Checking Air Cleaner Operation
With all components in place, turn on the air cleaner switch
and energize the power supply. Check the following points of
operation:
1. ON indicator is lit. CHECK indicator comes on if there is
a problem with the high voltage power supply.
2. With the air cleaner energized, push the Test button. A
snapping sound indicates that the collector voltage is
present on the cell. CHECK indicator comes on when
the Test button is held down.
3. If operation is not as described, refer to the Trouble-
shooting section.

SERVICE

CAUTION
Sharp Edges.
Can cause personal injury.
Wear protective gloves to prevent cuts from sharp
metal edges.
Cleaning Cells and Pre-filters
To assure optimum performance from the air cleaner, the cells
and pre-filters must be cleaned regularly, every one to six
months. WASH indicator on some models lights to indicate it
is time to wash the pre-filters and cells.
IMPORTANT
Do not wash the pre-filter in an automatic dish-
washer.Vacuum or brush the pre-filter or soak it in a
tub.
Cleaning Cells in Automatic Dishwasher
CAUTION
Burn Hazard.
Can cause personal injury.
Hot water can accumulate in tubes supporting collec-
tor plates; tip cells to drain water from tubes.
Allow cells to cool completely in dishwasher at end of
wash cycle or wear protective gloves to avoid burns.
F58G COMMERCIAL DUCT MOUNTED ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER1
IMPORTANT
— Check your dishwasher Owner's Guide. Some manu-
facturers do not recommend washing electronic cells
in their dishwasher.
— If your 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 can discolor the plastic parts and lining
of some dishwashers. This discoloration is not harm-
ful. To minimize it, wash the cells more frequently or
try a different brand of dishwasher 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 effi-
ciency.
To clean cells in dishwasher:
1. Put the cells on the lower rack of the dishwasher 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 cells on them so the
spikes do not damage the aluminum collector blades.
2. Using regular dishwashing detergent, allow the dish-
washer 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 protec-
tive gloves when removing the cells. Remember that
water may be accumulated inside the cells. Tip the cells
so the 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. Rerun the wash and/or rinse
cycle with the dishwasher empty if there is dirt or resi-
due from washing the cells. If dirt or residue seems
excessive, wash the cells more often or try a different
detergent.
Washing Cells in Container
CAUTION
Hazardous Chemical.
Can cause personal injury.
Do not splash the detergent solution in eyes.
Wear rubber gloves to avoid prolonged contact with
detergent on skin.
Keep detergent and solution out of reach of children.
NOTE: Always wash cells first before pre-filters to keep
heavy pre-filter lint from getting caught in cells.
1. Use large enough container to hold one or both cells.
2. Dissolve about 3/4 cup of automatic dishwasher deter-
gent per cell in enough hot water to cover the cells. If
detergent does not dissolve readily, or forms scum on
the water, try another brand, or use softened water.
3. After detergent is completely dissolved, place cells in
container and let soak for approximately 15 minutes.
Agitate up and down a few times and remove. See
Fig. 7.
