ECOKITCHEN ELECTROSTATIC PURIFIER The ECOKITCHEN cleaner, as it is supplied, cannot be used directly, but must be completed by all the other elements that allow air collection and channelling. The machine provides the electrostatic filter section and the deodorising activated carbon section for purification and the electric fan for air intake.
OVERALL DIMENSIONS TRANSPORTATION AND PACKAGING The machine is normally packed with a number of layers of bubble wrap and stretch film. Normally it does not require a pallet as it is already equipped with feet that lift it from the ground and make it easy to move with forklifts equipped with through-brackets.
FIELD OF APPLICATION The machine can be used for: - extracting fumes through a hood placed above the fumes emission point and connected to the machine by means of a channel of suitable dimensions - positioning the machine in a place that does not block normal work operations - positioning in a point that does not cause danger during the handling of goods with transport and lifting equipment (forklifts, bridge cranes ...) - filtration of fumes that the machine is suitable for...
MACHINE INSTALLATION The place where the machine will be placed is under the sole responsibility of those who install and use this equipment. It is therefore necessary to remember that the machine must not endanger people who pass through or work nearby. All risks arising from normal work procedures as well as from extraordinary ones that may occur, must be assessed.

The 2 sections that make up the unit must be positioned on the same plane to connect them together. Bring the units close together, with the outlet of the filtering section in front of the inlet of the ventilation section Apply the supplied adhesive gasket all along the entire perimeter of the filtering section...

Join the 2 sections with the relative screws, using the relative self-centring blocks. Close with a 6mm Allen key. The two joined sections will form a single body and will then be electrically connected together by the special electrical connector.

6. ELECTRIC PANEL INSTALLATION The electrical panel is supplied with brackets for wall mounting and it is connected and wired up to the first junction box by a flexible sheath with a standard length of 3m. Mount the special brackets on the panel and fix it to the wall with suitable plugs. Deliver the supply voltage by the supplied socket, observing the neutral and earth connections.
DISPOSAL For scrapping the machine, proceed according to provisions of law in force in the user's country. In demolition phases (disassembly, transport, etc.) observe the safety provisions in the user manual. Divide the various components of the machine by type of material, grouping them by: - electrical and electronic components - electric cables - plastic materials (sheaths, sound-absorbent material, rubber ..)
8. WORKING PARAMETERS TABLE OF FLOW-EFFICIENCY OF THE MACHINE The purifier is suitable to operate at different air flows adjustable by means of the special potentiometer, equipped with 2 trimmers for adjusting the minimum and maximum points that it can work within. Increasing the air flow above the set maximum point leads to a reduction in filtration efficiency.

9.1 METAL+SPONGE PRE-FILTER This filter is made of a stratified pressed aluminium mesh filter, combined with a high quality sponge and a galvanised sheet frame. The frame consists of 2 shells that can be opened and re- used to wash the filter components. The sponge air filters are made in standard dimensions ac- cording to EN standards compliant with ASHRAE standards to fit perfectly inside the air treatment unit.

9.3 FI IONISATION SECTION The new FI negative ionisation cell has been designed and built to be applied inside air handling units or along air distribution channels. FI represents a brand new development in the air handling field and its insertion after electrostatic or absolute high efficiency filtering, guaran- tees a reduction of odours and sterilisation of the walls, along with greater environmental comfort.

9.6 LABYRINTH ACTIVE CARBONS SECTION The active carbons section shows a series of flat filters ar- ranged in a labyrinth to create an air passage on a larger surface compared to a classic panel and at a lower speed. A longer contact time between air and activated carbons is obtained in this way, subsequently increasing the odour ad- sorption effect and reducing pressure drops.
FILTER MAINTENANCE Maintenance differs by method and time of intervention depending on the type of filter: a) replacing the filter fibre in fabric pre-filters b) washing pre-filters and the electrostatic cell c) maintenance of the FI Ionisation and FX Ozonisation sections d) replacing the activated carbon e) washing the droplets separator or turbulator These operations are very important and must be carried out with great care to always keep your equipment...

c) extract the filter, let it drip over the tank, rinse it generously with running water, being careful not to break the ionisation wires. d) let it dry keeping it raised off the floor with wooden strips or in a dryer with a maximum temperature of 60 °C.
10.3. FX OZONISATION CELL MAINTENANCE The FX ozonisation module does not require frequent maintenance. Every 2-4 months the emitter wires must be checked and kept clean and every 12 months they must be replaced. To clean the wires it is recommended to use a cotton swab dipped in multi-purpose degreasing detergent.
CONTROLS ON THE ELECTROSTATIC FILTER Perform periodic checks to verify the status of its basic components, proceed to replace them in case of breakage or perform preventive maintenance. Do the following: - clean the ionisation wires - replace the ionisation wires of the electrostatic cell. 12.1 CLEANING THE IONISATION WIRES Some types of pollutants cause slight encrustation or oxidation of ionisation wires.
ELECTRIC PANEL Connect the power supply to the electrical panel as explained in the chapter on electrical panel installation. START-UP 1) Open the door and turn the main switch from 0 (zero) to 1 (one). 2) The signal lamp must light up with GREEN light to indicate correct operation of all systems.
For all the checks, use the wiring diagrams. Always cut off the voltage before operating on electrical circuits. Electrical maintenance is reserved for instructed and trained personnel only. Some interventions may require to operate on the panel UNDER TENSION, use the necessary precautions. ADJUSTMENTS POTENTIOMETER Inside at electric panel next to the potentiometer for adjusting the flow rate, there are 2 trimmers for setting the minimum flow rate and maximum flow rate.
