OWNER’S MANUAL

OPERATION

Thank you for purchasing this Aprilaire air cleaner. With this purchase you have invested in the highest quality equipment currently available.

The only time the air cleaner will remove contaminants from the air is when the blower in your heating and cooling system is operating. Following are a few suggestions you may consider in regard to how you want to clean the air in your home.

Continuous Air Cleaner Operation: By setting the fan setting on your thermostat to “Fan-On” the blower in the heating and cooling system will operate continuously. This will give you the best filtration of the air in the home by making sure the air in the home is circulated through the air cleaner.

Intermittent Air Cleaner Operation: By setting the fan setting on your thermostat to the “Fan-Auto” setting the blower in your heating and cooling system will only operate during those times when you are heating or cooling the home.

Air Cleaner Operation Based on Activity: There may be times when the air in your home has more contaminants generated than normal. For instance, when vacuuming or dusting you may consider operating the heating and cooling blower continuously during and after the vacuuming and dusting take place. This can be accomplished by switching the fan setting on the thermostat to the “Fan-On” setting.

For Allergy Relief: If allergy symptoms exist for anyone in your home, we recommend Continuous Air Cleaner Operation. Also there is an “upgrade kit” available for your air cleaner to enable it to remove a higher percentage of pollen and spores normally associated with allergy discomfort. Contact your Aprilaire contractor to discuss this option.

MAINTENANCE

The Aprilaire Air Cleaner requires no electrical component service, and is not affected by relative humidity or temperature. The only maintenance required is the periodic replacement of the disposable Aprilaire filter cartridge which you can do in a few minutes. The frequency of replacement will vary with blower operation and the amount of pollutants in the home. Pollutants in the home are affected by: the number of people and their activities, the amount of carpeting, pets, size of the home, the number of smokers and the pollution level of the outdoor environment. We recommend replacing the filter cartridge every 6 to 12 months. Air conditioning systems larger than 3.5 tons, or heating systems larger than 130,000 BTU’s per hour (1400 cfm), will require more frequent attention if operated continuously.

This system is ideal for families looking to improve their indoor air quality by reducing allergens and particulate matter.

This not only ensures you won’t be changing filters as often but also reflects a cost-effective solution for homeowners. The convenience of reduced maintenance allows families to focus on enjoying their space rather than keeping up with air quality tasks.
