Check Air Cleaner Operation
With all components in place, turn on air cleaner switch and
energize system blower. Check following points of operation:
1. The neon light next to the On-Off switch is on. The neon
light shows that the air cleaner is energized and the high
voltage power supply is working correctly. If a W8600F is
part of the installation, also check the wall panel and
make sure the On indicator is lit. The W8600F Fault indi-
cator comes on if there is a problem with the high voltage
power supply.
2. Turn off the system blower. The neon light should go off
after a few seconds.
3. Turn on the system blower. With the air cleaner ener-
gized, push the test button. A snapping sound indicates
that the collector voltage is present on the cell.
4. With a multispeed blower, repeat steps 1 through 3 for
each fan speed.
SERVICE
CAUTION
Sharp Edges.
Can cause personal injury.
Carefully handle the cell(s) or wear protective gloves to
avoid cuts from the sharp metal edges.
Cleaning the Cells and Prefilters
To assure optimum performance from the air cleaner, the cells
and prefilters must be cleaned regularly and the postfilters
replaced regularly—every one to six months. Washing
frequency varies, depending on the number of family
members, pets, activities (such as cooking or woodworking)
and smoking habits. Use the Service Reminder Schedule at
the end of this document to help establish and maintain a
regular cleaning schedule. Keep your Service Reminder
Schedule in a convenient location.
NOTE: Media postfilters should be replaced rather than
cleaned. See Replacing Media Postfilters section.
If the air cleaner has a W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor, the
SERVICE indicator activates to indicate filter and cell
maintenance are due. The time between activation of the
SERVICE indicator is based on air cleaner run time that is
selected by the installer at installation.
If the air cleaner has a W8600A AIRWATCH Indicator, the Air
Cleaner LCD arrow blinks to indicate it is time to service the
cells and prefilters. The time between activations of the Air
Cleaner LCD is based on calendar time that is selected at
installation.
NOTE: To let the heating or air conditioning system operate
normally while the cells are being washed, simply turn
off the air cleaner switch.
IMPORTANT
Vacuum the prefilter or brush or soak it in a tub. Do
not wash the prefilter in the dishwasher or car wash.
Automatic Dishwasher
CAUTION
Burn Hazard.
Can cause personal injury.
Allow cells to cool completely in dishwasher at end of
wash cycle or wear protective gloves to avoid burns.
Hot water can accumulate in the tubes supporting
collector plates; tip cells so tubes drain.
IMPORTANT
• Check the dishwasher owner's manual. Some
manufacturers do not recommend washing electronic cells
in their dishwashers.
• If the dishwasher has upper and lower arms, position the
cells carefully to allow good water circulation.
• Be careful to avoid damaging the cells when placing them in
the dishwasher. Broken ionizer wires or bent collector plates
are not included in the warranty.
• Very dirty cells, especially from tobacco or cooking smoke,
can discolor the plastic parts and the lining of some
dishwashers. This discoloration is not harmful. To minimize
it, wash the cells more frequently or try a different brand of
detergent.
• Do not allow the dishwasher to run through the dry
cycle. This bakes on any contaminants not removed during
the wash cycle and reduces air cleaner efficiency.
1. Put the cells on the lower rack of the dishwasher with the
airflow arrow pointing up. It may be necessary to remove
the upper rack. Do not block water flow to the upper arm.
NOTE: Lay a few large water glasses between the spikes on
the lower rack and rest the cell(s) on them so the
spikes do not damage the aluminum collector blades.
2. Using regular dishwasher detergent, allow the dish-
washer to run through the complete wash and rinse
cycle. Do not use the dry cycle. To avoid burns, let the
cells cool completely before removing, or wear protective
gloves when removing the cells. Remember that water
may be trapped inside the cells. Tip the cells so the
tubes can drain.
3. Wipe ionizer wires and contact board on the end of the
cell using thumb and forefinger with a small, damp cloth.
4. Inspect the dishwasher. Rerun wash and/or rinse cycle
with the dishwasher empty if there is dirt or residue from
washing the cells. If dirt or residue seems excessive,
wash cells more often or try a different detergent.
