Fig. 2. Installation dimensions of Electronic Air Cleaner in in. (mm).

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION

For most efficient air cleaning, airflow must be spread evenly
across the face of the air cleaner. If the duct is a different
size than the air cleaner cabinet, gradual transitions are
recommended. If the duct turns sharply just before the air
cleaner, turning vanes are recommended.

Application
The F300E Electronic Air Cleaner is used in a forced air
heating, cooling, or ventilating system. It removes airborne
particles from the air circulated through it. All models have
an internal air flow switch that operates the air cleaner when
the system blower is on.

Applications with Air Conditioning
The air cleaner should be installed upstream from the
evaporator coil. The air cleaner will help keep the coil clean,
reducing maintenance.

Review Installation Requirements

Applications with a Humidifier

The air cleaner should be installed where all the air passing
through the system circulates through it. The best location is
in the return air duct next to the blower compartment so the
air cleaner can help keep the blower motor and evaporator
coils clean.

An evaporative humidifier can be mounted upstream from
the air cleaner. An atomizing humidifier should be mounted
downstream from the air cleaner, even though hard water
salts will be blown into the living space and deposited as
dust. If an atomizing humidifier must be mounted upstream
from the air cleaner:

IMPORTANT
Do not mount in the discharge air duct.

68-0240-1

F300E ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER
1. Mount it as far as possible upstream from the air
cleaner.
2. Install a standard disposable furnace filter between the
humidifier and the air cleaner to trap water droplets
and hard water salts.
3. Frequently clean the air cleaner to prevent a hard
water salt buildup.
NOTE:

Optional W8600A AIRWATCH™ Indicator
The W8600A can be mounted next to the thermostat or in
any other location in the living area of the home where the
display can be conveniently observed. No wiring is
necessary.

Choose Location
Choose a location that is readily accessible for regular
inspection and cleaning. Allow at least 13 in. (330 mm) in
front of the access door for removing the prefilter and
electronic cell. Allow enough room above the power supply
so it can be serviced without removing pipes, ducts, or other
heating system components.

The volume of water that passes through an
atomizing humidifier can overload the air
cleaner, resulting in hard water salts being
deposited as dust in the living space.

Applications with an Activated Carbon Filter
An activated carbon (charcoal) filter can be used to remove
odors or other gaseous contaminants (not particle-based)
that are not removed by the air cleaner. Locate the carbon
filter:
• Downstream from the air cleaner. This means that dust
from the carbon filter will not be collected by the air
cleaner and will be deposited in the living space.
• Outside the air cleaner cabinet. Some carbon filters are
combustible and contact with high voltage could result in
smoke or fire.
• Where carbon granules cannot fall into the electronic cell.
If necessary, use a disposable furnace filter between the
carbon filter and the electronic cell.
• With proper transitions, if the activated carbon filter
requires a differently sized duct than the air cleaner. Allow
20 degrees expansion per side, per fitting.
NOTE:

The air cleaner must be installed where the temperature will
not exceed 40° to 125°F (4° to 52°C).

Choose Mounting Position

WARNING
Heavy Equipment.
Can cause injury or equipment damage.
Do not mount the air cleaner with the access door
facing down. If the access door faces down, the latch
may not hold, and the cell and prefilter can fall
unexpectedly. Also, nothing holds the cell and
prefilter in place when the access door is opened.
The air cleaner can be mounted in any position except with
the access door facing down. Following is a list of air cleaner
mounting positions for a variety of furnace installations.

Honeywell does not offer carbon filters. Refer to
an activated carbon filter manufacturer for sizing
and application.

NOTE:

Applications with Outdoor Air Intake
Return air temperature must be at least 40°F (4°C). Lower
temperatures can cause ionizer wire failure. If outdoor air is
used, warm it upstream from the air cleaner by:
• Making sure the outdoor intake is far enough upstream
from the air cleaner so the return and outdoor air is
thoroughly mixed. Stratified air can dump a stream of very
cold air into one section of the air cleaner.
• Adding baffles upstream from the air cleaner to force
thorough air mixing.
• Installing a Honeywell Home Ventilation System that
transfers up to 80 percent of the heat from the exhaust air
to the incoming outside air. This keeps the incoming air
above 40°F (4°C) and reduces energy usage.
• Installing a preheater if large amounts of outdoor air are
used. The preheater, which could be an electric strip
heater or hot water coil, should be controlled by a
thermostat. Hot water or steam coils should be protected
by a freeze-up control.

Optional W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor
—

The terminal board is recessed slightly so it or the wires will
not interfere with installation. The entire power supply box
can be unplugged and removed to provide access to the
terminals. The W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor can be mounted
in the living area or in the furnace room. It should be located
in a convenient location to observe the display.

At least 13 in. (330 mm) clearance is required
between the access door and any obstructions
for cell and prefilter maintenance.

Turning Vanes

Determine Duct Design Requirements
The air cleaner is adaptable to all new or existing forced air
heating, cooling and ventilating systems used in residential
applications. Transitions, turning vanes, or offsets may be
needed in some applications for effective operation.

If the air cleaner is installed close to an elbow or angle
fitting, install turning vanes inside the angle to distribute
airflow more evenly across the face of the cell. See Fig. 5.

Transitions

If the duct connection to the furnace in a side installation
allows less than 7 in. (178 mm) for mounting the air cleaner
cabinet, add an offset to the elbow. See Fig. 5.

Offsets

Transitions are needed when the duct is a different size than
the air cleaner cabinet. Gradual transitions reduce air
turbulence and increase efficiency. Limit expansion to no
more than 20 degrees or about 4 in. per running foot (100
mm per 300 linear mm) on each side of a transition fitting.
See Fig. 4.

OPERATION

Cleaning the Cell(s) and Prefilter(s)

Large particles (lint, hair) are caught by the prefilter. 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 collected 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 electronic air cleaner, more particles
are removed.

To assure optimum performance from the air cleaner, the
cell(s) and prefilter(s) must be cleaned regularly—every one
to six months. Washing frequency will vary depending on the
number of family members, pets, activities (such as cooking
or woodworking) and smoking habits. Use the wash
reminder schedule on the last page of this document to help
establish and maintain a regular cleaning schedule. Keep
your wash reminder schedule in a convenient location.
If the air cleaner has a W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor the
SERVICE indicator will activate to indicate that it is time to
wash the prefilter(s) and cell(s). The time between activation
of the SERVICE indicator is based on air cleaner run time
that is selected by the installer at installation. See W8600F
installation instructions, page 8, for instructions on selecting
air cleaner run time. Pressing the Reset button on the
bottom right corner of the housing resets the W8600F
SERVICE indicator. See Fig. 8.

CHECKOUT
Inspect the Installation
Make sure:
• Turning vanes and transitions, as needed, are properly
installed.
• Sheet metal joints between air cleaner and furnace are sealed.
• All sheet metal connections are complete.
• Original furnace filter has been removed and the blower
compartment cleaned.
• If atomizing humidifier is installed upstream from the air
cleaner, a disposable furnace filter is installed between
the humidifier and the air cleaner.

If the air cleaner has a W8600A AIRWATCH Indicator, the Air
Cleaner LCD arrow will blink to indicate it is time to wash the
prefilter(s) and cell(s). The time between activation of the Air
Cleaner LCD is based on air cleaner run time that is
selected at installation. See Set DIP Switches section in the
W8600A installation instructions for information on selecting
air cleaner run time. After servicing the filters, press and hold
the reset button for 10 seconds or until the LCD arrow is no
longer displayed to reset the W8600A AIRWATCH Indicator.

F300E ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER
NOTE:

To let the heating or air conditioning system
operate normally while the cell(s) are being
washed, simply turn off the air cleaner switch.

Washing the Cell(s) in a Container

CAUTION

Vacuum the prefilter or brush, or soak it in a tub. Do not
wash the prefilter in the dishwasher or car wash.

Hazardous Chemical.
Can cause personal injury.
• Do not splash the detergent solution in eyes. Wear
rubber gloves to avoid prolonged detergent
contact with skin.
• Keep detergent and solution out of reach of
children.

Automatic Dishwasher

CAUTION
Burn Hazard.
Can cause personal injury.
Allow the cell(s) to cool completely in the dishwasher
at the end of the wash cycle or wear protective
gloves to avoid burns. Hot water can accumulate in
the tubes supporting the collector plates. Tip the
cell(s) so these tubes will drain.

NOTE: Always wash the cell(s) first, then the
prefilter(s), to keep heavy prefilter lint from
getting caught in the cell(s).
1. Use a large enough container, such as a laundry tub
or trash container, to hold one or both cell(s).

Record wash times on the chart on last page.

NOTE: Sharp corners on the cell(s) can scratch the
surface of a bathtub.

IMPORTANT
• Check the dishwasher owner’s manual. Some
manufacturers do not recommend washing
electronic cell(s) in their dishwashers.
• If the dishwasher has upper and lower arms,
position the cell(s) carefully to allow good water
circulation.
• Be careful to avoid damaging the cell(s) when
placing them in the dishwasher. Broken ionizer
wires or bent collector plates are not included in the
warranty.
• Very dirty cell(s), especially from tobacco or
cooking smoke, can discolor the plastic parts and
the lining of some dishwashers. This discoloration is
not harmful. To minimize it, wash the cell(s) more
frequently or try a different brand of detergent.
• Do not allow the dishwasher to run through the
dry cycle. This will bake on any contaminants not
removed during the wash cycle and reduce air
cleaner efficiency.

2. Dissolve about 3/4 cup of automatic dishwasher
detergent per cell in enough hot water to cover the
cell(s). If the detergent does not dissolve readily, or
forms a scum on the water, try another brand, or use
softened water.
3. After the detergent has completely dissolved, place
the cell(s) in the container and let soak for 15 to 20
minutes. Agitate up and down a few times, and
remove. See Fig. 21.
4. Next, wash the prefilter(s) the same way. Empty and
rinse the wash container.

WEAR GLOVES
TO PROTECT
HANDS FROM
DETERGENT
SOLUTION.

1. Put the cell(s) 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 cell(s)
on them so the spikes do not damage the
aluminum collector blades.

2. Using regular dishwashing detergent, allow the
dishwasher to run through the complete wash and
rinse cycle. Do not use the dry cycle. To avoid burns,
let the cell(s) cool completely before removing, or wear
protective gloves when removing the cell(s).
Remember that water may be trapped inside the
cell(s). Tip the cell(s) so the tubes can drain.
3. Wipe the ionizer wires and contact board on the end of
the cell using thumb and forefinger with a small, damp
cloth.
4. Inspect the dishwasher. Rerun the wash and/or rinse
cycle with the dishwasher empty if there is dirt or
residue from washing the cell(s). If dirt or residue
seems excessive, wash the cell(s) more often or try a
different detergent.

5. Rinse the cell(s) and prefilter(s) 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(s)
no longer feels slippery.
6. Soak cell(s) and prefilter(s) in a final clear water rinse
for ten minutes.
7. Wipe the ionizer wires and contact board on the end of
the cell using your thumb and forefinger with a small,
damp cloth.

Reinstall the Cell(s) and Prefilter(s)
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.
2. Slide the prefilter(s) into the upstream prefilter guides.
3. Slide in the air cleaner cell(s) so the airflow arrow
points downstream and the handle(s) faces outward.
4. Firmly close the access door.
5. Turn on the air cleaner. If the cell(s) and prefilter(s) are
wet, the neon light may not come on and you may hear
arcing. If the arcing is annoying, simply turn off the air
cleaner for two to three hours or until the cell(s) is dry.

M6155

Fig. 22. Use ohmmeter to check electronic
cells for short circuits.

If the air cleaner has an Air Cleaner Monitor, the FAULT
indicator may activate when the cell(s) and prefilter(s) are
wet. Again, if the FAULT indicator is annoying, simply turn off
the air cleaner for two to three hours or until the cell(s) and
prefilter(s) are dry.

REPLACING AN IONIZER WIRE.

Replacing Ionizer Wires
Broken or bent ionizer wires can cause an electrical short to
ground, often resulting in visible arcing or sparking. Do not
use cell(s) until broken wires are removed. Cells can be used
temporarily with one wire missing, but replace the wire as
soon as possible.
Replacement wires are supplied cut to length with eyelets on
both ends for easy installation. See Parts and Accessories
not illustrated on Page 18 for Part No. To install:
1. Hook the eyelet on one end of the wire over the spring
connector on one end of the cell. See Fig. 23. Be
careful to avoid damaging the spring connector or
other parts of the cell.
2. Hold the opposite eyelet with a needle nose pliers and
stretch the wire the length of the cell. Depress the
opposite spring connector and hook the eyelet over it.
3. Check the cell for short circuits using an ohmmeter.
Check the resistance between the frame of the cell
and both the ionizer and the collector contacts. In each
case, the resistance should be infinite. See Fig. 24.

Modification to Reduce Ozone Odor

WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard.
Can cause personal injury.
Only a trained service technician should perform the
following procedure.

WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard.
Can cause personal injury.
Always disconnect power and open the access door
before opening the power supply cover.

2. This will reduce ozone production about 20 to 25
percent and reduce efficiency about seven to ten
percent, depending on actual airflow delivered by the
furnace blower.
a. Unplug or disconnect power supply to the air
cleaner.
b. Open the access door.
c. Remove the power box cover. See Fig. 25.
d. Locate J5 shorting bar on the power supply. See
Fig. 26. Remove the shorting bar and reinstall on
only one pin.

The electronic air cleaner generates a small amount of
ozone in normal operation. During the first week or two of
operation, the amount may be higher because of sharp
edges on some of the new high voltage metal parts. Normal
use quickly dulls these edges.
The average person can detect the odor of ozone in
concentrations as low as 0.003 to 0.010 parts per million
(ppm). The electronic air cleaner contributes 0.005 to 0.010
ppm of ozone to the indoor air. The U.S. Food and Drug
Administration and Health and Welfare Canada recommend
that indoor ozone concentration should not exceed
0.050 ppm. As a comparison, the outdoor ozone level in
major cities is sometimes as high 0.100 ppm.

NOTE: The ozone will be reduced, but the shorting
bar is available for reinstallation if needed.
e.
f.

Replace the power supply cover and access the
door. Turn on the power.
Repeat the checkout procedure before leaving
the job.

However, if desired, the ozone generated by the air cleaner
can be reduced in one of two ways:
1. Install an activated carbon filter downstream from the
air cleaner. Make sure particles from the air filter
cannot fall into the air cleaner.
REMOVE POWER BOX FROM AIR CLEANER AND REMOVE THE COVER.
