Troubleshooting

Start on HIGH (III) for a few minutes, then adjust to desired speed.
This product may emit a "new" smell which will disappear over a relatively short period
of operation.
Check to make sure that the power cord is correctly connected to the outlet.
Test that the outlet is functioning properly by using another appliance or lamp.
Check the fuse or circuit breaker. The outlet may be overloaded if other appliances are
also in use. Determine and correct the cause of the overload.
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 decrease and the sound
level of the air cleaner will increase. A completely blocked filter will cause a loud rumbling
sound because no air is getting through.
If none of the above procedures restore operation, return your unit to the store. If the
store's return policy does not allow the return, return the complete unit per the
instructions in the warranty section of this owner's manual. Do not attempt to repair the
unit yourself as it may cause injury, and the warranty does not cover damage resulting
from unauthorized attempts to repair or from any use not in accordance with this
manual.
Storage
If you store your Honeywell HEPA air cleaner for more than 30 days, we recommend:
Removing both the primary HEPA filter and the Odor-Lock™ filter from the unit.
Discarding the Odor-Lock™ filter.
Wrapping the HEPA filter in an air-tight plastic bag or plastic wrap. Be sure that the filter
is totally sealed.
To restore the air cleaner to service, unwrap the HEPA filter, install a new Odor-Lock™ filter,
and reinstall both filters in the air cleaner. See "Filter Replacement" section for proper
installation.
