We recommend that you operate your Honeywell air purifier 24 hours a day because
indoor air can be quickly contaminated by activity in a r oom, infiltration of outside air,
and from other sources of contamination. While all the air in a r oom will not be
processed by the air purifier, the more air circulated through the filter, the more filtered
air is returned to the room. Portable air purifiers will be much mor e effective in rooms
where all doors and windows are closed.
Your Honeywell air
purifier has five basic
components: the
powerhead assembly
(with controls and
motor), the premium
odor reducing pre-filter,
the HEPA filter, the
base assembly, and the
locking mechanism.

True 99.97% HEPA Air Purifier with Germ Reduction
This air purifier model continually helps clean the air and helps r educe airborne germs
and airborne allergens by drawing air through the HEPA filter which traps and collects
these particulates.
For Best Performance
Germ Reduction
Construction
• Select a firm, level and flat location. For best air flow , locate the unit at least 3 feet
(1 meter) from any wall or furniture.
• Due to the large volume of air drawn towards the air purifier, surrounding areas should
be cleaned and/or vacuumed frequently to prevent dust buildup. If the unit is placed
on light colored carpeting, a small mat or rug should be used to ease cleaning and
prevent any permanent staining of carpeting. This is particularly important in homes
with heavier contamination from smoking or fireplaces.
•
Locate pre-filter A Plus in the box and install before initial operation.
Refer to “Removing/Changing the Filters” section for pr oper installation.

50255-HD OM.qxd 3/4/10 1:42 PM Page 3
• BEFORE OPERATION MAKE SURE PRE-FILTER A PLUS IS INSTALLED.
Refer to “Removing/Changing the Filters” section for pr oper installation.
• Ensure the air purifier is plugged into a working electrical
outlet and the Power Knob is turned to the OFF (O) position.
• Allow the unit to operate for a few seconds at turbo speed
, then leave the control knob in the turbo position for
faster, more powerful room cleaning, or move the knob to
the day or sleep setting for quieter operation.
It is recommended you run
your air purifier 24 hours a
day to ensure continuous
cleaning.

The Intelli-Check™Filter Indicators serve as a convenient guideline for when to
check/change the HEPA filter and when to replace the odor absorbing pre-filter. Depending
upon your individual usage (environment and hours used), you may need to clean/r eplace
the filters more or less frequently.
When the
HEPA Filter Indicator Light turns on, it’s time to check your HEPA filter. The
Intelli-Check
™
reminder for when to check the HEPA filter is intended as a guideline only as
the performance of the filter media is dependent on the concentration of the contaminants
to which the system is exposed. On average, for best performance your HEP A filter will
need to be replaced every 3 to 5 years. If ther e are sources of large amounts of
contaminant generation (such as dust from woodworking or heavy smoking) the HEPA filter
in your air purifier may need to be r eplaced more often. For instructions on how to r eplace
your HEPA filter, refer to section “Replacing the HEPA Filter” in this manual.
When your
Pre-filter Indicator Light turns on, it’s time to replace your odor absorbing pre-
filter. It should be replaced at least every 3 months. If ther e are heavy concentrations of
odors, smoke, or large particles in the home, you may need to change the odor absorbing
pre-filter more often. For instructions on how to r eplace your pre-filter, refer to section
“Removing/Changing the Filters” in this manual.
Note: We do not recommend operating the air purifier without the odor absorbing pr e-filter.
Your air purifier was shipped with a pr emium carbon zeolite odor reducing pre-filter A Plus.
It can be replaced with either pre-filter A or A Plus. The A Plus pr e-filter features enhanced
odor and household gas absorption performance. Replacement pr e-filters can be
purchased at the Home Depot store where you purchased your air purifier, or can be
ordered directly from Home Depot at www.homedepot.com. If you need assistance or have
any questions, contact Kaz Consumer Services at 1-800-477-0457.

Do not attempt to wash either the carbon pre-filter or the HEP A filter. They are not
washable and washing will damage the filters.
The only two parts requiring any service are the carbon pre-filter and the HEPA filter.
No tools are needed. To remove or change either filter, disassemble the unit as shown
below:
Step 1: Turn the air purifier off and unplug from the wall outlet.
Step 2: To open, gently place the air purifier on its side and unscr ew the locking
mechanism located on the bottom of the unit (Fig. 2).
Step 3: Remove the base assembly from the air purifier.
Step 4: Remove the filter assembly (consisting of the HEP A filter and pre-filter) from the
internal chamber.
Step 5: Locate the seam of the pre-filter and carefully separate the fastener to remove
the pre-filter from the HEPA filter (Fig. 3).
Step 6: Discard used pre-filter if necessary. Check the HEPA filter to ensure it is not too

We recommend that you clean the air purifier at least once a month and befor e
extended storage. Use only a dry cloth to wipe the exter nal surfaces of the air purifier.

If you store your Air Purifier for more than 30 days, we r ecommend:
• Removing both the primary HEPA filter and the carbon pre-filter from the unit.
• Discarding the pre-filter.
• Wrapping the HEPA filter in an air-tight plastic bag or plastic wrap. Be sur e that the
filter is totally sealed.
• To restore the air purifier to service, unwrap the HEPA filter, install a new carbon pre-
filter, and reinstall both filters in the air purifier. See “Removing/Changing the Filters”
section for proper installation.
Cleaning and Storage
My Air Purifier is starting to make noise and the air output is less. What’ s wrong?
The filters may be dirty. High amounts of contaminates can block the por es in the
filter and stop the air from moving through it. Replace the HEPA Filter.
How long should I run my Air Purifier?
For best results, you should operate your Air Purifier 24 hours a day . This unit will be
more effective when doors and windows ar e closed.
Can I wash the filters?
No. Washing the filters will destroy them.
Frequently Asked Questions

OVER TIGHTEN.
Step 9: Turn the air purifier into an upright position, plug into a wall outlet and it is r eady
