OPERATING YOUR ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER

Turn the On-Off switch on the power box to On.
NOTE:Set the switch to 1 for On and set the switch to O for Off.
The air cleaner now operates whenever your furnace/air conditioning system fan operates. For maximum air cleaning benefit and cleaner air conditioner coils, leave the air cleaner switch turned on at all times and the thermostat fan switch set to On. Of course, continuous fan operation adds to your electric bill each month. Check your equipment for the amount of electricity needed to run your System fan.
When the fan and air cleaner come on, the neon indicator lights.
You may hear a snapping (electrical arcing) sound occasionally as the air cleaner operates. This is usually caused by a larger dust particle that causes a high voltage discharge.The snapping sound means that your air cleaner is working as it should.To hear the snapping sound, momentarily press the test button near the botton of the door. Use the test button any time you want to prove air cleaner operation.

The switch remains in the On position to keep the air cleaner running.
When the fan and air cleaner stops, the neon light goes off. The air cleaner is off until the heating or air conditioning and fan start again.
If you do not want the air cleaner to run, set the On-Off switch to Off to turn off the air cleaner. Your furnace and air conditioner continue to operate normally, but without the added benefit of air cleaning. Normally, this switch should be turn to On at all times.

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.
Keep the cell(s) and prefilter(s) clean
Although the air cleaner is designed to be efficient over a wide range of cell dirt loading conditions, regular cleaning is your best assurance of consistent performance. Also, a very dirty prefilter and cell reduces air flow and, in turn, this reduces the efficiency of the furnace or air conditioner. The cell wash reminder schedule or the optional W8600 Air Cleaner Indicator should be used to maintain a regular wash schedule.
Replace postfilter regularly
A high-efficiency postfilter is sometimes installed in the air cleaner. This filter increases the efficiency of the air cleaner and should be changed every six months of usage.

If you have a humidifier
All Honeywell whole house humidifiers can be used in a system with the Honeywell Electronic Air Cleaner without any additional filters or system modification.
If your system includes an atomizing humidifier, you may want to install a standard furnace filter between the humidifier and the air cleaner.This filter would keep the humidifier spray mineral deposits from collecting on the air cleaner.This filter should be checked regularly and changed when it shows signs of mineral or dirt buildup. If you do not install a filter, you will probably need to wash the cell(s) and prefilter(s) more often to remove the mineral buildup.
If an ultrasonic room humidifier is used often, especially if filled with tap (undistilled) water, the cell(s) and prefilter(s) require more frequent washing. A white residue accumulates on the cell(s) from the minerals in the water. This residue may also contribute to "white dust.” See About lint or “white dust” section for more information.

CLEANING PREFILTER(S), CELL(S) AND
POSTFILTER(S)
CAUTION
Sharp edges.
Can cause personal injury.
Carefully handle cell(s) or wear protective gloves to avoid cuts from sharp metal edges.
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.
