Important Safety Instructions
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. Save these instructions for easy reference.
When using electrical appliances,
basic precautions should always be followed to reduce breakage, risk of fire, electric
shock and injury to persons including the following:
1. Read all instructions before
operating the air cleaner.
2. Place air cleaner where it is
not easily knocked over by persons in the household.
3. Always unplug when not in use.
4. Do not use any product with a
damaged cord or plug or if product malfunctions, is dropped or damaged in any manner. Keep
the cord away from heated surfaces.
5. Do not use air cleaner
outdoors.
6. Never use air cleaner unless
it is fully assembled.
7. Do not run power cord under
carpets, and do not cover with throw rugs. Arrange cord such that it will not be tripped
over.
8. Do not use air cleaner where
combustible gases or vapors are present.
9. Do not expose the air cleaner
to rain, or use near water, in a bathroom, laundry area or other damp location.
10. To disconnect the air
cleaner, first turn the air cleaner OFF and remove plug from the outlet.
11. The air cleaner must be used
in its upright position.
12. Do not allow foreign objects
to enter ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause electric shock or damage to the
air cleaner. Do not block air outlets or intakes.
13. Locate air cleaner near power
outlet and avoid using an extension cord.
14. The air cleaner has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce risk of shock, this plug is
intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO
NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.
15. A loose fit between the plug
and the AC outlet (receptacle) may cause overheating and a distortion of the plug. Contact
a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn receptacles.
16. Do not sit, stand or place
heavy objects on the air cleaner.
17. Disconnect power supply
before servicing.
18. WARNING: To reduce risk of
fire or electric shock, do not use this product with any solid-state speed control device. |

Congratulations...
You now own a quality portable
HEPA air cleaner that has been engineered and crafted for your satisfaction.
Honeywell air cleaners
incorporate a true HEPA filter. HEPA is an acronym for High Efficiency Particulate Air.
Our Consumer Relations
representatives will be pleased to help with any questions or concerns you may have about
your Honeywell air cleaner. Please call our Consumer Relations Dept. at (800) 332-1110 for
assistance. |
For
Best Performance...
We recommend that you operate
your Honeywell air cleaner 24 hours a day because indoor air can be quickly contaminated
by activity in a room and infiltration of outside air. While all the air in a room will
not be processed by the air cleaner, the more air circulated through the filter, the more
filtered air returned to the room. Portable air cleaners will be much more effective in
rooms where all doors and windows are closed.
For models that include a
CPZ odor and gas adsorbing filter(17250 and 17450 series), carefully remove the
plastic bag which protects the CPZ filter during shipment before operating your air
cleaner. Your air cleaner will not operate properly with the plastic bag in place, and it
may damage the air cleaner. The plastic bag may contain small particles and dust caused by
vibration of the CPZ filter during shipment. Use care to avoid soiling clothing,
carpets and other furnishings with the particles or dust.
The Honeywell HEPA air cleaner
can be placed on the floor in almost any location. However, for best performance the air
outlet slot should not be blocked for at least 3 feet (1 meter) in all directions.
Due to the large volume of air
drawn towards the air cleaner, surrounding areas should be cleaned and/or vacuumed
frequently to prevent build up. This may help keep your home cleaner and may extend the
life of your prefilter. If the unit is placed on a light colored carpeting, a small mat or
rug should be used to ease cleaning and prevent any permanent staining. This is
particularly important in homes with heavier contamination from smoking or fireplaces. |
Construction...
Your Honeywell air cleaner has
five basic components: the
locking mechanism,
the endcap,
the HEPA filter,
the activated
carbon pre-filter,
and the base assembly (with
controls and motor). |

Page 4 CONTINUED 17000 Series... Filter Check/Reset
Monitors
The 17000 series air cleaner
is equipped with electronic controls and Intelli-Check Filter Monitors to serve as
a convenient reminder when to replace the pre-filter and HEPA filter. The filter monitors
will begin counting the hours of use once the unit is powered on. |
Filter
Check/Reset Monitors

|
The
Intelli-Check Filter Monitors will count the hours of filter use based on the
units operating speed, and will indicate when the filters expected life has
been reached. This is beneficial because the expected life of a filter depends on the
amount of air and contaminants drawn through it. Once each filter has reached its expected
life, its light will remain on until it is RESET. You may unplug the air cleaner without
interrupting the hours counted. |
CHECK
Expected Filter Life Usage.
To check the amount of
expected filter life used, quickly press the filter monitor button when the unit is turned
on. It will flash up to 3 or 4 times, depending upon how much expected filter life has
been used. The filter monitors are intended as guidelines only, as individual use may
vary.
Check Pre-filter life used by
quickly pressing the pre-filter monitor button: |

|
Check HEPA
filter life used by quickly pressing the HEPA filter monitor button: *If operated an average of 12 hours a
day on medium speed, the filter monitor light will indicate replacement in about 3 months
for the pre-filter, and about 1 year and 9 months for the HEPA filter.
NOTE: If operated on a higher
speed for a greater number of hours each day, the filter light monitors will indicate
replacement sooner than if operated on a lower speed for fewer hours each day.
RESET Filter Monitor After
Filter Replacement.
When the filter monitor light
remains on, it is time to replace the filter. Once the filter has been replaced, you must
reset the filter monitor. With the unit powered on, press the filter monitor button down
for a 5 second delay. The light will turn off.

Replacement
filters may be purchased from the retail store or ordered from the dealer where you
purchased the product. If you cannot locate one in your area please call our Consumer
Relations Dept. at (800) 332-1110 for assistance. |
When to Replace
Filters RESET
THE FILTER MONITOR ONCE EACH FILTER HAS BEEN REPLACED.
See "Filter Check/Reset
Monitors" section for further details.
For model 17250 and 17450
series, after replacing the CPZ filter, use the enclosed CPZ filter reminder label to
indicate the next time the filter is to be replaced (approximately every six months).
CAUTION: Do not attempt to
wash either the activated carbon pre-filter, the HEPA filter or the CPZ filter. They are
not washable and washing will damage the filters.
With proper maintenance, your
Honeywell air cleaner is designed to provide years of high efficiency air cleaning. Your
Honeywell air cleaner contains two filters: one activated carbon pre-filter and one
primary HEPA filter. Models 17250 and 17450 contains three filters: one activated carbon
pre-filter, one primary HEPA filter, and a CPZ odor and gas adsorbing filter.
The activated carbon
pre-filter captures lint and other large particles and helps protect the HEPA filter. It
also helps reduce common household odors. The pre-filter should be replaced at least every 3 months. You may need to replace the pre-filter more often
if the unit is used in a smoking environment or if unpleasant odors persist. We DO NOT
recommend operating the air cleaner without the activated carbon pre-filter or without
following the filter replacement guidelines.
The primary HEPA filter should
remain effective for 1 to 3 years, depending upon the environment in which the air cleaner
is operating. Honyewell recommends changing the HEPA filter based upon operation
conditions-every 3 years for light usage, 2 years for normal usage and 1 year for heavy
usage.
The CPZ Filter Cartridge
should be replaced at least every 6 months. Filter life depends upon condition of use.
Our recommendations regarding
filter replacement intervals are intended as guidelines only. Life expectancy of any
filter media is dependent on the concentration of the contaminants to which the system is
exposed. If there are sources of large amounts of contaminant generation (such as
woodworking or heavy smoking) the useful life of the filter media in your air cleaner may
be reduced.
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 reduce and the sound level of the air cleaner will
increase somewhat. A completely blocked filter will cause a loud rumbling sound and almost
no airflow. |
How to Change the
Filters...
CAUTION: TURN OFF THE AIR
CLEANER AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING
The only two parts requiring
any service are the activated carbon pre-filter and the HEPA filter (also CPZ
filter on 17250 and 17450 model series). No tools are needed. To change either filter,
disassemble the unit as shown.
1. Turn off the air cleaner
and disconnect from power supply.
2. Loosen the locking
mechanism by turning it counterclockwise and remove the endcap from the unit (Fig. 1).
3. Remove the HEPA filter,
(CPZ filter on 17250 and 17450 model series) and activated carbon pre-filter from
the base assembly (Fig. 2).
4. Remove the fasteners from
the activated carbon pre-filter and remove it from the HEPA filter cartridge (Fig. 3).
5. Replace filter(s) as
needed, and discard used filter(s).
6. Wrap the activated carbon
pre-filter around the HEPA filter cartridge and secure it with the fasteners provided. |
 |
Reassemble
your Honeywell air cleaner as described below:
1. Place the assembled HEPA
filter, (CPZ filter on 17250 and 17450 model series) and the activated carbon
pre-filter in the base assembly.
2. Replace the endcap onto the
unit.
3. Reattach the locking
mechanism and turn it clockwise until securely tightened.
4. Plug into a wall outlet.
5. Turn unit ON and RESET
filter monitor(s) for filter(s) replaced by pressing the appropriate filter reset
button(s) for a 5 second delay (Fig. 4).
Note: For model 17250 and
17450 series, after replacing the CPZ filter, use the enclosed CPZ filter
reminder label to indicate the next time the filter is to be replaced. |
 |
If the Air
Cleaner Does Not Operate... Check to make sure that the power cord is correctly connected
to the outlet.
Test that the outlet is
functioning properly 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.
If none of the above
procedures restore operation, return your unit to the store or if the store's return
policy does not allow, return the complete unit per the instructions in the warranty
section of this owner's guide. Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.
|
Storage...
If you store your Honeywell
HEPA air cleaner for more than 30 days, we recommend:
Remove both the primary
HEPA filter and the activated carbon pre-filter from the unit. Also remove CPZ
filter in model 17250 and 17450 series.
Discard the pre-filter.
Discard the CPZ filter (in model 17250 and 17450 series only).
Wrap 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 activated carbon pre-filter, and
CPZ filter (model 17250 and 17450 series), and replace the filters in the air
cleaner. See "How to Change the Filters..." section for proper installation.
