INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your choice of the Kenmore Electrostatic Air Cleaner.
Your new Air Cleaner System quickly and effectively cleans and revitalizes
indoor air electrostatically, reducing most commonly found air pollutants
such as tobacco smoke, pollen, household dust, pet dander, even mold
spores. Designed for outstanding owner convenience, the air cleaner
features a washable pre-filter and collecting cell, so there are no filters to
buy and replace. Four cleaning power levels let you match the Air
Cleaner’s performance to your special needs. All operating functions are
easily set and adjusted on the well-lighted, user-friendly LCD control panel.
For maximum performance, we highly recommend that you operate the
Electrostatic Air Cleaner in the following manner:
• 24 hours a day
» Ionizer ON for the first day
• Ionizer OFF after first day

HOW IT WORKS
Dirty air is drawn through the front grill and passes through a 3-stage
cleaning system (See Fig. 1).
Stage 1
The washable Pre-filter prevents larger particles from passing through into
the Collecting Cell.
Stage 2
The Collecting Cell has a 2-part function. First, the dirt particles not trapped
by the Pre-filter are electrically charged by fine ionizing wires. Second, the
charged particles are then attracted to and collected by the Collector Plates.
Dirt, pollen and smoke particles are captured and held by the collector
plates in the cell. These electrically grounded plates hold the dirt until the
cell is removed and washed.
Stage 3
The Ionizer, when turned ON, adds negative ions to the exiting stream of
clean air. This function provides additional air freshening and revitalization.
