OPERATING YOUR ELECTRONIC

AIR CLEANER

Your new electronic air cleaner is designed to operate as part

of your heating/cooling system. After the air cleaner is turned

on, it will operate whenever the furnace or air handler blower

is running.

Your electronic air cleaner will perform at maximum efﬁciency

if these recommendations are followed:

• Consider running the heating/cooling system blower con-

tinuously—day and night, winter and summer. Continuous

blower operation provides for constant air ﬁltration. It may

also contribute to greater personal comfort since continuous

blower operation minimizes temperature differences

throughout the home.

• Supply-air and return-air grilles should not be blocked.

Drapes, furniture, and toys are some of the items commonly

found obstructing grilles. Restricted airﬂow reduces the efﬁ-

ciency of the air cleaner, as well as that of the whole comfort

system.

• The electronic air cleaner must be properly cleaned and main-

tained.

START-UP PROCEDURES

1. Ensure the air cleaner’s door handle is engaged, latched,

and power switch turned ON, powering unit.

2. Set the temperature control selector on your indoor ther-

mostat. Choose a setting above current room temperature

if heating is required. Set the temperature control selector

below room temperature if cooling is needed.

3. Set the FAN mode on the thermostat. When set to AUTO,

the air cleaner and system blower will run only while the

thermostat operates the heating or cooling equipment.

When the FAN mode is set at the ON position, the air

cleaner and blower will run continuously—regardless of

whether the cooling or heating equipment is operating.

4. Select operating mode of HEAT, COOL, or AUTO.

NOTE:

The operation light (green) indicates that power is

available to the electronic air cleaner. It does not indicate that

power is available to the cells.

NOTE:

An occasional arcing (snapping) noise is normal dur-

ing the operation of your air cleaner. Continuous arcing, how-

ever, indicates that cleaning is required. Refer to directions on

cleaning your electronic air cleaner.

PERFORMING ROUTINE

MAINTENANCE

With the proper maintenance and care, your electronic air

cleaner will operate economically and dependably. Mainte-

nance can be accomplished easily by referring to the following

directions. However, before performing any maintenance, con-

sider these important safety precautions:

• DISCONNECT ALL ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE AIR

CLEANER AND FURNACE OR AIR HANDLER BEFORE

PERFORMING ANY SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE.

NOTE:

THERE MAY BE MORE THAN 1 ELECTRICAL

DISCONNECT SWITCH.

The preﬁlter and ionizer/collector cells should be checked for

dirt regularly. Accumulated dirt needs to be removed from

these components to maintain efﬁcient air ﬁltration.

Regular inspection allows you to determine the cleaning

schedule best suited to your home’s operating conditions. The

ﬁrst electronic air cleaning of your home may collect more

particles over a shorter period than will be normal for future

operation.

As your air cleaner collects particles, its cleaning efﬁciency

will decline which makes it all the more important to clean

your air cleaner regularly.

At minimum, the preﬁlter and collection cells will need to be

cleaned 4 or 6 times per year. Ask your dealer about the in-

stallation of a Carrier thermostat which has a “Clean Filter”

capability to remind homeowners to check/clean their air

cleaner. After about 400 hr of operation, the thermostat will

display a “Clean Filter” icon when it is time to clean the ﬁlter.
