HOW IT WORKS

Dirty air is drawn in through the front grill and passes through a 4-stage filtering system.

The Prefilter consists of aluminum mesh and a close knit polymesh. It prevents larger particles, lint and hair from entering the collecting cell.

The next step is a 2-Stage Electrostatic Collecting Cell. Dirt particles are charged with a high positive voltage by a series of fine ionizing wires. The charged particles are drawn through to the collecting plates where the dirt adheres to the grounded plates, and remains until the cell is taken out and washed. Removes particles down to 0.01 micron

(1/2,540,000 of an inch).

The air is then drawn through an Activated Carbon Odour &

Gas VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) Removal Filter to help remove offensive odours and gases. Clean air is then discharged out the top of the Air Cleaner.

Dual Negative Ionizer needles are located in the clean air stream. Adding healthy negative ions to the air revitalizes the air similar to that near a waterfall, spring, the ocean, or after a rainfall. Studies have shown that negative ions have a beneficial effect on human biochemistry, both physically and mentally.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove the Air Cleaner from the box and check for apparent damage. If your unit has any signs of damage, immediately contact the store where the Air Cleaner was purchased.

2. Keep the shipping carton in case the need arises to store or transport the unit.

3. Remove all packaging from the unit. Choose a suitable table or stand to allow unobstructed circulation from front and top of unit. The unit performs best when the back is against a wall. This enhances air circulation. To mount unit on wall, refer to the Wall Mount Instructions.

4. Operate Air Cleaner at voltage shown on back of unit.

5. The System Switch controls the power to the Fan

Control Switch and the power board. When the System

Switch is ON, the green light behind the front grill will be illuminated.

6. The Fan Control Switch in the front position is low speed, the center position is medium, and the rear position is high speed.

Use the low or medium speed for quiet, continuous or nighttime use. Use the high speed for initial cleaning of heavy concentrations of dirty air (i.e. smoke) or after leaving the room.

7. The negative ions are controlled by a separate switch located behind the fan control switch. When the switch is ON, the red light will be illuminated. Note: The

Negative Ion Emitter will not work without the

System Switch being ON.

8. To access the prefilter, collecting cell or activated carbon filter, press firmly on the right front dimple on the lid and release. Lift the lid releasing it from the magnet.

You may notice arcing or snapping from the cell. It is normal to hear some arcing when the unit is new or first turned on.

Arcing in the cell may also be caused by high humidity (over

80%), after washing, or when a large particle of dirt or hair is caught in the cell. If the arcing is continuous and constant, then refer to the Troubleshooting Chart.

WALL MOUNT INSTRUCTIONS

1. To mount Air Cleaner on wall, remove the rear feet (2) from the bottom of the Air Cleaner, to expose the keyhole slots.

2. To remove the feet from the Air Cleaner, you will need a small, flat screwdriver. Pry up the center pin of the rear foot until the head protrudes above the foot. Place the flat portion of the screwdriver under the foot and pry up.

This will release the foot from the cabinet. Keep the feet in case you wish to table mount the unit in future.

3. Find the location on the wall where you wish to place the

Air Cleaner. The unit should be placed 3 feet (1 m) below the ceiling. Use appropriate fasteners for the type of wall the unit will be mounted and insure the head of the screw will fit into the larger opening of the keyhole slot. The screw head should be larger than the smaller opening of the keyhole. The Air Cleaner weighs approximately 20 lbs (9 kg). The distance between the holes in the cabinet bottom is 16 3/4 in (42.5 cm).

4. After placing the screws in the wall, adjust the amount of the screw sticking out to approximately 1/8 in (.32 cm).

Place the Air Cleaner over the screw head and allow the head to slip into the keyhole slot. Pull the unit down slightly to allow the screw head to slide into the smaller portion of the slot.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

The prefilter and collecting cell must be washed on a regular basis for the Air Cleaner to function at its peak efficiency.

The frequency of cleaning will vary from one environment to another, therefore the cell should be checked monthly to determine cleaning schedule. On average, the cell should be washed every 2-3 months.

COLLECTING CELL

1. Turn Air Cleaner OFF. Remove the cell from the Air

Cleaner. Slide the prefilter and carbon filter out of the retaining brackets before cleaning.

2. Rinse prefilter and cell, and spray completely with DAX

Detergent (or non-chlorine, non-corrosive, non-abrasive, non-ammonia liquid household detergent). Let stand for

5 minutes. Rinse well with hot water (120°F / 49°C maximum). Repeat process 3 times.

3. If dirt remains, let cell soak in a solution of DAX

Detergent and hot water for 30 minutes.

4. For drying, place the cell on a 45° angle on one end, with the arrow pointing sideways, and let stand for 10-24 hours. A hair dryer may be used to speed up drying time. Make sure the cell is completely dry before reinserting back into Air Cleaner. The arrow on the cell must point toward the fan blower.

5. If arcing or snapping occurs or the lights do not come on when the cell is placed back in the unit and turned on, then remove the cell and allow to dry longer.

WARNING

•

DO NOT WASH COLLECTING CELL IN

DISHWASHER.

•

Never use any object to clean between the cell plates as this may cause damage to the plates or ionizing wires.

•

Never place the cell in an oven to dry.

•

The edges of the cell may be sharp — handle with care.

DAX Detergent, No. 32921, and the Activated Carbon

Odour & Gas (VOC) Removal

The two Operation Lights, located behind the front grill, are also used as the high voltage fault indicator. If the fan is operating, but the lights do not come on, then there is a problem in the high voltage circuit. To determine what the problem is, turn the Air Cleaner OFF and remove the collecting cell. Close the lid and turn the Air Cleaner back

ON. If the lights come back on, the problem lies in the cell.

Check the cell for wetness from washing or look for a broken ionizing wire(s) or bent cell plate(s).

If the lights do not come on, the problem is with the power board or Operation Light(s). If you are unable to correct any of the above problems, call 1-800-267-8305.
