IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 position and unplug from the wall outlet when not in use.
4.To disconnect the air cleaner, first turn control to the OFF position, grip the plug and pull it from the wall 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 the outlet and avoid using an extension cord.
14.This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the 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 AC outlet (receptacle) and plug 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 The Risk of Fire or Electric Shock, Do Not Use This Air Cleaner With Any Solid-State Speed Control Device.
Congratulations
You now own a quality portable HEPA air cleaner that has been engineered and crafted for your satisfaction.
For Best Performance
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 from other 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 is returned to the room. Portable air cleaners will be much more effective in rooms where all doors and windows are closed.
It can be placed on the floor in almost any location. However, for best performance the air intake grille 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 dust 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 of carpeting. This is particularly important in homes with heavier contamination from smoking or fireplaces.
Construction
Your Honeywell air cleaner has five basic components: the powerhead assembly (with controls and motor), the carbon pre-filter, the HEPA filter, the base assembly, and the locking mechanism.

Filter Replacement
Caution: Do not attempt to wash either the carbon pre-filter or the HEPA filter. They are not washable and washing will damage the filters.
With proper maintenance, your Honeywell 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 earlier replacement.
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.
The carbon pre-filter is the element of your air cleaner that helps reduce normal household odors, captures lint and other large particles and helps protect the HEPA filter. It should be 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 carbon pre-filter more often.
We DO NOT recommend operating the air cleaner without the carbon pre-filter or without following the filter replacement guidelines.
Filter Change Calendar
The air cleaner model 50100 series is equipped with a Filter Change Calendar wheel which serves as a convenient reminder for you to check and replace the pre-filter and HEPA filter based on the air cleaner’s hours of use.
Upon starting your air cleaner and upon every pre-filter replacement, roll the pre-filter change calendar ahead three months to indicate when the next filter replacement is necessary. Upon starting your air cleaner and upon every HEPA filter replacement, roll the HEPA filter change calendar ahead one to three years (depending upon use) to indicate when filter replacement is necessary.
Intelli-Check™ Filter Monitors
The air cleaner model 50150, 50200, 50250, 50300 series are equipped with Intelli-Check™ Filter Monitors which serve as convenient reminders for you to check and replace the pre-filter and HEPA filter based on the air cleaner’s hours of use. The monitors have the ability to indicate the amount of expected filter life used. Once a filter has reached the end of its expected life, its light will remain on until it is RESET. You may unplug the air cleaner without interrupting the filter monitors.
The Intelli-Check™ Filter Monitors will indicate replacement of the pre-filter and the HEPA filter. Depending upon your individual usage (environment and hours used), you may need to check and replace the filters more or less frequently.
To check Expected Filter Life Usage
When the unit is turned on, quickly press the appropriate filter monitor button. The pre-filter light will flash up to 3 times and the HEPA filter light will flash up to 4 times, depending upon how much expected filter life has been used.
PREFILTER: |
|
1 flash |
= from new, up to 1/3 expected life used up |
2 flashes |
= between 1/3 and 2/3 expected life used up |
3 flashes |
= between 2/3 and all of expected life used up |
Remains on |
= time to check/replace pre-filter |
HEPA FILTER: |
|
1 flash |
= from new, up to 1/4 expected life used up |
2 flashes |
= between 1/4 and 1/2 expected life used up |
3 flashes |
= between 1/2 and 3/4 expected life used up |
4 flashes |
= between 3/4 and all of expected life used up |
Remains on |
= time to check/replace HEPA filter |
To RESET Filter Monitor
When the filter monitor light remains on, it is time to check/replace the filter and reset the filter monitor, if needed. With the unit powered on, press and hold the appropriate filter monitor button down for approximately 5 seconds until the light turns off.
Depending upon your individual usage (environment and hours used), you may need to check and replace the filters more or less frequently.
