How the electronic air cleaner works First, large particles (lint, hair) are caught by the prefilters. Then, as the dirty air passes through the intense high voltage electric field surrounding 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 field. Since opposites attract, the charged particles stick to the collector plates, which have an opposite electric charge. The air leaving the air cleaner contains very few particles.

These particles are generated by normal household activities, and also enter the house from outside. That is why we recommend that you use the air cleaner as much as possible. 69-0764-2 14
