OPERATION AND
SERVICE
5. Rinse the cells and prelters with a hard spray of very hot water; rinse the tub clean, then ll the tub with
clean hot water and soak for 5 to 15 minutes. Rinse until the water draining from the cells and prelters no
longer feels slippery.
6. Soak cells and prelters in a nal clear water rinse for ten minutes.
7. Wipe ionizer wires and contact board on end of cell using your thumb and forenger with a small, damp cloth.
Washing in Automatic Dishwasher
NOTE: Move Washing Cells in a Container before washing in an automatic dishwasher.
CAUTION
Burn Hazard.
Can cause personal injury.
Allow cells to cool completely in dishwasher at end of wash cycle or wear protective gloves to avoid burns. Hot
water can accumulate in the tubes supporting collector plates; tip cells so tubes drain.
• Check the dishwasher owner’s manual. Some manufacturers do not recommend washing electronic cells in
their dishwashers.
• If the dishwasher has upper and lower arms, position the cells carefully to allow good water circulation.
• Be careful to avoid damaging the cells when placing them in the dishwasher. Broken ionizer wires or bent
collector plates are not included in the warranty.
• Very dirty cells, especially from tobacco or cooking smoke, can discolor the plastic parts and the lining of some
dishwashers. This discoloration is not harmful. To minimize it, wash the cells 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 efciency.
1. Put the cells on the lower rack of the dishwasher with the airow arrow pointing up. It may be necessary to
remove the upper rack. Do not block water ow to the upper arm.
NOTE: 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 regular dishwasher detergent, allow the dishwasher to run through the complete wash and rinse cycle.
Do not use the dry cycle. To avoid burns, let the cells cool completely before removing, or wear protective
gloves when removing the cells. Remember that water may be trapped inside the cells. Tip the cells so the
tubes can drain.
3. Wipe ionizer wires and contact board on the end of the cell using thumb and forenger with a small, damp
cloth.
4. Inspect the dishwasher. Rerun wash and/or rinse cycle with the dishwasher empty if there is dirt or residue
from washing the cells. If dirt or residue seems excessive, wash cells more often or try a different detergent.
