How to Change the Filters CAUTION: DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING. Do not attempt to wash either the activated carbon pre-filter or the HEPA filter. They are not washable and washing will damage the filters. The only two parts requiring any service are the activated carbon pre-filter and the HEPA filter. No tools are needed. To change either filter, disassemble the unit as shown below: Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Step 1: Turn the air cleaner off and unplug from the wall outlet. Step 2: To open, gently place the air cleaner on its side and unscrew the locking mechanism located under the base assembly. (Fig. 1) Step 3: Remove the base assembly from the air cleaner. Step 4: Remove the filter assembly (consisting of the HEPA filter and pre-filter) from the internal chamber. Step 5: Locate the seam of the pre-filter and carefully separate the fastener to remove the pre-filter from the HEPA filter (Fig. 2). Step 6: Discard used filter(s) being replaced. Remove any packaging and plastic from the replacement filter(s). Step 7: Carefully wrap the pre-filter around the HEPA filter so that the ends meet (Fig. 3). Fasten the ends together with the fastener provided. Step 8: Place the whole filter assembly into the internal chamber. Close the product by replacing the base and tightening the locking mechanism. Step 9: Turn the air cleaner into an upright position, plug into a wall outlet and it is ready for operation. Storage If you store your Honeywell HEPA air cleaner for more than 30 days, we recommend: • Remove both the primary HEPA filter and the activated carbon pre-filter from the unit. • Discard the pre-filter. • Wrap the HEPA filter in an air-tight plastic bag or plastic wrap. Be sure that the filter is totally sealed to protect it from its storage environment. • To restore the air cleaner to service, unwrap the HEPA filter, install a new activated carbon pre-filter, and replace both filters in the air cleaner. See "How to Change the Filters" section for proper installation. 5
