4. Rinse the cells well with warm water and check that they are clean. If still dirty, you can
wash them again. It is not necessary that the plates get shining bright. Just check to see
that there is no accumulation of dirt on them.
5.
Let the cells dry thoroughly in a well ventilated place, preferably overnight. You can
turn the cells over a few times to speed up drying. Check that the ionization wires are clean.
4) Reinstalling the cells and the filters
- remove plastic wrappings from the active carbon filters before installing them
- make sure to install the cells the right way. The direction of air flow is from the grid
towards the fan. Also check to see that the high voltage contact plates of the cells
touch the counterpart contacts on the purifier frame.
- insert the prefilters in the grooves below the collector cells and return the spring in
place to hold the aluminum frame of the filter. The purpose of the spring is both to
prevent the vibration of the prefilter and to press the micro switch which controls the
prefilter.
- push the grid in its groove and close the door by lifting up the latch and then closing
the door so that the spring loaded latches lock it tightly. If the door is not properly
closed, the unit will not function because the safety switch controlling the door is not
closed.
- connecting the mains cable to the wall socket starts the air purifier at fan speed II (two
green indicator lights of the control panel are on). The yellow indicator of high voltage
is on continuously (figure 5,C) if the unit is running normally.
Blinking indicator and/or cracking noise from the collector cell refers to high voltage short
circuit. The short circuit may be caused by a wet collector cell, a distorted collector plate
or a snapped ionization wire which is short circuited by other metal parts of the cell or the
prefilter. Straighten the distorted plate or replace the wire. If necessary call your
authorized Elixair service.
If the high voltage indicator light still indicates a fault (the light is off or it blinks)
take the air purifier to authorized Elixair service.
Using the purifier while the high
voltage indicator is off or blinks may severely damage the unit.
- mark on the memo sheet on page 34 the dates when you wash the purifier and
change the active carbon filters. This facilitates the follow up of maintenance intervals
and thus the proper and regular service of your air purifier.
