Honeywell F52F manual Cleaning the Cells and Prefilter, Setting a regular cleaning schedule

CLEANING THE CELL(S) AND PREFILTER

Setting a regular cleaning schedule

To ensure optimum performance from the air cleaner, the cell(s) and prefilter must be cleaned regularly—every one to six months. Washing frequency will vary depending on the number of family members, pets, activities (such as cooking, woodworking, etc.) and smoking habits. Use the wash reminder schedule included in the literature package to help establish and maintain a regular cleaning schedule.

If your air cleaner has a W8600E Indicator (shown on page 2), the WASH LED will light to remind you that a cell and prefilter washing is past due. When the WASH LED comes on, it means that the cell(s) are loaded with dirt to the point that air cleaning efficiency is diminished. You should plan to wash the cell(s) and prefilter as soon as possible. By using the wash reminder schedule, a washing schedule can be established that keeps the cell(s) clean enough so the WASH LED does not come on.

If you find that the WASH LED is coming on more frequently than the schedule that was established on the wash reminder schedule, you may have a buildup of residue on the ionizer wires. If the collector plates on the cell(s) look clean, you can try wiping the ionizer wires with a clean cloth instead of washing the entire cell.

You can also consider whether some activity in your home has changed, causing the cell(s) to become dirty faster. Have the windows been open more often? Has someone been smoking more often? Has someone taken up woodworking?

NOTE: You can let the heating or air conditioning system operate normally while the cell(s) is being washed. Simply turn off the air cleaner switch.
