Construction...

Your Honeywell air cleaner has five basic components: the base assembly (with controls and motor), the lid assembly, the protective screen, the activated carbon prefilter, and the HEPA filter.

ForBestPerformance...

We recommend that you operate your Honeywell air cleaner 24 hours a day because indoor air can be quickly contaminated by activity in a room, infiltration of outside air, and generation by sources of contamination.

The Honeywell HEPA air cleaner is ready to begin cleaning air as soon as it is removed from the carton and plugged in. Because it circulates air in a 360 degree pattern around the air cleaner, it can be placed on the floor in almost any

location. However, for best performance the air outlet slot should not be blocked for at least three feet in all directions.

ReplacementFilters...

Select the proper replacement filter for your Honeywell HEPA air cleaner from the

Replacement filters may be purchased from the retail store or ordered from the dealer where you purchased the product. If you cannot locate one in your area, please call our Consumer Relations Dept. at (800) 332-1110 and we will direct you to a stocking dealer.

FilterReplacement...

With proper maintenance, your Honeywell air cleaner is designed to provide years of high efficiency air cleaning. Your Honeywell air cleaner contains two filters: one activated carbon prefilter and one primary HEPA filter.

The activated carbon prefilter helps capture large airborne particles, and helps remove odors. The prefilter should be replaced every 3 months. You may need to replace the prefilter more often if the unit is used in a smoking environment or if unpleasant

odors persist.

The primary HEPA filter should remain effective for 1 to 3 years, depending upon the environment in which the air cleaner is operating. Honeywell recommends changing the HEPA filter based upon operation conditions???every 3 years for light usage,. 2 years for normal usage and 1 year for heavy usage.

Our recommendations regarding filter replacement intervals are intended as guidelines only and are based upon reasonable filter life expectancy in homes with normal levels of particle generation. If there are sources of large amounts of particle generation (such as woodworking or heavy smoking) the useful life of the activated carbon prefilter and HEPA filter in your air cleaner may be reduced .

Whenever the combined air resistance of the activated carbon filter and primary HEPA filter becomes excessive due to the amount of contaminants they have captured, the air cleaner will begin to audibly pulsate. Instead of a steady stream of air, rapid "puffs" of air may be felt at the outlet slot. When this occurs, one of two conditions exists:

1.The activated carbon prefilter is clogged and must be replaced.

2.If the unit continues to pulsate after a new prefilter is installed,

the useful life of the HEPA filter has been reached and it must be replaced.

Important...

Replace the activated carbon prefilter at least every 3 months. The activated carbon prefilter is the element of your air cleaner that helps remove odors and gaseous compounds. Under normal household conditions the odor adsorption capability will be used up in about 3 months.

If there are heavy concentrations of odors, smoke, or gases (such as tobacco smoke) in the home, you may need to change the activated carbon prefilter more often.

We DO NOT recommend operating the air cleaner without the activated carbon prefilter because the primary HEPA filter does NOT absorb odors or gaseous compounds. In fact, the HEPA filter may become contaminated by these odors and begin to omit the odor captured.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to wash either the activated carbon prefilter or the HEPA filter. They are not washable and washing will damage the filters.

HowtoChangetheFilters...

CAUTION: DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING

The only two parts requiring any service are the activated carbon prefilter and the HEPA filter. No tools are needed. To change either filter, disassemble the unit as shown.

1. Loosen the carrying handle by turning it counterclockwise and lift lid and protective screen from unit.

2.Lift HEPA filter and activated carbon Prefilter from the base.

3.Remove the two plastic clips from the top and bottom of the acti-

vated carbon prefilter and remove it from the HEPA filter cartridge.

4.Wrap the new activated carbon prefilter around the HEPA filter

cartridge and secure with plastic clips.

Reassemble your Honeywell air cleaner as described below:

1. Place the assembled HEPA filter and the activated carbon prefilter on the base.

2.Replace the lid and protective screen.

3.Reattach the carrying handle and turn it clockwise until securely tightened.

???Check to make sure that the power cord is correctly connected to the outlet.

???Test the outlet with another appliance or lamp.

???Check the fuse or circuit breaker. The outlet may be overloaded if other appli- ances are also in use. Determine and correct the cause of the overload.

???The thermal overload protection device on the air cleaner's motor may have engaged. Turn the air cleaner's motor control to OFF and wait 30 to 45 minutes. Then, plug it in and turn ON again.

???If none of the above procedures restore operation, return your unit to the store or if the store's return policy does not allow, return the complete unit per the instructions in the service section of this owner's guide. Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.

Storage...

If you store your Honeywell HEPA air cleaner for more than 30 days, we recommend:

???Remove both the primary HEPA filter and the activated carbon prefilter from the unit.

???Discard the prefilter.

???Wrap the HEPA filter in an air-tight plastic bag or plastic wrap. Be sure that the filter is totally sealed.

???To restore the air cleaner to service, unwrap the HEPA filter, install a new activated carbon prefilter, and replace both filters in the air cleaner.

(See "How to change the Filters..." section for proper installation.)
