Cleaning Performance seems low:

My Ionizer Wire broken:

1. After prolonged use, the unit’s 
Ionizer Wire may become dirty. This 
may result in poor ion generation and 
the possibility of a “Hissing” sound 
coming from the unit’s Ionizer Wire. If 
this occurs, wash the Filter Assembly 
as described in the section on 
Stainless Steel Filter Maintenance.

1. Ensure that the Filter Assembly is 
properly inserted and the unit is
properly plugged into an energized 
wall outlet.

1. Call Customer Service for a 
replacement. The unit will not 
operate with a broken Ionizer Wire. 
Never replace this wire with 
anything but approved components 
supplied by the manufacturer.
