HOW THE AIR CLEANER WORKSHOW THE AIR CLEANER WORKS
Dirt particles flowing through the ducts (Figure 1) first enters
the pre-filters (A) where large particles (hair, lint, etc.) are
trapped. Smaller particles (smoke, dust, pollen, etc.) pass
through these pre-filters and enter the ionizing section (B).
Here each tiny particle receives a positive electrical charge.
These charged particles then enter the collecting section
(C). This section consists of a series of aluminum plates
which are alternately charged negative and positive.
The positive charge of the particles cause them to be
repelled by the positive plates and attracted to the negative
plates where they are collected . . . just as a magnet
attracts iron filings.
Clean-filtered air re-enters the supply duct system.
White Dust (Lint)White Dust (Lint)
White Dust (Lint)
White Dust (Lint)White Dust (Lint)
An Electronic Air Cleaner is designed to collect two major
types of contaminants: ➀ Irritants (Pollens, Spores, Molds,
Bacteria, etc.) and ➁ Black Soiling Contaminants (Dirt and
Smoke particles).
The residue on the collecting plates of an electronic air
cleaner is black, indicating it is removing dirt from the air
stream. After installing an air cleaner you may notice white
dust (typically, long linty particles or fibers – from carpets,
cotton materials or drapery fabrics). This material is not
collected by the air cleaner because it does not contain the
irritants or soiling contaminants listed above or settles out of
the air before reaching the air cleaner. The presence of
white dust does not indicate an air cleaner requires service.

Odors are gas molecules, not particles. They cannot be
removed by an Electronic Air Cleaner or by any other
filtration media designed to remove airborne particles.
However, some gases can be absorbed by an activated
carbon filter or diluted with fresh outdoor air. When odors
are present, the addition of charcoal filters will neutralize
odors, such as cooking odors, pet odors, cigar and cigarette odors, ozone, etc. Optional charcoal filters are
available for your Air Cleaner. Refer to the parts list for the
charcoal filter part number for your Air Cleaner. Charcoal
filters require replacement. They cannot be washed. While
there is no rule of thumb for how often they should be
changed, you can use your best judgement based on the
odors you perceive in your environment.

Not only is your air cleaner easy to install, it is also easy to
operate and maintain. Its basic components, and their
functions, are as follows: (See Figure 2)

Each cell must be installed with the ionizing wires

LOCATING THE AIR FILTERLOCATING THE AIR FILTER
Your air filter must be mounted in the return air duct of a
central forced-air system, on the air entering side of your
furnace. (See Figure 3 for example.)
Select a location that meets the following:
1. The face of the cell will be at a right angle to the air
stream.
2. Allow the following clearances to permit removal of
cells and pre-filters: (See Figures 4 and 5)
Model SST1000 - 14 inches
Model SST1400 - 15 inches
Model SST1600 - 14 inches
Model SST2000 - 15 inches
For complete dimension data refer to Figure 5.
3. The air filter is not to be placed in the discharge of
either the heating or cooling unit.

used, it must be installed downstream from the air
filter.
If your furnace duct system has a pre-installed boot,
discard front cover of boot and slide the air cleaner
component inside the boot. For installation of Air Cleaner
Retrofit (ACR) kits, see page 13.
If furnace opening cannot be enlarged to required size, a
transition sheet metal section must be used. Transition
must be planned for each job. Reduction should not be
more than 4 inches per linear foot, approximately 20
angular degrees (Figure 3).

Your air cleaner is shipped from the factory with air flow
from left-to-right. If this air flow is suitable for the installation, no further changes need to be made (Figure 4). For

tions. Turn cells upside down (with the same end facing
the cabinet opening). This will locate the ionizing wires at
the right, and both contact buttons and cell handles will be
facing the power door. Air flow direction must agree with
arrow embossed on end of collecting cells.
After installing the cell sections, install pre-filters in cabinet tracks on the right. This will again place the pre-filters
on the air entering side (on the same side as ionizing
wires).
