OPTIONAL ECOHELP FILTER
Changing the UV Lamp
The UV lamp should be changed when REPLACE LAMP appears
on the display. To change the lamp follow the instructions on
pages 10 - 13.
Changing the fuse:
The fuse may be accessed by
unplugging the cord from the back
of the unit and gently pulling the
fuse holder straight out.
PLACEMENT OF UNIT
Place the unit as high
as possible to insure
complete purification. (On
top of a bookshelf, high
cabinet, etc.)
Suggested locations, listed
in the order of preference:
1. Nearest the source of the
worst pollution.
2. Near a cold-air return
to thoroughly circulate
clean air throughout the
area.
3. In the area most
heavily used to achieve
maximum benefit.
Note:
• The rear of the unit should always have at least one inch of
open area to allow unrestricted airflow.
• Be sure the power cord is not accessible to small children to
prevent injury.
For removal of additional dust and allergens, your Fresh Air by
EcoQuest will accommodate an optional EcoHelp filter. The
EcoHelp filter replaces the standard lint screen and is completely
covered when the unit is properly assembled. See page 13 for filter
installation instructions. Contact your EcoQuest Dealer to order
an EcoHelp filter.
100 & 110 volt models - use 1.6
Amp slow blow fuse.
220/240 volt models - use 1.0 Amp slow blow fuse.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance is required to insure that your Fresh Air
by EcoQuest operates properly. The unit will display a PERFORM
CLEANING reminder when it is time to perform regular
maintenance. If you are operating your unit in a severely polluted
environment, cleaning of the unit, purifier plate, and RCI
™
Target
should be done more frequently. Shown here are basic procedures
that should be carried out to keep your unit running at top
performance.
CAUTION: Unplug the unit before performing any maintenance
procedures.
Cleaning the Case:
Wipe the unit with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use
chemicals or solvents. Vacuum the front and rear grills periodically
to remove any lint buildup.
Cleaning the RCI
™
Target:
Remove the RCI Target and rinse with warm water. Allow to dry
completely before reinstalling.
Rear lint-screen cleaning:
You have two options to clean the lint screen:
1. When visibly dirty, simply remove the rear lint screen from the
unit (see pages 10 - 13) and, with a hand-held vacuum, remove
the heavy particulate. This method will extend the life of the
filter.
2. When visibly dirty, remove the rear lint screen from the unit
(see pages 10 - 13) and wash in hot water, brushing gently with
a toothbrush to remove particulate. Allow to dry prior to re-
installing. Note: do not use soap - it will damage the carbon
material in the lint screen. If an EcoHelp filter has been installed,
replace if necessary - do not wash.
Rear lint-screen replacement:
Contact your EcoQuest Dealer for replacement lint screens.
Purifier Plate:
Remove the rear filter (see pages 10 - 13). Carefully remove the
purifier plate from the card cage by grasping the middle of the edge
nearest to you, and slowly pull it straight out.
If you are in an environment where there are fats, oils or grease, such
as in a kitchen
, start with cleaning with denatured alcohol and a soft
bristle brush. This will cut the grease without leaving a residue.
For all applications
- Clean with ammonia to remove contaminates.
Put the plate(s) into a shallow dish and pour enough ammonia
into the dish to just cover plate(s). Allow the plate(s) to soak for
10-20 minutes. Remove and scrub with a soft bristle brush. Rinse
thoroughly.
Let air dry
for 24 hours or use a blow dryer to
dry
thoroughly
.
The unit will display a REPLACE PLATE message if the purification
plate needs to be replaced.
