HOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER WORKS

This model air purifier incorporates a 2-stage cleaning system to help clean the air that passes through the filter in the unit (Fig. 1).

Stage 1: Odor Absorbing Pre-Filter Stage 2: 99.97% True HEPA Filter that captures

particles as small as 0.3 microns or larger

SET-UP

• Select a firm, level and flat location. For best airflow, locate the unit at least 3 feet (1 M) from any wall

or furniture.

• When operating, large volumes of air are drawn toward the air purifier. Surrounding areas should be

cleaned and/or vacuumed frequently to prevent build-up of dust and other contaminates. This may also help prolong the life of the filter. If the unit is placed on a light colored carpet, a small mat or rug should be used underneath to prevent permanent staining. This is especially important in homes with contamination from smoking, fireplaces, or where candles are burned.

• Ensure the front of the unit faces away from the closest wall or furniture.

• Ensure no grilles are blocked.

INSTALL TRUE HEPA FILTERS

The True-HEPA Filters are supplied within the air purifier. They are wrapped to ensure purity, and are labeled to help identify the proper replacement filter.

(Type

• Turn-off and unplug the air purifier. While pressing on the tab at the top of the

rear grille, pull the grille towards you and remove it (See Fig. 2). Grasp the sides of each filter frame near its top end and pull outward. Repeat for the second filter.

• Remove protective wrap from the filters.

• Place back into the air purifier housing by inserting the bottom edge of the filter

frame behind the two corner tabs and press the top down and inward until the filter snaps in place.

• Snap the filter grille back into place.

OPERATION

Models HPA-050 and HPA-150 Operation:

Ensure the air purifier’s control knob is turned to the OFF position (

and plug the power cord into a working electrical outlet. (Fig. 3).

It is recommended you run your air purifier 24 hours a day to ensure continuous cleaning.

Portable air purifiers are more effective in rooms where all doors and windows are closed.

ELECTRONIC FILTER CLEAN REMINDER

These air purifier models each have two electronic filter checks to remind you when to check and replace the True-HEPA filters and the Odor Absorbing pre-filters based

time to clean HEPA filters

on the air cleaner’s hours of use. When the True-HEPA filter(s) need to be replaced, the light below “HEPA filter” will

remain on until it is RESET. You may unplug the air cleaner without interrupting the filter check.

The light below “pre-filter” will illuminate when it is time to replace the pre-filter. You should periodically check these filters. Depending on operating conditions, the

True-HEPA filters should be replaced every 12 months, and the odor absorbing pre-filters every 3 months, especially if there have been heavy odors in the home.

To RESET Either Electronic Filter Check:

When a filter monitor light remains on, it is time to replace the True HEPA or Pre-filter and reset the filter monitor light. With the unit powered on, press the lighted button with the end of a ball point pen with the pen tip retracted and hold for approximately 2 seconds until the light turns off (Fig 4). Depending upon your individual usage (environment and hours used), you may need to check and replace the filters more or less frequently. If the True-HEPA filters are replaced before the filter monitor light turns on, the filter monitor should be reset at the same time.

These cleaning intervals are intended as guidelines only. Performance of any filter media is dependent upon the concentration of contaminates going through the system. High concentrations of contaminates such as dust, pet dander and smoking will reduce the useful performance of the filter.

NOTE: None of the filters are washable. Do not immerse them in water.

MAINTAINING YOUR STAGE 1 WASHABLE PARTICLE PRE-FILTERREPLACING THE TRUE-HEPA FILTERS

You can purchase Honeywell replacement True-HEPA filter

for your air purifier at the store where you

purchased your air purifier or they can be ordered directly from Kaz, the maker of Honeywell air purifiers at www.replacementfilters.com.

MAINTAINING YOUR STAGE 1 ODOR-ABSORBING PARTICLE PRE-FILTER

The stage 1 odor absorbing particle pre-filter not only helps reduce odors, but also helps capture large airborne particles that enter the rear grille. This pre-filter should be replaced every 3 months, as it will become covered with particles and fibers that will reduce filtration performance.

replacement filter, also available where the True-HEPA filters are sold and

from Kaz at www.replacementfilters.com or by calling Kaz Consumer Relations at 1-800-477-0457.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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 pores in the filter and stop the air

from moving through it. Replace the Filters.

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 are closed.

Can I wash any of the filters in my air cleaner?

No. Washing either filter will ruin it.
