REPLACING THE IONIZING WIRES
Instances of the Ionizing Wires breaking are minimal due to the constant tension design and fixed
location of the Ionizing Wire supports. When an Ionizing Wire breaks, the efficiency of the Electronic
Air Cleaner will decrease slightly. However, the unit will continue to operate with a broken Ionizing Wire
as long as the broken wire has not caused a short in the secondary circuit of the unit. Remove all loose
and broken wires as soon as they are identified.
We recommend contacting a qualified HVAC contractor for replacement parts and/or servicing.
Ionizing Wires are supplied in a coiled spring configuration, with a clinch nut on each end of the wire.
Replacement requires a pair of needle nose pliers. Exercise caution in removing any broken wires in
the Ionizing-Collecting Cell. The removal of broken wires will prevent accidental shorting of the cell
and reduce the need for further maintenance.
Use the following procedure when replacing an Ionizing Wire:
1.
Turn Air Cleaner ON/OFF switch to OFF position. Wait 15 seconds. Remove the Front Panel
Assembly and remove the Ionizing-Collecting Cells from the unit.
2.
Carefully remove all remains of the broken wire from the cell.
3.
Grip the new wire at each end with your thumb and index finger. While stretching the wire to
approximately 6”, allow one end of the wire to uncoil between your thumb and index finger.
4.
Place one end of the wire in the slot of the stainless steel wire support located on the Ionizing-
Collecting Cell as viewed from the front of the cell. This support is partially covered by the cell
brace in front of the support.
5.
Grip the other end of the Ionizing Wire with needle nose pliers and insert the terminated end of
the wire into the slot in the wire support on the opposite end of the Ionizing-Collecting Cell.
6.
The wire should have sufficient tension to be self supporting and remain suspended between the
slots in the wire supports.
Maintenance

CLEANING THE AIR FLOW SENSOR
If the air cleaner is installed in a location that is dusty and dirty, the sensor (thermistor) on the AFS can
become coated with dirt and lint. This coating can insulate the AFS and keep it from operating properly.
To clean the thermistor, turn the unit OFF, dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol and carefully insert into
the 3/16” diameter hole located on the front right hand side of the Power Tray Assembly (when facing
the unit). Carefully twirl the cotton swab between your fingers, making sure the tip is lightly in contact
with the gray disc (thermistor), cleaning the insulating coating from the thermistor.
