1. Inspect the dishwasher You may wish to rerun the wash and or rinse cycle with the dishwasher empty if you see dirt or residue from washing the cells If dirt or residue seems excessive wash the cells more often or try a different detergent N CAUTION Hazardous chemical Can cause personal injury e Do not splash the detergent solution in eyes Wear rubber gloves to avoid prolonged detergent contact with your skin Keep detergent and solution out of reach of children NOTE Always wash the cells first then the prefilters to keep heavy prefilter lint from getting caught in the cells 69 0764 2 10 STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3 STEP 4 STEP 5 STEP 6 STEP 7 Washing the cells ata car wash Use a large enough container such as a laundry tub or trash container to hold one or both cells NOTE Sharp corners on the cells can scratch the surface of a bathtub Dissolve about 3 4 cup of automatic dishwasher detergent per cell in enough hot water to cover the cells If the detergent does not dissolve readily or forms a scum on the water try another brand or use softened water After the detergent has completely dissolved place the cells in the container and let soak for 15 to 20 minutes Agitate them up and down a few times and remove Next wash the prefilters the same way Empty and rinse the wash container Rinse the cells and prefilters with a hard spray of very hot water rinse the tub2. If your air cleaner has an Air Cleaner Monitor the FAULT indicator may activate if you install wet cells and prefilters Again if the neon light orthe FAULT indicator annoys you simply turn off the air cleaner for 2 3 hours or until the cells and prefilters are dry 69 0764 2 12 HOW ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANING WORKS A word about The particles removed by the electronic air particle size cleaner tend to be very small less than 10 microns But what is a 10 micron particle Well the eye of an average size sewing needle is about 750 microns across and the dot in the in the word micron is about 400 microns Gener ally particles smaller than 10 microns can be seen only with a microscope except in very large concentrations such as a puff of smoke Your electronic air cleaner can remove even smaller particles that can be seen only with an electron microscope Although particles 1 micron and smaller make up only about 20 percent of the total weight of particles in unfiltered air they account for over 99 percent of the numbers of particles Because they are so tiny these particles tend to remain suspended in the air unless they collide with a solid surface Then they attach by molecular adhesion and stick like glue staining walls and furniture and coating your air condi tioning coils And of course some of these particles can cause allergic reactions or simply make the environment less pleasant 13 6

7. 9 0764 2 How the electronic air cleaner works First large particles lint hair are caught by the prefilters Then as the dirty air passes through the intense high voltage electric field surround ing the ionizer wires all particles even the smallest are given an electric charge The air then passes into the collector where the alternate parallel plates are charged positive and negative creating a uniform electrostatic field Since opposites attract the charged particles stick to the collector plates which have an opposite electric charge The air leaving the air cleaner contains very few particles PREFILTER CLEANER AIR OUT gt IONIZER WIRES CHARGING SECTION COLLECTOR PLATES COLLECTOR SECTION M6030A Each time the air circulates through the heating air conditioning system and air cleaner more particles are removed These particles are generated by normal household activities and also enter the house from outside That is why we recommend that you use the air cleaner as much as possible 69 0764 2 14 The electronic air The regular furnace filter collects mainly large cleaner vs the visible particles that reach the filter Its main standard purpose is to protect the furnace and air furnace filter conditioner blower The electronic air cleaner collects these large particles plus many of the smaller mostly invisible particles Its purpose is to reduce indoor air pollution as
