TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...

Is the power cord plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet?

Air purifier will not run

■Check the following:

Is the air purifier turned on?

Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

Was a regular fuse used? Use a time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker.
