The W8600F must be ordered seperately. The W8600F is designed to mount next to your thermostat, or in any convenient location (such as a utility room) where it can be seen as it monitors the air cleaner's performance.

GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER Run the electronic For greatest benefit, the air cleaner should run air cleaner as all the time. To do this, set the fan switch on much as possible your thermostat to ON, and make sure the air cleaner is switched ON. The fan and air cleaner will 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

If your system includes an atomizing humidifier, If you have a you may want to install a standard furnace filter humidifier between the humidifier and the air cleaner. This filter would keep the humidifier spray’s mineral deposits from collecting on the air cleaner. This filter should be checked regularly and changed when it shows signs of mineral or dirt buildup. If you do not install a filter, you will probably need to wash the cell(s) and prefilter(s) more often to remove the mineral buildup.

If your air cleaner has a W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor, the SERVICE indicator will activate when it is time to wash the cell(s) and prefilter(s). Wash them following the instructions starting on page 9. To turn the SERVICE indicator off, press the reset button on the lower right of the W8600F (see picture below). You may consider washing your cell(s) and prefilter(s) before the SERVICE indicator activates if some activity in your home has changed. This can include, but is not limited to the follow

But what is a 10 micron particle? The eye of an average size sewing needle is about 750 microns across, and the dot in the i in the word micron is about 400 microns. Generally, particles smaller than 10 microns can be seen only with a microscope, except in very large concentrations, such as a puff of smoke. Your electronic air

Then, as the dirty air passes through the intense high voltage electric field surround- ing the ionizer wires, all particles, even the smallest are given an electric charge. The air then passes into the collector where the alternate parallel plates are charged positive and negative, creating a uniform electrostatic field. Since opposites attract, the charged particles stick to the collector p

However, some gases can be trapped by an activated carbon filter or diluted with outdoor air. If odors are a concern, talk to your heating and air condition- ing dealer about installing a carbon filter downstream of the air cleaner or providing an outdoor air inlet.

If desired, the ozone generated by the air cleaner can be reduced by asking your dealer to: • Install an activated carbon filter downstream of the air cleaner, or • Adjust the air cleaner power supply to reduce ozone production. This adjustment will reduce ozone production about 20-25 percent, but will also reduce air cleaning efficiency about 7-10 percent.
