We recommend you:
• Clean the Filter Assembly, including the PreFilter, Foam Filter, and Honeycomb Filter (see page 10)

• Vacuum removable grill and filter assembly openings
RESETTING THE REMINDERS
The only reminder you need to reset is the PERFORM CLEANING reminder (after performing maintenance,

Periodic maintenance is required to ensure that your EcoSphere operates properly.
The unit will display a PERFORM CLEANING reminder when it is time to perform regular maintenance. If you
are operating your unit in a severely polluted environment, cleaning of the unit, ActivePure® cell, and Filter
Assembly should be done more frequently. Shown here are basic procedures that should be carried out to
keep your unit running at top performance.
CLEANING THE CASE:
Wipe the unit with a soft cloth dampened (not wet) with water. Do not use chemicals or solvents. Vacuum the
front and rear grills periodically to remove any lint buildup.
CLEANING THE ACTIVEPURE® CELL:
Remove the ActivePure® cell(s) and carefully vacuum accumulated lint. Do not wash the ActivePure® cell.
Damage from water may result.
FILTER ASSEMBLY CLEANING:
You have two options to clean the Filter Assembly (including the PreFilter, Foam Filter, and Honeycomb Filter)
when it is visibly dirty:
1. Remove the Filter Assembly from the unit (see page 11 for removal instructions), and with a hand-held
vacuum, remove the heavy particulate from all parts. This method will extend the life of the filters; or
2. Remove the Filter Assembly from the unit (see page 11 for removal instructions), carefully vacuum
all parts, then wash them in hot water (do not use soap). Allow to dry prior to reinstalling. Replace if
damaged.
FILTER ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT:
Contact Customer Service to order replacement filters (see page 11 for removal and installation instructions).
Contact Customer Service by calling 1-888-764-0693 or via email at [e-mail].

TROUBLESHOOTING
INDICATORS OF OPERATION:
When the unit is on, the LCD display will show the
fan setting and RCI PUR. OFF or RCI PUR LOW or
RCI PUR. HIGH.
TROUBLESHOOTING  WHAT TO LOOK
FOR FIRST
1. I have plugged in the unit, pressed the ON
button on the remote (or the unit), and nothing
happens… what’s wrong?
• Make sure the power cord is inserted completely
into the receptacle on the back of the unit
• Make sure the electrical outlet is capable of
providing power to the unit
• Make sure the Filter Assembly and back cover are
properly installed.
• Check to see if the proper fuse is installed and
that it is operational
2. The UV lamp is not functioning/I’m getting a
“Replace RCI Cell” message.… what’s wrong?
• Check ActivePure® cell for proper installation.
• Replace the ActivePure® cell.
3. What are the most typical application problems?
• Symptom: A belief that the proper equipment is
placed in the environment and the equipment
appears unsuccessful
Problem: Lack of air movement, improper
placement of the unit
• Symptom: Strong odors still remain within the
environment after placement.
Problem: Improper placement of the unit, or the
source of the odor has not been eliminated
• Symptom: Visual haze of smoke and/or
particulate remain within the environment
Problem: Lack of ionization and/or air
movement
4. Air flow is restricted or reduced.
• Make sure the unit is properly placed away from
objects that may obstruct air flow
• Make sure the Filter Assembly, back cover, and
front grill are clean
• Make sure the ActivePure® cell is clean
5. How can I tell if the ActivePure® cell is
functioning?
• The ActivePure® cell will produce a glow that
is visible through the front grill under low light
conditions
CAUTION: Do not look directly at the
glowing lamp. Prolonged
exposure, even to reflected UV
light, can cause eye damage
according to the American
Conference of Governmental
Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH)
Standards.
6. Unit does not operate.
• Make sure the unit plugged is in
• Make sure the outlet is active
• Make sure the main power switch is turned on
