REPLENISH THE DETERGENT SUPPLY
- IMPORTANT -
Replenish the detergent supply in the bottle before
it is completely empty. If detergent is allowed to
dry in the bottom of the hose or bottle, the hose
may become plugged.
Replenish the detergent supply as follows:
1. Remove the stopper and hose from the nearly
empty bottle.
2. Insert the hose into a new, full bottle or refilled
bottle. Make certain that the filter screen at
the end of the hose rests on the bottom of the
bottle.
3. Hang the bottle on its hanger or replace it
where the first bottle was placed.
4. Close the top of the bottle with the stopper
provided to prevent debris from falling into the
detergent.
NOTE: Maximum horizontal distance from the air
cleaner to the detergent bottle is 20 ft. [6.1 m].
Maximum vertical distance from the air cleaner to
the bottle is 10 ft. [3.0 m].
Smokemaster has 1 gal. [3.8 L] bottles and 55 gal.
[208.0 L] drums of liquid detergent available.
MANUALLY CLEANING
CLEANING THE SPRAY SHIELDS
The spray shields in front of the electronic cells
help stop lint and other large particles. It’s a good
idea to check these shields periodically to be sure
they are not overloaded.
At intervals of about one year, the spray shields
should be removed to clean off the accumulated
lint. An overloaded shield screen can restrict the
airflow through the heating or cooling system.
The shields may be cleaned in several ways:
- spray with a garden hose
- vacuum or
- knock the dirt off onto a paper by striking the
screen against the floor.
WASHING THE CELLS OUTSIDE THE
ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER
After routine washing, a noticeable buildup may
remain on some parts of the cells. This is normal
and has only a negligible effect on performance.
After a long period of service, perhaps every one
to three years, the electronic cells should be
removed from the cabinet and given an extra
thorough washing. In many areas, professional
cell cleaning services are available or they may be
returned to Air Quality Engineering for a
professional cleaning.
The spray shields may be washed along with the
electronic cells. Before doing this, however,
remove the lint from the screens to prevent getting
lint caught in the electronic cells.
REMOVE THE CELLS AND THE
SCREENS
1. Use care to avoid damage to the collector
plates when handling and washing the cells.
2. Pull the handle to slide the cells out. Note the
direction of the airflow arrows on the cells.
3. Pull the screen out. Vacuum or dust loose dirt
in the cell or screen tracks.
MANUALLY CLEANING CELLS
Depending on the type of contaminant, different
cleaners will be required. Smokemaster liquid
detergent will be adequate to remove almost any
type of dust, dirt, pollen and tobacco smoke. A
cleaner, such as AQE’s welding detergent part
number 45026, will remove metal oxides such as
those produced by welding. A cleaner, such as
AQE’s degreaser part number 45031, will remove
greases associated with kitchen hoods.
- CAUTION -
Do not splash the cleaning solution in your eyes
and avoid prolonged contact with your skin. Keep
the detergent and solution out of the reach of
children. Be sure to follow the cleaning solution
label instructions for use or storage.
1. Mix the cleaning solution according to the
label instructions.
