Additional Information WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS ELECTRONIC AIR PURIFIER WHEN OXYGEN TANKS ARE BEING USED OR IN THE PRESENCE OF COMBUSTIBLE GASES. IMPORTANT NOTES: G No air cleaner can protect against the harmful effects of secondhand smoke. G Place or mount the Air Purifier near a standard electrical outlet. Do not block either the air intake or outlet grill. G Never place your Air Purifier on soft surfaces (such as bed, sofas or carpet), near computers or next to sources of heat (such as stove tops, ovens, etc.) G Make sure the front grill is securely locked in place. G A safety switch is installed behind the grill of your electronic Air Purifier. If the grill is not properly secured in place, the unit will not operate. If your unit fails to operate, remove the front grill and reinstall it, being sure that the lower right-hand side of the grill (next to the control panel) is firmly locked in place. G Plug the power cord into the nearest available standard electrical outlet. (See data label on bottom of your Air Purifier for electrical specifications and power consumption.) G Do not use an extension cord to supply power to your Air Purifier. G Do not place open flames (including candles) directly in front If wall mounted, remove unit from wall. 2. Loosen the front grill retainer screw at the front of the cabinet bottom. Press in the lock (half-moon) on the left side and remove the grill (fig. 3). 3. Pull the Collector Cell out of the cabinet by using the two 3 4 MAINTENANCE of the air purifier. Cleaning the Cabinet You can clean the Air Purifier cabinet with mild, non-abrasive cleanser and a soft cloth. IMPORTANT: Unplug the unit from its electrical power source. Do not spray cleansers or furniture polish into louvers or grill areas. Cleaning the Electronic Collector Cell IMPORTANT: Do not try to clean the Collector Cell by inserting a cloth, brush, or other device between the cell plates. The Collector Cell should be cleaned with Oreck's Assail-A-Cell® cleaner or using soap and water (see Step 6, in this section). Inserting objects in the Collector Cell may damage it. Indicator light is green under normal operation and flashes red when the Collector Cell requires cleaning. The red "WASH CELL" light will flash or illuminate when it is time to clean your Collector Cell. Your Air Purifier is still filtering the air when the red light illuminates. It is not necessary to wait for the red "WASH CELL" light before cleaning the Collector Cell. Even if the "WASH CELL" light is not red, Oreck recommends cleaning the Collector Cell every 4 to 8 weeks, or more often if snapping becomes frequent. Cleaning your Oreck Air Purifier is a snap too... and a must for efficient operation. To clean proceed as follows: 1. Turn the unit off and unplug it from the electric power source. 4. Snap off the Charcoal Odor Absorber from the back of the Collector Cell. Change as necessary for continued odor removal (fig. 5). 5. Slide off Pre-Filter. This can be cleaned with the Collector Cell and reused (fig. 6). NOTE: Handle the Electronic Collector Cell with care. Damaged metal plates and/or broken wires will cause the Air Purifier to malfunction. (Do not wash the disposable Charcoal Odor Absorber.) 6. Oreck's Assail-A-Cell® cleaner is an excellent way to clean an Electronic Collector Cell. Be sure to spray between each cell plate and cover every surface. Allow product to soak for a few minutes, not allowing it to dry. Rinse thoroughly with water. For extremely heavy deposits, repeat the process. If you prefer not to use Oreck's Assail-A-Cell® cleaner, you may also decide to soak the Electronic Collector Cell in warm water in a kitchen sink or bathtub. Mild dish detergent (powder or liquid) may be added to the water to help break down the dirt on the Collector Cell. The Collector Cell should be allowed to soak for two to three hours. Tobacco smoke (tar) is especially hard to remove from the Collector Cell. If the Purifier has been cleaning tobacco smoke, the Collector Cell may need to soak longer, or it may need to be cleaned a second time. In either case, the Collector Cell should be allowed to air dry before re-inserting it. Oreck does not recommend the use of heated or compressed air as part of the drying process. 5
