Congratulations You now own a quality portable HEPA air cleaner that has been engineered and crafted for your satisfaction. Our Consumer Relations representatives will be pleased to help with any questions or concerns you may have about your Honeywell air cleaner. Please call our Consumer Relations Dept. at (800) 332-1110 for assistance. For Best Performance We recommend that you operate your Honeywell air cleaner 24 hours a day because indoor air can be quickly contaminated by activity in a room and infiltration of outside air. While all the air in a room will not be processed by the air cleaner, the more air circulated through the filter, the more filtered air returned to the room. Portable air cleaners will be much more effective in rooms where all doors and windows are closed. The Honeywell HEPA air cleaner is ready to operate as soon as it is removed from the carton and plugged in. Because it circulates air in a 360° pattern around the air cleaner it can be placed on the floor in almost any location. However, for best performance the air intake grille should not be blocked for at least 3 feet (1 meter) in all directions. Due to the large volume of air drawn towards the air cleaner, surrounding areas should be cleaned and/or vacuumed frequently to prevent buildup. This may help keep your home cleaner and may extend the life of the air cleaner pre-filter. If the unit is placed on a light colored carpeting, a small mat or rug should be used to ease cleaning and prevent any permanent staining. This is particularly important in homes with heavier contamination from smoking or fireplaces. Construction Your Honeywell air cleaner has five basic components: 1. Powerhead Assembly (with controls and motor) 2. Activated Carbon Pre-filter 3. HEPA Filter 4. Base Assembly 5.
