SET-UP
• Select a firm, level and flat location. For best airflow, locate the unit at least 3 feet (1 M) from any wall
or furniture.
• 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
The True-HEPA Filters are supplied within the air purifier. They are wrapped to
ensure purity, and are labeled to help identify the proper replacement filter.
Fig. 2
(Type ).
• Turn-off and unplug the air purifier. While pressing on the tab at the top of the
rear grille, pull the grille towards you and remove it (See Fig. 2). Grasp the sides
of each filter frame near its top end and pull outward. Repeat for the second
filter.
• Remove protective wrap from the filters.
• Place back into the air purifier housing by inserting the bottom edge of the filter
frame behind the two corner tabs and press the top down and inward until the
filter snaps in place.
• Snap the filter grille back into place.
OPERATION
Fig. 3
Models HPA-050 and HPA-150 Operation:
Ensure the air purifier’s control knob is turned to the OFF position ( ),
and plug the power cord into a working electrical outlet. (Fig. 3).
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.

ELECTRONIC FILTER CLEAN REMINDER
Will illuminate when it is
time to clean HEPA filters
Fig. 4
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 Absorbing pre-filters based
on the air cleaner’s hours of use.
When the True-HEPA filter(s) need to be replaced, the light below “HEPA filter” will
remain on until it is RESET. You may unplug the air cleaner without interrupting the
filter check.
The light below “pre-filter” will illuminate when it is time to replace the pre-filter.
You should periodically check these filters. Depending on operating conditions, the
True-HEPA filters should be replaced every 12 months, and the odor absorbing
pre-filters every 3 months, especially if there have been heavy odors in the home.
To RESET Either Electronic Filter Check:
When a filter monitor light remains on, it is time to replace the True HEPA or Pre-filter and reset the filter
monitor light. With the unit powered on, press the lighted button with the end of a ball point pen with the
pen tip retracted and hold for approximately 2 seconds until the light turns off (Fig 4). Depending upon your
individual usage (environment and hours used), you may need to check and replace the filters more or less
frequently. If the True-HEPA filters are replaced before the filter monitor light turns on, the filter monitor
should be reset at the same time.
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.

You can purchase Honeywell replacement True-HEPA filter
for your air purifier at the store where you
purchased your air purifier or they can be ordered directly from Kaz, the maker of Honeywell air purifiers at

MAINTAINING YOUR STAGE 1 ODOR-ABSORBING PARTICLE PRE-FILTER
The stage 1 odor absorbing particle pre-filter not only helps reduce odors, but also helps capture large
airborne particles that enter the rear 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
replacement filter, also available where the True-HEPA filters are sold and

CLEANINGANDSTORAGE
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:
• Remove the True-HEPA Filters from the unit.
• Wrap the True-HEPA Filters in an air tight plastic bag.
• Remove the Odor Absorbing Pre-filters and place them 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?
For best results, you should operate your Air Purifier 24 hours a day. This unit will be more effective
when doors and windows are closed.
Can I wash any of the filters in my air cleaner?
No. Washing either filter will ruin it.
ACCESSORIES AND REPLACEMENT FILTERS
If you would like your air purifier to remain effective at reducing household odors, and to operate most
effectively, you should continue to replace the odor absorbing pre-filters. This pre-filter is available as the
