F50F AND F300E ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANERS 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. 69-0756-05 4
