Polarized Plug Notice

This product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the polarized plug.

Introduction

The air you breathe is filled with thousands of particles of air pollution. Some of the pollutants like dust and lint are large enough to be visible to the naked eye, but pollutants such as pollen, smoke, germs, bacteria, etc., are microscopic in size. Your Oreck Air Purifier has been designed to capture and destroy visible and invisible pollutants and provide your home or office with the luxury of clean air living.

Airborne particles and odors are removed from air passing through the unit by the process of electrostatic precipitation and an activated charcoal odor absorber.

How Your Oreck Air Purifier Works

Polluted air enters the Air Purifier through the front grill. As

(fig.1)

the air is pulled through, a Pre-Filter helps trap large particles (hair, lint, etc.).

2. A Positive Charging Wire electrostatically charges smaller

particles (dust, smoke, pollen).

3. The positively charged particles then enter the negatively

charged Electronic Collector Cell, where the aluminum plates attract and retain the particles. It works like a powerful magnet and the particles remain until the Electronic Collector Cell is cleaned.

4. The air then passes through a Charcoal Odor Absorber that

helps remove household odors.

5. Next, the Air Revitalizer (Ionizer) releases negative ions to

freshen the air. The negative ions created by the Air Revitalizer may also

combine with dust, causing the dust to fall out of the air. This feature gives you an easy, centralized place to wipe away dust.

Finally, electronically cleaned air passes back into the room through the top grill.

Oreck Air Purifier Placement and Start-Up

1. Your Air Purifier draws in dirty air for cleaning. Place the Air

Purifier in a location where the dirty air is not drawn across your head or body while sitting or sleeping.

2. Insert the Charcoal Odor Absorber. The Charcoal Odor

Absorber is located with the unit in a separate plastic bag. The Charcoal Odor Absorber snaps into the back of the Collector Cell (see instructions with Charcoal Odor Absorber).
