Operating your Friedrich air cleaner
CONTROLS | LOCATION |
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
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
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.
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.
