5. Place each in sink, bathtub or other location where cleaner can cover every surface.
6. Spray Oreck Assail-a-Cell®® cleaner between each Cell Plate and cover each surface. Allow
the cleaner to soak for a few minutes but do not let it dry. Thoroughly rinse the Truman
Cell®® with clean water.
An alternative method to clean the Truman Cell®® is to rinse or soak it in warm water for
loose debris. Mild liquid dish detergent in water may also be used to help break down
tough dirt and residue. Thoroughly rinse the Truman Cell®® with clean water.
POST
Note: To prevent damage to the components of the Truman Cell®, do not put in dishwasher or use a cotton swab.
Tough residue such as tar from tobacco smoke may need additional cleaning or longer soaking.
7. Shake excess water from the Truman Cell®® to speed up drying time. Do not use heated or
compressed air to dry.
8. Reassemble the Wire Assembly and Truman Cell®® by inserting the post located on the outside
edges of the Wire Assembly into the recessed channels of the Truman Cell®®. After guiding the
post into the recessed channels, slide the Wire Assembly until it locks into place.
9. Place the Truman Cell®® back into the unit by sliding it straight in and turning each knob to its locking
position. The Truman Cell®® is specially designed so that it can only be inserted in one direction.
10. Close the Cover securely.

DRYING THE TRUMAN CELL
Note: The Truman Cell® must be completely dry after cleaning to operate properly. A drying
mode is available to help remove any residual moisture. While in this mode, the fan will be
running on Medium speed and no power will be supplied to the Truman Cell
detects that the Truman Cell
®
is completely dry, it will return to its original operating settings
®
. Once the unit
and function as normal.
"DRY MODE" OPERATION
If the power supply detects that the Truman Cell®® is wet, it shuts down power to the cell and causes
the Collector Cell light to blink rapidly.
1. While the collector cell light is blinking, press and hold the power button to initiate “Dry Mode”
2. Next, the following will all happen simultaneously:
• The lights directly above and below the power button will flash 3 times.
• The unit will switch to medium speed.
• The Collector Cell light will start to blink in a slow pattern.
4. Once in “Dry Mode”
• The unit will run for 60 minutes and then attempt to reset the power supply to the Truman Cell®.
• If the power supply successfully restarts, the unit will return to its original speed and run as normal.
• If not successful, it will go through the same process up to two more times.
• If still not successful after the third try, the cell is likely damaged or is shorting out due to the
presence of a foreign object; it will return to the original speed and the Collector Cell light will
blink with a rapid blink pattern indefinitely until the unit is reset.
