    feature.
15. A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and a distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace
    loose or worn outlet.
16. Do not sit, stand or place heavy objects on the air purifier.
17. Disconnect power supply before servicing.

YOUR AIR PURIFIER

HPA090 series

Type R A A R Odor Reducing Pre-Filter or R A A R Household Gas & Odor Reducing Pre-Filter

HPA100 series, HPA200 series, HPA300 series

Type R A A R Odor Reducing Pre-Filter or R A A R Household Gas & Odor Reducing Pre-Filter

HOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER WORKS

This model air purifier incorporates a 2-stage cleaning system to help clean the air that passes through the filter in the unit (Fig. 1).

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 contaminates. 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.

INSTALL TRUE HEPA FILTERS AND ODOR REDUCING PRE-FILTER

The True 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 A A True HEPA Filter; Type R R A A R Odor Reducing Pre-Filter or R A A R Household Gas & 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 filter if applicable.

• Remove protective wrap from the filters (including the Pre-Filter) that have been supplied with your air purifier.
• Place the HEPA filter(s) into the air purifier housing. Ensure that the removal “pull” tabs are facing outward (this will facilitate filter removal later). Place the
Pre-Filter on top of the HEPA filter(s). Tuck the edges of the Pre-Filter into the tabs that are located around the edges of where the HEPA filter(s) are inserted.
This 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.

OPERATION

This product earned the ENERGY STAR rating by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. EPA. The U.S. EPA does not endorse any manufacturer claims of healthier indoor air from the use of this product.

Portable air purifiers are more effective in rooms where all doors and windows are closed. In general, it is recommended that you run your air purifier while you are at home to clean the air.

HPA090 Series Operation:

• Once the filters have been unwrapped and replaced in the unit, ensure the air purifier’s control knob is turned to the OFF position and plug the power
cord into a working electrical outlet.
• Select the desired cleaning level by turning the knob to General Clean, Allergen or Turbo setting (Fig. 3).

• The Turbo setting will operate the air purifier at the highest speed. This setting will maximize the unit’s ability to help reduce odors and will help clean the air quickly if you have a specific air quality issue that needs to be addressed.
• The Allergen setting will effectively help reduce airborne allergen from the air that passes through the filter.

HPA100, 200, 300 Series Operation:

• Once the filters have been unwrapped and replaced in the unit, plug the power cord into a working electrical outlet.
• Select the desired cleaning level by simply
TAPPING the power symbol ( ) to toggle through the setting options. A blue LED light will illuminate the selected setting: Germ, General Clean or Allergen.
TAP POWER ( ) for on/off & cleaning level selection.
ALLERGEN optimizes allergen capturing performance during allergen season.
GENERAL CLEAN for general, everyday air cleaning.
GERM optimizes germ capturing performance. Use during cold & flu season.
TAP TURBO ( ) for power cleaning or fast odor reduction.
• The Turbo setting operates the unit at the highest speed. This setting will maximize the unit’s ability to
help reduce odors and will help clean the air quickly. To select the Turbo setting the unit must already be running at one of the 3 cleaning settings, TAP the Turbo icon ( ). The Turbo LED will illuminate. TAPPING the Turbo icon ( ) again will return the air purifier to the previous cleaning setting. To shut OFF, tap the Power symbol ( ) until the air purifier shuts off.

Using the Timer Option (Not available on the HPA090 Series):

The Timer Option ( ) allows you to select how long the air purifier will run before it automatically shuts off. There are three pre-set run times: 2, 4, and 8 hours. Do
not use this option if you want the unit to run continuously.
• To set the unit for Automatic Shut Off, TAP the Auto-off Timer icon ( ).
• Continue to TAP to toggle through to the desired time setting.
• An LED light will illuminate to indicate the selected run time (Fig. 5).
• The unit will automatically shut off after the indicated run time.

Using the Dimmer Option (Not available on the HPA090 Series)

The Dimmer Option ( ) allows you to adjust the brightness of the LED displays on the control panel (Fig. 8). 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.

ELECTRONIC FILTER CHANGE REMINDER

These air purifier models each have two electronic filter checks to remind you when to check and replace the True-HEPA filters and the Odor Reducing Pre-
Filters based on the air cleaner’s hours of use.

When the True HEPA filter(s) and/or the Pre-Filter need to be replaced, the “Check Filter” or “Check Pre-Filter” light will illuminate (Fig. 7).

You should periodically check these filters. Depending on operating conditions, the True-HEPA filters should be replaced every 12 months, and the Odor
Reducing Pre-Filters every 3 months, especially if there have been heavy odors and particles in the home.

To RESET Either Electronic Filter Check:

After you have replaced the appropriate filter(s) the “Check Filter or “Check Pre-Filter” light will remain on until it is reset. With the unit powered on, press the lighted button and hold for approximately 2 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 Filter before the Electronic Filter Check lights are illuminated, it is possible to re-set the light indicators. With the unit plugged in, but NOT powered on, press and hold each button individually for at least 5 seconds. This will illuminate the indicator light. After the light turns on,
individually press and hold the “Check Filter” or “Check Pre-Filter” button until each light goes off. At this point, the filter indicator will be re-set to it’s original “clean” status.

These cleaning intervals are intended as guidelines only. Performance of any filter media is dependent upon the concentration of contaminates going through the system. High concentrations of contaminates 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.

REPLACING THE TRUE-HEPA FILTERS

See INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS on page 3 of this manual. You may be able to purchase Honeywell replacement True-HEPA filter R A A

for your air purifier at the store R where you purchased your air purifier or they can be ordered directly from Kaz USA, Inc., the licensee of Honeywell air purifiers at www.replacementfilters.com. If you have any questions, contact Kaz Consumer Services at 1-800-477-0457.

ODOR REDUCING PRE-FILTER MAINTENANCE

The odor reducing pre-filter not only helps reduce odors, but also helps capture large airborne particles that enter the grille. This Pre-Filter should be replaced every 3 months, as it will become covered with particles and fibers that will reduce filtration performance.

Use the specially designed Type R A A R Odor Reducing Pre-filter or the Type R A A R Household Gas & Odor Reducing Pre-filter, available where the True HEPA filters are sold and from Kaz at: www.replacementfilters.com or by calling Kaz Consumer Relations at 1-800-477-0457.

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 True-HEPA Filters from the unit.
• Wrap the True-HEPA Filters in an air tight plastic bag.
• Remove the Odor Reducing Pre-filter and place it 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 contaminates can block the pores in the filter and stop the air from moving through it. Replace the 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 clean the air.

Can I wash any of the filters in my Air Cleaner?
No. Washing either filter will ruin it.
