Getting The Most From Your Electronic Air Cleaner - Honeywell W8600F Owner's Manual

GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER

Run the electronic For greatest benefit, the air cleaner should run
air cleaner as all the time. To do this, set the fan switch on
much as possible 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.

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.
Keep the cell(s)
Although the air cleaner is designed to be
and prefilter(s)
efficient over a wide range of cell dirt loading
clean
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.
Replace any
