First turn off the power to the Electronic Air Cleaner and make sure the power is off. Wait 30 seconds, then remove the access door. Pull out the cells and pre-filters. Then replace the access door while cleaning. If the cells and pre-filters are dirty, they are now ready to be cleaned.

Using
the dishwasher:
Honeywell
recommends consulting the manufacturer of your dishwasher before
you attempt to wash the electronic cells.
- The
only recommended washing methods for Electronic Air Cleaner cells
are with soaps that are safe for use on aluminum, such as automatic
dishwasher detergents.
-
Do not use Coil Cleaners or Contact Cleaners.
- When
placing the cells in a dishwasher, set four glasses upside-down
to rest the cells on top of. This will protect the cells from
the dishwasher spikes that may break ionizing wires, and bend
collector plates.
- You can place the pre-filters in the dishwasher as well.
- Never
allow the cells to go through the drying cycle. This will "bake
on" any materials that were not removed during the wash cycle.
- Be
careful when removing cells after washing. The cells may be hot,
and sharp edges may cause cuts.
- After
washing the cells, take a clean cloth and gently wipe down the
ionizing wires.
- Establish
a regular schedule for washing your cells
Using
a tub:
You
may also use a tub with hot water to wash your electronic cells.
- Dissolve
approximately 3/4 of a cup of automatic dishwasher detergent per
cell in a large plastic tub.
- Let
soak for 15-20 minutes.
- Agitate
up and down few times then remove.

Note: Be sure to use a dishwasher detergent with sodium silicates which will protect the aluminum cells
Using
a garden hose:
You can always set the cells and filters outside and wash them off with a garden hose. Use good pressure but be careful not to bend the collector plates. If they are very dirty, you can spray them with any household detergent and let soak for a minute. Then spray off.
After Cleaning:
Let the cells and filters air-dry. Try not to re-install until they are completely dry. Make sure the collector plates didn't bend during the cleaning process. Then re-insert pre-filters and cells into the unit, close cover and turn on power supply.
