Model 3000 Hybrid Electronic Air Cleaner Safety, Operating and Maintenance Instructions

READ AND SAVE THIS MANUAL

WARNING

120 Volts may cause serious injury from electrical shock. Disconnect power to the air cleaner before servicing.

Arcing in electrical components may cause an explosion. Do not install unit where explosive gasses will be present.

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

Do not plug any other device into the outlet in which the air cleaner is plugged. This is a current sensitive outlet. Damage to circuit components may occur if a device other than the air cleaner is operated from the air cleaner outlet.

PERFORMANCE

Air cleaners are effective only when air is circulated through them. The Model 3000 Hybrid Electronic Air Cleaner operates silently, removing a very high percentage of the pollutants from the circulated air while maintaining its level of efficiency with use. There is pollution in air everywhere – even in the air we normally consider to be fresh outdoor air. The infiltration of outside air into the home can be minimized by keeping doors and windows closed as much as possible, thereby increasing the indoor air quality.

You may have purchased your air cleaner for allergy relief. Allergy cases differ widely – and not even the Model 3000 Hybrid Electronic Air Cleaner is a sure cure for any allergy.

However, this air cleaner can be highly beneficial because it is over 98.5% efficient at removing particles the same size as allergy-causing pollen, fungus, mold, and spores (see Figure 1) from the air passing through it, which makes it the healthy choice for cleaner indoor air. It will also remove over 90% of particles the same size as many disease-causing airborne bacteria, and is 80% efficient at removing virus-size particles. These are typically about 1,000 times smaller than can be seen by the human eye.

The reduction of household dust, tobacco smoke particulate, and smudging particles may have been the motivating influence in your decision to have an air cleaner installed. The Model 3000 Hybrid Electronic Air Cleaner removes 86% of cigar and cigarette smoke particulate. Since this air cleaner reduces the amount of particles in the air, you can expect a reduction in the need for dusting and cleaning and a longer time interval between redecorating.

The efficiency of the Model 3000 Hybrid Electronic Air Cleaner on the smallest particle which can be seen with the naked eye (approximately 10 microns) is never less than 99%.

The visible household dust particles, and nearly all pollen and spore particles, therefore, can be caught and permanently and easily held once they get to the air cleaner.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE

The air movement function of a central air cleaner is performed with the blower of your heating/air conditioning system. Continuous air cleaning will be accomplished when your thermostat is set for continuous air circulation. If continuous air cleaning is not required, or desired, you can manually set your control for any time period you desire. Many thermostats have a switch position for manual fan. “Automatic” turns on the blower only when heating or cooling is required. “Fan” or “manual” allows you to control blower operation.

For those who choose periodic cleaning (as opposed to continuous cleaning through continuous furnace blower operation), the most important period is during – and for several hours after – vacuuming your home. The vacuuming process (unless you have a central vacuum system) stirs up a large volume of dust particles which must be drawn into your air cleaner.

Many of the dust particles generated while vacuuming are so heavy that they “fall” out of the airstream before they can be drawn out of your living area. This is why it is important to do household dusting several hours after vacuuming. Normally once the heavy particles “fall out,” they are only reintroduced to the air by vacuuming, or similar vigorous activity.
