Page 11 NOTE: You may let the heating or air condi- tioning system operate normally while the cell(s) are being washed. Simply turn off the air cleaner switch. Cleaning the Vacuum the prefilter or brush, or soak it in a prefilter(s) tub. Do not wash the prefilter in the dishwasher or carwash.
Page 12 STEP 1 Put the cell(s) on the lower rack of the dish- washer with the airflow arrow pointing up. It may be necessary to remove the upper rack. Do not block water flow to the upper arm. HINT: Lay a few large water glasses between the spikes on the lower rack, and rest the cell(s) on them so the spikes do not damage the aluminum collector blades.
Page 13 STEP 1 Use a large enough container, such as a laundry tub or trash container, to hold one or both cell(s). NOTE: Sharp corners on the cell(s) can scratch the surface of a bathtub. STEP 2 Dissolve about 3/4 cup of automatic dishwasher detergent per cell in enough hot water to cover the cell(s).

Page 15: How Electronic Air Cleaning Works
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 i in the word micron is about 400 microns.
Page 16 How the electronic First, large particles (lint, hair) are caught by the air cleaner works prefilter(s). 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...
Page 17 The regular furnace filter collects mainly large, The electronic air visible particles that reach the filter. Its main cleaner vs. the purpose is to protect the furnace and air standard conditioner blower. The electronic air cleaner furnace filter collects these large particles, plus many of the smaller, mostly invisible particles.

However, some gases can be trapped by an activated carbon filter or diluted with outdoor air.

Page 19 If desired, the ozone generated by the air cleaner can be reduced by asking your dealer to: • Install an activated carbon filter downstream of the air cleaner, or • Adjust the air cleaner power supply to reduce ozone production. This adjustment will reduce ozone production about 20-25 percent, but will also reduce air cleaning efficiency about 7-10 percent.
