Additional Information
W
ARNING: DO NOT USE THIS ELECTRONIC AIR PURIFIER
WHEN OXYGEN TANKS ARE BEING USED OR IN THE
PRESENCE OF COMBUSTIBLE GASES.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
No air cleaner can protect against the harmful effects of
secondhand smoke.
Place or mount the Air Purifier near a standard electrical
outlet. Do not block either the air intake or outlet grill.
Never place your Air Purifier on soft surfaces (such as bed,
sofas or carpet), near computers or next to sources of heat
(such as stove tops, ovens, etc.)
Make sure the front grill is securely locked in place.
A safety switch is installed behind the grill of your electronic
Air Purifier. If the grill is not properly secured in place, the unit
will not operate. If your unit fails to operate, remove the front
grill and reinstall it, being sure that the lower right-hand side
of the grill (next to the control panel) is firmly locked in place.
Plug the power cord into the nearest available standard
electrical outlet. (See data label on bottom of your Air Purifier
for electrical specifications and power consumption.)
Do not use an extension cord to supply power to your Air
Purifier.
Do not place open flames (including candles) directly in front
4
of the air purifier.
Cleaning the Cabinet
You can clean the Air Purifier cabinet with mild, non-abrasive
cleanser and a soft cloth.
IMPORTANT: Unplug the unit from its
electrical power source. Do not spray cleansers or furniture
polish into louvers or grill areas.
Cleaning the Electronic Collector
Cell
IMPORTANT: Do not try to clean the Collector
Cell by inserting a cloth, brush, or other
device between the cell plates. The Collector
Cell should be cleaned with Oreck’
s
Assail-A-Cell
®
cleaner
or using soap and water (see
Step 6, in this section). Inserting objects in the
Collector Cell may damage it.
Indicator light is green under normal operation and
flashes red when the Collector Cell requires cleaning.
The red "WASH CELL" light will flash or illuminate
when it is time to clean your Collector Cell. Your Air Purifier is
still filtering the air when the red light illuminates.
It is not necessary to wait for the
red "W
ASH CELL" light before
cleaning the Collector Cell. Even if the “WASH CELL” light is not
red, Oreck recommends cleaning the Collector Cell every 4 to 8
weeks, or more often if snapping becomes frequent.
Cleaning your Oreck Air Purifier is a snap too... and a must for
ef
ficient operation.
T
o clean proceed as follows:
1. Turn the unit off and unplug it from the electric power source.

MAINTENANCE
4. Snap off the Charcoal Odor Absorber from the back of the
Collector Cell. Change as necessary for continued odor
removal
(fig. 5).
5. Slide off Pre-Filter. This can be cleaned with the Collector Cell
and reused
(fig. 6).
NOTE: Handle the Electronic Collector Cell with care.
Damaged metal plates and/or broken wires will cause the
Air Purifier to malfunction. (Do not wash the disposable
Charcoal Odor Absorber.)

Oreck’
s Assail-A-Cell
®
cleaner is an excellent way to clean an
Electronic Collector Cell. Be sure to spray between each cell
plate and cover every surface.
Allow product to soak for a few
minutes, not allowing it to dry. Rinse thoroughly with water.
For extremely heavy deposits, repeat the process.
If you prefer not to use Oreck’s Assail-A-Cell
®
cleaner, you
may also decide to soak the Electronic Collector Cell in warm
water in a kitchen sink or bathtub. Mild dish detergent (powder
or liquid) may be added to the water to help break down the
dirt on the Collector Cell.
The Collector Cell should be allowed
to soak for two to three hours.
T
obacco smoke (tar) is especially hard to remove from the
Collector Cell. If the Purifier has been cleaning tobacco
smoke, the Collector Cell may need to soak longer, or it may
need to be cleaned a second time.
In either case, the Collector Cell should be allowed to air dry
before re-inserting it. Oreck does not recommend the use of
heated or compressed air as part of the drying process.
If wall mounted, remove unit from wall.
2. Loosen the front grill retainer screw at the front of the cabinet
bottom. Press in the lock (half-moon) on the left side and
remove the grill
(fig. 3).
3. Pull the Collector Cell out of the cabinet by using the two
