Answer:Yes however, please check with the manufacturer of the dishwasher before proceeding with the same.

Answer:Like other household appliances (hairdryers, mixers and electric fans), the Honeywell Electronic Air Cleaner, and any other high efficiency electronic air cleaner, will produce trace levels of ozone when they are running. In extensive testing of electronic air cleaners performance both in test chambers and in actual homes, under normal operating conditions, ozone levels measured are in the range of .005 to .020 parts per million (PPM), well below indoor safety levels set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For outdoor air, levels above .120 are considered excessively stressing to people with a respiratory illness or who are sensitive to ozone. In general, levels below .080 are considered acceptable for outdoors, but these levels are often exceeded in some urban areas. The FDA sets a level of .050 with a 24 hour a day exposure as the maximum indoor ozone concentration acceptable An electronic air cleaner can be expected to add about .005 PPM ozone to the steady state indoor level. As the electronic air cleaner loads with dirt, the level of ozone produced further decreases Odor perception for ozone varies quite a bit among people. Some people can smell levels as low as .003 PPM, but most people can smell a level of .020 PPM, which is well below the FDA standard. The smell of ozone is does not necessarily indicate that the level of ozone is above normal, or even near the recommended limit set by the FDA.

Answer:The cells of an electronic air cleaner can be cleaned using either a dishwasher or a tub of hot soapy water. You can do a quick clean to extend time between full cleanings. Quick Clean: Vacuum the dirty side of the prefilter with the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Wipe the ionizing wires using your finger and thumb with a damp cloth. Full Clean: Washing your cells in a tub of hot soapy water. Wear rubber gloves to avoid prolonged detergent contact with your skin. Keep detergent and solution out of reach of children. Avoid strong, fast movements when soaking the cells, over agitation will bend the collector plates. Slow and gentle movements when agitating the cells while soaking works best. Always wash the cell(s) first, then the prefilter(s), to keep heavy prefilter lint from getting caught in the cell(s). Use a large enough container, such as a laundry tub or trash container, to hold one or both cell(s). NOTE: Sharp corners on the cell(s) can scratch the surface of a bathtub. Dissolve about three-fourth 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. After the detergent has completely dissolved, place the cell(s) in the container and allow to soak for 15 to 20 minutes or until water cools. Agitate them up and down a few times and remove. Repeat if necessary for very dirty cells. Vacuum the dirty side of the prefilter with the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. For prefilters that are greasy (common from smoking or cooking) wash the prefilter(s) the same way the cells were washed. Empty and rinse the wash container. Rinse the cell(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. Soak cell(s) in a final clear water rinse for ten minutes. Wipe the ionizer wires and contact board on the end of the cell using your thumb and forefinger with a small, damp cloth. Before using the Dishwasher Honeywell recommends first consulting with the manufacturer of your Dishwasher before you attempt to wash the electronic cells within your Dishwasher. 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 can drain. IMPORTANT! Check your 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 covered under 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 Cells to run through the dishwasher’s dry cycle.
This bakes on any contaminants not removed during the wash cycle and reduces air cleaner efficiency. Always use Dish Detergent which is safe for aluminum pots and pans.
Other types of Dish Detergent will attack the aluminum Cells and reduce the air cleaners efficiency. 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. Using your 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) plates. Tip the cell(s) so these tubes can drain. Wipe the ionizer wires and contact board on the end of the cell using your thumb and forefinger with a small, damp cloth. Inspect the dishwasher. You may want to rerun the wash and/or rinse cycle with the dishwasher empty if you see 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.

Answer:Your Electronic Air Cleaner can be converted to a Media Air Cleaner. To do this the Electronic Air Cleaner’s power supply must be removed or permanently disabled by a licensed HVAC service person. This is to prevent any possible fire hazard. Simply unplugging the Electronic Air Cleaner is not good enough because someone could come in behind you and plug it back in. After the power supply has been disabled, the metal cells in your air cleaner can be replaced with 4 inch thick media filters of the appropriate dimensions. Honeywell recommends either the FC100 or the FC200 Media Air Filter can be used by sliding the Media Filter Cartridge in to the same place the Cells were. The efficiency of your air cleaner will be reduced after being converted to the level of the Media Filters being used. The Media Filters will need to be replaced on a regular basis. Honeywell’s recommendation is to replace Media Filters every 6 months, more frequently if needed. Replacement Media Filters can be purchased from the HVAC service person or Heating and Cooling Contractor that converts your Electronic Air Cleaner to a Media Air Cleaner.

Answer:Honeywell’s Electronic Air Cleaners should only be serviced or replaced by a qualified Heating and Cooling Contractor. Honeywell’s Electronic Air Cleaners contain high voltage, which can be dangerous. There is risk of an electric shock, which can cause injury and or death, as well as damage to the equipment. Improper service, installation of incorrect replacement parts, and/or incorrect installation of the correct replacement parts may compromise the operation of the Electronic Air Cleaner, and also the ability of the heating and cooling system to work properly. Servicing of the Electronic Air Cleaner by any person other than a qualified Heating and Cooling Contractor can void the warranty on the product. Due to liability reasons Honeywell Customer Care can not provide technical support for this device to a customer who is not a qualified Heating and Cooling Contractor.

Answer:The air cleaner can not "dust" a home, but it will remove most dust particles that make it to the air cleaner. The particles that do not make it to the cold air return will settle out on flat surfaces and will need to be removed by hand. The reason these particles settle on a surface is due to their weight. These large particles will begin to appear white because they are no longer being stained by the smaller particles. The smaller staining particles (5 microns or smaller) stay continuously suspended and thus make it to the cold air return.

Answer:No, the post filters for the F300 cannot be cleaned. They have to be replaced.

Answer:The neon light should be on whenever the system’s blower fan is on. When the system fan shuts off, the neon light should also shut off. If this is not happening, please follow these troubleshooting steps: Make sure the electronic cells are clean, dry and properly installed. Make sure that the prefilter is in the cabinet slot farthest from the furnace. With the access door closed, turn on the Electronic Air Cleaner and the system blower fan. If neon light is on, the Electronic Air Cleaner is working. If the neon light is off, turn the Electronic Air Cleaner off and remove cells only (not the prefilter), then close the access door and turn on the Electronic Air Cleaner (fan should still be on). If the neon light does not come on, contact your contractor for repair. If the neon light comes on, inspect the cells for bent collector plates, broken ionizer wires, dirt on insulators, and damaged ionizer or collector contact tabs. Bent collector plates can be carefully straightened and broken ionizer wires should be replaced. All other repairs should be undertaken by your local heating and cooling contractor.

Answer:The presence of “white dust” is actually an indicator that your Electronic Air Cleaner is working properly. The Electronic Air Cleaner can only filter the particles that are passing through your system’s duct work. The staining particulate is generally lighter, and more able to be drawn through the return registers in your home, leaving the heavier, non-staining particulate behind. This heavier, non-staining particulate settles out of the air and is left behind on your furniture: because it is more visible, it may appear as though there is actually more dust in your home than there was prior to installing the air cleaner. To ensure that more particulate is able to reach the Electronic Air Cleaner to be filtered, you should make sure that the return registers are clean and not blocked by furniture.

Answer:The situation that you describe is probably interference. There are two types of interference that can cause problems with TV or radio stations. They are Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and Line Interference (Line Noise). Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) results from radio waves created by electrical equipment. These waves radiate outward in all directions and can be picked up by household electrical wires that act as antennas. An Electronic Air Cleaner can only create enough RFI to affect a television, intercom, or a small radio when it arcs. The Federal Communications Commission regulates all products that could create RFI. All of Honeywell’s Electronic Air Cleaners conform to FCC Part 15 Class B as well as Canadian EMI Standards. If the problem is constant, and the air cleaner is not constantly arcing, then the problem is Line Interference. Line Interference (Line Noise) can occur anytime an electrical circuit is made or broken. Fluctuations in an electrical load can also cause Line Interference.

Answer:It is normal to hear occasional snapping from your Electronic Air Cleaner. This occurs when larger particles are caught by the ionizer wires. Continuous snapping is not normal however, and should be investigated as outlined below: Please note that the metal electronic cells may have some sharp edges; use care when handling the cells. Wear gloves to protect your hands from being cut if needed. Remove both electronic cells. Make sure that there is no hair, dirt, sand or any debris on the bottom inside the Electronic air cleaner. If there is, remove what you can by hand. If a lot of debris is left in bottom of the Air Cleaner, you may want to use a vacuum attachment to see if you can vacuum up what you can. Do not vacuum the Pre-filter or Post filter this may damage it. Close the access door, and then turn on the Electronic Air Cleaner and the system fan. If the snapping continues with the cells removed, contact your heating and cooling contractor for service on the unit and turn off the Electronic Air Cleaner’s power. If snapping does not continue, make sure the electronic cells are clean, dry and properly installed. Inspect the electronic cells for bent collector plates, broken wires between the plates, dirt on the insulators, and damaged collector contact tabs located on the top of the cells. Make sure the pre-filters are in good condition and are in the cabinet slot farthest from the furnace (The order of the Electronic Air Cleaner Filters are from the return duct to the furnace is: Pre-Filter, electronic cell, and then Post filter, if your Electronic Air Cleaner has one). If the snapping persists and you are unable to locate any physical cause, please contact your heating and cooling contractor for service on the unit and turn off power to the Electronic Air Cleaner.

Answer:Honeywell’s Clean Coil Guarantee states that Honeywell will guarantee that your evaporative cooling coil will remain free of dust and debris for 10 years following the date of installation of your Electronic Air Cleaner provided that: The Electronic Air Cleaner has been installed and maintained properly, according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. The electronic air cleaner was installed on a new HVAC system. If the Electronic Air Cleaner was not installed on a newly installed evaporative coil, the evaporative coil was cleaned at the time of or prior to installation of the Electronic Air Cleaner. (Honeywell will ask for proof of cleaning in form of a copy of service or sales receipt.) If your coil requires cleaning within 10 years of the installation of Honeywell’s Electronic Air Cleaner, Honeywell will pay 50% of the cost to have the coil professionally cleaned by a qualified heating/cooling contractor, up to $100.00 U.S. Dollars. If it is necessary to file a claim for coverage under the Clean Coil Guarantee, you will need to provide full documentation of the date of installation of the Electronic Air Cleaner, as well as documentation of the date of installation of the system or the cleaning of the evaporative coil.

Answer:Ozone (O3), a 3-atom form of oxygen, is a normal trace element in the earth’s atmosphere. Ozone is a different chemical than common oxygen (O2) which supports life on our planet. Like many substances, ozone is beneficial to life and to man, but can also be harmful in excessive concentrations. Ozone is created naturally by the action of the sun on oxygen; it also is created by man as a byproduct of processes such as combustion, power generation and operation of common appliances such as some sun lamps, copy machines or electric hair dryers.
