Cleaning & Maintenance

Cleaning the Permanent HEPA-type Filter:

Keep the TheraPure® 220M functioning properly by cleaning the permanent HEPA-type filter every four weeks. More frequent cleaning may be necessary if the unit is in an area with a high level of airborne contaminants (e.g., smoke, pet dander).

NOTE: Always ensure the TheraPure® 220M is turned off and unplugged before cleaning.

• Vacuuming will restore the performance of the permanent HEPA-type filter. The filter may appear stained, which is normal and does not affect performance.
• Do not use water or any household cleaners or detergents to clean the permanent HEPA-type filter.
• The inlet grill may be cleaned with a vacuum or a slightly damp cloth (after the unit is turned off and unplugged).

Steps for Cleaning the Permanent HEPA-type Filter:

• Release the inlet grill by pressing on the locking latch.
• Remove the inlet grill from the unit.
• Grasp the left and right frames of the permanent HEPA-type filter and remove it.
• To clean the filter, use the brush or crevice attachment with a vacuum cleaner. Run the attachment along the inlet and outlet sides of the filter, cleaning between the crevices as much as possible. Do not use water or household cleaners.
• Once cleaned and checked for damage, replace the filter in the reverse order of removal.

Exposing the TheraPure® 220M to candle/oil/fireplace soot and smoke is not recommended and will require more frequent cleaning.

Cleaning External Surfaces

• Turn off and unplug the unit.
• Use a washcloth slightly dampened with a little water and dishwashing soap to wipe the outer case surfaces.
• Do not allow water to enter internal parts, as this could damage the unit and result in electrical shock or injury.
• Allow the unit to thoroughly dry before use.

UV Lamp

The lifetime of the UV lamp is up to 12 months of continuous, effective operation. After this time, the bulb may remain illuminated, but its effectiveness is greatly reduced. For maximum germicidal protection, replace the UV bulb annually.

If the lamp stops functioning or needs replacement, please visit www.envionproducts.com to order a replacement lamp, or call 1.800.875.8577.

Caution:

• Do not touch the glass part of the lamp. Oil from fingertips will decrease the effectiveness of the lamp.
• Never operate the unit without a filter or with a damaged filter. The UV lamp cover must be installed at all times. The UV light can cause severe damage to eyes and could cause blindness.

UV Lamp Notice Warning:

UV Light is harmful to bare skin and eyes and can cause temporary or permanent loss of vision. Never look directly at the UV lamp while it is illuminated – doing so could cause loss of vision!
