Cleaning Your Cells - Honeywell F300 Owner's Manual

Cleaning your Prefilter
1. The quickest and easiest way to clean your prefilter is to use the brush attach-
ment of your vacuum 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 sys-
tem 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 simply wiping down the ionizer
wires with a damp cloth. This will help boost the efficiency of the air cleaner
between full cleaning cycles. Ths quick clean can be done every time the prefil-
ters 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 Wash-
ing 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.
