Clean Blower Compartment
❑ Remove and discard the existing furnace filter.
❑ Thoroughly clean the blower compartment.
❑ If possible, power vacuum ductwork to remove accumulated
dust in existing home, or construction dirt in a new home.
The electronic air cleaner cannot remove dust that has
settled in the blower compartment and distribution ducts.
❑ Check the edges of the furnace fan blades for dirt buildup
and clean as necessary. The fan will not deliver the rated
cfm if the blades are dirty.
Review the Installation Plan
❑ Temporarily place the cabinet on the floor; position as it will
be when installed.
❑ Remove and set aside the access door, electronic cells
and prefilters, checking that the selected location provides
enough clearance for easy removal and replacement of
these components. Unless the power supply will be
remotely mounted, make sure there is room above the
unit to wire and service the power supply, including the
optional W8600E.
❑ Make sure that shop-fabricated sheetmetal components,
such as turning vanes, are on hand.
Remote Mount Power Supply, if Desired
❑
If remote mount is not desired, go on to Fasten the
Cabinet to the Furnace section.
