Cleaning & Maintenance
When the purifier no longer produces enough ozone to be effective, the ozone plate
should be cleaned. A good rule of thumb is every three months. Some environments
cause ozone output to be reduced in a shorter time but other environments may
take longer.
To clean a plate, first turn the unit Off and unplug from outlet. Then remove the
4”x4” plate or plates from back of unit. Pull plates firmly in the center to remove
from the slot. With plate firmly supported in the hand, wash plate with warm soapy
water or a grease cutting detergent. Scrub with stiff brush if necessary. Be careful not
to drop the plate or scrub off the silicon. Clean both the metal screen and the ceramic
tile. Rinse plate in hot water and dry completely before installing. If available, you
may use a hair dryer to dry the plate. Reinstall plate, making sure it is secured and
flush with the back of the unit. Plug unit into a grounded 110 electrical outlet, turn
unit on and start enjoying clean fresh air.
To clean needlepoint ionizer, first turn Off and unplug from outlet. Remove the fan
grill cover. The needlepoint ionizer will be easy to find in front of the fan by looking
for two pieces of wire. Take a q-tip or cotton swab dipped in alcohol and clean any
dirt that may have accumulated on the needlepoints. This process may be done when
plates are being cleaned. While you have the front grill cover off the unit you may
also clean the fan and the grill itself. To clean the fan simply wipe the blades with a
damp cloth or vacuum. The grill cover may also be cleaned with warm soapy water.
Be careful that the fan grill cover is completely dry before reinstalling.
If you suspect a problem with your unit check the following:
• Make sure plate is clean (see above).
• Unit is plugged in properly and turned on.
• Check the fuse to make sure it is installed properly and not burned out.
To replace fuse, push in and turn fuse holder to the left, remove old fuse,
replace with spare. Use 1 amp fuse, 1.25 inches long.
• Wall outlet is active.
• Check plate alignment, making sure the ceramic plate is almost flush
with back of unit.
• It important that the LightningAir be properly grounded to avoid
potential shock.
If the fan is not operating or no buzzing sound is detected on the high setting of the
Ozonator dial, call the Service / Warranty Service listed on the back of unit.
Caution: No attempt should be made to remove the back panel of the unit, as
there are no user serviceable parts. Opening the unit will void all warranties.
