PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

Nature cleanses the air with the lightning and rain. Lightning produces ozone, as well as positive and negative ions which cleanse the air naturally. Rain helps bring the ozone and ions closer to the earth's surface. They are then attracted to atmospheric contaminants that are either removed from the air and attached to grounded objects or are oxidized.

Breeze AT reproduces the natural conditions found in the outdoors. It is not designed to create an artificial environment. The re-establishment of a natural environment takes place out in the air, rather than inside the unit.

The Breeze AT cleanses the air using these natural processes.

The Breeze AT also includes a feature which will effectively sanitizes an unoccupied area.

SETTING AND ADJUSTING CONTROLS WITH THE REMOTE

TURNING YOUR BREEZE ON & OFF

The Breeze AT will come on by pressing the POWER button on the remote.

To turn on the Purifier feature, press the Purifier On/Off button once. To turn the

Purifier feature off, press the Purifier On/Off again.

1. REMOTE FAN CONTROL

The remote will set the fan by pressing the FAN UP or FAN DOWN button. To turn the fan off, press the POWER button (turns unit off as well).

Increased air circulation improves the cleansing properties of the Breeze AT , so the fan control should be set as high possible without creating an undesirable noise level.

Note: A ceiling fan can also aid in distribution of cleansing properties.

2. PURIFIER CONTROL

The Purifier feature is turned on and off by pressing the PURIFIER ON/OFF button.

The Purification level is adjusted by pressing and holding either the PURIFIER UP or PURIFIER DOWN button and watching the indicator LEDs (small blue lights) on the front of the unit until achieving the desired level

Purifier Control: Set the purifier to approximately 40% (2 LEDs lit).

Adjust the purifier control up or down after one hour based on the following criteria:

1. The chart shows the correct purifier level for the square footage of the environment. Under normal conditions it is not necessary to adjust the purifier control above the square footage of the environment.

2. Keeping in mind the previous statement (#1), adjust the purifier so that the purifier odor fades into the background 15-30 seconds after entering the environment.

3. When the remote’s purifier control is turned off, the purifier will be turned completely off, the fan and ionization will continue to operate normally.

3. REMOTE SANITIZING MODE

• Press the SANITIZER button once. You should leave the area until the sanitization is complete.

• The Breeze AT will operate for two hours at the maximum purification output and then return to the output that matches the purifier setting.

• To interrupt sanitize mode before the end of the two hour period, press the

SANITIZER button, OZONE ON/OFF button, or the POWER button.

SETTING AND ADJUSTING CONTROLS MANUALLY

The Breeze AT can also be adjusted using the buttons located on the front of the unit. The buttons correspond to the buttons on the remote (POWER, FAN UP, FAN

DOWN, PURIFIER ON/OFF, etc.), so operation and set-up are the same for both.

MAINTENANCE

Periodic maintenance is required to insure that the Breeze AT operates properly. A severely polluted environment can foul a purifier plate in as little as two weeks, normal plate cleaning should take place monthly. Shown here are basic procedures that should be carried out to keep your unit running at top performance.

CAUTION: Unplug the Breeze AT before performing any maintenance procedures.

Cleaning the Case:

Wipe the Breeze AT with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use chemicals or solvents. Vacuum the front grill periodically to remove any lint buildup.

Rear lint-screen / filter cleaning:

You have two options to clean the lint screen:

• When visibly dirty, simply remove the rear filter from the Breeze AT and, with a hand-held vacuum, remove the heavy particulate from the filter. This method will extend the life of the filter.

OR

• When visibly dirty, remove the rear filter from the Breeze AT and wash in hot water, brushing gently with a toothbrush to remove particulate. Allow to dry prior to reinstalling the lint screen. Note: do not use soap - it will damage the carbon material in the lint screen / filter.

Rear lint-screen / filter replacement:

Contact your EcoQuest Dealer for replacement filters.

Purifier Plate:

Remove the rear filter (see page 5). Carefully remove the Ecotech purifier plate from the card cage by grasping the middle of the edge nearest to you, (See page 6 for purifier plate location) and slowly pull it straight out.

Clean the purifier plate with hot water and ammonia. Dry completely using a hair dryer if necessary. Reinstall purifier plate (See page 6) . Be sure to check that the electrical tabs are in contact with the plate.

Purifier Plate Card Cage:

Also be sure to clean the white stand-offs at the corners of the purifier plate card cage. (A cotton swab with alcohol works well.)

Changing the fuse:

The fuse may be accessed by unplugging the cord from the back of the unit and gently pulling the fuse holder straight out. Replace with a 1amp buss type fuse only.

Fuse Location

TROUBLESHOOTING

Indicators of Operation

The Ionizer/Fan lamp should be illuminated whenever the unit is on.

Depending on the current Purifier setting, between 1 and 5 of the small blue purifier lights should be illuminated.

The SANITIZER light should be RED when the sanitizing feature is on.

A small lamp or bulb is located at the base of the frequency type ionizer antenna.

Turn the unit on and check that the lamp is illuminated. This verifies that the frequency type ionizer and needlepoint ionizer are functioning properly. The lamp should stay illuminated as long as the unit is turned on.

Troubleshooting - What to look for first.

1. I have plugged in the unit, turned “on” the main power switch, pressed the ON button on the remote (or the unit) and nothing happens…what's wrong?

• Make sure the electrical outlet is capable of providing power to the unit.

• Check the lint screen located at the back of the machine to ensure that the safety switch activator clip depresses the safety switch.

• Check to see if the proper fuse is installed and that it is operational.

2. The fan is operating although the unit won't produce any ozone…what's wrong?

• Check the Ecotech purifier plate(s) for serviceability. If they are cracked or broken, the purifier plate(s) will require replacement. Ensure maintenance procedures required for the purifier plate(s) have been performed according to the "Maintenance" section of this Owner's Manual. Order new plates from your EcoQuest Dealer.

• Electrical stainless steel contacts are not contacting the screen portion of the

Purifier plate(s). Unplug and inspect the unit for any loose connections.

• Do not attempt to disassemble the unit, due to the Limited Warranty of the product.

3. How am I able to know if the Frequency Type Ionizer is working?

• Current models with the Frequency Type Ionizer system have a neon light bulb mounted on the base of the Frequency Type antenna. When the power switch to the unit is turned ON, the neon light bulb will illuminate, indicating that the Frequency Type Ionizer is functioning normally.

4. The Ecotech Purifier Plate(s) are making a noise, have a burning smell, and/or appear to arc or spark. What is the problem?

• Purifier plate is most likely cracked. Refer to the answers for question # 2, as it would apply to this question also.

5. What are the most typical application problems?

• Symptom: A belief that the proper equipment is placed in the environment and the equipment appears unsuccessful.

Problem: Lack of air movement, improper placement of the unit.

• Symptom: Strong odors still remain within the environment after placement.

Problem: Lack of ozone, improper placement of the unit.

11

12

• Symptom: A strong odor of ozone is present within the environment.

Problem: Too much ozone accumulation within the environment, as a result of improper purifier control setting, and / or lack of air movement.

• Symptom: Visual haze of smoke and / or particulate remain within the environment.

Problem: Lack of ionization and / or air movement.

6. Unit does not operate -

• Is the unit plugged in?

• Are you sure the outlet is active?

• Is the main power switch turned on?

• Is the rear lint screen installed properly to depress the safety switch downward?

• Does the fuse need to be replaced?

7. Air flow is restricted or reduced -

• Is the unit properly placed away from objects that may obstruct air flow?

• Are the filter and front grill housing clean?

If your unit fails to operate properly after performing trouble-shooting, contact your EcoQuest Dealer for further assistance, contact EcoQuest at the address located on the front of the manual, or visit www.EcoQuest.com for additional technical support.
