CAUTION
Do not splash the detergent solution in eyes, and
avoid prolonged contact with skin. Keep detergent
and solution out of reach of children.
3. Before
placing cells in washing container, pour
in the detergent. Use approximately 3/4 of a cup per
cell if the container is about the size of the cell, or
proportionately
more
if the container is larger. Add
enough very hot water to cover the cell or cells.
4. After
the
detergent
has
completely
dissolved,
place the electronic
cell (or cells) in the container.
5. Soak
the
cells
for
15
to 20
minutes,
slosh
several times, and remove.
6. Next,
wash
the
protective
screen
by sloshing
it several times in the detergent solution. Drain the
wash container. The protective screen can be washed
off with a garden hose or vacuumed, if more convenient
than washing in the detergent solution.
IMPORTANT
Do not pull the electronic cells into the detergent
solution after washing the protective screens in it.
Lint from the protective screens may get caught
in the cells.
7. Rinse
the cells and screens
with a fine spray.
8. Fill the wash
container
with clean hot water
and soak the cells and screens for 5 to 15 minutes.
9. Remove
the cells and screens and let the water
drain
from
them.
If the water draining from them
feels
slippery,
detergent
still remains.
Repeat
the
rinsing until the water
from
them
no
longer feels
slippery. Inspect for cleanliness. Allow water to drip
from cells.
10. When
cells and screens
have been
washed and
rinsed, check cells for broken wires and bent collector
plates, replace them in the air cleaner, and return the
system to normal operation.
NOTE:
If you have just washed the cells, they may be
replaced in the cabinet even though they are still
wet. In this case the indicator light may not come on
during the normal 2 hour drying period. If annoying
arcing occurs during this period, the electronic air
cleaner may be switched OFF.
IMPORTANT
Be sure
the cells are properly oriented—airflow
arrows pointing away from grille.
WASHING
THE GRILLE
The grille may require washing periodically, though
not as frequently as the electronic cells and prefilter.
When
it appears
dirty, it may
be disassembled,
and
cleaned by sloshing in a solution of mild detergent in
warm water.
IONIZING WIRE REPLACEMENT
The fine tungsten
ionizing wires, in the charging
section
of the electronic
cell may
break or become
damaged.
Inspect
the
cell from
the
upstream
side
after washing to make sure that none of the wires are
broken or out of position. During operation, a broken
or deformed
wire generally causes a short to ground,
possibly with visible arcing or sparking. This condition,
or any other short in the ionizing section of the cell,
will cause the indicator light to go out.
Broken
wires must be replaced as soon as possible.
Remove
all parts of the broken
wire.
If necessary,
the cell may be temporarily used with one wire missing.
See PARTS
LIST,
page
19 for part number of the
replacement wire. Wires come cut to length with eyelets
at each end for easy installation in the electronic cell.
To replace ionizing wire:
1. Use care to avoid damage to the spring connector
or
other
parts
of the cell during
the installation.
2. Hook
one
end
of the ionizing wire over
the
spring connector at one end of the cell.
3. Hold the opposite eyelet with a needlenose pliers
and stretch the wire the length of the cell. Depress
the opposite
spring connector
and hook the eyelet
over it.

CAUTION
1. During the troubelshooting procedures, dangerous line voltage circuits are exposed. Use care to avoid the
hazard of electrical shock or damage to equipment.
2. Although not lethal, the high voltage output of the power supply can produce a painful shock. Use caution
here too.
