Placement of the Ficus Tree Air Purifier
ATTENTION: Before deciding on a location for your AMCOR Ultra Clean
Ficus Tree Air Purifier, carefully read all the operating instructions as well as the
following information.
The principle on which the ionizer works is ionization. The process of ionization
accelerates the fallout of pollutants from the air. These pollutants may adhere to
surrounding surfaces, causing a dark smudge. Therefore, placement of the unit away
from all non-washable surfaces is a must!
The AMCOR Ultra Clean Ficus Tree Air Purifier will probably be placed on the floor,
but it may be placed on a sufficiently strong stand, with its air outlet facing the user.
In order to allow for proper air flow and to reduce particle buildup, always keep
your unit at least 60 cm (2 ft.) from all walls. The air outlet should always face away
from the wall.
Caution:
Do not place this unit close to sensitive electronic equipments.
Examples are:
• video tapes • audio tapes • floppy disks
• computers • wrist watches • touch lamps
• radios • stereos • telephones
• VCRs, etc.
Do not operate this unit on metal shelving.
Routine Service and Cleaning
Regular maintenance of the unit will keep it operating at maximum effectiveness.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, UNPLUG THE UNIT DURING
CLEANING OR FILTER SERVICING.
Enclosure Cleaning
Clean the outside of the unit at least once a week with a damp paper towel moistened
with a common household detergent. Use a soft brush to clean (lengthwise) the
carbon filament on the front of the outlet grill. Make sure not to damage the carbon
filament when cleaning.
Cleaning the Area Around the Unit
It is recommended to wipe the area around the air processor once a week with
a wet paper towel in order to remove any accumulation of dust.
Cleaning the Washable Filter
It is recommended to clean this filter every 2 weeks.
To wash the washable filter, follow these steps:
A. Lift the filter cover, and remove the filter cassette. Clean the filter cassette by
dusting it and then washing it in a mild detergent solution. DRY THE FILTER
CASSETTE COMPLETELY BEFORE REINSTALLING!
B. Install the filter cassette in its place. Make sure that the filter element is facing
away from the Blower (filter element should be facing base of tree).
Replacing the optional carbon pre-filter +95% ASHRAE GRADE
pleated air filter
Under normal household/office conditions, the carbon pre-filter and the 95 % ASHRAE
GRADE pleated air filter should be replaced every 3 to 6 months, depending on use
(filter color will turn dark which indicates it should be replaced).
A. Lift the filter cover.
B. Remove the filter and replace it with a new one (do not forget to remove the
plastic wrapping).
C. Write down on the new filter the date you began using it – so that you will know
after 6 months if it is time to replace the filter.
D. Install the filter with the black side facing away from the Blower.
Warning:
Do not wash the 95% ASHRAE GRADE pleated air filter. It must be replaced with
a new one.
