CAUTION
Burn Hazard.
Can cause personal injury.
Allow cell(s) to cool completely in dishwasher
and at tend of wash cycle or wear protective
gloves.
Washing the cell(s) in your automatic
dishwasher
Hot water can accumulate in the tubes supporting the
collector plates.Tip the cell(s) so these tubes can drain.
IMPORTANT
• Check your dishwasher Owner’s manual. Some
manufacturers do not recommend washing
electronic cell(s) in their dishwashers.
• If the dishwasher has upper and lower arms,
position the cell(s) carefully to allow good
water circulation.
• Be careful to avoid damaging the cell(s) when
placing them in the dishwasher. Broken ionizer
wires or bent collector plates are not covered
under the Warranty.
• Very dirty cell(s), especially from tobacco or
cooking smoke, can discolor the plastic parts
and the lining of some dishwashers.This dis-
coloration is not harmful. To minimize it, wash
the cell(s) more frequently or try a different
brand of detergent.
• Do NOT allow the dishwasher to run through
the dry cycle. This bakes on any contaminants
not removed during the wash cycle and
reduces air cleaner efficiency.
1. Put the cell(s) on the lower rack of the dish-
washer with the airflow arrow pointing up. It may
be necessary to remove the upper rack. Do not
block water flow to the upper arm.
HINT: Lay a few large water glasses between the
spikes on the lower rack, and rest the cell(s) on them
so the spikes do not damage the aluminum collector
blades.
2. Using your regular dishwashing detergent, allow
the dishwasher to run through the complete
wash and rinse cycle. Do not use the dry cycle. To
avoid burns, let the cell(s) cool completely before
removing, or wear protective gloves when remov-
ing the cell(s). Remember that water may be
trapped inside the cell(s) plates. Tip the cell(s) so
these tubes can drain.
3. Wipe the ionizer wires and contact board on the
end of the cell using your thumb and forefinger
with a small, damp cloth.
4. Inspect the dishwasher. You may want to rerun
the wash and/or rinse cycle with the dishwasher
empty if you see dirt or residue from washing the
cell(s). If dirt or residue seems excessive, wash
the cell(s) more often or try a different detergent.
CAUTION
Hazardous Chemical.
Can cause personal injury.
Do not splash detergent solution in eyes.
Washing the cell(s) in a tub
• Wear rubber gloves to avoid prolonged detergent
contact with your skin.
• Keep detergent and solution out of reach
of children.
NOTE: Always wash the cell(s) first, then the prefil-
ter(s), to keep heavy prefilter lint from getting
caught in the cell(s).
1. Use a large enough container, such as a laundry
tub or trash container, to hold one or both cell(s).
NOTE: Sharp corners on the cell(s) can scratch the
surface of a bathtub.
2. Dissolve about three-fourth cup of automatic
dishwasher detergent per cell in enough hot
water to cover the cell(s). If the detergent does
not dissolve readily, or forms a scum on the
water, try another brand, or use softened water.
3. After the detergent has completely dissolved,
place the cell(s) in the container and allow to
soak for 15 to 20 minutes or until water cools.
Agitate them up and down a few times and
remove. Repeat steps 2 and 3, if necessary, for
very dirty cells.
4. Next, wash the prefilter(s) the same way. Empty
and rinse the wash container.
5. Rinse the cell(s) with a hard spray of very hot
water; rinse the tub clean, then fill the tub with
clean hot water and soak for 5 to 15 minutes.
Rinse until the water draining from the cell(s)
and prefilter(s) no longer feels slippery.
6. Soak cell(s) in a final clear water rinse for ten
minutes.
7. Wipe the ionizer wires and contact board on the
end of the cell using your thumb and forefinger
with a small, damp cloth.
Replacing electronic air cleaner
components
1. Inspect the cell(s) for broken ionizer wires and
bent collector plates. Repair, as necessary, or call
your contractor for service.
2. Slide the prefilter(s) into the upstream prefilter
guides.
3. Slide the air cleaner cell(s) in so the air flow
arrow points downstream and the handle(s) face
outward.
4. Firmly close the access door.
