Cleaning
Your unit should be cleaned monthly to be kept running at peak performance, but depending upon the pollution or odor levels present during
initial setup, it is advisable to clean the unit more frequently (weekly or bi-weekly) until the environment has been treated.
Cleaning the Unit (Exterior):
Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth or use compressed air or a vacuum cleaner to remove dust. Use an alcohol-based cleaning product to clean the surfaces of your unit.
Cleaning the Filter Assembly
You may use clean water or compressed air to clean your
Filter Assembly once it has been disassembled (see “Disassembly: Removing the Filter Assembly”). After disassembling your
unit, the three filters (mesh, foam and honeycomb) should be removed and cleaned separately. If using water, you must allow the filters to dry separately before reassembly. When
reassembling, the Honeycomb Filter goes in first, then the Foam Filter, and finally the thin Mesh Filter. Lastly, reattach the rim to the Filter Assembly.
Cleaning the Ionization Needle
Using a cotton applicator (Q-tip), apply a small amount of clear alcohol-based cleaner (or rubbing alcohol) to the Ionization Needle. You may also use compressed air to blow off
any dust that may accumulate near the ionization needle.
Cleaning the PCO Cell
Using a compressed air or a vacuum cleaner, blow and/or vacuum the dust out of the PCO Cell. Do not use any liquid to clean the PCO Cell
.
Cleaning the Purification Plate
Using a 50/50 mix of warm water and clear ammonia, soak the Purification Plate for 8-10 hours but do not exceed 12 hours. Using a soft-bristle brush, scrub the wire mesh to
remove debris lodged inside the mesh. Rinse thoroughly. Allow the purification plate to dry completely before reinstalling. After reinstalling, use a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol
to clean the contacts on the interior of the unit that touch the
Purification Plate
.
Cleaning the Unit (Interior)
Using a damp cloth, a clear alcohol-based cleaner, compressed air or a vacuum cleaner, carefully clean the walls and components inside of the unit only after completing the
Disassembly
procedures.
