1. Read the Owners Manual and the Rules for Safe
Operation carefully. Failure to follow these rules and
instructions could cause a malfunction of filter or
unsatisfactory service.
2. Follow a regular service and maintenance schedule
for efficient operation.
3. Unit must run for one full hour after installation. This
will allow the collecting cells to reach peak efficiency.
4. If Air Flow Monitor is required, order F859-0381 kit.

Dirt particles flowing through the ducts (Figure 1) first enters
the pre-filters (A) where large particles (hair, lint, etc.) are
trapped. Smaller particles (smoke, dust, pollen, etc.) pass
through these pre-filters and enter the ionizing section (B).
Here each tiny particle receives a positive electrical charge.
These charged particles then enter the collecting section
(C). This section consists of a series of aluminum plates
which are alternately charged negative and positive.
The positive charge of the particles cause them to be
repelled by the positive plates and attracted to the negative
plates where they are collected . . . just as a magnet attracts
iron filings.
Clean-filtered air re-enters the supply duct system.

An Electronic Air Cleaner is designed to collect two major
types of contaminants: ➀ Irritants (Pollens, Spores, Molds,
Bacteria, etc.) and ➁ Black Soiling Contaminants (Dirt and
Smoke particles).
The residue on the collecting plates of an electronic air
cleaner is black, indicating it is removing dirt from the air
stream. After installing an air cleaner you may notice white
dust (typically, long linty particles or fibers – from carpets,
cotton materials or drapery fabrics). This material is not
collected by the air cleaner because it does not contain the
irritants or soiling contaminants listed above or settles out of
the air before reaching the air cleaner. The presence of
white dust does not indicate an air cleaner requires service.

Odors are gas molecules, not particles. They cannot be
removed by an Electronic Air Cleaner or by any other
filtration media designed to remove airborne particles.
However, some gases can be absorbed by an activated
carbon filter or diluted with fresh outdoor air. When odors
are present, the addition of charcoal filters will neutralize
odors, such as cooking odors, pet odors, cigar and cigarette
odors, ozone, etc. Optional charcoal filters are available for
your Air Cleaner. Refer to the parts list for the charcoal filter
part number for your Air Cleaner. Charcoal filters require
replacement. They cannot be washed. While there is no rule
of thumb for how often they should be changed, you can
use your best judgement based on the odors you perceive
in your environment.

Each cell must be installed with the ionizing wires

Your air filter must be mounted in the return air duct of a
central forced-air system, on the air entering side of your
furnace. (See Figure 3 for example.)
Select a location that meets the following:
1. The face of the cell will be at a right angle to the air
stream.
2. Allow the following clearances to permit removal of
cells and pre-filters: (See Figures 4 and 5)
Model SST1000 - 14 inches
Model SST1400 - 15 inches
Model SST1600 - 14 inches
Model SST2000 - 15 inches
For complete dimension data refer to Figure 5.
3. The air filter is not to be placed in the discharge of
either the heating or cooling unit.

used, it must be installed downstream from the air
filter.
5. If the air cleaner has a power cord installed, unit must
be located close enought to the outlet so connection
can be made without the use of an extension cord.
If your furnace duct system has a pre-installed boot,
discard front cover of boot and slide the air cleaner
component inside the boot. For installation of Air Cleaner
Retrofit (ACR) kits, see page 13.
If furnace opening cannot be enlarged to required size, a
transition sheet metal section must be used. Transition
must be planned for each job. Reduction should not be
more than 4 inches per linear foot, approximately 20
angular degrees (Figure 3).

Your air cleaner is shipped from the factory with air flow
from left-to-right. If this air flow is suitable for the
installation, no further changes need to be made (Figure 4). For right-to-left air flow, remove both pre-filter
and cell sections. Turn cells upside down (with the
same end facing the cabinet opening). This will locate
the ionizing wires at the right, and both contact buttons
and cell handles will be facing the power door. Air flow
direction must agree with arrow embossed on end of
collecting cells.
After installing the cell sections, install pre-filters in cabinet
tracks on the right. This will again place the pre-filters on
the air entering side (on the same side as ionizing wires).
