Maintenance
Before using your new AireCare TM Electronic
Air Filter, hold it up to a strong light. You will
notice a clearly visible rectangular frame sand-
wiched in the center of the electronic air filter.
As the electronic air filter is used, the glass fiber
pads in the filter will become imbedded with dirt.
ONCE A MONTH, disconnect the power cord,
remove the filter from your heating/cooling unit,
and vacuum any heavy dust accumulation from
the outside screens with a soft brush attached
to the vacuum hose. Once this is done, hold the
electronic air filter up to a strong light, tfyou can
see the outline inside the frame (as described
above), put the filter back into your unit.
When you can no longer see the outline of the
inside frame, it is time to replace the glass fiber
pads. These are available from your
NORDYNE distributor. Please refer to the
distributor list included with the furnace home-
owner packet for the distributor nearest you.
The filter pads will normally have to be replaced
every three to six months.
the electrode and its connecting wire
must be located between the pads when
they are replaced.
5. Remove and discard the two dirty pads.
6. With the electronic air filter lying open on a
flat surface, insert two clean pads. Make
sure the pads are well centered in the
frame, and the one pad goes under the
electrode.
7. Close the filter and replace the two clips
which hold it together. Ensure that the
pads did not shift as you close it (there
should be no gaps between the fiber pads
and the edge of the frame).
8. Reconnect the power cord. Make sure the
power light is on, and put the AireCare TM
Electronic Air Filter back in your furnace.
General Notes
If the indicator light does not come on when the
electronic air filter is connected, this indicates
the filter is not working. Check cable connec-
tions, fuse and power source, tf these appear
correct contact your NORDYNE distributor.

Replacing the Glass Fiber Pads
1. Turn off power to the furnace.
2. Unplug the electronic air filter from the
power cord.
3. After vacuuming any accumulated dust
from the outside screens, undo the two
clips holding the halves of the electronic air
filter together and open like a book.
4. Note that the electrode (a metal screen) is
located between the glass fiber pads. Both
Normal maintenance periods are EVERY
MONTH to remove accumulated dust from the
outside screens, and EVERY THREE TO SIX
MONTHS to replace the glass fiber pads.
Neither the electronic air filter nor the glass fiber
pads can be cleaned by washing or immersing
in water. If you wish to clean the electronic air
filter, wipe gently with a cloth soaked in paint
thinner. This should be done outside or in a well
ventilated area.
Use only genuine AireCare :Mreplacement glass
fiber pads. Substitutes will not work as well,
if at all.
If you experience any difficulties with your
AireCare TM Electronic Air Filter, contact your
NORDYNE distributor.
