GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER

Run the electronic air cleaner as much as possible
For greatest efficiency, the air cleaner should run all the time. To do this, set the Fan switch on your thermostat to On, and make sure the air cleaner is turned on. The fan and air cleaner run even when the furnace or air conditioner is off.

NOTE: A manual fan switch may be built into the furnace or furnace fan controller. The air cleaner uses less power than a 40 watt light bulb (two-cell model—33 watts; single cell model—22 watts). Many believe that the added cost is more than offset by the added benefits of full-time air cleaning and full-time air circulation. And you may feel that the room temperature stays more even when the fan is always on. Even if your thermostat does not have a Fan On position, you can obtain maximum available air cleaning benefit by making sure the air cleaner is always turn to On so it operates whenever the furnace or air conditioner is on.

CLEANING PREFILTER(S), CELL(S) AND POSTFILTER(S)

Setting a regular cleaning schedule
To ensure optimum performance from the air cleaner, the prefilter(s) and cell(s) must be cleaned regularly— twice a year with normal use or more frequently with heavy use. Use the wash reminder schedule below to help establish and maintain a regular cleaning schedule. Mount the wash reminder schedule in a convenient location.

Cleaning your Prefilter

1. The quickest and easiest way to clean your prefilter is to use the brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner to vacuum the lint off the dirty side of the prefilter. Greasy dirt may require soaking the prefilter in a tub or rinsing with the garden hose. Do not wash
   the prefilter in the dishwasher or car wash
2. The prefilter should be cleaned every 6 months or more frequently with heavy use. This will keep the prefilter clean of air choking lint that can make your system work harder.
   Vacuum the prefilter with a brush attachment, rinse it with a hose, or soak it in a tub. Do not wash the prefilter(s) in the dishwasher or car wash.

Cleaning your Cells

1. A quick cleaning of the cells can be done by simply wiping down the ionizer wires with a damp cloth. This will help boost the efficiency of the air cleaner between full cleaning cycles. Ths quick clean can be done every time the prefilters are cleaned.
2. A full cleaning of the cells will return the air cleaner to its peak efficiency. An easy way to wash the cells is in a tub of hot, soapy water. Just soak the cells until the water cools, agitate and rinse. For details on cleaning cells, see below for Washing the cell(s) in a tub or Washing the cell(s) in your automatic dishwasher.
3. Because the efficiency of the air cleaner remains high even as it loads up with dirt, a full cleaning of the cells can be put off for yearly maintenance and a quick cleaning can be done more often. Those wishing to renew to peak efficiency or with heavier use may want to wash more frequently.

Replacing electronic air cleaner components

1. Inspect the cell(s) for broken ionizer wires and bent collector plates. Repair, as necessary, or call your contractor for service.
2. Slide the prefilter(s) into the upstream prefilter guides.
3. Slide the air cleaner cell(s) in so the air flow arrow points downstream and the handle(s) face outward.
4. Firmly close the access door.
5. Turn on the air cleaner.  If the arcing is annoying, simply turn the air cleaner off for two to three hours or until the cell(s) are dry.

HOW ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANING WORKS

A word about particle size
The particles removed by the electronic air cleaner tend to be very small—less than ten microns. But what is a tenmicron particle? The eye of an average size sewing needle is about 750 microns across, and the dot in the i in the word micron is about 400 microns.

How the electronic air cleaner works

First, large particles (lint, hair) are caught by the prefilter(s). Then, as the dirty air passes through the intense high voltage electric field surrounding the ionizer wires, all particles, even the smallest particles down to 0.3 micron are given an electric charge. The air then passes into the collector where the alternate parallel plates are charged positive and negative, creating a uniform electrostatic field. Since opposites attract, the charged particles stick to the collector plates, having an opposite electric charge. The precharged postfilter continues to remove small particles from the air. The air leaving the air
cleaner contains very few particles.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

Electronic air cleaner doesn’t seem to be working

1. Make sure the furnace or air conditioner blower is running.
2. Make sure the access door is firmly closed and latched. If door is not closed properly, an interlock keeps the air cleaner off.

Arcing (snapping) seems too frequent

1. If the electronic cell(s) are wet from washing, turn the air cleaner off for two to three hours.
2. Check the cell(s) for broken ionizer wires or bent plates. Repair if necessary.
3. Wash cell(s) and prefilter(s) if dirty.

Neon light on air cleaner does not come on

1. Make sure the furnace or air conditioner fan is running.
2. Make sure the access door is firmly closed.
3. Make sure the On-Off switch is in the On position.
4. On models without the Solid State Performance Indicator, if the electronic cell(s) are wet, check again in two to three hours.

You smell ozone and find it objectionable

1. Call your heating and air conditioning dealer.
