THE SOLID STATE PERFORMANCE INDICATOR This electronic air cleaner is equipped with a special solid state circuit that operates the optional W8600E Solid State Performance Indicator (see photo). The W8600E Indicator must be ordered separately. The W8600E Indicator is designed to mount next to your thermostat, or in any convenient visible area (such as a utility room) where it can be seen as it monitors the air cleaner's performance. The three light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the W8600E are labele

If you have a If your system includes an atomizing humidifier, humidifier you may want to install a standard furnace filter between the humidifier and the air cleaner. This filter would keep the humidifier spray 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. I

If you find that the WASH LED is coming on more frequently than the established schedule on the wash reminder schedule, you may have a buildup of residue on the ionizer wires. If the collector plates on the cell(s) look clean, you can try wiping the ionizer wires with a clean cloth instead of washing the entire cell. You might also consider whether some activity in your home has changed, causing the cell(s) to become dirty faster. Have the windows been open more often? Has someone been smoking m

Don’t block water flow to the upper arm, if provided on your dishwasher. If you are washing the prefilter(s) with the cell(s), place them where they won’t block the water flow to the electronic cell(s). HINT: Lay a few large water tumblers between the “spikes” on the lower rack, and rest the cell(s) on them so the “spikes” don’t damage the aluminum collecto

Wear rubber gloves to avoid prolonged de- tergent contact with skin. • Keep detergent and solution out of reach of children. NOTE: Always wash the cell(s) first, then the prefilter(s) to keep heavy lint on the prefilter from getting caught in the cell(s). STEP 1 Use a large enough container such as a laundry tub or trash container, to hold one or both cell(s). NOTE:

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

As the dirty air passes through the intense high voltage electric field surrounding the ionizer wires, all particles, even the smallest are given an electric charge. The air passes into the collector where the alternate parallel plates have positive and negative charges, creating a uniform electrostatic field. Since opposites attract, the charged particles stick to the collector plates, havin

The average person can detect the odor of ozone in concentrations as low as 0.003 to 0.010 ppm. The U.S. Food and Drug Admini- stration and Health and Welfare Canada recommend that indoor ozone concentration should not exceed 0.050 ppm.
