Changing The Filter - Aprilaire 1000 Serie Manual Del Propietário

OPERATION
Household dust is typically an accumulation of particles in a size
range of .01 micron up to 100 microns. Pollens and spores, which can
aggravate allergy symptoms, are usually in the 10-100 micron size range.
The visible household dust particles, and nearly all pollen and spore
particles, therefore, can be caught and permanently held, very easily,
if you can get them to the air cleaner. With central high efficiency air
cleaners, the blower of your heating/air conditioning system performs
the air movement function.
Continuous air cleaning will be accomplished when your thermostat is
set for continuous air circulation ("Fan On"). If continuous air cleaning is
not required, or desired, set your thermostat to "Fan Auto".
For those who choose periodic cleaning, (as opposed to continuous
cleaning through continuous furnace blower operation), the most
important period is during—and for several hours after—vacuuming
your home. The vacuuming process (unless you have a central vacuum
system) stirs up a large volume of dust particles which must be drawn
into your air cleaner.
MAINTENANCE
The only maintenance required is the periodic replacement of the
disposable Aprilaire® Filtering Media which you can do in a few minutes.
The frequency of replacement will vary with operation time, the number
of particles generated in the home and is affected by: number of people
and their activities, the amount of carpeting, pets, size of home, number
of smokers, the pollution level of the area.
Aprilaire recommends replacing the media each year. However, if you do
not run your blower continuously the media may last up to two years.
Air conditioning systems larger than 3.5 tons, or heating systems larger
than 130,000 BTUs per hour (1400 cfm), will require more frequent
attention if operated continuously.

CHANGING THE FILTER

Replace the filtering media with genuine Aprilaire SelfSeal™ filters,
available from your installing contractor. IMPORTANT: Follow the step
by step directions on the filter carton to ensure that it is installed in
the proper orientation – the outlet side of the filtering media is the
expanded metal.
The model number for your replacement filtering media can be found
on the label inside the air cleaner door (see FIGURE 3).

Many of the dust particles generated, while vacuuming, are so heavy
they "fall" out of the airstream before they can be drawn out of your
living area. This is why it is important to do household dusting several
hours after vacuuming. Normally once the heavy particles "fall out",
they are only reintroduced to the air by vacuuming, or similarly vigorous
activity.
Where allergy symptoms, which are aggravated by pollens and spores,
are a concern, continuous cleaning is strongly encouraged.
To recap, when removing household dust is the major benefit you
are seeking, you should operate your air cleaner during and following
periods when dust is being generated or "stirred up". For pollens and
spores which aggravate an allergy condition, your cleaner must be
operated continuously when these pollutants are in the environment.
The air cleaner can only be effective when air containing the
contaminants is drawn through the filtering media.
