Welcome...

...to the world of high efficiency air cleaning. Your Honeywell electrostatic air cleaner does exactly what its name suggests - it cleans the air of tobacco smoke, dust, pollens and the vast majority of other airborne contaminants which cause indoor air pollution. With this Honeywell electrostatic air cleaner you can expect to enjoy the benefits of clean air for years to come.

The air cleaner meets all relevant EU Directives.

OPERATING YOUR F57 AIR CLEANER

Your Electrostatic Air Cleaner has one or two cells depending on the model. These instructions apply to all models. To follow these instructions please refer to the diagram on the inside front flap of this booklet.

Please retain this booklet for future reference.

The air cleaner is operated by pressing the desired airflow speed button on the display panel - LO, MED or

HI . Pressing ‘HI’ speed gives the maximum airflow - 1500 m³/h for the F57A models and 780 m³/h for the F57B models.

The ‘ON’ LED should light whenever the air cleaner is running.

To turn off the air cleaner press the ‘OFF’ button on the power switch. The fan, the high voltage power supply and the ON LED will all go off.

A wall mounted remote control unit is available as an option to control your air cleaner. This unit is hard wired to the air cleaner. It is available to order as a spare part from your installer or dealer.

GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR ELECTROSTATIC AIR CLEANER

The air cleaner keeps you informed of its running status. Lights on the Display Panel provide information.

The YELLOW ‘ON’ light indicates that the air cleaner is functioning correctly. An occasional snapping sound from the air cleaner (sometimes called arcing) confirms the air cleaner is running normally. Press the ‘TEST’ button to hear the snapping sound. The CHECK LED will light when the TEST button is pressed.

If the RED ‘CHECK’ light is on permanently; this is an indication that the air cleaner has developed a fault. Usually it means a fault with the internal power supply but there are some checks you can do before calling your service dealer. (See later section on Service Checks).

F57A/B

Some models are equipped with a ‘WASH’ light. This light indicates that the cleaning cell is loaded with dirt and that its efficiency has dropped below acceptable working levels. The cell must be washed to return the air cleaner to its original efficiency. If this light is on but the cell is not dirty, turn to the section on Service Checks before calling your service dealer.

An activated carbon filter can be installed to help control odours. This filter is fitted inside the access cover next to the prefilter. F57A models use two carbon filters one on either side of the prefilter, whilst F57B models have a single carbon filter which sits to the left hand side of the prefilter. Carbon filters should be changed approximately every 6 months depending on usage. They are obtained from your installer or service dealer.

Instead of switching the air cleaner off when not in use, why not leave it to run on the LO setting? This will ensure maximum air cleaning benefit is achieved.

CLEANING THE ELECTROSTATIC CELL AND PREFILTER

The air cleaner is designed to be efficient over a wide range of cell loading conditions. However as it cleans the air the cell and prefilter in your air cleaner become dirty. This can lead to reduced efficiency. To maintain the air cleaner’s high operating efficiency it is essential to wash the cell and prefilter regularly.

Washing the Cell

CAUTION. When washing the electrostatic cell care should be taken to avoid damage to the cell and injury to yourself. The collecting plates and ioniser wires in particular must be handled with care. Avoid prolonged skin contact with the detergent, and prevent injury to your hands, by wearing rubber protective gloves during cell washing. Take care not to splash detergent solution in the eyes.

• Isolate the device from the mains supply.

• Open the access cover by pressing the release catches. Swing the cover down to the vertical position.

• With one hand supporting the cell rotate the latch 90°.

• Carefully lower the cell until the cell contact board is clear of the frame.

• Lift the cell off the retaining hooks .

Remove dirt from the cell by soaking in a solution of domestic dishwasher or similar alkaline based detergent for 15 to 20 minutes, agitating several times. (Note that some detergents recommend soaking for longer periods of time.) Do not use acid based detergents as these will corrode the cell. Dilute detergent according to manufacturer’s instructions. DO NOT USE ADDITIVE INTENDED TO GIVE SPARKLE TO GLASSWARE IN DOMESTIC DISHWASHERS. THIS WILL REDUCE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE ELECTROSTATIC CELL.

• Remove the cell from the solution and rinse before soaking in clean water. Rinse again and repeat.

• Carefully wipe ioniser wires with a damp cloth.

• Allow the cell time to dry completely - normally two hours. After cleaning the cell may occasionally look stained.

- If the stain is black or very dark, it is probably dirt residue. This can lower efficiency so the cell should be washed again.

- If the stain is white, it is probably detergent residue. This lowers efficiency and may also corrode the cell. Rinse the cell again.

- If the stain is brown or yellow, it is probably tobacco smoke or other airborne dirt. Moderate discolouration of this type does not affect the air cleaner efficiency. Recleaning is not necessary.

Washing the Prefilter

• The prefilter is located inside the access cover. Remove the accumulated dirt from the prefilter by vacuuming,

brushing or washing. If washing in the same detergent solution as the cells, wash ALL cells before washing the prefilter, otherwise the larger contaminants from the prefilter will be picked up on the cell.

Replacing the Cell and Prefilter

••

• Before replacing the cell it should be visually examined for bent or damaged collector plates or broken ioniser

••

wires. Bent or warped plates can be formed back into shape. This should be done to prevent the arcing sound which is caused by the plates being too close together. Do NOT use cells until broken ioniser wires are removed. If the broken wire is in the middle of the cell, replace with one of the wires from either end. This will ensure the cell operates at reasonably high efficiency until a replacement is obtained from your installer or service dealer.

••

• When replacing the cell in the air cleaner make sure the airflow arrow on the cell is pointing upward toward the

••

fan and that the contact board is facing the contact terminals in the air cleaner.

••

• Ease the edge of the cell into the retaining hooks.

••

• Using both hands pivot the cell until the contact board is level with the frame.

••

• With one hand supporting the cell near the latch, rotate the latch 90° to close.

••

• •

• Replace the prefilter in the access cover.

• •

••

• If necessary, replace the activated carbon filter. New filters can be obtained from your local dealer. Note that

••

this filter cannot be washed.

• Swing the access cover back to the closed position. You will hear a click as the latches lock home.

SERVICE CHECKS

Some faults can be checked without the need to call your service dealer.

• If the system ON light does not come on....Check the access cover is firmly closed and latched. If the cover is

not closed properly a safety switch keeps the air cleaner off.

• If the CHECK light comes on....Ensure that the cell is clean and dry. Check for damaged or shorted ioniser

wires.

• Some models have a WASH light. If this comes on....Check that the cell is properly located in the air cleaner.

Wash the cell and prefilter. Wipe the ioniser wires to remove any remaining deposits.

• If the air cleaner arcs (cracks) too frequently....The cell may be wet from washing. Turn the air cleaner off for

two hours to dry. Check the cell for broken ioniser wires or bent collector plates.

• If you smell ozone it could be because the cell is new. The small amount of ozone produced when the air

cleaner is running may be higher than usual during the first week or two of operation, until the cell is ‘burned in’. Normal use and the first cleaning usually takes away this smell. If, however, the smell of ozone remains objectionable one of two things can be done to remedy the situation.

- Open the access cover and move the Performance Switch to position “LO”. Note that this will reduce cleaning efficiency by 5-15% depending on airflow speed.

- Install the optional activated carbon filters.

• If your air cleaner still does not work properly consult your installation or service dealer.
