Cleaning Prefilter(S), Cell(S) And Postfilter(S) - Honeywell F50F Owner's Manual

CLEANING PREFILTER(S),
CELL(S) AND
POSTFILTER(S)
CAUTION
Sharp edges.
Can cause personal injury.
Carefully handle cell(s) or wear protective
gloves to avoid cuts from sharp metal edges.
NOTE: You may let the heating or air conditioning
system operate normally while the cell(s) are
being washed. Simply turn off the air cleaner
switch.
Cleaning your Prefilter
1. The quickest and easiest way to clean your pre-
filter is to use the brush attachment of your vac-
uum cleaner to vacuum the lint off the dirty side
of the prefilter. Greasy dirt may require soaking
the prefilter in a tub or rinsing with the garden
hose. Do not wash the prefilter in the dishwasher
or car wash
2. The prefilter should be cleaned every 6 months
or more frequently with heavy use. This will keep
the prefilter clean of air choking lint that can
make your system work harder.
Vacuum the prefilter with a brush attachment, rinse it
with a hose, or soak it in a tub. Do not wash the
prefilter(s) in the dishwasher or car wash.
Cleaning your Cells
1. A quick cleaning of the cells can be done by sim-
ply wiping down the ionizer wires with a damp
cloth. This will help boost the efficiency of the air

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.

cleaner between full cleaning cycles. Ths quick
clean can be done every time the prefilters are
cleaned.
2. A full cleaning of the cells will return the air
cleaner to its peak efficiency. An easy way to
wash the cells is in a tub of hot, soapy water. Just
soak the cells until the water cools, agitate and
rinse. For details on cleaning cells, see below for
Washing the cell(s) in a tub or Washing the
cell(s) in your automatic dishwasher.
3. Because the efficiency of the air cleaner remains
high even as it loads up with dirt, a full cleaning
of the cells can be put off for yearly maintenance
and a quick cleaning can be done more often.
Those wishing to renew to peak efficiency or with
heavier use may want to wash more frequently.
Replacing your Postfilter
1. The postfilter is an optional filter that boosts the
efficiency of the air cleaner. Do not wash the
postfilter because that will neutralize the factory
applied charge.
2. The postfilter should be replaced every six
months to ensure peak performance.
