Drying the Truman Cell

must be completely dry after cleaning in order to operate properly. A drying mode is available to help remove any residual moisture. While in this mode, the fan will be running on Medium speed, and no power will be supplied to the Truman Cell

. Once the unit detects that the Truman Cell

is completely dry, it will return to its original operating settings and function as normal. “Dry Mode” Operation If the power supply detects that the Truman Cell

is wet, it shuts down power to the cell and causes the Collector Cell light to blink rapidly.

1. While the collector cell light is blinking, press and hold the

power button to initiate “Dry Mode”.

2. Next, the following will all happen simultaneously:

• The lights directly above and below the power button will ash 3 times.

• The unit will switch to medium speed.

• The Collector Cell light will start to blink in a slow pattern.

3. Once in “Dry Mode”

• The unit will run for 60 minutes and then attempt to reset the power supply to the Truman Cell

• If the power supply successfully restarts, the unit will return to its original speed and run as normal.

• If not successful, it will go through the same process up to two more times.

• If still not successful after the third try, the cell is likely damaged or is shorting out due to the presence of a foreign object; it will return to the original speed and the Collector Cell light will blink with a rapid blink pattern indenitely until the unit is reset.10 Cleaning the Exhaust Grille Cleaning the Catalytic Oxygenator
