Cleaning The Cell(S) And Prefilter - Honeywell F52F Owner's Manual

CLEANING THE CELL(S) AND PREFILTER

Setting a
regular cleaning
schedule
If your air cleaner has a W8600E Indicator (shown on page 2), the
WASH LED will light to remind you that a cell and prefilter washing is
past due. When the WASH LED comes on, it means that the cell(s) are
loaded with dirt to the point that air cleaning efficiency is diminished. You
should plan to wash the cell(s) and prefilter as soon as possible. By
using the wash reminder schedule, a washing schedule can be
established that keeps the cell(s) clean enough so the WASH LED does
not come on.
If you find that the WASH LED is coming on more frequently than the
schedule that was established on the wash reminder schedule, you may
have a buildup of residue on the ionizer wires. If the collector plates on
the cell(s) look clean, you can try wiping the ionizer wires with a clean
cloth instead of washing the entire cell.
You can also consider whether some activity in your home has changed,
causing the cell(s) to become dirty faster. Have the windows been open
more often? Has someone been smoking more often? Has someone
taken up woodworking?
NOTE: You can let the heating or air conditioning system operate
normally while the cell(s) is being washed. Simply turn off the
air cleaner switch.

To ensure optimum performance from the air
cleaner, the cell(s) and prefilter must be cleaned
regularly—every one to six months. Washing
frequency will vary depending on the number of
family members, pets, activities (such as cooking,
woodworking, etc.) and smoking habits. Use the
wash reminder schedule included in the literature
package to help establish and maintain a regular
cleaning schedule.
