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 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.

WARNING: To Reduce The Risk of Fire or Electric Shock, Do Not Use This Air Purifier With Any Solid-State Speed Control Device.

For Best Performance

We recommend that you operate your Honeywell air purifier 24 hours a day because indoor air can be quickly contaminated by activity in a room, infiltration of outside air, and from other sources of contamination. While all the air in a room will not be processed by the air purifier, the more air circulated through the filter, the more filtered air is returned to the room. Portable air purifiers will be much more effective in rooms where all doors and windows are closed.

Set-up

• Select a firm, level and flat location. For proper air flow, locate the unit at least 3 feet (1 meter) from any wall or furniture.
• Due to the large volume of air drawn towards the air purifier, surrounding areas should be cleaned and/or vacuumed frequently to prevent dust buildup. If the unit is placed on light colored carpeting, a small mat or rug should be used to ease cleaning and prevent any permanent staining of carpeting. This is particularly important in homes with heavier contamination from smoking or fireplaces.
• Installing Rubber Feet:

Your air purifier should have a plastic bag attached to it that includes 4 rubber feet with an adhesive backing (Fig A). To limit product vibration attach the rubber feet to the bottom of the air purifier as indicated (Fig B).

• Locate pre-filter in the box and install before initial operation. Refer to "Removing/Changing the Filters" section for proper installation.

Fig A

Fig B

Construction

Your Honeywell air purifier 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).

Operation: Model 17000

LOCATE PRE-FILTER IN THE BOX AND INSTALL BEFORE INITIAL OPERATION.

Refer to "Removing/Changing the Filters" section for proper installation.

• Ensure the air purifier is plugged into a working electrical outlet.
• Allow the unit to operate for a few seconds at HIGH speed, then set the unit to HIGH or MEDIUM for faster, more powerful room cleaning, or press the LOW button for quieter operation.

It is recommended you run your air purifier 24 hours a day to ensure continuous cleaning. Portable air purifiers are more effective in rooms where all doors and windows are closed.

Intelli-Check™ Filter Indicator: Model 17000

The Intelli-Check™ Filter Indicators serve as a convenient guideline for when to clean the LifeTime HEPA™ Permanent Filter and when to replace the carbon pre-filter. Depending upon your individual usage (environment and hours used), you may need to clean/replace the filters more or less frequently.

When the HEPA Filter Indicator Light turns on, it's time to clean your HEPA filter. The Intelli-Check™ reminder for when to clean the HEPA filter is intended as a guideline only as the performance of the 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 HEPA filter in your air purifier may need to be cleaned more often. For instructions on how to clean your HEPA filter, refer to section "Cleaning the LifeTime HEPA™ Permanent Filter" in this manual.

When your Pre-filter Indicator Light turns on, it's time to replace your pre-filter. It should be 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 carbon pre-filter more often. For instructions on how to replace your pre-filter, refer to section "Removing/Changing the Filters" in this manual.

Note: We do not recommend operating the air purifier without the carbon pre-filter.

Intelli-Check™ Filter Monitors: Model 17005

The model 17005 series air purifier is equipped with Intelli-Check™ Filter Monitors to serve as a convenient reminder for when to clean the LifeTime HEPA™ Filter and when to replace the carbon pre-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. Each filter bar will fill up from clean to dirty as its expected filter life is used up. Once the bar is completely full, it is time to check and clean/replace the appropriate filter.

• To move between the PRE-FILTER bar and the HEPA FILTER bar, quickly press the FILTER button (Fig. 6a).
• To RESET a filter bar that appears on the display, press and hold the FILTER button for 5 seconds, or until the filter bar clears to CLEAN status (Fig. 6b).

The Intelli-Check™ Filter Monitors calculate the expected pre-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. Depending upon your individual usage (environment, hours and speed of operation), you may need to check and replace the pre-filters more or less frequently.

Battery Replacement: Model 17005 Series

Remote control handset: Two 1.5V AAA size batteries. Replace as needed.

Control Panel Battery backup: Replace battery with Panasonic CR 2032, 3V only. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion. Replace when Battery Low icon

appears on viewing screen (☑). Keep unit plugged in while replacing battery

to prevent loss of customized programs. To replace battery, locate battery door on control panel. Use a flat head screwdriver to gently pry up both ends of the battery door (Fig. 7). Carefully remove battery holder from unit. Make sure that the (+) sign on the battery is facing up in the battery holder before returning the new battery to the unit. Dispose of used battery promptly. Keep away from children. Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in fire.

Cleaning the LifeTime HEPATM Permanent Filter: Model 17000 and 17005

The Honeywell models 17000 and 17005 are equipped with the LifeTime HEPA™ Filter which will last for the life of your air purifier when operated under normal conditions. Your LifeTime HEPA™ Filter is vacuum-able and should be cleaned regularly for optimum performance.

To Clean Your HEPA Filter:

DO NOT USE WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS TO CLEAN THE HEPA FILTER.

• Turn the air purifier off and unplug from the wall outlet.
• After removing the filter assembly from the air purifier (refer to section "Removing/Changing the Filters" in this manual), separate and remove the carbon pre-filter from the HEPA filter and place aside (or discard if pre-filter needs replacement).
• To vacuum-clean the filter, hold the filter and run a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle or brush attachment along the filter to pick-up the dirt and particles (Fig. 12). Repeat along the entire surface of the HEPA filter.
• Do not penetrate the HEPA paper pleats with the vacuum attachment since tearing or puncturing can occur.
• Note that the filter may still be discolored even after cleaning it. This is acceptable and will not affect performance. Also, do not be concerned if you still see particles attached to the HEPA filter. The filter performance is still optimal.
• After vacuuming the filter, wrap the pre-filter around the HEPA filter and place the whole assembly back into the internal chamber of the air purifier (see "Removing/ Changing the Filters").
• You now need to reset the Intelli-Check™ Filter Indicator. With the air purifier powered on, press and hold the appropriate filter indicator button for approximately 10 seconds until the light turns off (see Fig. 1).

*Permanent filter life based on ordinary use and care.

Cleaning and Storage

We recommend that you clean the air purifier at least once a month 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 you store your Air Purifier for more than 30 days, we recommend:

• Removing both the primary HEPA filter and the 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 purifier to service, unwrap the HEPA filter, install a new carbon prefilter, and reinstall both filters in the air purifier. See "Removing/Changing the Filters" section for proper installation.
