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.

Operation…  
INSTALL PRE-FILTER BEFORE INITIAL OPERATION. Refer  
to “How to Install and Replace Filters” section for proper  
installation.  
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 cleaners hours of use and operating speed. This is beneficial because a filters  
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-CheckFilter 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 conditionsevery 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.
