AIRWATCH®INDICATOR
The W8600A AIRWATCH®Indicator can be added
to your air cleaner system to provide convenient
indication of system performance. It must be
ordered separately.
The W8600A is designed to mount next to your
thermostat, or in any convenient location in the
living area of the home.
The four Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) arrow
indicators are labeled Battery, Air Cleaner, UV Air
Treatment and Humidifier. A blinking arrowhead
indicates service is needed.
•Battery – indicates batteries need changing.
•Air Cleaner – indicates electronic filter needs washing.
•UV Air Treatment – indicates UV lamps need replacing in UV Air
treatment system.
•Humidifier – indicates humidifer pad needs replacing.

When the fan and air cleaner come on, the neon
indicator lights.
If your air cleaner is equipped with a wall-
mounted W8600A AIRWATCH Indicator, the
Battery LCD on solidly means the unit is correctly
powered. (Flashing indicates battery requires
replacing.)
Set the On-Off switch in the power box to On.
NOTE: Depress 1 for On, 0 for Off.
The air cleaner now operates whenever your
furnace/air conditioning system fan operates. For
maximum air cleaning benefit and cleaner air
conditioner coils, leave the air cleaner switch on
at all times and the Fan switch on your thermo-
stat on. Of course, continuous fan operation adds
to your electric bill each month.
You may hear a snapping (electrical arcing)
sound occasionally as the air cleaner operates.
This usually is caused by a larger dust particle
causing a high voltage discharge. The snapping
sound means that your air cleaner is working as it
should. To hear the snapping sound, momentarily
press the test button near the bottom of the door.
Use the test button any time you want to prove
air cleaner operation.

If you don’t want the air cleaner to run, set the
On-Off switch to Off to turn off the air cleaner.
Your furnace and air conditioner will operate
normally, but without the added benefit of air
cleaning. Normally, this switch should be on at
all times.

When the fan and air cleaner stops, the neon
light goes out. The air cleaner is off until the
heating or air conditioning and fan start again.

For greatest benefit, the air cleaner should run
all the time. To do this, set the fan switch on
your thermostat to ON, and make sure the air
cleaner is switched ON. The fan and air cleaner
will run even when the furnace or air conditioner
is off.
NOTE: A manual fan switch may be built into
the furnace or furnace fan controller.
The air cleaner uses less power than a 40 watt
light bulb (two-cell model—33 watts; single cell
model—22 watts). The cost of running the
system fan will vary with the size of your fan
motor and the cost of electricity where you live.
Most air cleaner owners feel that the added cost
is more than offset by the added benefits of full
time air cleaning and full time air circulation.
You may feel that the room temperature stays
more even when the fan is always on.
Although the air cleaner is designed to be
efficient over a wide range of cell dirt loading
conditions, regular cleaning is your best
assurance of consistent performance. Also, a
very dirty cell and prefilter reduces air flow and,
in turn, reduces the efficiency of the furnace or
air conditioner. The cell wash reminder sched-
ule or the optional W8600A AIRWATCH®
Indicator should be used to maintain a regular
wash schedule.
An activated carbon (charcoal) filter is some-
times installed downstream of the air cleaner to
help control odors. This filter should be changed
at least annually, or as recommended by the
filter manufacturer. Total Comfort System does
not offer carbon filters for this application.

activated carbon
filters in the
ductwork
regularly

All Total Comfort System whole house humidifi-
ers can be used in a system with the Total
Comfort System electronic air cleaner without
any additional filters or system modification.
If your system includes an atomizing humidifier,
you may want to install a standard furnace filter
between the humidifier and the air cleaner. This
filter would keep the humidifier spray mineral
deposits from collecting on the air cleaner. This
filter should be checked regularly and changed
when it shows signs of mineral or dirt buildup. If
you do not install a filter, you will probably need
to wash the cell(s) and prefilter(s) more often to
remove the mineral buildup.
If an ultrasonic room humidifier is used often,
especially if filled with tap (undistilled) water, the
cell(s) and prefilter(s) require more frequent
washing. A white residue accumulates on the
cell(s) from the minerals in the water. This
residue may also contribute to "white dust." See
About lint or "white dust" section for more
information.
If you have a
humidifier

CAUTION
Sharp edges.
Can cause personal injury.
Carefully handle the cell(s) or wear protective
gloves to avoid cuts from the sharp metal
edges.
To ensure 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 woodshop) and smoking
habits. Use the wash reminder schedule that
came with the air cleaner or the optional
W8600A AIRWATCH®Indicator to help
establish and maintain a regular cleaning
schedule. Mount the wash reminder schedule
in a convenient location.

If your air cleaner has a W8600A AIRWATCH®
Indicator, the unit beeps every fifteen mintes to
indicate an LCD is flashing. This indicates that
service or a replacement part is required. The
Air Cleaner arrow indicator blinks to indicate the
media filter needs replacing or electronic filter
needs washing.
You may consider washing your cell(s) and
prefilter(s) before the Air Cleaner arrow
indicator blinks if some activity in your home
has changed. This can include, but is not limited
to the following:
• Have the windows been open more often?
•Has someone been smoking more often?
• Has someone taken up a dust producing
hobby?
If this activity change is permanent, you may
want your installer to change the Air Cleaner
schedule that was entered into the W8600A
when it was installed.

Cleaning the
prefilter(s)
Washing
the cell(s)
in your
automatic
dishwasher
NOTE: You may let the heating or air condi-
tioning system operate normally while
the cell(s) are being washed. Simply
turn off the air cleaner switch.
Vacuum the prefilter or brush, or soak it in a
tub. Do
not
wash the prefilter in the dishwasher
or carwash.
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.
IMPORTANT
•Check your dishwasher owner’s manual.
Some manufacturers do not recommend
washing electronic cell(s) in their dish-
washers.
•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 war-
ranty.
• 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.
