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 you the luxury of clean air living in your home or office.
Airborne particles and odors are removed from air passing through the unit by the process of electrostatic precipitation and an activated charcoal odor absorber. The fragrance feature releases a pleasant aroma with the newly cleaned air.
How Your Oreck Air Purifier Works
1.
Polluted air enters the Air Purifier through the front grill. As the air is pulled through, a Pre-Filter helps trap large particles (hair, lint, etc.).
2. Positive Charging Wires electrostatically charge smaller particles (dust, smoke, pollen, etc.).
3. The positively charged particles then enter the negatively charged Electronic Collector Cell, where the aluminum plates attract and retain the particles and subsequently destroy bacteria, mold, viruses, and fungi. 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 freshen the air. It provides a pleasant, clean smell. The Air Revitalizer is designed to be left on continually to provide a clean scent.
The negative ions created by the Air Revitalizer may also combine with dust, causing the dust to fall out of the air feature gives you an easy, centralized place to wipe away dust. You can also turn off the Air Revitalizer (Ionizer) to limit any dust collecting around the Air Purifier.
Finally through the top grill.

Oreck Air Purifier Placement and Start-Up
1. Open box and check parts. Box should include one Professional Air Purifier, Oreck fragrance cartridge, Charcoal Odor Absorber and User’s Guide.
2. 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.

controls the louvers and enables you to direct airflow to desired areas.
NOTE: You may notice an occasional sharp snapping sound coming from your unit. This is a normal occurrence called “arcing” and results as large particles of dust are collected in the Electronic Collector Cell. Should prolonged or continuous arcing occur, the Electronic Collector Cell should be thoroughly cleaned and dried completely

IMPORTANT NOTES:
No air cleaner can protect against the harmful effects of secondhand smoke.
Place or mount the Air Purifier near a standard electrical outlet. Do not block either the air intake or outlet grill.
Never place your Air Purifier on soft surfaces (such as bed, sofas or carpet), near computers or next to sources of heat (such as stove tops, ovens, etc.)

Cleaning the Electronic Collector Cell
IMPORTANT: Do not try to clean the Collector Cell by inserting a cloth, brush, or other device between the cell plates. The Collector Cell should be cleaned with Oreck’ or using soap and water (see Step 6, in this section). Inserting objects in the Collector Cell may damage it.
Indicator light is green under normal operation and flashes red when the Collector Cell requires cleaning. The red "WASH CELL" light will flash or illuminate when it is time to clean your Collector Cell. Your Air Purifier is still filtering the air when the red light illuminates.
It is not necessary to wait for the cleaning the Collector Cell. Even if the “WASH CELL” light is not red, Oreck recommends cleaning the Collector Cell every 4 to 8 weeks, or more often if snapping becomes frequent.
Cleaning your Oreck Air Purifier is a snap too... and a must for
ficient operation.

cleaner is an excellent way to clean an Electronic Collector Cell. Be sure to spray between each cell plate and cover every surface.
Allow product to soak for a few minutes, not allowing it to dry. Rinse thoroughly with water. For extremely heavy deposits, repeat the process.
If you prefer not to use Oreck’s Assail-A-Cell

cleaner, you may also decide to soak the Electronic Collector Cell in warm water in a kitchen sink or bathtub. Mild dish detergent (powder or liquid) may be added to the water to help break down the dirt on the Collector Cell.
The Collector Cell should be allowed
to soak for two to three hours.
obacco smoke (tar) is especially hard to remove from the
T Collector Cell. If the Purifier has been cleaning tobacco smoke, the Collector Cell may need to soak longer, or it may need to be cleaned a second time.
In either case, the Collector Cell should be allowed to air dry before re-inserting it. Oreck does not recommend the use of heated or compressed air as part of the drying process.
