Friedrich Air Purifier - Maintenance of Products

Friedrich Air Purifier has made the maintenance of both the C90A and C90B easy for consumers to handle. Since consumers have other things to think about besides the life of the filter inside their air purifier, the company has made sure their products don't require much attention from consumers. Cleaning and maintaining quality filters inside the air purifiers are the most important tasks that consumers have to perform with their units.

The air purifiers from the company should stay as clean as possible in order to display as much efficiency as they can. The collector plates and pre filter inside the units can become very dirty and the contaminants that the collector plates and pre filter are catching can become stuck on the filter. These contaminants can easily build up and this build up of dirt can cause the plates and filter to be less effective. The wires that are used to ionize the particles and give them their charge can also get a layer of dirt buildup that can cause them to become much less effective and unable to give the particles a strong charge. In order to prevent this build up of dirt affecting the efficiency of the unit, the electronic cell that holds the ionizing wires and collection plates and the pre filter should be washed regularly to avoid the dirt buildup. If the air purifier is used on a regular basis or continuously, these parts should be cleaned regularly. If the air purifier is used in extreme situations where a lot of smoke, chemicals or gases are present and must be cleaned, the air purifier should also be cleaned as much as possible to avoid the build up.

The air purifier should be unplugged from the wall and the top cover should be opened prior to cleaning. The electronic cell and pre filter easily slide out of the top cover of the unit. The dust and lint that have been accumulated in the pre filter can be brushed or vacuumed off the surface. If the pre filter is showing signs of dust or lint that is stuck to the filter, it can be wiped with a mild and all purpose cleaning agent to remove any stains or dirt that is stuck. It should then be rinsed with water and laid out to dry. Once the pre filter has become completely dry, it can be inserted back into the air purifier.

The carbon filter in the air purifier may occasionally need cleaning, but not as many times as the collection plates or pre filter may need the cleaning. A stream of air or vacuum purifier should be able to remove any dirt or lint that is present in the carbon filter. The carbon filter should not be washed, however, because it could disrupt the activated carbon and cause it not to have the ability to absorb odors anymore. The carbon filter should always be in place before turning the unit on and it should be replaced every 3 to 6 months for complete efficiency.

The electronic cell in the air purifier is easy to be cleaned and can be placed inside a home dishwasher. When run through a normal wash cycle, the electronic cell should come out clean and free of dust or dirt. The cell can be washed with any normal dishwashing detergent and may be hot after the dishwashing cycle. Once the air purifiers cell has cooled down and is completely dry, it can be placed back into the unit and should be back to 100% efficiency.

The air purifiers designed by Friedrich are specialized for indoor rooms. They can handle normal room temperatures and should not be used in the outdoors since they will not be effective at cleaning outdoor air. As long as proper cleaning and maintenance of the units is kept up with, consumers should enjoy quality indoor air.
