Operating Friedrich C90B Air Purifiers
The operations of the Friedrich C90B air purifiers are quite simple. The system is a self contained console that consists of a high voltage DC power supply, an electron cell, a three speed fan, and two filters; the pre filter and an activated carbon post filter. All of this is contained in a strong plastic cabinet.
The system is specifically designed to remove indoor pollutions such as tobacco smoke, airborne bacteria, dust, pollen, pet dander, and billions of other contaminants that are in the air within all in a matter of minutes; leaving you with results you can breathe and feel.
There are a few cautions that you should not before you begin to operate these air purifiers. You should always carry the system by its handle indentations on the side panels or carry it by its base. The top is very unsteady as it can be removed so that the filter can be serviced. Be sure to remove any and all plastic from the activated carbon filter. The carbon filter label should be facing outward; if it isn't the filter is installed improperly. You must make certain that the electronic cell is placed properly in the cabinet; the air flow on the end of the electronic plate must be pointing toward the fan. If it isn't facing the right direction, the system will not run properly. Be sure to put the cover securely back in place before turning on the air purifiers.
Do not place this system in any area where the may be or are potential gas vapors or water may be present. Do not cut the three prong power cord that is included with this system. It is a grounded plug that is designed to protect you from shock related hazards and it should only be plugged into the proper three plug grounded receptacle.
Controls of the Friedrich C90B air purifying system are very basic. All of the controls are located on the top of the system. They all can be assessed by an opening in the top cover. The controls are as follows: · Off · HI · Med · Low
In extreme conditions such as a lot of tobacco smoke or stale air, this system can be used to clean rapidly, the high setting for the fan is used. In most cases this is used if there are a lot of smokers in the room, or if a large area needs to have the air circulated in order to maintain a crisp clean breathing environment. The medium and low setting on the system can be set to maintain air circulation and have clean crisp air all of the time.
There is a light that lets you know when the air purifier is on and working as it should be. When the system first starts up the light indicator may flicker on and off, but this is nothing that should worry you. It is considered normal. The only need for you to start troubleshooting is if the light fails to come on at all. In that case you should refer to the basic operating in troubleshooting in the user's manual.
A snapping sound can be heard when the system first is started. This is a normal sound and the system may keep making these sounds throughout the first few days of use. After the first few days have passed you may still hear an occasional snap sound, this simply is just indicating that the system is cleaning the air. Once the electronic cell becomes dirtier from use, the snapping sounds will be heard more frequently. All you have to do is simply wash the cell and make sure that it is completely dry before placing back into the system.
Location, location, location
Location is everything when using air purifiers. A great choice of location for this system would be near the closest form of contamination. For example, if tobacco smoke is an issue in the room that the system will be purifying, then you should place it as close to the area with the tobacco smoke as possible. When you are positioning the system, be sure not to block the intake and discharge grilles. Blocking these grilles can cause the system to fail to work properly. The intake grille should not be placed any closer than eight inches from the wall. Be sure to provide an unobstructed path for the discharge air. The system will be more effective, the further the discharge air travels. If you are placing the system in a room that also has an open door way, it is best to position it near the opening and direct the air flow into the adjacent room. This will promote good air circulation throughout.
Hotel rooms, hospitals, medical offices, beauty salons, employee lounges, restaurants, homes, photo labs, sports facilities, pet shops, schools, conference rooms are all ideal locations for the Friedrich C90B. If you have a fireplace or a wood stove, you should definitely place one of the units in the same room with it. This will help to protect you from breathing in all of the soot that is given off by fireplaces and wood stoves.
