READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Important Information – Please Read
The collection grid has many edges and areas that can trap water. It must be completely dry before being re-inserted, or the unit could be damaged. If water is used to clean the grid, please allow at least 24 hours for the collection grid to dry.
This unit should not be located near a fire replace, whether or not the fire replace is actually in operation. Dust and soot from the chimney could be rapidly drawn through the Ionic Breeze and deposited on or around the unit.
In rooms where candles or oil lamps are frequently burned, the smoke from these products will tend to stick to the outside of the Ionic Breeze. Avoid placing the Ionic Breeze in a location where it will be subjected to smoke from oil lamps or candles. In any area where this product will be subjected to heavy pollution or smoke, it will be necessary to clean the collection grid more frequently.
If the unit begins to arc or make a “static” type of sound, turn the unit off, then slide the collection grid out and invert the unit slowly, several times. Replace the grid.
Frequently Asked Questions
About the Ionic Breeze® QuadraTM
How often is cleaning required?
About every two weeks or anytime the Ionic Breeze makes an audible sound or the CLEANING INDICATOR flashes.
How should it be cleaned?
Wipe the removable collection grid with a damp cloth, paper towel, or wash it in your kitchen sink. The collection grid must be allowed to dry completely before returning it to the main housing.
What is the clean, fresh scent I smell?
This scent is ozone (O3), a combination of three oxygen atoms. (The U.S. government has set safe standards for ozone, and the Ionic Breeze complies with those standards.)
Which power setting should I use?
If the odor of ozone is strong (for instance, in a smaller room), you may prefer to have the power setting on medium or low.
Please read this product instruction manual for important safety information and operating instructions.
