The Maintenance Schedule is dependent on the amount of air passing through the filter as well as the amount of dust (pollen, smoke, etc.) in the air. This schedule shows estimated time periods and may be increased or decreased based on actual conditions. 32-5032-03 Congratulations - Your Electronic Air Cleaner is a modern, economical indoor pollution fighter. You should notice a marked improvement in your indoor atmosphere as your Electronic Air Cleaner begins removing those tiny airborne pollution particles, such as dust, pollen, and smoke from the air in your home. Home Care Keeping your home furnishings clean is easier when the air is clean. Most of the dust and grime you must remove is drifting in the air. With your Electronic Air Cleaner operating in your home’s environmental system, walls, windows, mirrors, draperies, and furniture stay cleaner longer. You should have a reduction in the soiling effect of these pollution particles on your home furnishings. Most staining and soiling problems are caused by these minute particles. These particles are so tiny that they are only slightly affected by gravity, and can stick as easily to a wall as to the floor. The soiling of fabrics and the dull film on mirrors and windows are caused by these tiny particles. With your Electronic Air Cleaner operating, you should not have to clean them as often as before. A small percentage of the larger visible particles in your home, such as large dust and lint, are too heavy to stay adrift long enough to be returned to the Electronic Air Cleaner. They settle out on horizontal surfaces and will have to be picked up by dusting as before, though perhaps not quite so often. These visible dust particles represent a small percentage of all the drifting particles in your home. Smoke Smoke is comprised of submicroscopic particles. Collectively, these particles make up the familiar blue haze we all know. In dense concentration the particles form layers and can stay suspended on the air currents for hours. These particles will eventually settle out as a dulling film on mirrors and windows. Your Electronic Air Cleaner can remove nearly all of these particles before they have a chance to soil your home and its furnishings. Pollen Pollens are also drifting particles, some which can be seen, but many are invisible to the eye. Your Electronic Air Cleaner removes almost all of the pollen particles circulated to it. How the Electronic Air Cleaner Works. Air Cleaner Cabinet Electronic Cell Pre-Filter Electronic Cell Power Door Power Pack 1/4 Turn Latch (Lock Position) 1/4 Turn Latch (Unlock Position) Figure 1. Electronic Air Cleaner Cabinet with 1” Pre-Filter Components A. The cabinet is installed into the return ductwork of your air conditioning system. B. The Power Door located on the front of the Cabinet, contains the electronic components that provide power for the Air Cleaner and allows the removal of the Electronic Cells and Pre-filter when cleaning is required. The On/Off switch and indicator light are located on the front panel of the Power Pack. The power cord plugs into the receptacle below the ON/OFF switch. C. The Pre-filter catches large dust particles and lint before they reach the Electronic Cells. D. The Electronic Cells contain the ionizing grids and collecting plates which electronically remove the dirt, pollen, and smoke particles from the air passing through them. Page 2 How It Works The air in your home is circulated through your heating and/or cooling system, maintaining the temperature at a comfortable level. At the same time, the circulated return air is passing through the Electronic Air Cleaner. Millions of small dirt particles such as smoke and pollen, most of them so small as to be invisible, are carried by the returning air to the Electronic Air Cleaner. To familiarize you with the operation of the Electronic Air Cleaner, here is a brief Fan & Filter Operation Your Air Cleaner only operates when air is circulating through the unit; consequently, it operates only when the furnace or air conditioner fan operates. Your Air Cleaner can do more for you if the fan operates continuously. Most thermostats have a switch that will permit continuous fan operation. However, it must be understood that continuous fan operation will increase operating expense somewhat. On/Off Switch & Indicator Light Your Electronic Air Cleaner has an air flow sensor that will provide power to the electronic cells when your conditioning air system fan is on. For fully automatic operation, just turn the switch on the front of the Power Pack “ON”. The Air Cleaner will be on whenever the fan runs. Green Light Power Switch 4. As the air carries these charged particles into the collector section of the Electronic Cells, they are magnetically drawn against metal plates by the action of the powerful electrical field. This process is comparable to a magnet attracting iron filings. 5. These particles cling to the metal plates and the now filtered air pa...
