TYPICAL USE OF DUCT OFFSET TO ALLOW
SPACE FOR ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER.
Determine Duct Design Requirements
The air cleaner is adaptable to all new or existing forced air
heating, cooling and ventilating systems used in residential
applications. Transitions, turning vanes, or offsets may be
needed in some applications for effective operation.
Transitions
Transitions are needed when the duct is a different size
than the air cleaner cabinet. Gradual transitions reduce air
turbulence and increase efficiency. Limit expansion to no
more than 20 degrees (about 4 in. per running foot
[100 mm per 300 linear mm]) on each side of a transition
fitting. See Fig. 2.
Fig. 2. Change duct size gradually
to minimize turbulence.
Turning Vanes
If the air cleaner is installed close to an elbow or angle
fitting, install turning vanes inside the angle to distribute
airflow more evenly across the face of the cell. See Fig. 3.
Offsets
If the duct connection to the furnace in a side installation
allows less than 7 in. (178 mm) for mounting the air
cleaner cabinet, add an offset to the elbow. See Fig. 3.

allow space for electronic air cleaner.
INSTALLATION
When Installing this Product...
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
them could damage the product or cause a hazard-
ous condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the
product to make sure the product is suitable for your
application.
3. If the air cleaner is to be functionally checked before
installation, be extremely careful to avoid electrical
shock. Ensure power is disconnected before
installation.
4. Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
5. Installation and wiring must conform to current
regulations. In Europe, a qualified electrician must
supervise wiring.
6. In Europe, the air cleaner must be supplied via a
double pole isolating switch with a contact separation
of at least 3mm in each pole.
7. After installation is complete, check out air cleaner
operation as provided in these instructions.
8. WARNING! This air cleaner must be earthed
(grounded).
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard.
Can cause electrical shock or
equipment damage.
Air Cleaner must be earthed (grounded).
Do
not
connect to power before installation is
complete.
Unpack Electronic Air Cleaner
■■ Check that all components are included. The electronic
air cleaner is shipped assembled. The unit consists of a
galvanized steel cabinet, power supply with on-off
switch and neon light, one or two electronic cells and
prefilters, access door with test button, and homeowner
literature package.
■■ W8600F (optional), mounting hardware and installation
literature must be ordered separately.
Clean Blower Compartment
■■ Remove and discard the existing furnace filter.
■■ Thoroughly clean the blower compartment.
■■ If possible, power vacuum the ductwork to remove
accumulated dust in an existing home, or construction
dirt in a new home. The electronic air cleaner cannot
remove dust that has settled in the blower compartment
and distribution ducts.
■■ Check the edges of the furnace fan blades for dirt
buildup and clean as necessary. The fan will not deliver
the rated cfm if the blades are dirty.
Fasten Cabinet to Furnace
NOTE: This procedure shows a side installation on a
typical highboy furnace. You may need to alter
the procedure to fit your application.
■■ Remove and set aside the access door, electronic
cell(s) and prefilter(s).
■■ Align the cabinet with the return air opening.
■■ Create opening in furnace to match air cleaner cabinet
opening.
