CAUTION - READ BEFORE OPERATION
• Remove the plastic cover from the activated carbon fi lter
and install in unit.
• Position the pre-fi lter at the rear of the unit (closest to the
electronic cell) and the carbon fi lter at the front (where air
comes out.)
• Make sure the electronic cell is properly placed in the
cabinet (airfl ow arrow on the end plate should be pointing
toward the fan).
• Make sure that the top cover and carbon air fi lter are
securely in place.
• This unit is equipped with a grounded plug for your
protection against shock hazards and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded receptacle.
• Electronic air cleaners should NOT be placed in any area
where potentially explosive gases or vapors exist, nor
should they be used in wet environments. These units
should be operated in air-conditioned environments
LOCATION
The best location is a position closest to the concentration of
tobacco smoke or dust producing activities.
Position the unit so that the airfl ow around the intake and
discharge grilles is not blocked. For best results, do not
place the intake grille (rear) closer than 8" (18 cm) 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 airfl ow 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 benefi ts 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.
CONTROLS
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 -MED - LOW.
Plus, an indicator lamp shows when the cleaner is on and
operating normally.
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.
The indicator lamp may fl icker on and off and is no cause for
alarm. Should the lamp completely fail to come on, review
"BEFORE OPERATION" and "TROUBLESHOOTING"
sections.
During the initial use, random "snapping" sounds may be
heard. This is normal and the unit may continue to make
these noises the fi rst 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.
