Congratulations…
You now own a quality portable HEPA air cleaner that has been engineered and
crafted for your satisfaction.
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 or email us at [email protected].
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, infiltration of
outside air, and from sources of contamination. 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.
It 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.
NOTE: 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. If the unit
is placed on light colored carpeting, a small mat or rug should be used to ease
cleaning and prevent permanent staining. This is particularly important in homes with
heavy contamination from smoking or fireplaces.

To encourage operation on higher speeds, the Honeywell
18150 series air cleaner has been designed to operate very
quietly and effectively without a cool exhaust draft. To operate,
press the POWER button to HIGH speed for a few seconds, and
then leave it on high for faster, more powerful air circulation, or
move it to a lower setting as desired.

Intelli-Check Filter Monitors…
This air cleaner is equipped with Intelli-Check Filter Monitors to serve as a
convenient guideline for replacement of the pre-filter and HEPA filter based on the
air cleaner’s hours of use and operating speed. This is beneficial because a filter’s
life depends on the amount of air and contaminants drawn through it. The monitors
have the ability to indicate the amount of expected filter life used. Once a filter has
reached the end of its expected life, its light will remain on until it is RESET. You may
unplug the air cleaner without interrupting the filter monitors.
The Intelli-Check™ Filter Monitors count the expected filter life based on an assumed
average operating time of 12 hours a day on medium speed. Therefore, it will
indicate replacement of the Pre-filter in about 3 months, and the HEPA filter in about
1 year and 9 months. Depending upon your individual usage (environment, hours
and speed of operation), you may need to check and replace the filters more or less
frequently.
To CHECK Expected Filter Life Usage
When the unit is turned on, quickly press the filter monitor button. The pre-filter light
will flash up to 3 times and the HEPA filter light will flash up to 4 times, depending
upon how much expected filter life has been used.

To RESET Filter Monitor
When the filter monitor light remains on, it is time to replace the filter and reset the
filter monitor. With the unit powered on, press and hold the filter monitor button
down for approximately 5 seconds until the light turns off.

Filter Replacement Intervals…
CAUTION: Do not attempt to wash either the activated carbon pre-filter or the
HEPA 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. Our recommendations regarding filter replacement intervals
are intended as guidelines only, as 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 dust from woodworking
or heavy smoking) the useful life of the filter media in your air cleaner may be reduced
and require early replacement.
The primary HEPA filter should remain effective for 1 to 3 years, depending upon the
environment in which the air cleaner is operating. Honeywell 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 activated carbon pre-filter helps protect the HEPA filter by capturing lint and other
large particles, and helps reduce normal household odors. It should be checked
monthly and replaced at least every 3 months. If there are heavy concentrations of
odors, smoke, or large particles in the home, you may need to change the pre-filter
more often. We DO NOT recommend operating the air cleaner without the activated
carbon pre-filter or without following the filter replacement guidelines.
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.
Storage...
If you store your Honeywell HEPA air cleaner for more than 30 days, we recommend:
•
•
•
Removing both the primary HEPA filter and the activated carbon pre-filter from the unit.
Discarding the pre-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 activated
carbon pre-filter, and reinstall both filters in the air cleaner. See “How to Install and
Replace the Filters...” section for proper installation.
How to Install and Replace the Filters…

Troubleshooting
Important – this air cleaner has been designed to operate very quietly and
effectively without a cool exhaust draft, especially on lower speeds.
•
•
Start on HIGH 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 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. If the
