9. Do not handle the lamp with bare hands. Oils on your hands tend to reduce lamp intensity. Install lamp into ballast.(See Figure 6) 10. Wipe off the lamp glass with the supplied alcohol wipe. Then insert the lamp through the center hole of the mounting base.(See Figure 7) The power cord must be 90° to the viewport hole on the mounting base. 11. With the ballast pressed against the mounting base, rotate the ballast clockwise 90º. 12. Do not wire the unit into the appliance fan circuit.

MAINTENANCE WARNING: Always unplug unit from the electrical outlet before commencing inspection and cleaning. NOTE: Wear disposable, non-absorbent protective gloves prior to inspection procedure in case of accidental breakage of glass. 1. We recommend inspecting and cleaning the lamp at least every 6 months. Frequency depends upon the environment. Such as: the type of air filter, duration of use and replacement cycle. 2. To maintain maximum output intensity, replace the UV-Aire lamp annually.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 1. Check to make sure 120VAC power is available at the electrical outlet. 2. Do not wire the unit into the appliance fan circuit. This will cause premature ballast or lamp failure and void the warranty. For proper operation, the unit requires 120VAC at all times. 3. Pull back metal washer on mounting base. If lamp comes on, the base needs tightening to ensure that the safety switch is fully engaged. 4. If lamp does not light up, rotate ballast slightly clockwise or counterclockwise. 5.
