WARNING: Use Only in Unoccupied Spaces.

Ozone is a powerful oxidizer. Exposure to high concentrations of ozone can be harmful to humans and animals. Adhere strictly to the following safety guidelines:

• The American Lung Association, EPA, and FDA recommend that ozone only be used in unoccupied spaces.
• Ensure no people, pets, or plants are present in the area during ozone treatment.
• Wait at least two hours after the ozone machine has turned off before reoccupying the treated space. Open windows and doors to ventilate the area if possible.
• Individuals with respiratory issues such as COPD, asthma, or emphysema should consult with their physician before any ozone treatment is performed in their environment.
• Do not operate the unit in wet or damp conditions.
• Always unplug the unit before cleaning or maintenance.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your OdorFree Autel 1000.

Cleaning Ceramic Ozone Plates

The ceramic ozone plates should be cleaned periodically, especially if you notice a decrease in ozone output or a change in the unit's efficiency. The frequency depends on usage and air quality.

1. Disconnect Power: Always unplug the unit from the power outlet before performing any maintenance.
2. Access Plates: Locate the plate access panel, typically at the rear of the unit. Carefully slide out the ceramic plates.
3. Clean Plates: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away any dust or residue from the ceramic plates. For stubborn buildup, a mild detergent solution can be used, ensuring the plates are completely dry before reinstallation.
4. Reinstall Plates: Carefully slide the clean, dry ceramic plates back into their slots.
5. Close Panel: Secure the plate access panel.

Replacement plates are available from OdorFree if the original plates become damaged or worn.

7. Troubleshooting

If your OdorFree Autel 1000 is not functioning as expected, consult the following common issues and solutions:

• Unit Not Turning On:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check if the timer knob is set correctly (not on "OFF").
  • Verify the power outlet is functional by plugging in another device.
• Low Ozone Output:
  • Check the "Ozone Output" knob setting; ensure it is not on "LOW".
  • Clean the ceramic ozone plates as described in the Maintenance section. Dirty plates can reduce ozone production.
  • Ensure the unit's air intake and exhaust vents are not obstructed.
• Odor Persists After Treatment:
  • Increase the treatment time or ozone output level.
  • Ensure the space was completely sealed during treatment (windows and doors closed).
  • Consider repeating the treatment. For very strong, embedded odors, multiple treatments may be necessary.
  • Ensure the source of the odor has been removed or cleaned prior to ozone treatment.

If issues persist after attempting these solutions, please contact OdorFree customer support.
