ELECTRONIC FILTER CHANGE REMINDER:
This model air purifier has an electronic filter
check to remind you when to check or replace the
Main filter based on the air purifier’s hours of use.
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 purifier without interrupting the
filter check memory function.
A red LED light will illuminate when it is time to
change the filter. Please replace with Honeywell
®
Main replacement filter number 16216.
You should periodically check the filter.
Depending on operating conditions, the Filter
should be replaced every 6 months.
To RESET the Electronic Filter Check:
When the filter monitor light remains on, it is time
to check/replace the Main filter and reset the filter
monitor, if needed. With the unit powered on,
insert the tip of a ball-point pen or paperclip next
to the LED filter check light and hold for
approximately 5 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 filter more or less
frequently. If the Main filter is replaced before the
filter monitor light turns on, the filter monitor
should be reset at the same time.
MAINTAINING YOUR STAGE 1 WASHABLE
PARTICLE PRE-FILTER:
The stage 1 particle pre-filter helps pick up large
airborne particles that enter the front grille. This
pre-filter can be periodically removed and shaken
to clean it. Alternatively, it can be rinsed by hand
under warm water.
Let the pre-filter air dry completely before
inserting back into the unit. If you need to replace
this item, please see Consumer Relations section
on the next page.
WHEN TO REPLACE THE MAIN FILTER?
These replacement intervals are intended as
guidelines only. Useful life expectancy 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 pollen will reduce the useful life of
the filter.
NOTE: The Main Filter is not washable.
CLEANING AND STORAGE:
We recommend that you clean the air purifier at
least once a month and before extended storage.
Use only a dry cloth to wipe the external surfaces
of the air purifier. DO NOT USE WATER, WAX
POLISH, OR ANY CHEMICAL SOLUTION.
If your Air Purifier will not be used for more than
30 days, we recommend:
Remove the Main Filter from the unit.
Wrap the Main Filter in an air tight plastic bag.
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 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 are closed.
Can I wash my Main filter?
No. Washing the Main filter will destroy it.
