17000 Series ... The Honeywell 17000 series air cleaners are 3 speed air cleaners operated by turning the unit on high for a few seconds, and then leaving it on high for faster, more powerful air circulation, or moving it to a lower setting as desired. Filter Check/Reset Monitors The 17000 series air cleaner is equipped with electronic controls and Intelli-Check™ Filter Monitors to serve as a convenient reminder when to replace the pre-filter and HEPA filter. The filter monitors will begin counting the hours of use once the unit is powered on. The Intelli-Check™ Filter Monitors will count the hours of filter use based on the unit's operating speed, and will indicate when the filter's expected life has been reached. This is beneficial because the expected life of a filter depends on the amount of air and contaminants drawn through it. Once each filter has reached its expected life, its light will remain on until it is RESET. You may unplug the air cleaner without interrupting the hours counted. POWER HIGH MEDIUM LOW FILTER CHECK/RESET HEPA PRE-FILTER CHECK Expected Filter Life Usage. To check the amount of expected filter life used, quickly press the filter monitor button when the unit is turned on. It will flash up to 3 or 4 times, depending upon how much expected filter life has been used. The filter monitors are intended as guidelines only, as individual use may vary.

NOTE: If operated on a higher speed for a greater number of hours each day, the filter light monitors will indicate replacement sooner than if operated on a lower speed for fewer hours each day. RESET Filter Monitor After Filter Replacement. When the filter monitor light remains on, it is time to replace the filter. Once the filter has been replaced, you must reset the filter monitor. With the unit powered on, press the filter monitor button down for a 5 second delay. The light will turn off.
