[. . . ] 1d. ) YOUR ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANING UNIT MORE THAN JUST A BREATH OF FRESH AIR The highest value of clean air is in its contribution to the good health and comfort of you and your family. Additional benefits include potential savings in home heating, cooling, and maintenance costs. Your new air cleaner will electronically filter out microscopic particles as small as 0. 01 micron. At that size, it would take 100, 000 particles to cover the head of a pin. [. . . ] At today's energy rates, the potential savings can be significant. Electronic air cleaning removes most airborne grease and grime particles before they have a chance to settle. Therefore, walls, windows, draperies, and furnishings stay clean and bright longer. The time and money you save from avoidable cleaning and redecorating projects can be dedicated to more rewarding goals. DUCT-TYPE ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER (EAC) The DUCT-TYPE EAC is well suited for home comfort systems using a gas furnace, split-system air conditioner, or split-system heat pump. If yours is a DUCT-TYPE cleaner, it is installed near your furnace or split-system air handler. 2--Typical EAC Installations CLEAN AIR CLEAN AIR a b c Fig. 1--Air Cleaner Process 2 d OPERATING YOUR ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER Your new electronic air cleaner is designed to operate as part of your heating/cooling system.

Your electronic air cleaner will perform at maximum efficiency if these recommendations are followed: · Consider running the heating/cooling system blower continuously--day and night, winter and summer. It may also contribute to greater personal comfort since continuous blower operation minimizes temperature differences throughout the home. Fig. 4--Power Switch Access NOTE: The operation light indicates that power is available to the cells. Use a vacuum cleaner and soft brush attachment to remove accumulations of dust and lint. If further cleaning is required, wash the prefilter with mild detergent and water (or use pressurized spray from a garden hose or coinoperated carwash sprayer). Wash the ionizer/collector cells either manually or in an automatic dishwasher. Add one-half cup of mild detergent for every 10 gallons of water used. Submerge the cells in the soapy solution and allow to soak for 20 minutes. · For a more convenient method, you may wash the cells in an AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER. Check for broken wires, dislocated wire holders, or bent collector plates. However, if any damage is suspected, contact your servicing dealer for immediate repairs. Be sure airflow direction arrows point away from where the prefilter is positioned. 8. Turn on the electrical supply power to your furnace, splitsystem air conditioner, or split-system heat pump. NOTE: No drying period is needed for the prefilter and cells before reassembly. [. . . ] Arrows stamped on the sides of the cells must point in the direction of airflow. Check the air cleaner's prefilter and ionizer/collector cells for any accumulation of dirt. If your comfort system still fails to operate, contact your servicing dealer for troubleshooting and repairs. Specify your apparent problem, and state the model and serial numbers of your equipment.
