you may hear arcing. If the arcing is annoying,
simply turn off the air cleaner for 2 to 3 hours or
until the cell(s) are dry.

If your air cleaner has a Solid State
Performance Indicator, the CHECK LED may
come on if you install wet cell(s) and prefilter.
Again, if the neon light or the CHECK LED
annoys you, simply turn off the air cleaner for 2
to 3 hours or until the cell(s) and prefilter are
dry.
