Honeywell F50F manual Getting The Most From Your Electronic Air Cleaner

GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER

Run the electronic air cleaner as much as possible

Keep the cell(s) and prefilter(s) clean

Replace any activated carbon filters in the ductwork regularly

For greatest benefit, 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 switched ON. The fan and air cleaner will 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). The cost of running the system fan will vary with the size of your fan motor and the cost of electricity where you live. Most air cleaner owners feel that the added cost is more than offset by the added benefits of full time air cleaning and full time air circulation. You may feel that the room temperature stays more even when the fan is always on.

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 cell and prefilter reduces air flow and, in turn, reduces the efficiency of the furnace or air conditioner. The cell wash reminder sched- ule or the optional W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor should be used to maintain a regular wash schedule.

An activated carbon (charcoal) filter is some- times installed downstream of the air cleaner to help control odors. This filter should be changed at least annually, or as recommended by the filter manufacturer. Honeywell does not offer carbon filters for this application.
