The Aprilaire Model 2275 High Efficiency Air Purifier is a portable unit designed to improve indoor air quality by effectively reducing airborne particles. It is suitable for use in apartments or single rooms within a home, providing cleaner and fresher air wherever needed. This air purifier is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking to reduce discomfort from allergies, as it efficiently traps pollutants using its disposable media filter.
The Aprilaire Model 2275 operates by drawing dirty air from the bottom of the unit through its fan. This air then passes through a deep-pleated, high-efficiency media filter, which permanently traps airborne particles such as dust, pollen, pet dander, and tobacco smoke. Once filtered, clean air is discharged into the room through the outlet grille located on the top of the unit. The unique design of the media filter provides over 10.8 square feet of filtering surface, and its efficiency increases as it accumulates particles. For optimal effectiveness, continuous operation is recommended. In a typical 16' x 16' x 8' room (2,048 cubic feet), the unit can filter all the air approximately four times per hour at high speed and about three times per hour at low speed.
The Aprilaire Model 2275 High Efficiency Air Purifier comes fully assembled, making it ready for immediate use. To operate, simply plug the power cord into a standard grounded outlet. The appliance features a polarized plug, meaning one blade is wider than the other, designed to fit into a polarized outlet only one way to reduce the risk of electric shock. If the plug does not fit initially, it should be reversed. If it still doesn't fit, a qualified electrician should be consulted, and no attempt should be made to bypass this safety feature.
The airflow speed can be set to either "High," "Low," or "Off" using the side-mounted switch. It is important to position the air purifier away from walls or furniture that might obstruct the air inlet, as air enters the unit from all sides. This ensures maximum effectiveness. For initial cleaning of a room with undesirable airborne particles, using the high speed is recommended. Once the air is clean, the low speed can be used continuously to maintain air quality. The quiet operation on low speed also makes it suitable for use in bedrooms while sleeping. The unit is designed to be energy-efficient, operating for less than $0.18 per day at a rate of $0.14 per kilowatt-hour.
Several safety precautions should be observed during use:
Regular maintenance is crucial for ensuring the continued high efficiency and performance of your Aprilaire Model 2275 Air Purifier. The high-efficiency media filter should be replaced approximately every six months, based on average conditions and eight hours of operation per day. It is essential to use only genuine Aprilaire media (part number 275) for replacement to maintain peak efficiency and overall performance.
