F300 ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER

Washing Cells at the Car Wash
Use the hand sprayer at a coin-operated do-it-yourself car
wash to clean the cells. Hold the nozzle at least two feet away
from the unit to avoid damage (such as broken ionizer wires or
bent collector plates) from the high pressure stream of water.
See Fig. 14. Follow the same sequence of wash and rinse as
recommended for cars. However, do not wax the cells. Be sure
to rinse until the water draining from the cells no longer feels
slippery.

Reinstall the Cells and Prefilters
1. Inspect the cells for broken ionizer wires and bent collec-
tor plates. Repair as necessary or take to a
Honeywell Authorized Air Cleaner Repair Station.
2. Slide the prefilters into the upstream prefilter guides.
3. Slide in the air cleaner cells so the airflow arrow points
downstream and the handles faces outward.
4. Firmly close the access door.
5. Turn on the air cleaner. If the cells and prefilters are wet,
the neon light may not come on and you may hear
arcing. If the arcing is annoying, simply turn off the air
cleaner for two to three hours or until the cells are dry.
Replacing Media Postfilters
To maximize the filtration efficiency of the media postfilters,
replace them every six months. Replacement filters are
available in the same size and configuration as the original
unit. Contact your local Honeywell distributor to purchase
replacement filters. Install the replacement filters exactly as the
filters provided with the equipment. Use the Service Reminder
Schedule at the end of this document to help you establish and
maintain a regular replacement schedule. Keep your Service
Reminder Schedule in a convenient location.
Replacing Ionizer Wires
Broken or bent ionizer wires can cause an electrical short to
ground, often resulting in visible arcing or sparking. Do not use
cells until broken wires are removed. Cells can be used
temporarily with one wire missing, but replace the wire as soon
as possible.
Replacement wires are supplied cut to length with eyelets on
both ends for easy installation. See Parts and Accessories Not
Illustrated section. To install:
1. Hook the eyelet on one end of the wire over the spring
connector on one end of the cell. See Fig. 15. Be careful
to avoid damaging spring connectors or other parts of
the cells.
2. Hold the opposite eyelet with a needle nose pliers and
stretch the wire the length of the cell. Depress the
opposite spring connector and hook the eyelet over it.
3. Check the cell for short circuits using an ohmmeter; see
Fig. 16. Check the resistance between the frame of the
cell and both the ionizer and the collector contacts. In
each case, the resistance should be infinite.
