GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance is required to insure that your Fresh Air by
EcoQuest operates properly. The unit will display a PERFORM
MAINTENANCE reminder when it is time to perform regular
maintenance. If you are operating your unit in a severely polluted
environment, cleaning of the unit, purifier plate, and catalytic
screen should be done more frequently. Shown here are basic
procedures that should be carried out to keep your unit running at
top performance.
CAUTION: Unplug the unit before performing any maintenance
procedures.
Cleaning the Case:
Wipe the unit with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use
chemicals or solvents. Vacuum the front and rear grills periodically
to remove any lint buildup.
Rear lint-screen / Catalytic Screen cleaning:
You have two options to clean the lint screen and catalytic screen:
1. When visibly dirty, simply remove the rear lint screen and the
catalytic screen from the unit (see pages 10 - 13) and, with a
hand-held vacuum, remove the heavy particulate from both.
This method will extend the life of the filter and ensure proper
function of the catalytic screen.

2. When visibly dirty, remove the rear lint screen and catalytic
screen from the unit (see pages 10 - 13) and wash in hot water,
brushing gently with a toothbrush to remove particulate. Allow to
dry prior to re-installing. Note: do not use soap - it will damage
the carbon material in the lint screen. If an EcoHelp filter has
been installed, replace if necessary - do not wash.
Rear lint-screen replacement:
Contact your EcoQuest Dealer for replacement lint screens.
Purifier Plate:
Remove the rear filter (see pages 10 - 13). Carefully remove the
Ecotech purifier plate from the card cage by grasping the middle of
the edge nearest to you, and slowly pull it straight out.
Clean the purifier plate with hot water and EcoQuest’s ecoH
cleaner (following the glass cleaner instructions on the package) or
you can use ammonia and water. Dry completely using a hair dryer
if necessary. Reinstall purifier plate. Be sure to check that the
electrical tabs are in contact with the metal screens on the plate.
The unit will display a REPLACE PLATE message if the purification
plate needs to be replaced.
