PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Nature cleanses the air with lightning and rain. Lightning bolts produce ozone, as well as
positive and negative ions which cleanse the air naturally. Rain helps bring the ozone and
ions closer to the earth's surface. They are then attracted to atmospheric contaminants
that are either removed from the air and attached to grounded objects or are oxidized.
The ClassicAir reproduces the natural conditions found in the outdoors. It is not
designed to create an artificial environment. The re-establishment of a natural
environment takes place out in the air, rather than inside the unit. It changes the quality
of the air, rather than filtering it, masking the symptoms, or attempting to dilute it.
PRE-INSTALLATION AND INSPECTION
1. Remove unit from shipping carton
2. Remove all protective materials
3. Check for shipping damage and loose or broken parts
4. Read Owners Manual thoroughly prior to installation
5. Remove purification plate from the box and install
6. OPTIONAL: Plug the unit into a 110 volt (100 or 220 volt) outlet, place in shipping box
with unit on and purifier knob set to maximum for at least one hour to remove traces
of manufacturing odor.
7. Determine placement location for the unit with best air flow. Plug the unit into 110 volt
(100 or 220 volt) outlet and adjust controls according to the application.

PLACING THE UNIT
Place the unit as high as possible to insure
complete purification.
If raised placement is not available, place unit
as high as possible and elevate front of unit
so fan blows towards ceiling. Some pollutants
rise, such as smoke, and an elevated unit
can oxidize the pollutants more effectively. A
ceiling fan can also aid in distribution of air.
The ClassicAir is most effective when placed
in a position that allows the ions and ozone
to be mixed evenly and thoroughly with the
polluted air.
Suggested locations listed in the order
of preference:
1. Nearest the source of the worst pollution.
2. Near a cold air return to thoroughly circulate the benefits of ClassicAir
throughout the area.
3. In the area most heavily used to achieve maximum effectiveness.
Note:
• For maximum control the unit should be placed where easy access to the
controls is possible.
• The rear of the unit should always have at least one inch of open area to allow
unrestricted airflow.
• Be sure power cord is not accessible to small children to prevent injury.
EcoHelp HEPA-LIKE FILTRATION
With the optional EcoHelp on the unit, ClassicAir placed in
a room will remove vast amounts of pollen quickly, allowing
the user some immediate benefit in that room, while
keeping the unit clean. The same holds true for dust, and
the mites riding on that dust. In a smaller confined area,
EcoHelp can give faster results.
EcoHelp Item # 70233

SETTING AND ADJUSTING CONTROLS
1. FAN CONTROL
The disbursement of treated air is best accomplished with good air circulation. The FAN
control should be set as high as reasonably possible without creating an undesirable
noise level. This will be determined by personal preference and the distance you wish the
cleansing properties to be dispersed.
Note: A ceiling fan can also aid in distribution of cleansing properties.
2. PURIFIER CONTROL
PURIFIER control: Set the control at the nine o'clock position for one hour.
Adjust the PURIFIER control up or down after one hour based on the
following criteria:
1. In normal conditions, it is not necessary to turn the PURIFIER control indicator above
the square footage of the environment.
2. Keeping in mind the previous statement (#1), adjust the purifier so that the scent of
ozone fades into the background 15-30 seconds after entering the environment.
3. NORMAL/LOW SWITCH (100 & 110 volt models only)
For better purifier control in small areas (under 300 square feet), set the NORMAL/LOW
switch to LOW. The purifier output will be effective for 1/10th of the area indicated by the
current purifier control setting (for example: 3000 sq. ft. setting = 300 sq. ft. coverage).
For all other applications, set the switch to NORMAL.
4. REDUCING CONTAMINANTS IN AN AREA
7
For maximum effectiveness in reducing
contaminants in an unoccupied area, turn the unit
on high for 3-4 hours.
Caution: Always be sure a room or area is
UNOCCUPIED before performing the above
described procedure. “Unoccupied areas”
includes pets. Some pets, like humans, may
experience adverse reactions from exposure
to increased levels of ozone and should not be
present during this procedure
Air out room by opening a door and/or window.

MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance is required to insure that the ClassicAir operates properly. A
severely polluted environment can foul a purification plate in as little as two weeks or
as long as a year. Shown here are basic maintenance procedures that should be carried
out to keep your unit running at top performance.
CAUTION: Disconnect power before performing any maintenance procedures.
Lint Screen Cleaning:
You have two options to clean the lint screen:
• When visibly dirty, simply remove the lint screen and with a hand-held vacuum
remove the heavy particulate from the screen. This method will extend the life of the
lint screen. -OR-
• When visibly dirty, remove the lint screen
from the back of the unit and wash in hot
water, brushing gently with a toothbrush
to remove particulate. Allow to dry prior to
reinstalling the lint screen.
Purifier Plate:
Remove the rear lint screen . Carefully
remove the purifier plate from the card cage
by grasping the middle of the edge nearest
to you, and slowly pull it straight out.
If you are in an environment where there are fats, oils, or grease, such as in a kitchen,
start by cleaning with denatured alcohol and a soft bristle brush. This will cut the
grease
without leaving a residue.
For all applications - Clean with a mixture of one part water and one part ammonia
to remove contaminants. Place the plate into a shallow dish and pour enough of the
water/ammonia solution into the dish to just cover plate. Allow the plate to soak for no
more than 10 minutes.
CAUTION: Damage may result from soaking the purifier
plate longer than 10 minutes.
Remove plate and scrub with a soft bristle brush. Rinse
thoroughly. Let air dry for 24 hours or use a blow dryer to dry
thoroughly.
Plate Card Cage
Also be sure to clean the white stand-offs at the corners of the
plate card cage. (A cotton swab with alcohol works well.)

TROUBLESHOOTING
Indicators of Operation
Operation of the ion indicator lamps:
Turn the unit on and check that the small red-orange lamp is illuminated. The lamp
is located inside the unit and is viewed by looking into the unit through the front
grill. Illumination of the internal lamp verifies that the frequency type ionizer and
needlepoint ionizer are functioning properly. The lamp should stay illuminated as long
as the unit is turned on.
REPLACING THE FUSE
A fuse holder is located on the back
of the unit next to the power cord. To
replace or check the fuse, unscrew
the fuse holder cap by turning it
counterclockwise then remove the cap
and fuse.
If the fuse is blown, replace with a new
slow blow type fuse. Insert the new fuse
into the fuse holder and replace the fuse
holder cap.
If the fuse holder cap is not installed
correctly, the unit will not operate.
Fuse
CAUTION! - Disconnect power cord before servicing.
100,110 volt models - use 1.0 Amp slow blow fuse.
220 volt models - use 0.5 Amp slow blow fuse
Fan Blade and Front Grill
Wipe off fan blade and front grill, if dirty, with damp washcloth. The fan requires no
maintenance (with the exception of the first time it is used, when it may be necessary
to give it a gentle push to get it started). If the fan squeaks, a drop of lightweight oil may
be needed on the fan shaft.

TROUBLESHOOTING - What to look for first.
1. I have plugged in the unit, turned "ON" the power switch, and nothing happens…
what's wrong?
• Make sure the electrical outlet is capable of providing power to the unit.
• Check the Lint Screen located at the back of the machine to ensure that the safety switch
activator clip depresses the safety switch.
• Check to see if the proper fuse is installed and that it is serviceable.
• Ensure that the fuse cap is completely seated and secured in its receptacle.
2. The fan is operating although the unit won't produce any ozone…what's wrong?
• Check the purification plate for serviceability. If it is cracked or broken, the plate will
require replacement. Ensure maintenance procedures required for the plate have been
performed according to the "Maintenance" section (page 8) of this Owner's Manual.
Order new plates from your Dealer.
• Electrical stainless steel contacts are not contacting the screen portion of the purification
plate. Inspect the unit for any loose connections.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the unit, due to the Limited Warranty of the product.
3. How am I able to know if the Frequency-Type Ionizer is working?
• Current models with the FT Ionizer system have a neon light bulb mounted on the base of
the FT antenna. When the power switch to the unit is turned ON, the neon light bulb will
illuminate, indicating that the FT Ionizer is functioning normally (see page 9, “Indicators of
Operation”).
4. The purification plate is making a noise, has a burning smell, and/or appears to arc or
spark. What is the problem?
• The purification plate is most likely cracked. Refer to the answers for question
# 2, as they apply to this question also.
5. 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: Lack of ozone, improper placement of the unit.
• Symptom: A strong odor of ozone is present within the environment.
Problem: Too much ozone accumulation within the environment, as a result of improper
purifier control setting, and/or lack of air movement.
•Symptom: Visual haze of smoke and/or particulate remain within the environment.
Problem: Lack of ionization and/or air movement.
