•Looking directly at the UVC light may cause permanent eye damage or blindness.

•Never operate the UV-Aire Air Purifying System out of the plenum.

•Designed for a closed duct system. Do not mount near a supply or a return air opening.

•All duct openings in direct line of site of the UV light must be sealed with aluminum tape or equivalent sealing methods.

WARNING: UV light will break down plastic materials not rated for UV exposure:

(Examples: wire insulation, flex duct, drain pans and humidifiers)

•The unit must be mounted at least 30" from the above stated type of materials.

•If it is necessary to mount the unit in direct line of site of these types of materials, they must be shielded with aluminum foil, aluminum foil tape, or sheet metal.

WARNING: DO NOT mount this unit outdoors.

• This product is designed for indoor installation only (i.e. attics, crawl spaces, basements, etc.). WARNING: Never touch broken lamp or internal contents of lamp. The lamp contains mercury.

•After opening the carton, unpack and inspect the unit and lamp for damage. Do not install this unit if any damage is noticeable. If lamp is damaged, cracked or broken, do not touch lamp or other contents in carton. Close carton and return to seller immediately.

•In case of accidental exposure to internal contents of lamp, wash hands and any other affected

skin area with mild detergent. Remove affected clothing immediately. If skin surface is pierced, seek medical attention immediately.

NOTE: If you touch the glass of the lamp, you should wipe the glass clean with isopropyl alcohol and a lint free wipe. If the lamp is not cleaned, the film of hand oils causes a reduction in the light intensity. WARNING: Before installing or servicing a humidifier, air filter, HVAC system, or this unit, etc., always turn all power OFF and have unit unplugged. Electrical shock can cause personal injury or death. Never expose eyes or skin to direct UVC light from any source.

WARNING: To prevent water damage or electric shock, do not mount unit under a humidifier.
