Maintenance - EcoQuest Flair Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE

Periodic maintenance is required to insure that the Flair operates properly. A
severely polluted environment can foul an SynAirG
as two weeks or as long as a year. Shown here are basic maintenance procedures
that should be carried out to keep your unit running at top performance.
Rear lint-screen filter cleaning:
You have two options to clean the lint screen:
• When visibly dirty, simply remove the lint screen and with a hand-held vacuum
remove the heavy particulate from the screen. This method will extend the life of
the filter. - OR -
• When visibly dirty, remove the lint screen from the back of the unit and wash in
hot water, brushing gently with a toothbrush to remove particulate. Allow to dry
prior to re-installing the lint screen.
or grease, such as in a kitchen, start with cleaning with
denatured alcohol and a soft bristle brush. This will cut
the grease without leaving a residue.
For all applications - Clean with ammonia to remove
contaminants. Put the plate(s) into a shallow dish and pour enough ammonia into
the dish to just cover plate(s). Allow the plate(s) to
soak for 10-20 minutes. Remove and scrub with a
soft bristle brush. Rinse thoroughly. Let air dry for
24 hours or use a blow dryer to dry thoroughly.
Plate Card Cage:
Also be sure to clean the white stand-offs at the
corners of the SynAirG
cage. (A cotton swab with alcohol works well.)
Fan Blade and Front Grill:
Wipe off fan blade(see "Removing Chassis" on page 9) and front grill (if dirty) with
damp washcloth. The fan requires no maintenance (with the exception of the first
time it is used, when it may be necessary to give it a gentle push to get it started). If
the fan squeaks, a drop of lightweight oil may be needed on the fan shaft.
