CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
The prefilter and collecting cell must be washed on a regular
basis for the Air Cleaner to function at its peak efficiency.
The frequency of cleaning will vary from one environment to
another, therefore the cell should be checked monthly to
determine cleaning schedule. On average, the cell should be
washed every 2-3 months.

2. Rinse prefilter and cell, and spray completely with DAX
Detergent (or non-chlorine, non-corrosive, non-abrasive,
non-ammonia liquid household detergent). Let stand for
5 minutes. Rinse well with hot water (120°F / 49°C
maximum). Repeat process 3 times.
Cell arcing excessively
• Cell dirty or large lint ball/hair

4. For drying, place the cell on a 45° angle on one end,
with the arrow pointing sideways, and let stand for 10-24

• Unit not sitting on flat surface
• Cell is in backward (Arrow on cell
should point towards fan blower)
5. If arcing or snapping occurs or the lights do not come on
when the cell is placed back in the unit and turned on,
then remove the cell and allow to dry longer.
The two Operation Lights, located behind the front grill, are
also used as the high voltage fault indicator. If the fan is
operating, but the lights do not come on, then there is a
problem in the high voltage circuit. To determine what the
problem is, turn the Air Cleaner OFF and remove the
collecting cell. Close the lid and turn the Air Cleaner back
ON. If the lights come back on, the problem lies in the cell.
Check the cell for wetness from washing or look for a broken
ionizing wire(s) or bent cell plate(s).
