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

CAUTION

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.

To prevent component failure, do not install the air cleaner on the warm air supply or in an area where the temperature may exceed 140°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 140°F [0°C and 60°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.

Do not plug the air cleaner into an outlet that is always live. The outlet must only be live when the furnace/air handler blower is operating. Failure to properly wire the outlet can result in excessive ozone production.
