•

Outside air, if used, is mixed with return air or heated, as
necessary, before it can reach the air cleaner.

•

Airflow arrows on the electronic cell point downstream.

•

Prefilter is on the upstream side of the cell.

•

Cell handle faces outward.

•

Electronic cell and prefilter are clean and dry.

•

W8600F (if included) wiring connections are properly
made.

With all components in place, turn on the air cleaner switch
and energize the system blower. Check the following points
of operation:

1. The neon light next to the on-off switch is on. If a

W8600F is part of the installation, also check the wall
panel and make sure the ON indicator is lit. The
W8600F FAULT indicator will come on if there is a
problem with the high voltage power supply.

2. Turn off the system blower. The neon light should go

off after a few seconds. The neon light shows that the
air cleaner is energized and the high voltage power
supply is working properly.

3. With a multispeed blower, repeat steps 1 and 2 for

each fan speed.

4. If operation is not as described, refer to the

Troubleshooting section.

Sharp Edges.
Can cause personal injury.
Carefully handle the cell(s) or wear protective gloves
to avoid cuts from the sharp metal edges.

To assure optimum performance from the air cleaner, the
cell(s) and prefilter(s) must be cleaned regularly—every one
to six months. Washing frequency will vary depending on the
number of family members, pets, activities (such as cooking
or woodworking) and smoking habits. Use the wash
reminder schedule on the last page of this document to help
establish and maintain a regular cleaning schedule. Keep
your wash reminder schedule in a convenient location.

If the air cleaner has a W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor the
SERVICE indicator will activate to indicate that it is time to
wash the prefilter(s) and cell(s). The time between activation
of the SERVICE indicator is based on air cleaner run time
that is selected by the installer at installation. See W8600F
installation instructions, page 8, for instructions on selecting
air cleaner run time. Pressing the Reset button on the
bottom right corner of the housing resets the W8600F
SERVICE indicator. See Fig. 8.

If the air cleaner has a W8600A AIRWATCH Indicator, the Air
Cleaner LCD arrow will blink to indicate it is time to wash the
prefilter(s) and cell(s). The time between activation of the Air
Cleaner LCD is based on air cleaner run time that is
selected at installation. See Set DIP Switches section in the
W8600A installation instructions for information on selecting
air cleaner run time. After servicing the filters, press and hold
the reset button for 10 seconds or until the LCD arrow is no
longer displayed to reset the W8600A AIRWATCH Indicator.

Alternatively, the electronic air cleaner can be wired with
conduit.

1. Open access door.
2. Remove and retain the (2) screws from the front of the

power box and the (2) screws from the sides of the
power box. See Fig. 19.

3. In the power box, remove and retain (2) wire nuts that

connect the line cord leads to the power box wiring.

4. Remove the power cord green lead from the green

grounding screw on the wiring compartment barrier.

5. Remove the power cord and the strain relief.
6. Install the plug (provided with the literature pack) in the

hole left by the power cord.

7. Attach conduit through a power box side knockout.
8. Wire the air cleaner directly to line voltage using wire

nuts. See Fig. 20. Secure ground connection to the
green ground screw on the wiring compartment
barrier.

9. Replace power supply cover and access door.

Large particles (lint, hair) are caught by the prefilter. As the
dirty air passes through the intense high voltage electric field
surrounding the ionizer wires, all particles are given an
electrical charge. The air then moves through the collector
part of the cell where alternate parallel plates are charged
positively and negatively, creating a uniform electrostatic
field. The charged particles are attracted to and collected on
the plates that have the opposite electrical charge. The air
leaving the air cleaner has fewer particles. Each time the air
circulates through the electronic air cleaner, more particles
are removed.

Make sure:
•

Turning vanes and transitions, as needed, are properly
installed.

•

Sheet metal joints between air cleaner and furnace are sealed.

•

All sheet metal connections are complete.

•

Original furnace filter has been removed and the blower
compartment cleaned.

•

If atomizing humidifier is installed upstream from the air
cleaner, a disposable furnace filter is installed between
the humidifier and the air cleaner.
