1. Make sure 120VAC power is turned on at the circuit
breaker which serves the air handler. Slide the air
cleaner switch into the “ON” position (Figure 20).
2. The air cleaner should operate when the indoor
blower is on. You may hear an occasional arcing or
snapping sound. This is caused when large particles
of dirt are trapped by the air cleaner.
NOTE: If arcing is continuous, cells should be washed or
checked for other problems. Refer to Basic Service
Guide.
3. The air cleaner operating light should be ON when the
indoor blower is operating. If not, the collecting cells
may require cleaning, or there may be another prob-
lem with the air cleaner.
If, after washing the cells, the Operating Light stays off,
the cell could be wet, improperly placed in the cabinet or
may need servicing.
out of ledge at bottom edge of cabinet. Set power pack
aside.
4. Remove the cell(s) and pre-filter(s) from cabinet. Using a
solution of warm water and low sudsing detergent, soak
cell(s) and pre-filter(s) for 20 to 30 minutes. (Do not soak
charcoal filters – they must be replaced).
NOTE: Ionizing wires may become coated causing loss of
cleaning ability by the collecting cell. Using a damp cloth,
wipe each ionizing wire, exercising care not to damage
them.
5. Remove the cell(s) and pre-filter(s) from solution and rinse
thoroughly with clean water.
6 Allow cell(s) and pre-filter(s) to drip dry for a minimum of
2 hours. Cell(s) and pre-filter(s) may be tipped at a slight
angle to expedite the drip-dry process.
7. Reinstall the cell(s) and pre-filter(s) in the cabinet.
8. Replace the power pack. Turn air handler fan on. After 30
minutes push ON-OFF switch on the power pack to the
“ON” position.
A moderate amount of arcing or “snapping” may occur at
this time, which will indicate that the cell(s) are still damp.
If the noise is objectionable, push the ON-OFF switch to
the “OFF” position and allow additional time for cell(s) and
pre-filter(s) to dry. In some cases the operating light will
remain OFF during this initial activation of the air cleaner,
and this would indicate that the cell(s) are not completely
dry. After the cells are completely dry, the operating light
should remain ON while the indoor blower is on.
9. Place the small month-indicator magnet on the current
month in the table on the door. This will serve as a
reminder for the next inspection and/or cleaning.
For maximum efficiency your air cleaner cell(s) and pre-filter(s)
should be inspected once a month and cleaned when neces-
sary. Cleaning will usually be required every one to three
months, depending upon the particular household circum-
stances. When cleaning is required the following procedure
should be used:
CLEANING THE CELLS AND PRE-FILTERS
1. Turn the air handler “OFF.”
2. Push the ON-OFF switch on the power pack to the “OFF”
position (Figure 20). Wait 15 seconds for the power pack
and collecting cell(s) to automatically discharge.
3. Release the latch on top of power pack and pull the power
pack straight away from cabinet at the top. Then lift pack
