Cleaning the Truman Cell™

Note: The Truman Cell™ may require more frequent cleaning if “arcing” occurs. Arcing is a sharp snapping sound that occurs when large particles of dust are collected in the Truman Cell™. If prolonged or continuous arcing occurs the Truman Cell™ should be cleaned.

IMPORTANT: Do not try to clean the Truman Cell™ by inserting a cloth, brush, or other object between the cell plates.

1Unplug the air purifier.

2Remove the top cover by sliding forward and lifting off.

3Pull the Truman Cell™ straight up and out of the cabinet by using the two small handles on each side of the Truman Cell™.

4Based on the frequency of arcing or how dirty the cell has become, perform one or both of the following steps:

5If the cell is arcing frequently a “quick clean” can be performed by gently wiping a dry cotton swab along the length of each of the four wires near the front of the cell to remove any built-up particles from the wires. Go to Step 9.

6For a more complete cleaning, place the Truman Cell™ in a sink, bathtub, dishwasher or other loca- tion where cleaner and contaminants will rinse away without damaging surfaces and proceed to Step 7. Note: If placed in dishwasher, do not insert dishwasher tongs directly into the collector cell as this may cuase damage to the wires or cell plates.

7Spray Oreck Assail-a-Cell®cleaner thoroughly between each cell plate and cover each surface. Allow the cleaner to soak for a few minutes and rinse with clean water. Do not let the cleaner dry on the Truman Cell™.

An alternative method to clean the Truman Cell™ is to soak it in warm water for two to three hours. Mild liquid dish detergent may be used to help break down dirt. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Note: Do not insert objects to clean the Truman Cell™.

Tough residue such as tar from tobacco smoke may need additional applications or longer soaking.

8Allow to dry completely outside of the air purifier. Do not use heated or compressed air to dry. IMPORTANT: Do not reinsert the Truman Cell™ until it is completely dry. If the “Check Collector Cell” light blinks red after replacing the Truman Cell™, then the Truman Cell™ may still be wet. Remove the Truman Cell™ and allow it to finish drying.

9Place the Truman Cell™ back into the unit by sliding it straight down into the slots. The Truman Cell™ is specially designed so that it can be inserted only in one direction.

10Replace the top cover, sliding back to lock into place. Be sure the top cover and front grill are securely closed or the unit will not operate.

11Reset the “Check Collector Cell” timer by holding down the Air Revitalizer button until the “Check Collector Cell” light blinks three times.
