F58G,H AND F58GUV SERIES COMMERCIAL DUCT MOUNTED ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER
9
31-00442—01
OPERATION
Large particles (lint and hair) are caught in the pre-filter. As
the dirty air passes through the intense high-voltage
electric field surrounding the ionizer wires, all particles are
given an electrical charge. The air then moves through the
collector part of the cell where alternate parallel plates are
charged positively and negatively, creating a uniform
electrostatic field. The charged particles are attracted to
and collect on the plates that have the opposite electrical
charge. The air leaving the air cleaner has fewer particles.
Each time the air circulates through the F58, more
particles are removed.
CHECKOUT
Inspecting Installation
Make sure:
• Sheet metal joints between air cleaner and duct are
sealed.
• All sheet metal connections are complete.
• Outside air, if used, is mixed with return air or heated, as
necessary, before it can reach the air cleaner.
• Airflow arrows on the electronic cell point downstream.
• Electronic cell and pre-filter are clean and dry.
Checking Air Cleaner Operation
With all components but UVC tube in place, turn on the air
cleaner switch and energize the power supply. Check the
following points of operation:
1.
ON indicator is lit. CHECK indicator comes on if there
is a problem with the high voltage power supply.
2.
With the air cleaner energized, push the Test button.
A snapping sound indicates that the collector voltage
is present on the cell. CHECK indicator comes on
when the Test button is held down.
3.
If operation is not as described, refer to the Trouble-
shooting section.
4.
Insert UVC to into the lamp-holder per tube replace-
ment (page 11).
WARNING
Before cleaning or other maintenance, the
appliance must be disconnected from the supply
mains.
SERVICE
CAUTION
Sharp Edges.
Can cause personal injury.
Wear protective gloves to prevent cuts from sharp
metal edges.
Cleaning Cells and Pre-filters
To assure optimum performance from the air cleaner, the
cells and pre-filters must be cleaned regularly, every one to
six months. WASH indicator on some models lights to
indicate it is time to wash the pre-filters and cells.
IMPORTANT
Do not wash the pre-filter in an automatic dish-
washer. Vacuum or brush the pre-filter or soak it in
a tub.
Do not use coil cleaner on air cleaner cells.
Cleaning Cells in Automatic
Dishwasher
CAUTION
Burn Hazard.
Can cause personal injury.
Hot water can accumulate in tubes supporting
collector plates; tip cells to drain water from tubes.
Allow cells to cool completely in dishwasher at end
of wash cycle or wear protective gloves to avoid
burns.
IMPORTANT
— Check your dishwasher Owner’s Guide. Some man-
ufacturers do not recommend washing electronic
cells in their dishwasher.
— If your dishwasher has upper and lower arms, posi-
tion the cells carefully to allow good water circula-
tion.
— Be careful to avoid damaging the cells when placing
them in the dishwasher. Broken ionizer wires or bent
collector plates are not included in the Warranty.
— Very dirty cells can discolor the plastic parts and lin-
ing of some dishwashers. This discoloration is not
harmful. To minimize it, wash the cells more fre-
quently or try a different brand of dishwasher deter-
gent.
— Do not allow the dishwasher to run through the dry
cycle. This bakes on any contaminants not removed
during the wash cycle and reduces air cleaner effi-
ciency.
To clean cells in dishwasher:
1.
Put the cells on the lower rack of the dishwasher with
the airflow arrow pointing up. It may be necessary to
remove the upper rack. Do not block water flow to the
upper arm.
HINT: Lay a few large water glasses between the
spikes on the lower rack and rest the cells on them so
the spikes do not damage the aluminum collector
blades.
