Special Concerns for Track Light Mounted Appliances
Special Concerns for Track Light-Mounted Appliances
Track Light-Mounted installations (AQ550TL) occasionally encounter a problem with fragrance deposits on
the door of the appliance. Left uncorrected for several days the condensation can begin to drip, creating the
appearance of a leak in the machine and damaging the floor.
Cause
This is caused by fragrance droplets from the output of the AQ550TL being blown back onto the surface of
the machine by the ambient air flow. This is due to improper directional orientation of the output port of
the machine and cartridge.
Solution
At installation AND AT EACH SERVICE/CARTRIDGE CHANGE make sure the output port of the machine is
pointing in the same direction as the ambient air flow at the location of the machine. The simple test is to
observe the plume as it leaves the machine. The machine can be adjusted on a 360-degree axis. Change the
direction of the output so the plume is leaving the machine straight out or perpendicular to the face of the
door. If the plume is not readily visible, use a high intensity flashlight.
Option
If there is so much turbulence at the output that there is no position at which the plume can be oriented in
the correct direction (same direction as the airflow), then use the top output port of the cartridge. This is
done by closing the front port, opening the top port, inserting the cartridge in the machine and inserting
the 2” plastic extension tube into the top port of the cartridge. REMEMBER THE TUBE HAS TO BE REMOVED
BEFORE REMOVING THE CARTRIDGE FOR REFILL.
Service
At each service, check the door for any evidence of fragrance condensation. If there is condensation, clean
it thoroughly with alcohol. Adjust the machine orientation according to the solution above.
