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

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.

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