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.
•
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 efficiency of the air
cleaner, as well as that of the whole
comfort system.
•
The electronic air cleaner must be
properly cleaned and maintained.
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 thermostat. Choose a set-
ting above current room temperature if
heating is required. Set the tempera-
ture 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 indi-
cate that power is available to the cells.
NOTE:
An occasional arcing (snap-
ping) noise is normal during the opera-
tion of your air cleaner. Continuous
arcing, however, indicates that cleaning
is required. Refer to directions on clean-
ing 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 main-
tenance, consider these important safety
precautions:
•
DISCONNECT ALL ELECTRICAL
POWER TO THE AIR CLEANER
AND FURNACE OR AIR HANDLER
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SER-
VICE OR MAINTENANCE.
NOTE:
THERE MAY BE MORE
THAN 1 ELECTRICAL DISCON-
NECT SWITCH.
The prefilter and ionizer/collector cells
should be checked for dirt regularly.
Accumulated dirt needs to be removed
from these components to maintain effi-
cient air filtration.
Regular inspection allows you to deter-
mine 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
installation of a Bryant 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. (See Fig. 3.)

CLEANING PROCEDURES
Regular washing is necessary to insure
proper performance. A thorough
washing once every 2–3 months will
be adequate for most installations.
More frequent washing (once a month)
may be necessary on some installations
(new homes for example) where there
is new carpeting, plaster dust, or there
is above normal cigarette smoke.
(See Fig. 4.)
1. To remove the cells and prefilter
a. Push the air cleaner switch to OFF.
Wait 15 seconds. Open the access
door.
b. Carefully remove the cells and
prefilter, and set aside.
c. Avoid damage to the cell plates
and ionizing wires.
