Supply-air and return-air grilles should
not be blocked. Drapes, furniture, and
toys are some of the items commonly
found obstructing grilles. Restricted air-
flow 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. 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 tem-
perature if cooling is needed.
2. 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 posi-
tion, the air cleaner and blower will
run continuously—regardless of
whether the cooling or heating
equipment is operating.
3. Select operating mode of HEAT,
COOL, or AUTO.
4. Ensure the air cleaner’s door handle
is engaged, powering unit.
NOTE:
The operation light indicates
that power is available to the cells. It
does not indicate that power is available
to the EAC.
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.
ELECTRICAL POWER
DISCONNECT
PROCEDURE
To disconnect the electrical power to
your air cleaner, disengage the air
cleaner handle. You may continue to
operate the rest of your comfort system,
or turn the power off according to the
manufacturer’s specifications.
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
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 two or three
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.
CLEANING PROCEDURES
Cleaning your cells in the dishwasher is
not encouraged by the manufacturer
since many of the captured particles can
stain the inside of your appliance. Dish-
washer cleaning is solely at the discre-
tion of the equipment owner.
1. Turn off electrical supply to the fur-
nace or fan coil.
2. Swing door handle on air cleaner
away from cabinet.
3. Remove door of air cleaner by gen-
tly pulling out and down on door
handle.
4. Remove cells from air cleaner cabi-
net by grasping handle of front cell
and slowly pulling cell out until en-
tire front cell is out of cabinet. Sup-
port cell with other hand as it is
pulled out of cabinet. DO NOT PULL
CELLS OUT QUICKLY since front
cell is connected to back cell and cells
will be damaged if dropped. Note lo-
cation of cell handle for easy reinstal-
lation after cleaning.
5. Tilt front cell to 1 side to disengage
clips connecting front cell to back
cell. Set front cell aside.
6. Remove back cell by grasping han-
dle and slowly pulling out of cabinet.
7. Carry cells by their handles to the
cleaning area.
8. Remove prefilters from each cell.
9. Clean the prefilter. Use a vacuum
cleaner and soft brush attachment to
remove accumulations of dust and
lint. If further cleaning is required,
wash the prefilter with mild deter-
gent and water (or use pressurized
spray from a garden hose or coin-op-
erated carwash sprayer). Rinse.
Then drain excess water from the
prefilter. Thorough drying is op-
tional.
10. To clean the collector cells, fill a large
container with hot water. Add one-
half cup of mild detergent for every
10 gallons of water used. Submerge
the cells in the soapy solution and al-
low to soak for 20 minutes. Rinse
with a garden hose or soak in clean,
hot water for 10 minutes. Allow ex-
cess water to drain from the cells. Al-
low cells to dry thoroughly.
11. Inspect the cells. Check for broken
wires or bent collector plates. If
damage is suspected, contact your
servicing dealer for immediate re-
pair.
12. Carry cells by handles back to air
cleaner cabinet. Reattach prefilters
to each cell.
13. Position both cells so that each han-
dle is closest to the equipment owner
and so furnace arrow on each cell
points towards the furnace.
14. Either cell can be installed as the
front or back cell. Hold cell handle
with one hand and bottom of cell
with other hand and gently slide cell
