A.
Cleaning the Cell
For optimum performance the electronic cells must be washed
regularly to remove the dirt cleaned from the air. The required
frequency of cell washing varies from one environment to another,
depending on a large number of variables. In nearly all cases, the
correct period is between 1 and 6 months. Where building
infiltration and internal generation of dust is low, as in a smaller
home, washing every 5 or 6 months may be adequate. Where there
is considerable infiltration, cooking, dust, and tobacco smoke,
more frequent washing will be required. If a heavy buildup of dirt
is found on the collector plates or the cell is not clean after
washing, it should be cleaned more often. If there is only light dirt
on collector plates, the period between washing can probably be
lengthened. The electronic plate cells may be washed a number of
different ways, depending on homeowner preference.
1. Automatic Dishwasher Washing—The easiest and most
convenient way to remove the accumulated dirt from the
plate-type electronic cells is to wash them in an automatic
dishwasher.
a. Place electronic cells on sides with ionizer section down
(airflow arrows pointing up) on lower rack of dish-
washer.
CAUTION:
Use care to avoid damage to the collector
plates when placing the cells in the dishwasher.
NOTE:
For some dishwashers with a center spray arm, it may be
necessary to remove the top basket to fit one or both cells inside.
b. Use detergent in accordance with dishwasher manufac-
turer’s instructions.
c. Allow dishwasher to run through its complete wash
cycle. You may also allow it to run through its complete
dry cycle, although this is not necessary.
CAUTION:
The electronic cell will be very hot at the
end of the dishwasher’s cycle. Allow it to cool before
handling. Hot water may accumulate in the tubes sup-
porting the collector plates. Tip the cells to drain tubes.
