MAINTENANCE REMINDER
REPLACE ACTIVEPURE® CELL
The ActivePure® cell is no longer working correctly or may be improperly installed. Replace the ActivePure®
cell. See Removal and Installation instructions on pages 14 - 15. Contact Customer Services for replacement
ActivePure® cells at 1-888-764-0693 or via email at [e-mail].
PERFORM CLEANING (approx. every 30 days)
The unit requires cleaning. See the General Maintenance section of this owner’s manual.
We recommend you:
• Clean the Filter Assembly, including the PreFilter, Foam Filter, and Honeycomb Filter (see page 10)
• Vacuum the ActivePure® cell
• 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,
press the Reminder Reset button and the screen will momentarily display CLEARED to let you know the
reminder has been cleared). All the other service reminders will clear automatically once the unit has been
turned off and back on and the problem has been corrected.

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].
CHANGING THE ACTIVEPURE® CELL:
The ActivePure® cell should be changed when REPLACE RCI CELL appears on the display or every two (2)
years. To change an ActivePure® cell, follow the removal and installation instructions on pages 14 - 15.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Unplug the unit before performing any maintenance procedures.
