Congratulations

You now own a quality portable HEPA 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 [phone] for assistance, or e-mail us at
[e-mail].

For Best Performance

Indoor air can be quickly contaminated by activity in a room, infiltration of outside
air, and from sources of contamination. Therefore, it is generally recommended that
you operate your air cleaner 24 hours a day. However, this unit is equipped with
convenient, energy-saving programmable controls which will allow you to preset the
air cleaner to shut off when you are away and turn on when you generally use the
room, thus minimizing energy costs. For best performance, set the air cleaner to turn
on about an hour or so before you will use a room.

This air cleaner discharges filtered air upwards into the room, allowing the unit to
be placed on the floor in almost any location. 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.

NOTE: Due to the large volume of air drawn towards the air cleaner, surrounding
areas should be cleaned and/or vacuumed more frequently to prevent dust build-up.
If the unit is placed on light colored carpeting, a small mat or rug should be used to
ease cleaning and prevent permanent staining of carpeting. This is particularly
important in homes with heavy contamination from smoking or fireplaces.

Filter Replacement Intervals

CAUTION: Do not attempt to wash either the activated carbon pre-filter or the

HEPA filter. They are not washable and washing will damage the filters.

With proper maintenance, your air cleaner is designed to provide years of high efficiency
air cleaning. Our recommendations regarding filter replacement intervals are intended as
guidelines only, as 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 and require early replacement.

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.

The activated carbon pre-filter helps protect the HEPA filter by capturing lint and other
large particles, and helps reduce normal household odors. It should be checked monthly
and replaced at least every 3 months. If there are heavy concentrations of odors, smoke,
or large particles in the home, you may need to change the pre-filter more often. We

NOT

recommend operating the air cleaner without the activated carbon pre-filter or

without following the filter replacement guidelines.

Whenever the air resistance of the HEPA filter becomes excessive due to the amount of
contaminants it has captured, the air volume output will begin to reduce and the sound
level of the air cleaner will increase.

This air cleaner is equipped with Intelli-Check FilterTMMonitors to serve as a convenient
guideline for replacement of the pre-filter and HEPA filter based on the air cleaner’s
hours of use and operating speed. This is beneficial because a filter’s life depends on
the amount of air and contaminants drawn through it. Each filter bar will fill up from clean
to dirty as its expected filter life is used up. Once the bar is completely full, it is time to
check / replace the filter.

• To move between the PRE-FILTER bar and the

HEPA FILTER bar, quickly press the FILTER button
(Fig. 6a).

• To RESET a filter bar that appears on the display,

press and hold the FILTER button for 5 seconds, or
until the filter bar clears to CLEAN status (Fig. 6b).

Fig. 6a

PRE Filter Life HEPA

The Intelli-Check

™

Filter Monitors calculate the
expected filter life based on an assumed average
operating time of 12 hours a day on medium speed.
Therefore, it will indicate replacement of the Pre-filter
in about 3 months, and the HEPA filter in about 1
year and 9 months. Depending upon your individual
usage (environment, hours and speed of operation),
you may need to check and replace the filters more
or less frequently.
