    CHECK. • The ON LED is lit during normal air cleaning operation. The system fan is also on when the air cleaner is running. • If excessive dirt has accumulated on the air cleaner cell(s), the WASH LED will light to alert you that a cell and prefilter wash is past due.

    ON. Of course, continuous fan operation will add to your electric bill each month. When the fan and air cleaner come on, the neon light in the ON-OFF switch lights. If your air cleaner is equipped with a wall-...
  • Page 6 If you don’t want the air cleaner to run, set the ON-OFF switch to OFF to turn off the air cleaner. Your furnace and air conditioner will still operate normally but without the added benefit of air cleaning. Normally, this switch should be ON at all times.

  • Page 7: Getting The Most From Your Electronic Air Cleaner

    NOTE: A manual fan switch may be built into the furnace or furnace fan controller. The air cleaner uses less power than a 40 watt light bulb (two-cell model—33 watts; single cell model—22 watts), and the cost of running the system fan is also quite low.
  • Page 8 69-0376—4 If your system includes an atomizing humidifier, you may want to install a standard furnace filter between the humidifier and the air cleaner. This filter would keep the humidifier spray mineral deposits from collecting on the air cleaner. This filter should be checked regularly and changed when it shows signs of mineral or dirt buildup.

    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.
  • Page 10 If you find that the WASH LED is coming on more frequently than the established schedule 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.
  • Page 11 • Do not allow the dishwasher to run through the dry cycle. This will “bake on” any contaminants not removed during the wash cycle and reduce air cleaner efficiency. CAUTION Burn hazard.
  • Page 12 STEP 1 Put the cell(s) on the lower rack of the dishwasher with the airflow arrow pointing up. It may be necessary to remove the upper rack. Don’t block water flow to the upper arm, if provided on your dishwasher. If you are washing the prefilter(s) with the cell(s), place them where they won’t block the water flow to the electronic cell(s).
  • Page 13 Washing the cell(s) in a tub NOTE: Always wash the cell(s) first, then the prefilter(s) to keep heavy lint on the prefilter from getting caught in the cell(s). STEP 1 Use a large enough container such as a laundry tub or trash container, to hold one or both cell(s).
  • Page 14 Replacing electronic air cleaner components STEP 1 Inspect the cell(s) for broken ionizer wires and bent collector plates. Repair as necessary or take to a Honeywell Authorized Air Cleaner Repair Station. STEP 2 Slide the prefilter(s) into the upstream prefilter guides.
  • Page 15 Turn on the air cleaner. If the cell(s) and prefilter(s) are wet, the neon light may not come on and you may hear arcing. If the arcing is annoy- ing, simply turn off the air cleaner for 2 to 3 hours or until the cell(s) are dry.

    10 microns can be seen only with a microscope, except in very large concentrations, such as a puff of smoke. Your electronic air cleaner can remove even smaller particles that can be seen only with an electron microscope.
  • Page 17 These particles are generated by normal household activities, and also enter the house from the outside. That’s why we recommend that you use the air cleaner as much as possible. CLEANER M6030A...
  • Page 18 Odors are gases, not particles. They cannot be removed by the air cleaner or by any other filter designed to remove particles. However, some gases can be trapped by an activated carbon filter or diluted with outdoor air.
  • Page 19 • Install an activated carbon filter downstream of the air cleaner, or • Adjust the air cleaner power supply to reduce ozone production. This adjustment will reduce ozone production about 20 to 25 percent, but will also reduce air cleaning efficiency about 7 to 10 percent.
  • Page 20 • Be sure the return registers are not blocked with furniture. • Be sure the discharge ducts are clean (best done before installing the air cleaner). • Be sure your clothes dryer is vented to the outside and is not plugged.

    OK. 1. If the electronic cell(s) are wet from washing, turn off the air cleaner off for 2 to 3 hours. 2. Check the cell(s) for broken ionizer wires or bent plates. Repair if necessary.
  • Page 22 3. Wipe ionizer wires to remove deposits. NOTE: Use the wash reminder schedule on top of the air cleaner or furnace to establish a washing schedule that prevents the WASH LED from coming on. 1. Make sure cell(s) are clean and dry.
