WARNING!
Before beginning any installation or modification,
be certain that the main line electrical disconnect
switch is in the
OFF
position. Unexpected start-up
of system blower may cause serious injury. Tag
disconnect switch with suitable warning labels.
i
CAUTION!
Read and follow instructions carefully. Follow all local
electrical codes during installation. All wiring must
conform to local and national electrical codes.
Improper wiring or installation may damage air cleaner.
Only a heating/air conditioning installer or qualified
service person should install your air cleaner, unless
you are completely familiar with the necessary tools,
equipment and potential hazards involved. If you plan
to install this air cleaner yourself, please be aware that
the improper use of any tool can be dangerous.
The manufacturer will not assume any responsibility
for failures due to incorrect installation procedures.
• Homeowners can perform the basic maintenance
functions of cleaning cells and replacing filters.
• When working on the air cleaner, observe precautions
in the Owner’s Manual, labels attached to the furnace
or air handler, and other safety precautions that may
apply. Follow all safety codes. Wear safety glasses and
work gloves.

What the Air Cleaner Does
The Clean Comfort AE14 Series of Electronic Air Cleaners help
remove a wide range of airborne particles as small as 0.06
micron (1/424,000 of an inch).
Features and Benefits
• Two aluminum mesh prefilters help prevent lint and
large particles from entering the collecting cells.
• Features a permanent, washable filter system
• Heavy-gauge aluminum collecting cells are durable and
easy to maintain.
• Washing the collecting cells takes only 15 minutes.
• Activated carbon VOC filters help remove unpleasant
odors (such as those from cooking, smoking, or other
household activities).
• Helps protect heating/cooling equipment, prolonging the
operating efficiency
• Helps improve indoor air quality for a more comfortable
environment, year-round.
• Electronic air-proving switch automatically cycles

• Power switch (orange) indicates when the air cleaner is powered.
• Performance indicator light (green) indicates when
the air cleaner is operating.
• Heavy-gauge galvanized steel cabinet.
• Can be installed in either vertical or horizontal orientation.
How It Works
This electronic air cleaner operates on the principle of
electrostatic precipitation. Return air ducts of heating and
cooling systems carry airborne particles to the air cleaner
where the air is treated with four stages of filtration.
1. The prefilter removes all large, visible particles such as
lint and pet hair.
2. Smaller particles not caught by the prefilters then enter a
two-stage electrostatic collecting cell where they are given
a powerful positive electrical charge by the ionizing wires.
3. These charged particles then enter the collecting area of
the cell where they are attracted to a series of electrically
grounded plates. Particulates become attached to these
plates by electrostatic forces, much like iron filings are
attracted to a magnet. They remain attached to the
collecting plates until they are washed away when the
unit is cleaned as part of its scheduled maintenance.
4. Finally, air exiting the collecting cell passes over activated
carbon VOC filters which help reduce unpleasant odors,
such as those from cooking, smoking or painting.
