1

What does it mean when the VOC indicator light turns red?

A red indicator light means a high level of VOCs has been detected in the room, and the air purifier will automatically operate at the Allergen setting. The unit will continue to monitor VOC levels and adjust the cleaning level as necessary. (Page 5)

2

How do I remove the protective wrapping from the filters before first use?

Before using your new air purifier, make sure it is OFF and unplugged, then press the two hand symbols on the front grille to release it and pull the grille toward you to remove it. Grasp the sides of the filter frame near its top end and pull outward, then remove the protective wrap from the filters including the pre-filter. Repeat for the second and third filters if applicable. (Page 3)

3

How often should I replace the HEPA filters and the Odor Reducing Pre-filter?

The Certified HEPA Filters should be replaced every 12 months, and the Odor Reducing Pre-filter should be replaced every 3 months. These are guidelines only — if your home has heavy odors, smoking, or high levels of particles, filters may need to be replaced sooner. (Page 7)

4

My air purifier is making more noise and the airflow seems reduced — what could be causing this?

The filters are likely dirty, as high amounts of contaminants can block the pores in the filter and restrict airflow. You should replace the HEPA filters and the pre-filter, and to ensure proper performance, replace them with Genuine Honeywell filters. (Page 7)

5

Can I wash the HEPA filters or the pre-filter to clean them?

No, none of the filters are washable. Washing either filter will ruin it, and you should never immerse them in water. (Pages 6–7)

6

How do I adjust or turn off the LED brightness on the control panel?

Tap the Dimmer icon once to dim the lights to LOW, tap it twice to shut the lights OFF (the air purifier will not shut off), and tap it a third time to return brightness to HIGH. Note that the Power and Bluetooth icons will always remain illuminated regardless of the dimmer setting. (Page 5)

    Set-Up

  • Select a firm, level, and flat location.
  • When operating, large volumes of air are drawn toward the air purifier. Surrounding areas should be cleaned
  • and/or vacuumed frequently to prevent build-up of dust and other contaminants. This may also help prolong the life of the filter. If the unit is placed on a light colored carpet, a small mat or rug should be used underneath to prevent permanent staining. This is especially important in homes with contamination from smoking, fireplaces, or where candles are burned.
  • Ensure the front of the unit faces away from the closest wall or furniture.
  • Ensure no grilles are blocked.
  • The HEPA Filters and Odor Reducing Pre-filter are supplied within the air purifier. New air purifiers have their filters wrapped to ensure purity, and are labeled to help identify the proper replacement filter (Type R Certified HEPA Filter and Type A Odor Reducing Pre-filter).
  • Before using your new air purifier you must remove the wrappers covering the filters and
  • pre-filter. Make sure the air purifier is OFF and unplugged. Press the two hand symbols ( ) on the front grille to release it from the unit and pull the grille toward you to remove it (see Fig. 2). Grasp the sides of the filter frame near its top end and pull outward. Repeat for the second and third filters (if applicable).
  • Remove protective wrap from the filters (including the pre-filter) that have
  • been supplied with your air purifier.
  • Place the HEPA filters into the air purifier housing. Ensure that the removal
  • “pull” tabs are facing outward (this will facilitate filter removal later). Place the pre-filter in front of the HEPA filters. Secure the edges of the pre-filter to fasteners located around the edges of where the HEPA filters are inserted. These will hold the pre-filter securely in place.
  • Replace the front grille by placing the tabs on the bottom of the grille into the
  • slot(s) on the unit. Gently push the top of the grille into place by pressing on the hand symbols ( ) to secure in place.

    5 Using the Dimmer Option The Dimmer Option ( ) allows you to adjust the brightness of the LEDs on the control panel (Fig. 4). You may wish to adjust the brightness depending on the room where the unit is placed. The unit always turns on with the brightness on HIGH. To adjust brightness:

  • TAP the Dimmer icon (
  • ) once to dim the lights to LOW.
  • TAP the Dimmer icon (
  • ) twice and it will shut the lights OFF. (the air purifier will not shut off).
  • TAPPING the Dimmer icon (
  • ) a third time will return the brightness to HIGH. NOTE: The Power ( ) and the Bluetooth ( ) icon will always remain illuminated. Using the VOC Function: This HEPA air purifier has a built-in sensor that detects when Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are present in the room air. VOCs are gases that are emitted from certain household cleaning products, home improvement, and even common home decor products. These gases can be harmful or irritating if inhaled. When the VOC auto sensing mode is selected, the upper left indicator light will illuminate blue and the air purifier will automatically operate at the appropriate cleaning level to reduce these gases. The lower right indicator will illuminate green, amber, or red depending on the level of VOCs detected in the room by the sensor.. Green =  Low level of VOCs detected, air purifier will operate in the lowest setting, Germ. Amber =  Moderate level of VOCs detected, air purifier will operate in the medium level setting, General Clean. Red =  High level of VOCs detected, air purifier will operate in the Allergen setting. The air purifier will continue to monitor the VOC levels in the room and adjust the cleaning levels as necessary. OPERATION (continued) Fig. 4 Dimmer Function Fig. 5 VOC Function Sensor This air purifier has two electronic filter check lights to remind you when to check and replace the HEPA Filters and Odor Reducing Pre-filter. The “Filters” or “Pre-Filter” light will illuminate when the HEPA filters and/or the pre-filter needs to be replaced. These indicator lights are based on the number of hours the air purifier has been in use. Depending on the environment and contaminants in the area, the filters may need to be changed before the recommended time (Fig. 6). You should periodically check these filters. Depending on operating conditions, the HEPA filters should be replaced every 12 months, and the Odor Reducing Pre-Filter every 3 months, especially if there have been heavy odors and particles in the home.

    6 We recommend that you clean the air purifier at least once every 3 months and before extended storage. Use only a dry cloth to wipe the external surfaces of the air purifier.

    Do Not Use Water, Wax Polish, Or Any Chemical Solution.

    If your Air Purifier will not be used for more than 30 days, we recommend that you:
  • Remove the HEPA Filters from the unit.
  • Wrap the HEPA Filters in an air tight plastic bag.
  • Remove the Odor Reducing Pre-filter and place it in an air tight plastic bag.
  • Cleaning And Storage

    Replacing The True Hepa Filters

    See INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS on page 3 of this manual. See ACCESSORIES AND REPLACEMENT FILTERS on page 7 of this manual for replacement filter information. To RESET Either Electronic Filter Check: After you have replaced the appropriate filters, plug the unit back in. The “Check Filters” or “Check Pre-Filter” light will remain on until it is reset. With the unit powered OFF, press the lighted button and hold for approximately 3 seconds until the light turns off. The electronic filter check is now reset. Depending on individual usage (environment and hours used), you may need to replace filters more or less frequently. NOTE: If you change the Pre-filter or HEPA Filter before the Electronic Filter Check lights are illuminated, you should still reset the indicator. With the unit plugged in and powered off, press and hold the appropriate “Filters” or “Pre-Filter” button for 5 seconds. The light will flash red twice to signal that the indicator has been reset. These cleaning intervals are intended as guidelines only. Performance of any filter media is dependent upon the concentration of contaminants going through the system. High concentrations of contaminants such as dust, pet dander, and smoking will reduce the useful performance of the filter. NOTE: None of the filters are washable. DO NOT immerse them in water.

    Accessories And Replacement Filters

    To ensure stated product performance, use only Genuine Honeywell Replacement Filters. The Certified HEPA Filters should be replaced every 12 months and the Odor Reducing Pre-filter should be replaced every 3 months, especially if there have been heavy odors and particles in the home. You may purchase Genuine Honeywell Replacement Filters at the retailer where you purchased your air purifier or order directly from www.replacementfilters.com.

  • Certified HEPA filter R Model HRF-R1 (single pack) or HRF-R2 (2 pack) or HRF-R3 (3 pack)
  • Odor Reducing Pre-filter A model HRF-AP1 or Household Gas & Odor Reducing
  • Pre-filter A model HRF-APP1 My Air Purifier is starting to make noise and the air output is less. What’s wrong? The filters may be dirty. High amounts of contaminants can block the pores in the filter and stop the air from moving through it. Replace the Filters. The HEPA filters should be replaced every year and the Pre-filter should be replaced every 3 months. Please note these are guidelines only and filters should be checked periodically as individual home conditions may vary. To ensure the unit is performing properly, replace with Genuine Honeywell filters. How long should I run my Air Purifier? In general, the unit will be most effective when doors and windows are closed. It is recommended that you run your air purifier while you are at home to help clean the air. If desired or conditions warrant, you may run your air purifier 24 hours a day. Can I wash any of the filters in my Air Purifier? No. Washing either filter will ruin it. What are VOCs? Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are emitted from various solids and liquids such a paints, cleaning supplies, building materials, and permanent markers. Some of these compounds can have adverse short and long term health effects and consistently have higher concentrations indoors than outside.

    (Source: http://www.epa.gov/iaq/voc.html) Why did my Air Purifier suddenly turn on a higher setting? Is the air purifier set to VOC Mode, or Auto-Set mode from the App? If it is, the unit may have sensed a higher level of VOCs or Allergens and have adjusted the cleaning level accordingly.
