CLEANING
Your unit should be cleaned at least monthly to keep it running at peak performance, but more
often if its operating environment is heavily contaminated.
Cleaning the Unit (Exterior):
Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth or use compressed air or a vacuum to remove dust.
Cleaning the FILTER ASSEMBLY
You may use clean water or compressed air to clean your FILTER ASSEMBLY once it has been
disassembled (see “DISASSEMBLY” on page 12). After disassembling your unit, the three lters
(mesh, foam, and honeycomb) should be removed and cleaned separately. If using water, you
must allow the lters to dry separately before reassembly. When reassembling, the Honeycomb
Filter goes in rst, then the Foam Filter, and nally the thin Mesh Filter. Lastly, reattach the rim to the
FILTER ASSEMBLY.
Cleaning the IONIZATION NEEDLE
Using a cotton swab, apply a small amount of clear alcohol-based cleaner (or rubbing alcohol)
to the IONIZATION NEEDLE. You may also use compressed air to blow off any dust that may
accumulate near the IONIZATION NEEDLE.
Cleaning the ARC CELL
Using a compressed air or a vacuum cleaner, blow and/or vacuum the dust out of the ARC CELL.
Do not use any liquid to clean the ARC CELL. Do not disassemble the ARC CELL.
Cleaning the PURIFICATION PLATE
Using white vinegar or a solution of equal parts warm water and clear ammonia, soak the
PURIFICATION PLATE for 8-10 hours but do not exceed 12 hours. Using a soft-bristle brush, scrub the
wire mesh to remove debris. Rinse thoroughly. Allow the PURIFICATION PLATE to dry completely
before reinstalling. Use a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol to clean the contacts on the interior of
the unit that touch the PURIFICATION PLATE.
Cleaning the Unit (Interior)
Using a damp cloth, a clear alcohol-based cleaner, compressed air or a vacuum cleaner,
carefully clean the walls and components inside of the unit only after completing the disassembly
procedures found in DISASSEMBLY on pages 12 - 13.
Resetting the “PERFORM CLEANING” Maintenance Reminder
To reset the “PERFORM CLEANING” maintenance reminder, press and hold the REMINDER RESET
BUTTON until the reminder goes away. It will return after 30 days of use.
The unit should be powered OFF and the POWER CORD disconnected whenever
cleaning or servicing.
Review the Disassembly and Assembly Section (Pg. 12-15) before performing and
cleaning and maintenance to prevent damage to the unit.
