69-0764—2 AIR CLEANER MONITOR The optional W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor may be added to your air cleaner system to provide convenient indication of system performance. The W8600F must be ordered seperately. The W8600F is designed to mount next to your thermostat, or in any convenient location (such as a utility room) where it can be seen as it moni[...]

69-0764—2 When the fan and air cleaner come on, the neon indicator lights. If your air cleaner is equipped with a wall- mounted W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor (see page 2), the ON indicator will be active whenever the air cleaner is in operation . Of course, the system fan will also be running. Set the ON-OFF switch in the power box to ON. NOTE: Depr[...]

69-0764—2 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. M3583 4[...]

69-0764—2 For greatest benefit, the air cleaner should run all the time. To do this, set the fan switch on your thermostat to ON, and make sure the air cleaner is switched ON. The fan and air cleaner will run even when the furnace or air conditioner is off. NOTE: A manual fan switch may be built into the furnace or furnace fan controller. The air[...]

69-0764—2 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’s mineral deposits from collecting on the air cleaner. This filter should be checked regularly and changed when it shows signs of mineral or dirt bui[...]

69-0764—2 CA UTION Sharp edges. Can cause personal injury. Carefully handle the cells or wear protective gloves to avoid cuts from the sharp metal edges. To ensure optimum performance from the air cleaner, the cells and prefilters must be cleaned regularly—every one to six months. Washing frequency will vary depending on the number of family me[...]

69-0764—2 If your air cleaner has a W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor, the SERVICE indicator will activate when it is time to wash the cells and prefilters. Wash them following the instructions starting on page 9. To turn the SERVICE indicator off, press the reset button on the lower right of the W8600F (see picture below). You may consider washing your[...]

69-0764—2 CA UTION Burn hazard. Can cause personal injury. Allow the cells to cool completely in the dishwasher at the end of the wash cycle or wear protective gloves to avoid burns. Hot water can accumulate in the tubes supporting the collector plates. Tip the cells so these tubes will drain. IMPORTANT • Check your dishwasher owner’s manual.[...]

69-0764—2 STEP 1 Put the cells on the lower rack of the dish- washer with the airflow arrow pointing up. It may be necessary to remove the upper rack. Do not block water flow to the upper arm. HINT: Lay a few large water glasses between the spikes on the lower rack, and rest the cells on them so the spikes do not damage the aluminum collector bla[...]

69-0764—2 STEP 1 Use a large enough container, such as a laundry tub or trash container, to hold one or both cells. NOTE: Sharp corners on the cells can scratch the surface of a bathtub. STEP 2 Dissolve about 3/4 cup of automatic dishwasher detergent per cell in enough hot water to cover the cells. If the detergent does not dissolve readily, or f[...]

69-0764—2 Replacing electronic air cleaner components STEP 1 Inspect the cells 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 prefilters into the upstream prefilter guides. STEP 3 Slide the air cleaner cells in so the air flow arrow points down[...]

69-0764—2 The particles removed by the electronic air cleaner tend to be very small—less than 10 microns. But what is a 10 micron particle? Well, the eye of an average size sewing needle is about 750 microns across, and the dot in the i in the word micron is about 400 microns. Gener- ally, particles smaller than 10 microns can be seen only with[...]

69-0764—2 First, large particles (lint, hair) are caught by the prefilters. Then, as the dirty air passes through the intense high voltage electric field surround- ing the ionizer wires, all particles, even the smallest are given an electric charge. The air then passes into the collector where the alternate parallel plates are charged positive an[...]

69-0764—2 The regular furnace filter collects mainly large, visible particles that reach the filter. Its main purpose is to protect the furnace and air conditioner blower. The electronic air cleaner collects these large particles, plus many of the smaller, mostly invisible particles. Its purpose is to reduce indoor air pollution as well as to pro[...]

69-0764—2 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. If odors are a concern, talk to your heating and air condition- ing dealer about installing a carbon filter downstrea[...]

69-0764—2 If desired, the ozone generated by the air cleaner can be reduced by asking your dealer to: • 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 20-25 percent, but will also reduce air cleaning effic[...]

69-0764—2 If your air cleaner is equipped with the optional W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor, the SERVICE and FAULT indicator on the W8600F will remind you that a cell and prefilter washing is due and tell you when the system isn’t operating properly. Whether or not your air cleaner has an Air Cleaner Monitor, perform these checks before you call you[...]

69-0764—2 5. Press the test button. A snapping sound indicates the air cleaner is operating properly, but the neon light is not working. If there is no snapping sound, make sure the appropriate fuse or circuit breaker is OK. 1. Cell and prefilter washing is due; wash as soon as possible. 1. Make sure cells are clean and dry. 2. Check cells for vi[...]
