PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
THIS AIR CLEANER.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce
the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons including the following:
1. Read all instructions before operating the air cleaner.
2. Place air cleaner where it is not easily knocked over by persons in the
household.
3. Always turn the air cleaner to the
OFF (O) position and unplug when not in use.
4. To disconnect the air cleaner, first turn the air cleaner to
OFF (O) position, grip the
plug and pull it from the outlet. Never pull by the cord.
5. Do not use any product with a damaged cord or plug or if product malfunctions, is
dropped or damaged in any manner. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
6. Do not use air cleaner outdoors.
7. Never use air cleaner unless it is fully assembled.
8. Do not run power cord under carpets, and do not cover with throw rugs. Arrange
cord such that it will not be tripped over.
9. Do not use air cleaner where combustible gases or vapors are present.
10. Do not expose the air cleaner to rain, or use near water, in a bathroom, laundry
area or other damp location.
11. The air cleaner must be used in its upright position.
12. Do not allow foreign objects to enter ventilation or exhaust opening as this
may cause electric shock or damage to the air cleaner. Do not block air outlets
or intakes.
13. Locate air cleaner near power outlet and avoid using an extension cord.
14. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician.
DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.
15. A loose fit between the plug and the AC outlet (receptacle) may cause
overheating and a distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace
loose or worn outlet.
16. Do not sit, stand or place heavy objects on the air cleaner.
17. Disconnect power supply before servicing.
WARNING: To reduce risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this product with
any solid-state speed control device.
Important Safety Instructions
Congratulations
You now own a quality portable air cleaner that has been engineered and crafted for
your satisfaction.
Our Consumer Relations representatives will be pleased to help with any questions or
concerns you may have about your air cleaner. Please call our Consumer Relations
Dept. at (800) 332-1110 for assistance or email us at service@honeywell.com.
For Best Performance
We recommend that you operate your air cleaner 24 hours a day because indoor air can be
quickly contaminated by activity in a room, infiltration of outside air and from sources of
contamination. While all the air in a room will not be processed by the air cleaner, the more
air circulated through the filter, the more filtered air returned to the room. Portable air
cleaners will be much more effective in rooms where all doors and windows are closed.
Place the air cleaner on a flat, level unobstructed surface. For best performance, the air
outlet slot should not be blocked for at least 3 feet (1 meter) in all directions.
NOTE: Due to the large volume of air drawn towards the air cleaner, surrounding areas
should be cleaned and/or vacuumed frequently to prevent buildup. If the unit is placed on a
light colored carpeting, a small mat or rug should be used to ease cleaning and prevent any
permanent staining. This is particularly important in homes with heavy contamination from
smoking or fireplaces.

Operation
The Honeywell 1606X Series air cleaner is a three speed air cleaner operated by
moving the speed control knob on the top panel from the OFF (
O) position to the
HIGH (III) position. Allow the unit to operate for a few minutes at HIGH speed, then
leave the control knob in the HIGH position for faster, more powerful room cleaning,
or move the knob to the lower (I) setting for quieter operation.
Filter Replacement
Replace filter cartridge once every 6-9 months or sooner depending on usage.
Use Filter-Change Calendar to keep track of your filter replacement schedule.
NOTE: Filter is not washable and washing will damage the filter.
Our recommendations regarding filter replacement intervals are intended as
guidelines only. Life expectancy of any filter media is dependent on the concentration
of the contaminants to which the system is exposed. If there are sources of large
amounts of contaminant generation (such as dust from woodworking or heavy
smoking) the useful life of the filter media in your air cleaner may be reduced.
CAUTION:TURN OFF THE AIR CLEANER AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER
SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING
The only part requiring any service is the filter cartridge. No tools are needed to
change the filter. Change filter as shown here.
Step 1: Turn the Air Cleaner
OFF (O) and unplug from the wall outlet
Step 2: Open filter replacement door on bottom of air cleaner by pushing in tabs and
swinging door open (Fig. 1).
Step 3: Remove old filter by pulling the filter at the finger recesses inside filter door
(Fig. 2). Slide out filter and remove.
Step 4: Discard old filter and remove packaging from new filter.
Step 5: Slide new filter into air cleaner in direction of the arrows. Make sure that
black side faces the front of the air cleaner.
Step 6: Close and secure filter replacement door (Fig. 2).
Step 7: Return air cleaner to operable position and plug in.
