HOW THE AIR CLEANER WORKS
The enclosed fan circulates the air up through the bottom of the electronic air cleaner and out through the four outlet grilles. The ionizing section of the collecting cell contains many fine ionizing wires that charge the incoming airborne particles. The charged particles move into the collecting plate area and are trapped to the plates (like a magnet attracts and collects iron filings).
The cleaned air is then drawn through a charcoal filter to assist in removal of unpleasant odors. The cleaned and purified air is discharged to recirculate through your building.
White Dust (Lint)
An Electronic Air Cleaner is designed to collect two major types of contaminants: ➀ Irritants (Pollens, Spores, Molds, Bacteria, etc.) and ➁ Black Soiling Contaminants (Dirt and Smoke particles).
The residue on the collecting plates of an electronic air cleaner is black, indicating it is removing dirt from the air stream. After installing an air cleaner you may notice white dust (typically, long linty particles or fibers – from carpets, cotton materials or drapery fabrics). This material is not collected by the air cleaner because it does not contain the irritants or soiling contaminants listed above or settles out of the air before reaching the air cleaner. The presence of white dust does not indicate an air cleaner requires service.

Carbon (Charcoal) Filters
Odors are gas molecules, not particles. They cannot be removed by an Electronic Air Cleaner or by any other filtration media designed to remove airborne particles. However, some gases can be absorbed by an activated carbon filter or diluted with fresh outdoor air. When odors are present, the addition of charcoal filters will neutralize odors, such as cooking odors, pet odors, cigar and cigarette odors, ozone, etc. Optional charcoal filters are available for your Air Cleaner. Refer to the parts list for the charcoal filter part number for your Air Cleaner. Charcoal filters require replacement. They cannot be washed. While there is no rule of thumb for how often they should be changed, you can use your best judgement based on the odors you perceive in your environment.
