IMPORTANT WARNINGS IMPORTANT WARNINGS

If the product is still makin g excessive noise after cleaning and thoroughly dryin g the collection blades and re -inserting them as described in the “CLEANI NG & MAINTENANCE” section of this manual, turn oﬀ and unplug the unit. After you have turned oﬀ and unplugged the unit, see Diagram B or F for the location of the Wire Cleaning Mechanism. Lif t and lower the Wire Cleaning Mechanism three to four times to thoroughly clean the internal ionizing wires (see Diagram H in the “CLEANING & MAINTENANCE” section). This movement helps to scrape free particles from th e internal ionizing wires. To keep your Ionic Pro® Compact ionic air puriﬁer working prop erly, it will be necessary to clean the colle ction blades after every month of use and the internal ionizing wires after ever y two weeks of use (see “CLEAN ING & MAINTENANCE” and “DEEP CLEANING” se ction of this manual for the proper techniques).

WARNING: After cleaning the

collectio n blades (see “CLEANING & MAINTENANCE” section) with soap and water, allow at least 24 hour s for the collection blades to dry thoroughly before inserting them back into the unit. Water can easily ge t trapped along the collection blades’ many surfaces and edges and dama ge could result if there is any moisture on the collection blades.

You will need to clean your I onic Pro® Compact ionic ai r purier more often if it has been expo sed to heavy pollution.
