F300E ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER WITH ENHANCED FILTRATION
68-0240EF—3 10
❑ Alternatively, the electronic air cleaner can be wired with
conduit.
1. Open access door.
2. Remove and retain the two screws from the front of the
power box and the two screws from the sides of the
power box. See Fig. 10.
3. In the power box, remove and retain two wire nuts that
connect the line cord leads to the power box wiring.
4. Remove the power cord green lead from the green
grounding screw on the wiring compartment barrier.
5. Remove the power cord and the strain relief.
6. Install the plug (provided with the literature pack) in the
hole left by the power cord.
7. Attach conduit through a power box side knockout.
8. Wire the air cleaner directly to line voltage using wire
nuts. See Fig. 11. Secure ground connection to the
green ground screw on the wiring compartment barrier.
9. Replace power supply cover and access door.

OPERATION
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 collect on the plates that have the
opposite electrical charge.
The air then passes through media postfilters, removing
additional particles from the air stream. The air leaving the air
cleaner has fewer particles. Each time the air circulates
through the electronic air cleaner, more particles are removed.
CHECKOUT
Inspect the Installation
Make sure:
• Turning vanes and transitions, as needed, are correctly
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.
• Outside air, if used, is mixed with return air or heated, as
necessary, before it can reach the air cleaner.
• Airflow arrows on the electronic cell point downstream.
• Metal mesh prefilter is on the upstream side and media
postfilter is on downstream side of the cell.
• Cell handle faces outward.
• Electronic cell and prefilter are clean and dry.
• W8600F wiring connections are correctly made.
