Electronic Air Cleaners
tal conditions, like tobacco smoke, cause the Collec-
tion Cells to need to be washed with water. Washing
the Collection Cells is acceptable ONLY if the Collec-
tion Cells have a "200/200-1" embossed or written on
the frame in the vicinity of the manufacturing part num-
ber (Figure 18).
Carefully review BOTH of the Collection Cells for the
"200/200-1" mark. If the "200/200-1" mark is visible on
both Collection Cells, they may be washed. If the "200/
200-1" mark is NOT visible, the Collection Cells can-
not be washed.
Note: The Pre-Filter may also be washed only if the
Collection Cells show a "200/200-1". Follow the same
instructions to wash the Pre-Filter - being sure to tap
gently and wipe off any visible water droplets.
Risk of Damage. Washing Collection Cells that do
NOT have the "200/200-1" mark on them can result in
degradation of the Air Cleaner system. Failure to fol-
low this instruction could result in property damages.

CAUTION
Step 1
If the Collection Cells do have the "200/200-1" mark
on them, they may be washed using a low pressure
water spray, such as a sink sprayer or garden hose.
Residue like tobacco smoke may require warm water
to be removed.
• Do NOT use soap or detergent in cleaning the Col-
lection Cells.
• Do NOT immerse the Collection Cells completely in
water.
• Do NOT place the Collection Cells into a dishwasher
to clean.
• Allow the Collection Cells to dry thoroughly before
installing.
Step 2
After washing, drain as much water as possible from
the Collection Cells.
Step 3
Holding the sides of the Collection Cells, gently tap
the cells on a flat surface to dislodge any water drop-
lets inside the Collection Cells. After tapping, wipe
down the surfaces of the Collection Cells to remove
any visible droplets of water.
Step 4
When there are no visible water droplets left in the
Collection Cells, reinstall them into the Air Cleaner
cabinet. Be sure to fold the Collection Cells handles
flat. Refer to Figure 20.
