GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR ELECTRONIC AIR
CLEANER
Run the electronic air cleaner as much as possible
For greatest efficiency, 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 turned on. The fan
and air cleaner 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 cleaner uses less power than a 40 watt light bulb (two-cell model—33 watts;
single cell model—22 watts). Many believe that the added cost is more than offset by
the added benefits of full-time air cleaning and full-time air circulation. And you may
feel that the room temperature stays more even when the fan is always on.
Even if your thermostat does not have a Fan On position, you can obtain maximum
available air cleaning benefit by making sure the air cleaner is always turn to On so it
operates whenever the furnace or air conditioner is on.
Keep the cell(s) and prefilter(s) clean
Although the air cleaner is designed to be efficient over a wide range of cell dirt loading
conditions, regular cleaning is your best assurance of consistent performance. Also, a
very dirty prefilter and cell reduces air flow and, in turn, this reduces the efficiency of
the furnace or air conditioner. The cell wash reminder schedule or the optional W8600
Air Cleaner Indicator should be used to maintain a regular wash schedule.
Replace postfilter regularly
A high-efficiency postfilter is sometimes installed in the air cleaner. This filter increases
the efficiency of the air cleaner and should be changed every six months of usage.
