Nordyne 707831C Maintenance, Replacing the Glass Fiber Pads, General Notes

Maintenance

Before using your new AireCare TM Electronic Air Filter, hold it up to a strong light. You will notice a clearly visible rectangular frame sand- wiched in the center of the electronic air filter. As the electronic air filter is used, the glass fiber pads in the filter will become imbedded with dirt. ONCE A MONTH, disconnect the power cord, remove the filter from your heating/cooling unit, and vacuum any heavy dust accumulation from the outside screens with a soft brush attached to the vacuum hose. Once this is done, hold the electronic air filter up to a strong light, tf you can see the outline inside the frame (as described above), put the filter back into your unit.

When you can no longer see the outline of the inside frame, it is time to replace the glass fiber

pads. These are available from your

NORDYNE distributor. Please refer to the distributor list included with the furnace home- owner packet for the distributor nearest you. The filter pads will normally have to be replaced every three to six months.

Replacing the Glass Fiber Pads

1.Turn off power to the furnace.

2.Unplug the electronic air filter from the power cord.

3.After vacuuming any accumulated dust from the outside screens, undo the two

clips holding the halves of the electronic air filter together and open like a book.

4.Note that the electrode (a metal screen) is located between the glass fiber pads. Both

the electrode and its connecting wire must be located between the pads when they are replaced.

5.Remove and discard the two dirty pads.

6.With the electronic air filter lying open on a flat surface, insert two clean pads. Make sure the pads are well centered in the frame, and the one pad goes under the electrode.

7.Close the filter and replace the two clips which hold it together. Ensure that the pads did not shift as you close it (there should be no gaps between the fiber pads and the edge of the frame).

8.Reconnect the power cord. Make sure the power light is on, and put the AireCare TM Electronic Air Filter back in your furnace.

General Notes

If the indicator light does not come on when the electronic air filter is connected, this indicates the filter is not working. Check cable connec- tions, fuse and power source, tf these appear correct contact your NORDYNE distributor.

Normal maintenance periods are EVERY MONTH to remove accumulated dust from the outside screens, and EVERY THREE TO SIX MONTHS to replace the glass fiber pads.

Neither the electronic air filter nor the glass fiber pads can be cleaned by washing or immersing in water. If you wish to clean the electronic air filter, wipe gently with a cloth soaked in paint thinner. This should be done outside or in a well ventilated area.

Use only genuine AireCare :Mreplacement glass fiber pads. Substitutes will not work as well, if at all.

If you experience any difficulties with your AireCare TM Electronic Air Filter, contact your NORDYNE distributor.
