a cold water detergent, follow instructions included with
the detergent.
NOTE: Be sure to avoid prolonged skin contact with the
solution. Do not splash solution in eyes.
 Soak the cells in the solution for up to 15 minutes;
agitate the cells up and down. See Fig. 12.
Fig. 12. Agitate the cells in the water.
 Remove the cells from the detergent solution; spray with
hot water as a prerinse, if desired and place cells in
another container of clear hot water (150ºF to 190ºF
[66ºC to 88ºC]) for final rinsing. Rinse the cells for five to
ten minutes.
 Remove the cells from the rinse water. Allow the cells to
drain and dry before energizing them. For optimum
water drainage from tubes, stand the cell on one of its
corners.
 Wipe ionizer wires to remove any deposits remaining on
the wires.
 Check the collection plates of the cells for any detergent
residue. Repeat the rinse process if there is any residue
remaining. Buildup can reduce the F57 efficiency.
About Discolored Aluminum
Occasionally, the cell or prefilter can seem stained after the
soaking process. When the stain is black or very dark, it is
probably dirt residue and the cell should be rewashed.
White detergent residue can also affect the F57 efficiency
and should be rinsed off. When yellowing appears, it is
probably staining from tobacco smoke or other airborne
dirt. Moderate discoloration does not affect the F57
efficiency.
Cleaning the Cells Using Air
Pressure, Water Pressure or Low
Pressure Steam
The following alternative methods can be used to clean
some contaminants from the F57 cells. See Fig. 13. To
prevent damage to the prefilter, do not use pressure or
steam methods on the prefilter.
• High Pressure Air or Water. Care should be taken to avoid
damage to the cells. If detergent is required with the
high pressure water, use an alkaline base detergent. Do
not use an acid detergent.
• Steam. Extreme care must be taken when steam
cleaning to avoid warping or bending the collector
plates of the cells. Remember that the cells are hot after
steam cleaning and care must be taken to avoid burns.
Use only low pressure or wet steam.
NOTE: Do not use steam at pressure greater than 5 psi
(35 kPa) or temperature hotter than 250° F (121°
C).
Fig. 13. It can be necessary to steam or use high pressure
to remove collected cells contamination.
