-side up, with the locking clamp away from you. See Figure 4.
4.Place the Plastic Extender Panel stamped LEFT, on the left side of the Window Sealing Frame and the Plastic Extender Panel stamped RIGHT on the right side. See Figure 5.
5.Slide the Plastic Extender Panels down into the guides on the sides of the Window Sealing Frame and press down gently until the Plastic Extender Panels click into place. See Figure 6.
11.Remove the excess foam segments at the seam. Save the extra segments. They can be used to fill any gaps in the window seal.
12.Repeat the process for the other Plastic Extender Panel.
13.Hold the Window Sealing Frame so the rim-side of the assembly is facing outside and the locking clamp is on top. See Figure 11.
14.Insert the right side of the Window Sealing Frame into the window frame and into the win­dow track. See Figure 12.
15.Firmly push the left side of the Window Sealing Frame into the window frame and into the win­dow track. See Figure 13. Then, gently press the Window Sealing Frame down so that it is seated in the window.
16.Close the window. Make sure the bottom edge of the window sash is resting on the foam strip, sealing any gaps around the Window Sealing Frame.
17.Tighten the locking screw using a Phillips head screwdriver. Be careful to not over tighten. See Figure 14.
18.Install the appropriate window sill J- Hooks into the Window Sealing Frame. (See the parts list.) Slide the J-Hook until it is firmly seated against the mold­ing. See Figure 15. NOTE: These hooks may not fit some older window moldings.
19.Install the Sash Insulation Strip as shown in Figure 16.
20.Before installing the Air Exchange Unit, verify that: a) All foam strips are in place
and that there are no visible gaps.
b) The window sash is firmly
closed against the foam strip on top of the Window Sealing Frame.
c) The locking clamp tightly
grips the window sash. d) The foam blocks are tightly sealed against the window frame. e) If used, the window sill J-Hooks are secured to the window
sill.
f) Sash Insulation strip is in place.
g) Use the extra foam strips or segments to fill in any visible gaps.
21.Slide the Air Exchange Unit into the Window Sealing Frame and push until it locks (clicks) into place.
22.For maximum efficiency, you will need to know the size of the room in square feet. (Measure room length and width in feet and multiply. Length X Width=Room Size in Sq. Ft.)
Write room size here: ________________SQ. FT
If additional Plastic Extender Panels and Foam blocks are needed, contact Consumer Service 1- 800-253-2764.
