Washing in Automatic Dishwasher

NOTE: Move Washing Cells in a Container before washing in an automatic dishwasher.
CAUTION
Burn Hazard.
Can cause personal injury.
Allow cells to cool completely in dishwasher at end of wash cycle or wear protective gloves to avoid burns.
Hot water can accumulate in the tubes supporting collector plates; tip cells so tubes drain.
• Check the dishwasher owner's manual. Some manufacturers do not recommend washing electronic cells
in their dishwashers.
• If the dishwasher has upper and lower arms, position the cells carefully to allow good water circulation.
• Be careful to avoid damaging the cells when placing them in the dishwasher. Broken ionizer wires or bent
collector plates are not included in the warranty.
• Very dirty cells, especially from tobacco or cooking smoke, can discolor the plastic parts and the lining of
some dishwashers. This discoloration is not harmful. To minimize it, wash the cells more frequently or try a
different brand of detergent.
• Do not allow the dishwasher to run through the dry cycle. This bakes on any contaminants not removed
during the wash cycle and reduces air cleaner efficiency.
1. Put the cells on the lower rack of the dishwasher with the airflow arrow pointing up. It may be necessary to
remove the upper rack. Do not block water flow to the upper arm.
NOTE: Lay a few large water glasses between the spikes on the lower rack and rest the cell(s) on them so the
spikes do not damage the aluminum collector blades.
2. Using regular dishwasher detergent, allow the dishwasher to run through the complete wash and rinse
cycle. Do not use the dry cycle. To avoid burns, let the cells cool completely before removing, or wear
protective gloves when removing the cells. Remember that water may be trapped inside the cells. Tip the
cells so the tubes can drain.
3. Wipe ionizer wires and contact board on the end of the cell using thumb and forefinger with a small,
damp cloth.
4. Inspect the dishwasher. Rerun wash and/or rinse cycle with the dishwasher empty if there is dirt or
residue from washing the cells. If dirt or residue seems excessive, wash cells more often or try a different
detergent.
