What the Air Cleaner Does
This Clean Comfort™ brand AMHP HEPA air cleaner is
designed to be connected to the return air duct of your
central heang and cooling system. It draws in just a
poron of the total air ow, treang it and returning it
cleaned to the home’s ductwork.
Features and Benets
• Cered True HEPA (High-Eciency Parculate Air) lter is
up to 99.97% ecient at removing parcles down to
0.3 micron
• Acvated Carbon Prelter removes lint to prolong life of
HEPA Filter and helps remove unpleasant odors (such as
those from cooking, smoking or painng.
• Bypass installaon means these HEPA air cleaners do not
add stac pressure to the HVAC system
• Easy-to-change lters
• Powerful motor delivers 245 CFM of ltered air
• Plug-in power cord
• Versale installaon: free-standing, ceiling-mounted, or
wall-mounted
• Heavy-gauge steel cabinet provides rigid installaon and
durability
• Corrosion-resistant cabinet with powder-paint nish
• By removing parculates from the air, these air cleaners
also help protect and prolong the operang eciency of
the home’s heang and cooling equipment.
• Provides a more comfortable environment year-round.
How It Works
Return air ducts of heang and cooling systems carry airborne
parcles back to the heang and cooling equipment of the
home. Here the parcles can be captured by the air cleaner’s
HEPA lter.
This AMHP-245 air cleaner uses a mul-stage air treatment
process:
1. Preltraon, using an odor absorbing acvated carbon
VOC lter
2. High eciency HEPA ltraon, removing a minimum of
99.97% of all airborne parcles 0.3 microns and larger
3. Posiltraon treatment of odors and Volale Organic
Compounds (VOCs), using an oponal Carbon VOC
Aer Filter (purchased separately)
These two or three stages of treatment help ensure the air
your family breathes is fresh, clean and comfortable.
Although the AMHP-245 only treats a poron of your
home’s air at a me, on average it can treat all the air in a
2,000 square foot home in just over an hour of operaon
when running connuously on full speed.
The very large collecon surface area of the HEPA lter
(65 ²) ensures a long service life and should be changed
every two-to-three years, based on condions in the home.

Location
The HEPA air cleaner should be located as close to the
return air duct as possible. This allows for shorter lengths of
ducng, which helps keep the stac pressure lower. The unit
can be adapted to mount on a wall or be suspended from
the ceiling. Care should be taken to keep the unit away from
an area where there is a possibility of moisture leaking on it.
Ensure there are 36 inches in front of and above the unit to
allow for removing and replacing the lters.
Installation Steps
1. Remove any packaging or plasc from lters before
installing. See Maintenance secon for instrucons
to remove the lters. Cut wire es from lter hold-
down bar.
2. When the unit is shipped, the inlet and outlet collars
are reverse- mounted to prevent damage in shipping.
The collars must be removed and reaached with the
collar ring facing out.
3. An inlet collar is provided on the unit to accommo-
date a length of 8-inch exible duct connected to
the cold air return. The 8-inch inlet must be aached
to the cold air return duct at a locaon ahead of the
clean air outlet from the air cleaner.
4. A duct adapter and a length of 8-inch exible duct are
required to connect the 8-inch inlet collar to the cold
air return duct. When running the exible duct, make
sure that there are no kinks or sharp bends that will
impede the airow to the air cleaner. Secure and seal
all connecons to prevent air leakage.
5. A duct adapter and a length of 6 inch exible duct are
required to connect the outlet collar to the cold air
return of the HVAC system. The outlet exible duct
should be aached to the return air duct, close to
the furnace. The ideal locaon is low on the return
air boot poinng towards the furnace. To prevent air
shear inside the duct, it is recommended that you
install a deector inside the boot, so the discharged
air is deected down into the boot. When running
the exible duct, make sure that there are no kinks
or sharp bends that will impede the airow from the
unit. Secure and seal the hose and connecons to
prevent air leakage.
6. It is important to maintain some distance between
the inlet and the outlet connecons to the return
air duct. Failure to do this may result in short cycling
between the inlet and the clean air discharge. It is
recommended you leave at least 6 feet between the
inlet and the outlet connecons for the air cleaner to
work eecvely. If the distance is smaller than 6 feet,
it is important to install an air deector in the duct.
7. If outside air is introduced into the return air duct,
either through an HRV / ERV (Heat or Energy Recovery
Venlator) or by a direct venlaon duct, it should enter
the return duct upstream of the inlet to the air cleaner.
Operating Instructions
The HEPA air cleaner is designed to run connuously
to provide clean, ltered air 24 hours a day. The fan
on the heang/cooling system should be set to
‘connuous’ operaon.
Note: If the system fan is set to `automac’ operaon,
it is recommended the HEPA air cleaner be operated
through an air proving switch or relay to turn the air
cleaner OFF, when the system fan is not running.
The unit plugs into a regular 120 VAC outlet and is
controlled by a switch located on the rear panel,
near the power cord.
Note: Do not allow the cord to be placed where it may be
walked on, or allow anything to roll over it. The top cover
must be secured for the air cleaner to operate. All lters
must be in place for the unit to operate properly.
iCAUTION!
This unit must be installed on the return air side of the
system only. Do not connect to supply side.
Do not install in a cooking area or connect directly to
any appliance.
iCAUTION!
Never use the unit without all of the lters in place.

Maintenance
For ecient operaon, the lters must be changed on a
regular basis. Check the lters if you noce a reducon in
airow from the system.
1. To access the lters, turn the air cleaner OFF at the
switch and remove the front door.
2. Release the lter hold-down bar by pulling it forward
one side at a me.
3. Carefully remove lters to avoid spilling of collected
parculates. Dispose of lters in a plasc bag and
discard with regular household trash.
4. Remove plasc from new lters before installing.
Discard plasc safely. Take care not to damage
the lters.
5. Write the date on the replacement lter in the
space provided.
6. Place the Carbon VOC prelter around the HEPA lter
and secure with the Velcro provided.
7. Ensure the open end of the HEPA lter is toward
the motor.
8. Replace the lter hold-down bar by placing one side
under the bracket on the side of the cabinet. Once you
have one side started, force the bar under the bracket
on the other side of the cabinet. This insures the lter
has a good seal.
9. Use genuine replacement lters only. Contact your
HVAC service contractor for these parts.
iWARNING!
Make sure to turn the air cleaner OFF before performing
any maintenance or removing any components.
Replacement Parts
Note: When the lters are new, you may noce a new
smell from the system. This is normal and will dissipate
within a few hours.
Carbon VOC Prelter (Part #AMP-W3-0855):
Replace every three-to-six months, based on condions
in the home. If there are heavy odors in the home from
cooking, smoking, painng or other sources, the lter
may require changing more oen.
True HEPA Filter (Part #AMP-W3-0840):
Replace every two-to-three years, based on condions
in the home. The life of this lter depends on the
amount of parculates in the air and the frequency
with which the prelter has been changed. Renova-
ons in the home that create sawdust, drywall dust or
similar parculates will shorten the life expectancy of
the HEPA lter.
Note: NEVER aempt to extend the life of the HEPA
lter by vacuuming it.
Note: Handle the HEPA lter by the frame only.
The paper is fragile and a puncture or tear will
reduce eciency.
Carbon VOC After Filter (optional)
(Part #AMP-W3-0810):
This lter is posioned inside the HEPA lter, and
should be replaced every six-to-twelve months based
on condions in the home. If there are heavy odors
in the home from cooking, smoking, painng or other
sources, the lter may require changing more oen.
