Electrostatic Cell Removing and Re-installing CAUTION Always Ground the Cell before handling! When you open the door to the Unit all power is cut off. It is possible however that some residual electricity is still residing in the Filter Cell. So, the FIRST thing to do is ground the voltage side of the cell.
UVGI Filter The UVGI (ultra violet germicidal irradiation) filter sits behind the main filter and is surrounded on both sides by carbon filters. The carbon filters serve 2 purposes to 1. Remove gasses and odors from the air and 2. Block UVC rays from escaping the unit. Carbon absorbs the UVC energy making it harmless to people and pets.
Special Warnings Caution: Ultraviolet energy. Protect eyes and skin. This product utilizes UVC Bulbs to provide microbial sanitation. The light waves are invisible to the human eye but are extremely dangerous. This unit must be run with all safety devices and switches in working order. Do NOT By-Pass any safety measures.

Positioning Your MAX-Guard There are several things to take into consideration when choosing where to place the MAX-Guard in the room. While the unit will draw in a large quantity of air it will not necessarily move air on the far end of a large room.

Washing Your Electrostatic Filter Your electrostatic filter gathers smoke, dirt and other particles from the air. These particles are bonded to the filter plates by a strong electromagnetic force. As these particles build up the filter becomes less efficient. It is important to clean the filter on a regular basis.
The blowers of the LakeAir MAX Guard is warranted for (1) year from the date of purchase to the original purchaser. A extended blower warranty is available for purchase and extends the warranty to 7 years.
