For Best Performance

We recommend that you operate your Honeywell air purifier 24 hours a day because
indoor air can be quickly contaminated by activity in a room, infiltration of outside air,
and from other sources of contamination. While all the air in a room will not be
processed by the air purifier, the more air circulated through the filter, the more filtered
air is returned to the room. Portable air purifiers will be much more effective in rooms
where all doors and windows are closed.
Germ Reduction
True 99.97% HEPA Air Purifier with Germ Reduction
This air purifier model continually helps clean the air and helps reduce airborne bacteria,
germs and mold spores by drawing air through the HEPA filter which traps and collects
these particulates. In a test lab, the air purifiers were tested for reducing airborne
pathogens that passed through the filter, and results indicated a bacterial reduction up
to 100% with a mean reduction of 99.3%.
Construction
Your Honeywell air
purifier has five basic
components: the
powerhead assembly
(with controls and
motor), the carbon
pre-filter, the HEPA
filter, the base
assembly, and the
locking mechanism.
Set-up
• Select a firm, level and flat location. For proper air flow, locate the unit at least 3 feet
(1 meter) from any wall or furniture.
• Due to the large volume of air drawn towards the air purifier, surrounding areas should
be cleaned and/or vacuumed frequently to prevent dust buildup. If the unit is placed
on light colored carpeting, a small mat or rug should be used to ease cleaning and
prevent any permanent staining of carpeting. This is particularly important in homes
with heavier contamination from smoking or fireplaces.
• Locate pre-filter in the box and install before initial operation. Refer to
"Removing/Changing the Filters" section for proper installation.
