Emerson 16C26S-010 owner manual Maintenance Washing, Cleaning the Cells

An alternate method for controlling the air cleaner operation is to install an F859-0381 Air Flow Switch/ Harness Kit (available separately) that switches power to the air cleaner when airflow is detected.

NOTE: The air cleaner should not be operating un- less the furnace blower is on.

11.With the cabinet Installed, reinstall pre-filter(s) and collecting cell(s) (Figure 20).

NOTE: The contact button and handles on the cell must be facing you and ionizing wires must be on the air intake side.

12. Install the power pack as follows:

Engage the lip on lower inside edge of power pack in the flange on cabinet and carefully close the power pack, making sure that the electrical connector prongs on the power pack enter the slots in the socket on cabinet. When the power pack is fully in place, en- gage the latch and snap it closed.

OPERATION

1.With the 120 VAC power turned on at the circuit breaker for the furnace, push the air cleaner ON-OFF switch to the “ON” position (Figure 21).

2.With the furnace blower running, the air cleaner will be operating. An arcing or “snapping” sound may be heard. This will occur occasionally, however the unit is operating properly.

3.With the furnace blower running, the Operating Light

should be ON. If the Operating Light is not ON this signifies that the cells need washing, or that trouble exists in the unit.

If, after washing the cells, the Operating Light stays off, the cell could be wet, improperly placed in the cabinet or may need servicing.

NOTE: An occasional flicker of the light accompanied by harmless sparking or snapping noise may occur. This is

caused by trapping large particles of dirt. If arcing isFigure 21 continuous, the cells should be washed or checked for

service problems see Basic UST Service Guide.

TAIN SHARP EDGES.

Use care when servicing unit or han- dling cells.

Failure to do so could result in mi- nor personal injury.

For maximum efficiency your air cleaner cell(s) and pre- filter(s) should be inspected once a month and cleaned when necessary. Cleaning will usually be required every one to three months, depending upon the particular household circumstances. When cleaning is required the following procedure should be used:

CLEANING THE CELLS

1.Turn the air moving system “OFF.”

2.Push the ON-OFF switch on the power pack to the “OFF” position (Figure 21). Wait 15 seconds and both the power pack and the collecting cell(s) will be automatically discharged.
