Turn the unit on by turning the On/Off switch to the desired speed. (Max Clean, High, Quiet Clean - Figure 4). Your electronic air cleaner is designed for continuous operation - peak efficiency is obtained if the air cleaner remains on constantly. The unit is equipped with a Power Boost switch to provide maximum cleaning efficiency of indoor air that is excessively dirty. Simply move the rocker switch located in the control panel (Figure 4) from the Normal to the Power Boost position. Although you will not hear a difference, the Power Boost position actually increases the electrical charge being applied to the dirty air and provides maximum collection efficiency. The unit can be operated in the Power Boost position at any of the three fan speeds. °RECK POWER BOOST NORMA I aim CLEAN AIR QUIET CLEAN HIGH MAX CLEAN FAN ONLY OFF Figure 4 MAINTENANCE An operating light is located in the control panel and indicates that the unit is operating properly (Figure 4). The "Fan Only" switch is provided to assist in the drying cycle after cleaning the cell (see `To Clean Cell", page 4). The light does not come on during the fan cycle because the cell is not activated . NOTE: You may notice an occasional, infrequent sharp snapping sound coming from your unit. This is a normal occurrence called "arcing" and results as large particles of dust are collected in the ionizing-collecting cell. Should prolonged or continuous arcing occur, the ionizing-collecting cell should be thoroughly cleaned and dried. (See "To Clean Cell".) CARE OF CABINET You should treat the cabinet of your air cleaner as you would any other piece of fine furniture. Soft cloths and furniture polish will keep it clean and attractive for many years. The front grille can be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment or wiped with a soft cloth. ELECTRONIC CELL After several weeks of collecting dirt, dust, pollen, and other pollutants, the electronic cell of your unit will need to be cleaned. TO REMOVE CELL FOR CLEANING Turn off the air cleaner and unplug it from the electrical power source. Remove the cabinet top by lifting up and lift out the cell using the flip-up handle. (Figure 5) 3
