Friedrich Electronic Air Cleaner The Friedrich Electronic Air Cleaner is a self-contained console model consisting of a high voltage DC power supply, electronic cell, 3 speed fan, pre-filter and activated carbon post-filter in a rugged plastic cabinet. It is designed to remove dust, tobacco smoke, pollen, bacteria, and other airborne contaminants from the air.
CAUTION - before operation . . . • Remove the plastic cover from the activated carbon filter and install in unit. • Position the pre-filter at the rear of the unit (closest to the electronic cell) and the carbon filter at the front (side air comes out.) • Make sure the electronic cell is properly placed in the cabinet - airflow arrow on the end plate should be pointing toward the fan. • Make sure that the top cover is securely in place.
How electronic air cleaners work Electronic air cleaners are an extremely efficient, cost effective method of removing indoor air contaminants. Unlike standard media that merely block relatively large particles, electronic air cleaners attract and hold particles so small that an electron microscope is needed to see them. 1 The PRE-FILTER catches lint, hair and large dust particles, as room air is drawn in through the rear grille by the powerful 3-SPEED FAN.
Cleaning (Cont.) CLEANING THE ELECTRONIC CELL 6. If dirt stains or detergent residue remain after washing, it may be necessary to rewash the cell or switch detergent. The simplest method of cleaning the electronic cell is to use an automatic dishwasher. The dishwasher provides the correct cycle of wash, rinse and dry. Water temperatures normally found in dishwashers 150°F to 170°F will not harm the cell. ALTERNATE CELL CLEANING METHOD 1.
Replacing the cell in cabinet After the cell has been washed, check for broken ionizer wires and bent collector plates. If broken wires are observed, return unit to Authorized Warranty Station for wire replacement. If bent collector plates are observed, carefully straighten with a screwdriver or other flat object. BE CERTAIN THAT NO TWO COLLECTOR PLATES ARE TOUCHING AS THIS WILL CAUSE ARCING AND PREVENT THE AIR CLEANER FROM OPERATING PROPERLY.
