OPERATION
1.
With the 120 VAC power turned on at the circuit
breaker for the furnace, push the air cleaner ON-OFF
switch to the “ON” position (Figure 20).
2.
With the furnace blower running, the air cleaner will
be operating. An arcing or “snapping” sound may be
heard. This will occur occasionally, however the unit
is operating properly.
3.
With the furnace blower running, the Operating Light
should be ON. If the Operating Light is not ON this
signifies that the cells need washing, or that trouble
exists in the unit.
If, after washing the cells, the Operating Light stays off,
the cell could be wet, improperly placed in the cabinet or
may need servicing.
NOTE: An occasional flicker of the light accompanied by
harmless sparking or snapping noise may occur. This is
caused by trapping large particles of dirt. If arcing is
continuous, the cells should be washed or checked for
service problems see Basic SST Service Guide.
4.
Remove the cell(s) and pre-filter(s) from cabinet.
Using a solution of warm water and low sudsing
detergent, soak cell(s) and pre-filter(s) for 20 to 30
minutes.
NOTE: Ionizing wires may become coated causing
loss of cleaning ability by the collecting cell. Using a
damp cloth, wipe each ionizing wire, exercising care
not to damage them.
5.
Remove the cell(s) and pre-filter(s) from solution and
rinse thoroughly with clean water.
6
Allow cell(s) and pre-filter(s) to drip dry for a mini-
mum of 2 hours. Cell(s) and pre-filter(s) may be
tipped at a slight angle to expedite the drip-dry pro-
cess.
7.
Reinstall the cell(s) and pre-filter(s) in the cabinet.
8.
Replace the power pack. Turn furnace fan on. After
30 minutes push ON-OFF switch on the power pack
to the “ON” position.
A moderate amount of arcing or “snapping” may
occur at this time, which will indicate that the cell(s)
are still damp. If the noise is objectionable, push the
ON-OFF switch to the “OFF” position and allow
additional time for cell(s) and pre-filter(s) to dry. In
some cases the Operating Light will remain OFF
during this initial activation of the air cleaner, and this
would indicate that the cell(s) are not completely dry.
The Operating Light should remain ON while the
furnace fan is running once the drying is complete.
MAINTENANCE AND
WASHING
CAUTION
!
CABINET AND CELLS MAY CON-
TAIN SHARP EDGES.
Use care when servicing unit or han-
dling cells.
Failure to do so could result in mi-
nor personal injury.
For maximum efficiency your air cleaner cell(s) and pre-
filter(s) should be inspected once a month and cleaned
when necessary. Cleaning will usually be required every
one to three months, depending upon the particular
household circumstances. When cleaning is required the
following procedure should be used:
CLEANING THE CELLS
1.
Turn the air moving system “OFF.”
2.
Push the ON-OFF switch on the power pack to the
“OFF” position (Figure 20). Wait 15 seconds and both
the power pack and the collecting cell(s) will be
automatically discharged.
3.
Release the latch on top of power pack and pull the
power pack straight away from cabinet at the top.
Then lift pack out of ledge at bottom edge of cabinet.
Set power pack aside.
