Alternate Cleaning option for homeowners with 200
or 200-1 COLLECTION CELLS ONLY
Vacuuming the PRE-FILTER and COLLECTION CELLS
restores them to a high efficiency. However, some
environmental conditions, like tobacco smoke, cause
the COLLECTION CELLS to need to be washed with
water. Washing the COLLECTION CELLS is acceptable
ONLY if the COLLECTION CELL has a "200/200-1"
embossed or written on the frame in the vicinity of the
manufacturing part number as shown in Figure 39.
Figure 39 Collection Cell Identification
Carefully review both of the COLLECTION CELLS for the
"200/200-1" mark. If the "200/200-1" mark is visible on
BOTH COLLECTION CELLS, they may be washed. If
the "200/200-1" mark is NOT visible, the COLLECTION
CELLS cannot be washed.

CAUTION
!
Washing COLLECTION CELLS that do NOT have the
"200/200-1" mark on them can result in degradation
of the air cleaner system. Failure to follow
instructions could result in property damages.
1. If the COLLECTION CELLS do have the "200/200-1"
mark on them, they may be washed using a low
pressure water spray, such as a sink sprayer or garden
hose. Residue like tobacco smoke may require warm
water to be removed.
22 Numbers in [brackets] are for 50 Hz international systems.
• Do NOT use soap or detergent in cleaning the
COLLECTION CELLS.
• Do NOT immerse the COLLECTION CELLS
completely in water.
• Do NOT place the COLLECTION CELLS into a
dishwasher to clean.
• ALLOW THE COLLECTION CELLS TO DRY
THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING.
2. After washing, drain as much water as possible from
the COLLECTION CELLS.
3. Holding the sides of the COLLECTION CELLS, gently
tap the cells on a flat surface to dislodge any water
droplets inside the COLLECTION CELLS. After
tapping, wipe down the surfaces of the COLLECTION
CELLS to remove any visible droplets of water.
