How to Clean the Alpine Air Purifier Plate

Air purifiers remove smoke, odors, and other impurities in the air. To maintain the maximum operating efficiency of the Alpine unit, the air purifier must be cleaned to remove residue that has settled on the plate. Keeping the plate clean ensures the air passing through the system and back into the room is clean. Portable purifiers can be moved to different rooms as needed by the homeowner. Clean the air purifier as needed and enjoy clean and fresher smelling air.
