To wash cells and prefilter(s)
To replace cells in air cleaner
We suggest that you follow the instructions below to properly and
thoroughly clean your collector cells.
1. Place enough hot water in a utility tub to cover the first cell. Dissolve 2
to 4 oz. of granulated automatic dishwasher detergent (not laundry
detergent) in the water.
2. Allow the cell to soak for 30 minutes. Agitate it up and down in the
solution until it appears clean and remove.
3. Repeat with second cell.
4. Agitate the prefilters up and down in the solution until they appear
clean.
5. With a hose, rinse the cells and prefilters. The hose should be held
about 10" from the cell plates and at a slight angle for better cleaning
results. Be careful not to spray the ionizing wires directly with the
hose. The water pressure can cause the wire to snap and break. The
cell frame should be thoroughly rinsed along the edges to dislodge
any trapped lint or dirt. Carefully wipe a damp cloth or sandpaper (not
emery cloth) along the ionizing wires.
6. Stand cells and prefilters up to drain. Let dry two hours. You may
experience a slight discoloration of the aluminum collector cells after
washing. This is a normal chemical reaction and will not harm your
unit or affect its performance.
1. Replace prefilter and cells in cabinet. Check that arrow on cells points
in same direction as air flows through the duct. (If you have to force it
past the positioning screw on bottom, it is probably in the wrong
position.)
2. Replace access door (engage tabs on lower edge of door into slots in
cabinet). Carefully close door.
3. Turn air cleaner switch to ON.
