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.
• This unit is equipped with a grounded plug for your
protection against shock hazards and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded receptacle.
• Electronic air cleaners should NOT be placed in any
area where potentially explosive gases or vapors exist,
nor should they be used in wet environments.
LOCATION
The best location is a position closest to the concentration
of tobacco smoke or dust producing activities.
Position the unit so that the airflow around the intake and
discharge grilles is not blocked. For best results, do not place
the intake grille (rear) closer than 18 cm (8") from a wall.
Provide a clear, unobstructed path for the discharge air.
The farther the discharge air travels, the greater the
effectiveness of the air cleaner. For greater comfort, position
the air cleaner so that the discharge air does not cause
uncomfortable drafts.
To use a room air cleaner most effectively in rooms that
share an open doorway or archway, position the unit near
the common opening and direct the airflow into the adjacent
room to promote good air circulation.
ECONOMICAL CLEAN AIR
The Friedrich electronic air cleaner costs no more to operate
than a standard household light bulb. The benefits from clean
air far outweigh the low operating costs of continuous
cleaning. Remember, the more you operate your electronic
air cleaner, the cleaner your air will be.
CONTROLS
All controls for the Friedrich electronic air cleaner are located
on the top of the unit and are accessible through an opening
in the top cover. The controls are OFF - HI -MED - LOW.
Plus, an indicator lamp shows when the cleaner is on and
operating normally.
Generally, HIGH fan speed is used in extreme conditions
for rapid cleaning, such as after a party where there were
many smokers; or for large areas where HIGH fan is required
to circulate the clean air into all areas of the room. MEDIUM
and LOW settings are usually adequate to maintain a clean
air environment.
At initial start-up, the indicator lamp may flicker on and off
and is no cause for alarm. Should the lamp completely fail
to come on, review BEFORE OPERATING and
TROUBLESHOOTING sections.
During the initial use, "snapping" sounds may be heard.
This is normal and the unit may continue to make these
noises the first few days of operation. After the initial break-
in period, only an occasional "snap" will be heard, indicating
the unit is cleaning your air. NOTE: As the air cleaner
electronic cell becomes dirty, it will “snap” more
frequently. When this occurs, you should consider
washing the cell.
