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:

Filter Monitor

Reset

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.
