Cleaning the Collector Cell

Note: The collector cell may require more frequent cleaning if “arcing”
occurs. Arcing is a sharp snapping sound that occurs when large particles
of dust are collected in the collector cell. If prolonged or continuous
arcing occurs the collector cell should be cleaned.

IMPORTANT: Do not try to clean the collector cell by inserting
a cloth, brush, or other object between the cell plates.

To remove the collector cell, turn the yellow latches counterclockwise.
Pull straight out by the black handle.

Place collector cell in sink, bathtub, or other location where cleaner and
contaminants will rinse away without damaging surfaces.

Spray Oreck Assail-A-Cell

cleaner thoroughly

between each cell plate. Allow the cleaner to soak for a few minutes and
rinse with clean water. Do not let the cleaner dry on the collector cell.

An alternative method to clean the collector cell
is to soak it in warm water for two to three hours.
Mild liquid dish detergent may be used to help
break down dirt. Rinse thoroughly with water.
Note: Do not put in dishwasher or insert objects
to clean the collector cell. Do not wash the
collector cell with bleach or other abrasive cleaners.

Tough residue such as tar from tobacco smoke
may need additional applications or longer soaking.

Allow to dry completely outside of the air purifier.
Do not use heated or compressed air to dry.
IMPORTANT: Do not reinsert the collector cell
until it is completely dry. If the “Check Collector
Cell” light blinks red after replacing the collector cell,
then the collector cell is still wet. Remove the collector
cell and allow it to finish air drying.

Place the collector cell back into the air purifier by sliding it
straight into the cabinet. Lock the yellow latches by turning
clockwise.

Close the cabinet door securely.

Cleaning the Pre-Filter

Note: The pre-filter is located under the collector cell. You must remove the
collector cell first by following step 1 in the above procedure.

Grasp the blue handle located in the middle of the pre-filter basket and
pull the pre-filter straight up and out of the cabinet.

Lightly brush the surface to loosen the dirt and wash the filter in warm
water. Do not bend or twist the filter during cleaning.

Thoroughly rinse the pre-filter and let it air dry completely before placing it
back in the cabinet. Do not use heated or compressed air as part of the drying process.

Place the pre-filter back into the unit and then replace the collector cell by following step 4 in the above procedure.

Close the cabinet door securely.
