OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND ANNUAL CHECK-UP
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A lighted ON/OFF switch indicates that the unit is operating. It is recommended the unit run continuously to provide the full benefits of particulate removal from your home.
ANNUAL CHECK-UP
As each home has differences of size, occupancy, location, infiltration rates and homeowner needs, it is hard to estimate when the collectors will need to be changed.
The collectors will slide out. Some discolouration of the collector medium can be expected and when loose dust falls from the collector, it is time to replace it.

Turn the TFP, furnace fan and HRV off. Open the door and slide out the collectors to check buildup and do an annual inspection of overall unit. Before replacing any collectors, vacuum any dust inside the cabinet or surrounding area. When replacing the collectors,
make sure the directional arrows are noted and the collectors are installed correctly. Close the
door and restart TFP, furnace and HRV fan.
When your TFP is installed with a forced air heating system you are still required to use the recommended furnace filter. This may be a good time to inspect this filter as well.
When new collectors are required, call your Lifebreath dealer.
