If you cannot locate a dealer in your area, please call our Consumer Relations Dept. at (800) 332-1110 for assistance. Filter Replacement With proper maintenance, your Honeywell air cleaner is designed to provide years of high efficiency air cleaning. Your Honeywell air cleaner contains two filters: one activated carbon pre-filter and one primary HEPA filter. The activated carbon pre-filter is the element of your air cleaner that helps reduce normal household odors, captures lint and other large particles and helps protect the HEPA filter. It should be replaced at least every 3 months. If there are heavy concentrations of odors, smoke, or large particles in the home, you may need to change the activated carbon pre-filter more often. We DO NOT recommend operating the air cleaner without the activated carbon prefilter or without following the filter replacement guidelines. The HEPA filter may become contaminated and begin to emit any odors captured. The primary HEPA filter should remain effective for 1 to 3 years, depending upon the environment in which the air cleaner is operating. Honeywell recommends changing the HEPA filter based upon operating conditions - every 3 years for light usage, 2 years for normal usage and 1 year for heavy usage. The 53000 Model Air Cleaner features a Change HEPA Filter monitor light which will glow when the HEPA filter needs replacement. If your air cleaner contains Filter Change Calendar wheels, please refer to the "Filter Change Calendar" section for date wheel use instructions. Our recommendations regarding filter replacement intervals are intended as guidelines only. Life expectancy of any filter media is dependent on the concentration of the contaminants to which the system is exposed. If there are sources of large amounts of contaminant generation (such as woodworking or heavy smoking) the useful life of the filter media in your air cleaner may be reduced. Whenever the air resistance of the HEPA filter becomes excessive due to the amount of contaminants it has captured, the air volume output will begin to reduce and the sound level of the air cleaner will increase somewhat. A completely blocked filter will cause a loud rumbling sound and almost no airflow. 4
