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
DO
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.
Remote Control
This air cleaner features a remote control handset for additional convenience. The remote
control allows you to turn the air cleaner OFF and to change the running speed (LOW,
MED, HIGH).
NOTE: When a program function is running (pre-set or customized program
cycles), you may override the speed setting; the unit will continue with its programmed
function once it reaches the next programmed time.
