AIR CLEANER MONITOR
The optional W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor may be added to your air cleaner system to provide convenient indication of system performance. The W8600F must be ordered seperately.
The W8600F is designed to mount next

to your thermostat, or in any convenient location (such as a utility room) where it can be seen as it monitors the air cleaner's performance.
The four Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) indicators are labeled ON, BATTERY, SERVICE and FAULT.
• The ON indicator is active during normal air cleaning operation. The system fan is also on when the air cleaner is running.
• The BATTERY indicator is active when the W8600F battery is low.
• The SERVICE indicator is active when it is time to wash the air cleaner prefilter(s) and cell(s). The time between cleanings is entered into the W8600F at installation. To turn the SERVICE indicator off, press the Reset button located at the bottom right of the W8600F.
• The FAULT indicator is active when there is extreme dirt loading, electronic malfunction, constant arcing or other problems with the high voltage output of the air cleaner power supply.

OPERATING YOUR ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER
Set the ON-OFF switch in the power box to ON.
NOTE: Depress 1 for ON, 0 for OFF.
The air cleaner will now operate whenever your furnace/air conditioning system fan operates. For

maximum air cleaning benefit and cleaner air conditioner coils, leave the air cleaner switch ON at all times and the fan switch on your thermostat ON. Of course, continuous fan operation will add to your electric bill each month.
When the fan and air cleaner come on, the neon

You may hear a snapping (electrical arcing) sound occasionally as the air cleaner operates. This usually is caused by a larger dust particle causing a high voltage discharge. The snapping sound means that your air cleaner is working as it should. To hear the snapping sound, momentarily

When the fan and air cleaner stops, the neon light goes out, as does the ON indicator on the W8600F. The air cleaner is off until the heating or air conditioning and fan start again.

If you don’t want the air cleaner to run, set the ON-OFF switch to OFF to turn off the air cleaner. Your furnace and air conditioner will still operate normally, but without the added benefit of air cleaning. Normally, this switch should be ON at all times.

GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER
Run the electronic air cleaner as much as possible
Keep the cell(s) and prefilter(s) clean
For greatest benefit, 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 switched ON. The fan and air cleaner will 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). The cost of running the system fan will vary with the size of your fan motor and the cost of electricity where you live. Most air cleaner owners feel that the added cost is more than offset by the added benefits of full time air cleaning and full time air circulation. You may feel that the room temperature stays more even when the fan is always on.
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 cell and prefilter reduces air flow and, in turn, reduces the efficiency of the furnace or air conditioner. The cell wash reminder sched­ule or the optional W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor should be used to maintain a regular wash schedule.
Replace any activated carbon filters in the ductwork regularly
An activated carbon (charcoal) filter is some­times installed downstream of the air cleaner to help control odors. This filter should be changed at least annually, or as recommended by the filter manufacturer. Honeywell does not offer carbon filters for this application.

If you have a humidifier
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’s 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) will require more frequent washing. A white residue will accumulate on the cell(s) from the minerals in the water. This residue may also contribute to "white dust" (see p. 17).
All Honeywell whole house humidifiers may be used in a system with the Honeywell Electronic Air Cleaner without any additional filters or system modification.

CLEANING THE ELECTRONIC CELL(S) AND PREFILTER(S)
CAUTION
Sharp edges. Can cause personal injury.
Carefully handle the cell(s) or wear protective gloves to avoid cuts from the sharp metal edges.
Setting a regular cleaning schedule
To ensure optimum performance from the air cleaner, the cell(s) and prefilter(s) must be cleaned regularly—every one to six months. Washing frequency will vary depending on the number of family members, pets, activities (such as cooking or woodshop) and smoking habits. Use the wash reminder schedule that came with the air cleaner or the optional W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor to help establish and maintain a regular cleaning schedule. Mount the wash reminder schedule in a convenient location.
