AIR QUALITY INDICATOR

The built-in VOC sensor constantly monitors room air quality. The Air Quality Indicator Light on the bottom of the Air Purifier will illuminate the floor below it with the current room air quality level: Green=Good Yellow=Moderate Red=Poor

FILTRATION

The Honeywell Designer Series Air Purifier delivers proven HEPA performance with an odor fighting Pre-Filter, Certified Honeywell HEPA Filter and an Ultra Quiet motor.

GETTING STARTED

Ensure that the unit is powered off and unplugged.
Select a firm, level, and flat location. Ensure the unit is more than 6 inches away from the closest wall or furniture so that the grille is not blocked. Portable air purifiers are more effective in rooms where all doors and windows are closed.
NOTE: If the unit is placed on a light-colored carpet, a small mat or rug should be used underneath to prevent staining. This is especially important in homes with contamination from smoking, fireplaces, or where candles are burned.
Remove the filter grille cover by grasping the recess in the top center of the grille cover and pulling forward.
Remove the round filter cartridge from the air purifier by pulling on the tab on the top of the filter. This cartridge contains a wrapped HEPA Filter and wrapped Pre-Filter.
Remove protective plastic wrap from Filter(s).
Wrap the Pre-Filter around the HEPA Filter cartridge and secure it with the fasteners provided.
Place the Filter(s) back into the air purifier housing, making sure the plastic ring is at the top and the
tab faces out.
Replace the filter grille cover by placing the tabs on the bottom of the grille into the slots on the unit. Gently push the top of the grille until secure.

ENERGY STAR

The energy efficiency of this ENERGY STAR certified model is measured based on a ratio between the model’s CADR for Smoke and the electrical energy it consumes, or CADR/Watt.

This product earned the ENERGY STAR label by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. EPA. Room air cleaners have demonstrated the
potential for improving air quality and providing health benefits. EPA does not endorse manufacturer claims regarding the degree to which a specific product will produce healthier indoor air.

OPERATION

Ensure that the plastic wrap has been removed from the filters and the filters are replaced in the unit. Next, plug the power cord into a working electrical outlet.
Tap Power Button to turn on the air purifier. The air purifier will start automatically on Auto Mode until another cleaning level is selected.
To shut off, tap the Power Button once.
Use the Cleaning Level button to choose a different cleaning level.

QUIET CLEAN: quietest setting and optimized to capture the smallest particles.
GENERAL CLEAN: recommended for dust and general, everyday air cleaning.
ALLERGEN: optimizes allergen capturing performance.
Sleep Mode
Pressing the SLEEP MODE button sets the unit to the lowest cleaning level for ultra-quiet nighttime operation while dimming control panel LEDs to 10% and completely turns off the Air Quality Indicator light.
Automatic Cleaning Mode & Air Quality Indicator
When the Auto mode AUTO is activated, the air purifier will automatically operate at the appropriate cleaning level to reduce the VOCs that are detected in the room. To select this mode, tap the Auto button and the Auto Mode light will illuminate to indicate the setting has been activated.
This air purifier is equipped with a VOC Sensor that detects the level of VOCs in the room and provides a visual display to indicate air quality. The Air Quality Indicator color display is located at the bottom of the air purifier. The VOC Sensor is constantly monitoring the air and the Air Quality Indicator light will illuminate the floor either green, yellow, or red depending on the level of VOCs detected in the room:
- Green – Good air quality. There is a low level of VOCs detected.
- Yellow – Moderate air quality. There is a moderate level of VOCs detected.
- Red – Poor air quality. There is an elevated level of VOCs detected.

VOCs are gases that are emitted from certain household cleaning, home improvement, and even common home décor products. These gases can be irritating if inhaled.

NOTE: Upon start up, the unit may take a few minutes to calibrate and measure the air quality. During this time, the Air Quality Indicator will pulse between green, yellow, and red until the air quality is determined. When the appropriate reading is determined, the indicator will then remain a solid color.

Filter Check/Reset
This air purifier model has a Filter Check Light to remind you when it is time to replace the Pre-Filter and HEPA Filter based on the air purifier’s hours of use.
When the Filter Reset Light illuminates, it is time to replace the Pre-Filter.
When the Filter Reset Light blinks every 2 seconds, it is time to replace the HEPA Filter. For more detailed information, see the next section.

REPLACEMENT FILTERS

To help ensure stated product performance, use only Genuine Honeywell Replacement Filters
You can purchase Genuine Honeywell Replacement Filters at the retailer where you purchased your air purifier or order directly from www.HoneywellPluggedIn.com

When the Filter Reset Indicator Light illuminates or blinks, it is time to replace one or more of the filters.

FILTER CHECK/RESET LIGHT| FILTER| WHEN
TO REPLACE| NUMBER OF FILTERS NEEDED
---|---|---|---
Solid Illumination (not blinking)| Honeywell Pre-Filter
A **A + ** Pre-Filter Pre-Filter
HRF-AP1 or HRF-APP1| Every 3 Months| 1 Pre-Filter
Blinks every 2 seconds| Honeywell HEPA Filter J ****

Filter HRFJ830

| Every 12 Months| 1 HEPA Filter

To change either filter, remove the filter cartridge. See the Getting Started section for filter removal and replacement instructions .

REPLACEMENT FILTERS (CONTINUED)

To change either filter, follow the steps described below:

Remove the HEPA Filter J and Pre-Filter A cartridge from the Air Purifier.
Filter Pre-Filter

Remove fasteners holding the Pre-Filter and remove the Pre-Filter from the HEPA Filter cartridge. Cut a new Pre-Filter from the Universal HRF-AP1 Pre-Filter using the old Filter as a template (5.7 in x 22.5 in). If also replacing the HEPA Filter, discard the used HEPA Filter but keep the Pre-Filter fasteners to use on the new HEPA Filter.
Wrap the new Pre-Filter around the HEPA Filter cartridge and secure it with the fasteners provided.
Reinsert assembled filter cartridge into the Air Purifier. Ensure the plastic ring is on the top with the tab facing out.

These replacement 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 smoke will reduce the useful performance of the filters.
NOTE: The Pre-Filter and HEPA Filters are not washable and should not be vacuumed. DO NOT immerse them in water.

RESET FILTER CHECK INDICATOR

After you have replaced the appropriate filters, plug the unit back in. The Filter Reset Light will remain on or blinking until it is reset.

To reset the Filter Check/Reset Light:
With the unit powered ON, press and hold the Filter Reset button for 3 seconds until light turns off or stops blinking. The light will stay off until the next filter needs replacing.
NOTE: This procedure is the same whether you are resetting the Pre-Filter or HEPA Filter Reset Light.

USING THE AROMATHERAPY TRAY

This Designer Series Air Purifier features an Aromatherapy Tray (Essential oils not included). Follow the steps below to use the Aromatherapy feature on your Designer Series Air Purifier.
Add Essential Oil to the Aromatherapy Tray:

Open the cover of the Aromatherapy Tray.
Place cotton ball or other absorbing material (not included) into the tray.
Add a few drops of your favorite essential aroma oils (not included) onto the material.
Once essential oils have been added, replace the cover by aligning the larger tab with the large slot and then pressing down until it snaps in place.
Aroma will be infused with the cleaner air being returned back into the room while the unit is in use.

Note: The use of scented aromatherapy oil may trigger the VOC to illuminate yellow or red under the unit and cause the unit to operate at a higher speed on AUTO mode.

CLEANING THE AROMATHERAPY TRAY

The aromatherapy tray can be removed from the unit for easier cleaning.

To clean the aromatherapy tray, remove the aromatherapy tray cover, and discard the absorbent materials or cotton.
Twist the essential oils tray counter-clockwise (to the left) until it loosens, then lift it out of the unit.
Wipe down the tray and wash it under clean tap water until it is clean.

Add new cotton or other absorbent material and add a few drops of essential oils if desired and replace the cover as directed above.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

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 and Pre-Filter cartridge from the unit.
Wrap the HEPA and Pre-Filter cartridge in an air-tight plastic bag.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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 continues to perform 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 the filters will ruin them.

What are VOCs?
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are emitted from various solids and liquids such as 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.

Why did my Air Purifier suddenly turn on a higher setting?
Is the air purifier set to Auto Mode? If it is, the unit may have sensed a higher level of VOCs and has adjusted the cleaning level accordingly.
