STEP 5
Rinse the cell(s) and prefilter with a hard spray
of very hot water; rinse the tub clean, then fill
the tub with clean hot water and soak for 5 to 15
minutes. Rinse until the water draining from the
cell(s) and prefilter no longer feels slippery.
STEP 6
Wipe the ionizer wires and contact board on the
end of the cell with a clean cloth.
Use the hand sprayer at a coin-operated do-it-
yourself car wash to wash the cell(s) and
prefilter. Hold the nozzle at least two feet away
from the unit to avoid damage from the high
pressure stream of water. Follow the same
sequence of wash and rinse as recommended
for cars; however, do not wax the cell(s) or the
prefilter. Be sure to rinse until the water draining
from the cell(s) and prefilter no longer feels
slippery.
Just as with a conventional return air grille, lint
and dust will collect on the grille and door of
your electronic air cleaner. This can be removed
during normal house cleaning by dusting or by
using the brush attachment on your vacuum
cleaner. If the door becomes stained, so that it
cannot be cleaned by dusting, the door can be
removed and soaked in a tub, or wiped clean
using a mild spray cleaner.
STEP 1
Inspect the cell(s) for broken ionizer wires and
bent collector plates. Repair as necessary or
take to a Honeywell authorized air cleaner
repair station.
