GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1
The Johnson & Starley Cleanflow electronic air cleaner is designed to replace the passive air filters normally supplied with
air heaters and to provide an inexpensive means of efficiently cleaning the air of dust, pollen and even smoke. The elec-
tronic air cleaner consists of two special glass fibre pads mounted inside a retaining frame, and a central screen between the
pads. Dust and other particles passing near to the fibres are attracted to them and retained by an electrostatic charge. The
particles themselves, however, are not charged so any which escape the filter will not be attracted to walls, curtains or
furniture.
1.2
Since the power consumption of the cleaner is low (less than 1 watt), it has been arranged to operate as long as there is an
electrical supply to the air heater. This means that it can be used with the Summer Air Circulation facility provided on the
heater.

MAINTENANCE
2.1
The only maintenance required is to remove the Cleaner element approximately every fortnight, inspect it for build up of dust
and deposits, if necessary, remove deposits from the screens and periodically replace the Cleaner pads.
Note:
If the cleaner pads are allowed to collect too much dust, operation of the Air Cleaner and air heater may become
ineffective.
2.2
To change the Cleaner pads:
2.2.1
Switch OFF the electrical supply to the unit.
2.2.2
Cleanflow Petite only:
Disconnect the jack plug on the top right of the Cleaner element.
2.2.3
All applications:
Gently withdraw the element and vacuum off any accumulated dust from the outside.
2.2.4
Undo the two latches and open the Cleaner element.
2.2.5
Before removing the dirty pads, note that the white electrode and the thin spring like wire (discharge switch) are on
top of one of the pads -
THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT.
2.2.6
Remove the two pads, (taking care not to damage the electrode and discharge switch) and discard them.
2.2.7
Remove any remaining dust from the mesh screens with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Tarry deposits (i.e. from
cigarette smoke) may be removed from the screens by careful application of a small amount of methylated spirit.
WARNING: Do not use water to clean the unit or the pads.
