INTRODUCTION
Your Smokemaster Electronic Air Cleaner is an
advanced design electronic instrument which is an
effective indoor air pollution fighter. You can
expect noticeable improvements in your
atmosphere as your electronic air cleaner begins
the job of removing tiny airborne pollution
particles, such as, dirt, grime, pollen and smoke
from the air in your home or office.
SMOKE
Smoke is composed of invisible submicroscopic
particles. Collectively, these particles make up
that annoying haze. In dense concentrations, the
particles form layers and can stay suspended in
the air for hours. These particles eventually settle
out as a dulling film, which is often visible on
windows or mirrors. Your electronic air cleaner
can remove nearly all these smoke particles
before they have a chance to be inhaled by people
in the room or before they have a chance to soil
your furnishings.
POLLEN
Pollens are also airborne particles, some of which
can be seen but many of which are invisible. Your
Smokemaster Electronic Air Cleaner removes up
to 97% of the pollens. This is why your doctor
may have recommended an electronic air cleaner
for allergy or hay fever relief.
DIRT, DUST AND OTHER POLLUTION
Your electronic air cleaner also effectively
removes irritating airborne dirt, dust, etc., from the
air.
REDUCED HOUSEKEEPING AND
REDECORATING
Keeping your office or home furnishings clean is
an easier job when the air is clean because most
of the dirt and grime you clean is carried through
the air. With the help of an electronic air cleaner,
walls, windows, mirrors, draperies and furniture
stay clean longer. You should notice a reduction
in the soiling effect of these pollution particles on
your furnishings.
Because most of the staining particles are
removed from the air before having a chance to
settle on walls, ceilings and draperies, you don’t
have to redecorate so frequently. Painted surf-
aces last longer, draperies stay cleaner and
wallpaper stays brighter.
LOW OPERATING COST
Your electronic air cleaner costs no more to
operate than a 60-watt bulb. The benefits you
realize from a “full-time” air cleaning operation far
outweigh these small operating costs.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
HOW YOUR ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER
WORKS
A process called “Electrostatic Precipitation” traps
airborne contaminants. The fan draws particulate-
laden air successively through the prefilter, the cell
ionizing section and the cell collector section. The
ionizing section imparts an electrical charge to the
individual particles, which are then drawn by
electrostatic forces to the oppositely charged
collector plates. Cleaned air is then discharged
back into the room.

SETUP AND OPERATION
WHEN USING THIS PRODUCT
Read these instructions carefully. Failure to
follow them could damage the product or
cause a hazardous condition.
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has a grounding-type plug that has
a third grounding pin. This plug will only fit
into a grounding-type power outlet. If the plug
does not fit into the outlet, contact qualified
personnel to install the proper outlet. Do not
alter the plug in any way.
UNPACKING THE AIR CLEANER
Check that all components are included. The
electronic air cleaner is shipped assembled and
should include everything shown in Fig. 1.
SETUP/LOCATING THE UNIT
1. Position the unit so:
•the airflow in and out of the air cleaner is
not blocked or partially obstructed.
•the discharge air does not cause
uncomfortable drafts for any occupant.
•the power cord does not interfere with
normal occupant traffic.
2. Remove and discard the plastic bag from the
carbon filter. Install the carbon filter in the
track near the exhaust grille. See Fig. 2.
NOTE: The center filter track is used for an
optional second carbon filter when additional
odor removal is needed.
3. Replace the cover on the unit. The cover
must be installed properly for operation. See
Fig. 4.
4. Plug the power cord into the standard
grounded outlet.
OPERATING Smokemaster AIR CLEANER
The speed control, Off-Low-Med.-High, is on the
right side of the Smokemaster Air Cleaner. There
is an indicator light and test button on the front
side of the unit. The indicator light should be on
whenever the unit is operating properly. The test
button insures that the electronic cell is properly
energized. See Fig. 1
Generally, the high fan speed is used in extreme
conditions for rapid cleaning or for large areas
where the high fan speed is required to circulate
the air. Medium and low settings are usually
adequate to maintain a clean air environment and
to offer a quieter operation.
At the initial start-up, the indicator lamp may flicker
on and off and is no cause for alarm. Should the
indicator light fail to come on, review the
Troubleshooting section.
During the initial use, snapping sounds may be
heard. This is normal and the unit may continue to
make these noises the first few days of operation.
After this break-in period, only an occasional snap
will be heard.
NOTE: As the electronic cell becomes dirty, it
will snap more frequently. When this occurs,
the cell should be washed. See the Service
instructions for cell cleaning procedures.

FILTERS ARE PLACED CORRECTLY.
WARNING
Air cleaners are not a substitute for fresh
makeup air. Air cleaners should not be used
as a safety device.
