BREATH OF
SPRING-FRESH AIR . . .
YEAR-ROUND
Congratulations on your excellent
choice and sound investment in this
addition to your home comfort
system.
Your electronic air cleaner represents
both the latest in engineering develop-
ment and the culmination of many years
of experience from one of the most rep-
utable manufacturers of comfort sys-
tems.
Your new unit is among the most
energy-efficient and reliable air filtra-
tion products available today. To assure
its dependability, spend just a few min-
utes with this booklet now. Learn about
the operation of your electronic air
cleaner and the small amount of mainte-
nance it takes to keep it operating at peak
efficiency.
With minimal care, your electronic air
cleaner will provide you and your fam-
ily with clean, healthy, and comfortable
air—from season to season, and year to
year.
YOUR ELECTRONIC
AIR CLEANING UNIT
YOUR INDOOR AIR POLLUTION
SOLUTION
The highest value of clean air is in its
contribution to the good health and com-
fort of you and your family. Additional
benefits include potential savings in
home heating, cooling, and maintenance
costs.
Your new air cleaner will electronically
filter out microscopic particles as small
as 0.01 micron. At that size, it would
take 100,000 particles to cover the head
of a pin. Such particles are 500 times
smaller than the smallest grains of dust
trapped by conventional furnace filters.
Airborne pollutants commonly found in
the household are lint, dust, ash, pet hair
and dander, pollen, fungus, spores, bac-
teria, viruses, cooking grease, and pos-
sibly tobacco smoke odors.
By ridding your home of most of these
pollutants, the whole family can breathe
fresher, safer air. Moreover, family
members suffering from hay fever,
asthma, or allergies may find relief,
since electronic filtering removes many
of the airborne particles responsible for
aggravating these ailments. Electronic
filtering removes airborne particles
before they have a chance to settle, so
walls, windows, draperies, and
furnishings stay clean and bright
longer.
If your home is equipped with central air
conditioning or a heat pump, electronic
air cleaning can optimize your system’s
performance by keeping the indoor
coil clean. At today’s energy rates,
the potential savings can be
significant.
HOW YOUR AIR CLEANER
WORKS
Contaminated air enters the prefilter (the
mesh filter) where the larger airborne
particles are removed. These include
hair, fibers from carpets and drapes, pet
hair, and some lint particles. (See Fig.
1a.)
The air then passes through the ionizer/
collector cells. The ionizer wires pro-
duce positive ions that give airborne par-
ticles a positive electrical charge.
(See Fig. 1b.)
Opposites attract: Airflow continues,
passing between the collector plates.
The positively charged particles are
attracted and trapped by the grounded
collector plates. (See Fig. 1c.) These
particles continue to cling to the plates
until you or your service technician
remove the plates for cleaning.
Meanwhile, the purified air leaves the
air cleaner and circulates into your liv-
ing space. (See Fig. 1d.)

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 recom-
mendations are followed:
•
Consider running the heating/cooling
system blower continuously—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.
