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 Reducing Pre-filter
Stage 2: Certified HEPA Filters capture particles as small as 0.3 microns or larger*
*From the air that passes through the filter

SET-UP

• Select a firm, level, and flat location.
• When operating, large volumes of air are drawn toward the air purifier. Surrounding areas should be cleaned and/or vacuumed frequently to prevent the build-up of dust and other contaminants. 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 HEPA FILTERS AND ODOR-REDUCING PRE-FILTER

The HEPA Filters and Odor Reducing Pre-filter are supplied within the air purifier. New air purifiers have their filters wrapped to ensure purity and are labeled to help identify the proper replacement filter (Type R Certified HEPA Filter and Type-A  Odor Reducing Pre-filter).

• Before using your new air purifier you must remove the wrappers covering the filters and pre-filter. Make sure the air purifier is OFF and unplugged. Press the two hand ymbols on the front grille to release it from the unit and pull the grille toward you to remove it (see Fig. 2). Grasp the sides of the filter frame near its top end and pull outward. Repeat for the second and third filters (if applicable).
• Remove protective wrap from the filters (including the pre-filter) that have been supplied with your air purifier.
• Place the HEPA filters into the air purifier housing. Ensure that the removal “pull” tabs are facing outward (this will facilitate filter removal later). Place the pre-filter in front of the HEPA filters. Secure the edges of the pre-filter to fasteners located around the edges of where the HEPA filters are inserted. These will hold the pre-filter securely in place.
• Replace the front grille by placing the tabs on the bottom of the grille into the slot(s) on the unit. Gently push the top of the grille into place by pressing on the hand symbols to secure it in place.

 

OPERATION

NOTE: This air purifier is an app-enabled device. These instructions cover the operation of the air purifier device only. For additional features available via the Honeywell  Portable Air Purifier App, please reference the instructions that are printed as a stand-alone insert to this booklet.

This product earned the ENERGY STAR® rating by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. EPA. The U.S. EPA does not endorse any manufacturer’s claims of healthier indoor air from the use of this product. The energy efficiency of this ENERGY STAR qualified model is based on a ratio between the model’s Clean Air Delivery  Rate (CADR) for Dust and the electrical energy it consumes, or CADR/Watt.

Portable air purifiers are more effective in rooms where all doors and windows are closed. It is recommended that you run your air purifier while you are at home to help clean the air.

Air Purifier Operation
• Once the filters have been unwrapped and replaced in the unit, plug the power cord into a working electrical outlet. TAP POWER for on/off and then select your cleaning level.
• Select the cleaning level by simply TAPPING the desired purification button. A blue LED will illuminate the selected setting: Germ, General Clean, or Allergen.
ALLERGEN optimizes allergen capturing performance during allergen season.
GENERAL CLEAN for general, everyday air cleaning.
GERM optimizes germ capturing performance. Use during cold & flu season.
TURBO  for power cleaning or fast odor reduction.
• The Turbo setting operates the unit at the highest speed. This setting will maximize the unit’s ability to help reduce odors and will help clean the air quickly. To select the Turbo setting, TAP the Turbo icon. The Turbo LED will illuminate. TAPPING the Turbo icon again will return the air purifier to the previous cleaning setting. To shut OFF, tap the Power symbol until the air purifier shuts off.

Using the Timer Option:
The Timer Option allows you to select how long the air purifier will run before it automatically shuts off. The timer can be set in one-hour intervals from one to eighteen hours. Do not use this option if you want the unit to run continuously.

• To set the unit for Automatic Shut Off, TAP the up or down arrows.
• Continue to TAP the arrow to toggle through to the desired time setting
• The digital timer will indicate the selected run time (Fig. 3).
• The LED Display will automatically count down and display the number of hours left on the timer.
• The unit will automatically shut off after the indicated run time.

Using the Dimmer Option
The Dimmer Option allows you to adjust the brightness of the LEDs on the control panel (Fig. 4). You may wish to adjust the brightness depending on the room where the nit is placed. The unit always turns on with the brightness on HIGH.

To adjust brightness:
• TAP the Dimmer icon once to dim the lights to LOW.
• TAP the Dimmer icon twice and it will shut the lights OFF. (the air purifier will not shut off).
• TAPPING the Dimmer icon a third time will return the brightness to HIGH.
NOTE: The Power  and the Bluetooth ( ) icon will always remain illuminated.

Fig. 4 Dimmer Function

Using the VOC Function:
This HEPA air purifier has a built-in sensor that detects when Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are present in the room air. VOCs are gases that are emitted from certain household cleaning products, home improvement, and even common home decor products. These gases can be harmful or irritating if inhaled. When the VOC auto-sensing mode is selected, the upper left indicator light will illuminate blue and the air purifier will automatically operate at the appropriate cleaning level to reduce these gases. The lower right indicator will illuminate green, amber, or red depending on the level of VOCs detected in the room by the sensor.

Green = Low level of VOCs detected the air purifier will operate in the lowest setting, Germ.
Amber = Moderate level of VOCs detected the air purifier will operate in the medium level setting, General Clean.
Red = High level of VOCs detected, the air purifier will operate in the Allergen setting.
The air purifier will continue to monitor the VOC levels in the room and adjust the cleaning levels as necessary.

ELECTRONIC FILTER CHANGE REMINDER

This air purifier has two electronic filter check lights to remind you when to check and replace the HEPA Filters and Odor Reducing Pre-filter. The “Filters” or “Pre-Filter”  light will illuminate when the HEPA filters and/or the pre-filter needs to be replaced. These indicator lights are based on the number of hours the air purifier has been in use.  depending on the environment and contaminants in the area, the filters may need to be changed before the recommended time (Fig. 6).

Fig. 6 Will illuminate
when it is time to change
HEPA filters and pre-filter

You should periodically check these filters. Depending on operating conditions, the HEPA filters should be replaced every 12 months, and the Odor Reducing Pre-Filter every 3  months, especially if there have been heavy odors and particles in the home.

ELECTRONIC FILTER CHANGE REMINDER (continued)

To RESET Either Electronic Filter Check:
After you have replaced the appropriate filters, plug the unit back in. The “Check Filters” or “Check Pre-Filter” light will remain on until it is reset. With the unit powered OFF,  press the lighted button and hold for approximately 3 seconds until the light turns off. The electronic filter check is now reset. Depending on individual usage (environment and hours used), you may need to replace filters more or less frequently.

NOTE: If you change the Pre-filter or HEPA Filter before the Electronic Filter Check lights are illuminated, you should still reset the indicator. With the unit plugged in and powered off, press and hold the appropriate “Filters” or “Pre-Filter” button for 5 seconds. The light will flash red twice to signal that the indicator has been reset.

These learning intervals are intended as guidelines only. The performance of any filter media is dependent upon the concentration of contaminants going through the system. High concentrations of contaminants 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.

REPLACING THE TRUE HEPA FILTERS

• Remove the Odor Reducing Pre-filter and place it 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 contaminants can block the pores in the filter and stop the air from moving through it. Replace the Filters. The HEPA filters should be replaced every year and the Pre-filter should be replaced every 3 months. Please note these are guidelines only and filters should be checked periodically as individual home conditions may vary. To ensure the unit is performing properly, replace it with Genuine Honeywell filters.

How long should I run my Air Purifier?
In general, the unit will be most effective when doors and windows are closed. It is recommended that you run your air purifier while you are at home to help clean the air. If desired or conditions warrant, you may run your air purifier 24 hours a day.
Can I wash any of the filters in my Air Purifier?
No. Washing either filter will ruin it.

What are VOCs?
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are emitted from various solids and liquids such as paints, cleaning supplies, building materials, and permanent markers. Some of these compounds can have adverse short and long-term health effects and consistently have higher concentrations indoors than outside.
(Source: http://www.epa.gov/iaq/voc.html)
Why did my Air Purifier suddenly turn on a higher setting?
Is the air purifier set to VOC Mode or Auto-Set mode from the App? If it is, the unit may have sensed a
higher level of VOCs or Allergens and have adjusted the cleaning level accordingly.
