Introduction

Your Electronic Air Purifier is ideal for large size rooms and has

been designed for continuous operation. For best results, operate

your air cleaner continuously on low speed (1).

Please take time to thoroughly read through your owner’s manual.

Your air cleaning system features a washable Electronic Filter – just

wash, dry and reuse. The outside of the air cleaner can be cleaned

using a soft, clean, damp cloth. Never immerse the unit in water.

How the Air Purifier Works

Polluted air is drawn into the Air Purifier through the top half of the

front grille. Dust, smoke, and pollen in the air receive a positive

electrical charge as they pass through the ionizing section of the

electronic filter. The charged particles then enter the collecting sec-

tion, which uses a series of alternately charged aluminum plates to

attract and retain the particles. It works like a powerful magnet and

the particles remain fixed to the plates through natural adhesion

until removed by the washing process. The air then passes through

a Charcoal Filter that helps remove household odors. Clean air is

discharged back into the room through the bottom half of the front

grille.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock,

120V/60Hz models have a polarized plug (one blade

is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a

polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not

fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still

does not fit, contact qualified personnel to install

the proper outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.

SAFETY NOTE: Do not use this electronic air clean-

er when oxygen is being used or when com-

bustible gases are present.

Getting Started

The Charcoal Filter is sealed in a plastic bag taped to back of the

Air Purifier. To install the Charcoal Filter, remove the Filter Access

Cover by lifting upward (see figure 3). Lower the Charcoal Filter

into the filter rails located on the rear of the Electronic Filter.

The data label is located under the Filter Access Cover and defines

electrical specifications and power consumption. Replace the Filter

Access Cover and plug the unit into a standard household electrical

outlet. Your air cleaner is now ready for operation.

This Air Purifier can be used in any room in the house or in any

workspace as long as air can freely circulate into the upper grille

and out through the lower grille. The unit should never be placed

on soft surfaces such as beds or sofas; near computers, radios or

TV’s; or near sources of heat (such as stovetops or ovens).

Operation

The operation of the unit is simple.

Power the unit by pressing the

On/Off button and then press the

button corresponding to the desired

speed. Your Electronic Air Purifier is

designed for continuous operation

which also provides maximum effi-

ciency in removing airborne polu-

tants.

Cleaning

Instructions

If the Air Purifier is in constant

use, the Electronic Filter requires

washing about once a month to

remove the particles collected

from the air. If the unit snaps fre-

quently during operation, this is

an indication that the Electronic

Filter needs to be cleaned.

Unplug unit from power

source before servicing.

Removing the

Electronic Filter

Remove the Filter Access Cover

by lifting upward. Lift the

Electronic Filter out of the cabi-

net using the handle on the top

of the filter.

Removal of

Charcoal Filter

Lift the Charcoal Filter out of the

filter rails located on the rear side

of the Filter Assembly.

Washing the Charcoal Filter with

soap and water will destroy its

ability to absorb odor. However,

lint and dirt buildup can be

removed with a vacuum cleaner

using a brush attachment.

Odor absorpton effectiveness will

gradually deteriorate and the

Charcoal Filter should be replaced

every three to four months.

Do not wash the Charcoal Filter

Washing the Electronic

Filter

The Electronic Filter is designed

such that it can be cleaned using

common household detergent.

Using dishwashing detergent

and hot water, make a good

soaking solution in a tub or

large basin. Completely

immerse the Electronic Filter

and soak for 20 to 30 minutes in

the soaking solution (Figure 5).

After the Electronic Filter has

soaked sufficiently, agitate the

cell up and down in the soaking

solution until clean. If the

Electronic Filter is extremely

dirty, spray it with a common

household cleaner or Electronic

Air Cleaner solution. Allow the

filter to soak for five additional

minutes before proceeding with

the rinse instructions.

Thoroughly rinse both sides of

the Electronic Filter. If a sprayer

is available, spray with water

(Figure 6). Check to make sure

each plate in the Electronic Filter

is clean. Shake as much water

out of the Electronic Filter as

possible. Allow the filter to air

dry a minimum of one hour

before returning to service.

Washing Tips

When handling the Electronic Filter, be

careful not to damage or distort wires

or metal plates as this will cause exces-

sive snapping or arcing during opera-

tion.

Note: Slight discoloration of cell plates

is normal after use and does not affect

the performance of the Electronic Air

Purifier.

Warning: Do not clean

the Electronic Filter in

dishwasher.

Reinstalling the Filter

Assembly

Wipe down the interior and out-

side of the cabinet with a soft, dry

cloth.

Re-assemble the Filter Assembly

(see figure 7).

Warning:

Make sure the filter is dry

before reinstalling.

Using the handle, slide the

Electronic Filter inside the cabinet

wall.

Note that the tabs in the cabinet

and notches in the Electronic Filter

end plates ensure the filter is cor-

rectly positioned.

Replace the Filter Access Cover. An

electrical interlock switch prevents

the unit from operating if the

Electronic Filter or Filter Access

Cover is not replaced correctly.

Note: An occasional ‘arcing’

sound is normal when operat-

ing the unit immediately after

cleaning and should stop with-

in a few minutes of operation.

Questions & Answers

How can I get the most out of my

Electronic Air Purifier?

For peak efficiency in maintaining air quality, we

recommend that the unit be operated continuous-

ly.

My Air Purifier makes a snapping sound...

You may notice an occasional snapping or arcing

sound coming from your unit. This is a normal

occurrence that happens when large particles are

electrically charged in the Electronic Filter.

Prolonged or continuous arcing is an indication

that the filter should be cleaned or that the filter

has been damaged.

Sometimes I notice an unfamilIar smell

when I turn the unit on.

Some owners may notice a "new smell" (like out-

doors after an electrical storm) during the first

few weeks of operation. This is not unusual dur-

ing the break-in period. This unit emits very low

levels of ozone; less than a typical electrical appli-

ance in your home, such as a television.

Replacement Filters

If replacement filters are needed please contact your dealer.

ters for your electronic air purifier.
