INSTALLATION

4. Fully insert cord into the power cord receptacle on the back of the unit.
5. Install Ozone and Filters as shown in the steps below.
Installing Ozone Plates and Filters:
Step 1: Make sure the unit is unplugged
before installing or removing any filters or
maintaining the unit in any way to prevent
electric shock.
5
Step 2: Push two latches down on back
cover.
Step 3: Remove HEPA filter and all other
filters by pulling out the white ribbon on the top.
Step 4: Insert the 2 Ozone plates found in the
small brown box. For maximum performance,
Ozone plates may need to be washed in warm
water. Always allow them to properly dry
before installing.
Step 5: Reinstall all filters in the same order
they were removed and reattach back cover.
Determine placement location and plug unit into
120-volt outlet.
PLACEMENT
In order to maximize the purification
function, the unit should be placed as high
as possible. Alternately, placing something
under the unit bottom, ensuring the front
grill is tilted upward will better oxidize and
purify floating pollutants. A ceiling fan can
also aid the unit with air purification.
Suggested locations, listed in
order of preference:
6
• Nearest to the source of the worst pollutant.
• Near cold-air return in an air circulation system.
• In the area most frequently used location to achieve maximum benefit.
Notes:
• For maximum control, the unit should be placed where easy access to the
control panel is possible.
• The rear of the unit should always have at least six inches of open area to
allow unrestricted airflow.
• Be sure power cord is not accessible to small children to prevent injury.
SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS
1. Control of the Unit
When looking at the front of the
unit, the controls for UV,
Ionization and Fan Speed are
located on the right. The left
knob controls the Ozone. This
allows using the CA3500 as a
standard air purifier (no Ozone
but pulling air through the 5
stages of filtration) or to use all
CAUTION!
During Ozone cleaning mode this unit should never be
placed where it can blow directly into the face of any
person or pet.

6 stages (Ozone included).
2. Ozone Control
• The Ozone control can turn on, off or adjust ozone function without
degrees.
• To reduce the level of Ozone, user may also remove one of the Ozone
plates.
• The POWER light turns to GREEN when the “Fan” switch is turned on.
The OZONE light turns to RED when the “Ozone” switch is turned on.
Only run the Ozone feature in unoccupied spaces. After the Ozone
feature is turned off, allow one hour before reoccupying the room.
• Do not look at front panel in close proximity or stare at the UV light.
MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance is required to ensure that the CA3500 operates properly. A
severely polluted environment can foul an air purifier plate in as little as four 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.
Pre-Filter/HEPA Filter Cleaning:
(Turn to page 7 for removal instructions.)
You have two options to clean filters:
• When filter is visibly dirty, simply remove the pre-filter or HEPA filter and
clean the heavy particulate from the screen with a hand-held vacuum. This
method will extend the life of the screen/filter.
CAUTION!
Always ensure the room or area is UNOCCUPIED before
performing the above-described Ozone control.

• When filter is visibly dirty, remove the filter from the unit and wash it in cool
water, brush it gently with a toothbrush to remove particulate. Dry
completely prior to re-installing.
All filters are washable except for the charcoal filter.
Fan Blade and Front Grill Cleaning:
(Take off front/reinstall grill method.)
To remove for cleaning:
1. As detail on the left shows, hold bottom of
front grill and pull out.
2. When latch releases from front panel, lift
front grill approximately 30 degrees.
3. Pull front grill away from unit in a parallel
motion.
To reinstall after cleaning:
Place top latch of grill in front panel opening.
Push bottom latch of grill into bottom slot.
Cleaning Information:
Wipe off fan blade and front grill with damp washcloth. The fan requires no
maintenance. If the fan squeaks, a drop of lightweight machine oil may be needed
on the fan shaft.
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:
• Remove the fuse holder by pressing on the clip and pulling straight out.

If the fuse is blown:
• Replace with the standard replacement fuse. Insert the new fuse into the
fuse holder. Press the assembly straight in until it latches.
120-volt models: Fusing current no more than 1.0 Amp.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Indicators of Operation:
(Operation of the Ozone & Power Indicator lamp.)
• Ozone setting to be operated ONLY when the room is unoccupied. Open
the door and window when you return to the room if Ozone operated for
several hours.

The lamp is located on the front panel; one is silkscreen ‘power’ and the
other is silkscreen ‘ozone’.
Troubleshooting – What to look for first:
1. I have plugged in the unit, turned the power switch to "On" and nothing is
happening. What's wrong?
• Make sure the electrical outlet is capable of providing power to the
unit.
• Check the back filter cover located at the back of the unit to make
sure it is fully installed and snapped into place. If the filter cover is not

fully installed, a safety switch will cause the unit to not power on.
• Check to see if the proper fuse is installed and is serviceable.
• Ensure that the fuse cap is completely seated and secured in its
receptacle.
• Be sure the cord is fully plugged into unit.
2. The fan is operating but the unit won't produce any ozone. What's wrong?
