MAINTENANCE AND
WASHING
CAUTION
!
CABINET AND CELLS MAY CON-
TAIN SHARP EDGES.
Use care when servicing unit or han-
dling cells.
Failure to do so could result in mi-
nor personal injury.
For maximum efficiency your air cleaner cell(s) and pre-
filter(s) should be inspected once a month and cleaned
when necessary. Cleaning will usually be required every
one to three months, depending upon the particular
household circumstances. When cleaning is required the
following procedure should be used:
CLEANING THE CELLS
1. Turn the air moving system “OFF.”
2. Push the ON-OFF switch on the power pack to the
“OFF” position (Figure 20). Wait 15 seconds and both
the power pack and the collecting cell(s) will be
automatically discharged.
3. Release the latch on top of power pack and pull the
power pack straight away from cabinet at the top.
Then lift pack out of ledge at bottom edge of cabinet.
Set power pack aside.
4. Remove the cell(s) and pre-filter(s) from cabinet.
Using a solution of warm water and low sudsing
detergent, soak cell(s) and pre-filter(s) for 20 to 30
minutes.
NOTE: Ionizing wires may become coated causing
loss of cleaning ability by the collecting cell. Using a
damp cloth, wipe each ionizing wire, exercising care
not to damage them.
5. Remove the cell(s) and pre-filter(s) from solution and
rinse thoroughly with clean water.
6 Allow cell(s) and pre-filter(s) to drip dry for a mini-
mum of 2 hours. Cell(s) and pre-filter(s) may be
tipped at a slight angle to expedite the drip-dry pro-
cess.
7. Reinstall the cell(s) and pre-filter(s) in the cabinet.
8. Replace the power pack. Turn furnace fan on. After
30 minutes push ON-OFF switch on the power pack
to the “ON” position.
Support
Ionizing
Wire
A moderate amount of arcing or “snapping” may
occur at this time, which will indicate that the cell(s)
are still damp. If the noise is objectionable, push the
ON-OFF switch to the “OFF” position and allow
additional time for cell(s) and pre-filter(s) to dry. In
some cases the Operating Light will remain OFF
during this initial activation of the air cleaner, and this
would indicate that the cell(s) are not completely dry.
The Operating Light should remain ON while the
furnace fan is running once the drying is complete.
REPLACING AN IONIZING WIRE
If an ionizing wire should break, it can be replaced as
follows:
1. Remove all pieces of broken wire. Make sure sup-
ports at each end are in good condition and not bent
out of shape.
2. Hook the new wire onto the support at one end.
3. Hold your finger against the support at the other end
(Figure 22) and hold the ionizing wire between thumb
and forefinger as shown or use needle nose pliers.
Press inward on spring support. Hook end of wire
over small tab at end of support and release. Make
sure wire is securely anchored at each end.
