SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
1. The Air Cleaner is equipped with a grounded plug.
Do not defeat the purpose of this plug by removing
the grounding pin, as this may result in an
electrical shock or create an unsafe condition.
2. When the power cord or plug is damaged or
frayed, unplug the Air Cleaner from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
3. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords,
as this can result in fire or electric shock.
4. Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the
power cord, and do not place the unit where power
cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result
in a shock or fire hazard.
5. Do not attempt to service the Air Cleaner yourself
as opening or removing motor cover may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer
all servicing to qualified personnel.
6. If the Air Cleaner has been dropped or the cabinet
has been damaged, unplug the unit from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.
7. Unplug the Air Cleaner from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners on cabinet.
8. Do not use the Air Cleaner near water, i.e. near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a
wet basement, in the rain or near a swimming pool,
etc.
If liquid has been spilled into the Air Cleaner,
unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel.
9. The Air Cleaner has slots or openings in the
cabinet for ventilation purposes, to provide reliable
operation of the unit, and to protect it from
overheating. These openings must not be blocked
or covered.
10. The Air Cleaner should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the rating label.
If you are not sure of the type of power supply at
your location, consult your local power company.
11. If the Air Cleaner does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions, unplug the unit
from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel.
WHAT THE HEPA AIR CLEANER DOES
The Mobile HEPA Air Cleaner has been designed to
remove particulate such as atmospheric dust, coal
dust, insecticide dust, mites, pollen, mold spores, fungi,
bacteria, viruses, pet dander, cooking smoke and
grease, tobacco smoke and more. It also removes
odors (with Carbon Prefilter and Carbon VOC After
Filter) and heavy-duty odors and fumes (with optional
Carbon/Potassium Permanganate VOC Filter).
BENEFITS
Helps provide a healthier, more comfortable
environment in the most demanding environments.
Helps provide relief from allergies, asthma, and
other respiratory illness.
Helps reduce housekeeping time and redecorating
costs.
HOW IT WORKS
Air is drawn in through the top of the unit to the
Activated Carbon Prefilter (1 inch pleated, activated
carbon impregnated polyester filter) which removes lint
and odors before they enter the HEPA filter.
Smaller particles then pass through a long-life, HEPA
(High Efficiency Particulate Air) Filter which captures
99.97% of particles 0.3 micron (1/84,000 of an inch)
and larger. This 6 inch filter has more than 188 ft² of
collection surface area.
Air is then drawn through a Carbon VOC (Volatile
Organic Compound) Filter (2 inch) to remove
unpleasant odors and gases, or an optional Carbon/
Potassium Permanganate VOC Filter to remove
noxious odors and fumes like formaldehyde, heptane,
tetrachloroethylene, toluene, etc. that are off-gased
from carpets, cabinets, furniture, paints, pesticides,
personal care products, cleaners, etc.
Clean air is discharged from two sides of the unit.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the Air Cleaner from the box by opening
the top, tipping the box on its side and sliding the
unit out. If your unit has any signs of damage
caused in transit, immediately contact the store
where the Air Cleaner was purchased.
2. Remove all packaging from the unit. Keep the
shipping carton and packaging in case the need
arises to store or transport the unit.
3. Tip unit on its side and install casters on bottom of
unit.
4. Install handle on unit with the screws provided.
5. Choose a suitable location on the floor that allows
unobstructed circulation from the top and both
sides of the Air Cleaner.
6. The unit plugs into a regular 120 volt outlet and is
controlled by two switches located on the rear
panel, near the cord. The system switch turns the
unit ON/OFF, while the speed switch controls the
motor speed.
7. The door must be secured for the Air Cleaner to
operate, as the door is interlocked for safety. All
filters must be in place for the unit to operate
properly.
WARNING
Never use the unit without all of the filters in place.

MAINTENANCE
For efficient operation, the filters must be changed on a
regular basis. If you notice a reduction in air flow from
the system, check the filters.
1. To access the filters, turn the Air Cleaner OFF at
the switch and remove the front door.
2. Carefully remove filters to avoid spilling of collected
contaminants. Dispose filters in a plastic bag and
discard with regular trash.
3. Remove plastic from new filters before installing.
Discard plastic safely. Take care not to damage the
filters.
4. Date the replacement filters in the space provided.
5. Ensure that the direction arrow on filter is pointing
toward the fan blade.
6. Use genuine replacement filters only. Call the
original installer for parts.
Note: When the filters are new, you may notice a new
smell from the system. This is normal and will dissipate
within a few days.
Carbon Prefilter (Part #W5-0810):This must be
replaced every 3 - 6 months and may be vacuumed
between changes. Use a soft brush attachment when
cleaning.
True HEPA Filter (Part #W5-0860-3):Replace every
3-5 years. The life of this filter depends on the amount
of contaminants in the air and the frequency in which
the prefilter has been changed. Renovations in the
home that create wood, drywall dust or similar
contaminants will shorten the life expectancy of the
HEPA filter.
Note: Handle the HEPA filter by the frame only. The
paper is fragile and a puncture or tear will reduce the
efficiency.
VOC After Filters: The 2 inch standard or heavy-duty
optional upgrade filters must be replaced every 6 - 12
months. If there are heavy odors from cooking,
smoking, painting or other sources, the filter may
require changing more often.
Replacement VOC After Filters (2 inch):
Carbon Filter Part #W5-0820
Carbon/Potassium
Permanganate Filter Part #W5-0885
CAUTION
Make sure to turn Air Cleaner OFF before
performing any maintenance or removing any
CAUTION
The new HEPA filter may be tight to install the first
time. Do not push from the center of filter. Apply even
pressure at both corners.
