2. To wash the cells in a tub
a. Place enough hot water in a utility
tub to cover the cell. Electronic air
cleaner concentrate solution (Part
No. P902-2001) is recommended.
(The solution is available from
your dealer through our Replace-
ment Components Division.) As
an alternative, 2 to 4 oz of auto-
matic dishwasher detergent (not
laundry detergent) can be used.
b. Allow the cell to soak for 30 min-
utes. Agitate it up and down in the
solution until it appears clean,
then remove.
c. Repeat with the second cell.
d. Agitate the prefilter up and down
in the solution until they appear
clean.
e. With a hose, rinse the cells and
prefilter. The hose should be held
about 10 in. from the cell plates
and at a slight angle for better
cleaning results. The cell frame
should be thoroughly rinsed along
the edges to dislodge any trapped
lint or dirt. Carefully wipe a damp
cloth or sandpaper (not emery
cloth) along the ionizing wires.
f. Stand the cells and prefilter up to
drain. Let dry for 2 hr.
We do not recommend washing the
electronic air cleaner cells in the dish-
washer. Not only can the collector
plates and ionizing wires be easily
damaged, but dirt from the cells and
prefilter can permanently stain plastic
dishwasher linings.
3. To replace the cells and prefilter
a. Replace the prefilter and cells in
the cabinet. Check that the arrow
on the cells points in the same
direction as the air flows through
the duct. The arrow should
be pointing to the air handler or
furnace. (If you have to force
it past the positioning screw
on the bottom, it is probably in
a wrong position.)
b. Reposition the access door
(engage the tips on the lower edge
of the door into the slots in the
cabinet). Carefully close the door.
c. Turn the air cleaner switch to ON.
OPERATION CHECKLIST
uous blower and electronic air cleaner
operations, or AUTO if you wish the
blower and air cleaner to function only
when heating or cooling is required.
•
Check the power switch on your elec-
tronic air cleaner. Be sure it is ON and
the power indicator lamps (green and
red) are glowing.
•
Check the main power disconnect
switch. Verify that the circuit breakers
are ON or that fuses have not blown. If
you must reset breakers or replace fuses,
do so only once. Contact your servicing
dealer for assistance if breakers trip or
fuses blow a second time.
•
Check electronic air cleaner compo-
nents. Check for proper orientation of
the prefilter and ionizer/collector cells.
The prefilter must be on the farthest side
from the furnace. Arrows stamped on
the sides of the cells must point in the
direction of the furnace. The prefilter
and cells must be clean and dry.
•
Check for sufficient airflow. Check
for blocked return-air or supply-air
grilles. Be sure grilles are open and
unobstructed.
If your comfort system still fails to oper-
ate, contact your servicing dealer for
troubleshooting and repairs. Specify
your apparent problem, and state the
model and serial numbers of your
equipment.
