IQ Power Fantom

5201292 Rev A

6. MAINTENANCE

Ionizing Emitter Points

1.   Dust or dirt on the ionization points will reduce effectiveness of the blower. 

Ionization points must be cleaned periodically to prevent deposits from 

accumulating. 

2.   Simply turn OFF and back ON.  The automatic point cleaner will cycle three 

times to clean the ionizing points.  If the automatic point cleaner should 

become inoperative, there is a Point Cleaner button adjacent to the ionized air 

outlet.  Push the button several times to clean the ion emitter points.

3. Frequency of cleaning should be at least once monthly, or as determined by 

inspections based on operating conditions.

Air Intake Filter

1.   Filter cleaning or replacement frequency depends upon the cleanliness of the 

operating environment.  Inspect filters weekly, clean or replace as required. 

2.   Turn the unit OFF and remove air filter from intake.
3.   The air filter is open cell polyurethane.  It may be cleaned with mild soap and 

water.  Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry before reinstalling.

4.   To install air filter, place over intake grille.  Tuck edges of air filter in recess 

around perimeter of intake grille.

Ionizer Module

CAUTION

 –  

Risk of Injury

Turn off and disconnect unit from line voltage before removing ionizer 

module.  Use care handling ionizer module, puncture hazard, sharp pins 

are present.

MISE EN GARDE – Risque de blessure

Éteindre et débrancher l’unité de la tension secteur avant de retirer le 

module ioniseur. Manipuler le module ioniseur avec précaution, risque de 

piqûre, broches pointues présentes.

1.   Turn unit OFF.
2.   Loosen (4) screws located at corners of ionized air outlet.  The screws are captive 

and will remain with ionizing module.

3.   Remove ionizing module.  The side opposite the point cleaner button contains 

electrical connectors.  It may be necessary to grasp this side and rock the 

ionizing module gently to disconnect the connectors.
