How your Honeywell HPA300 Air Purifier works

The Honeywell HPA300 air purifier incorporates a 2-stage cleaning system to help clean the air that passes through the filters in the unit.

Stage 1: Odor reducing pre-filter
Stage 2: True HEPA filter that captures particles as small as 0.3 microns or larger

Honeywell HPA300: Setup

Select a firm, level and flat function
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 contaminants. 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 all or furniture
Ensure no grilles are blocked

Honeywell HPA300: Install True HEPA filter and Odor Reducing Pre-filter

The True HEPA Filters and Odor Reducing Pre-filter are supplied within the air purifier. New air purifiers have their filters wrapped to ensure purity, and are labeled to help identify the proper replacement filter.

Before using your new HPA300 air purifier you must remove the wrappers covering the filters and pre-filter. Make sure the air purifier is OFF and unplugged. Press the two hand symbols on the front grille to release it from the unit and pull the grille toward you to remove it. Grasp the sides of the filter frame near its top end and pull outward. Repeat for the second filter (HEPA filter)
Remove protective wrap from the filters (including the pre-filter) that have been supplied with your HPA300 air purifier
Place the HEPA filter into the air purifier housing. Ensure that the removal "pull" tabs are facing outward (this will facilitate filter removal later). Place the Pre-filter on top of the HEPA filter. Tuck the edges of the pre-filter into the tabs that are located around the edges of where the HEPA filter is inserted. This will hold the pre-filter securely in place.
Replace the front grille by placing the tabs on the bottom of the grille into the slot on the unit. Gently push the top of the grille into place by pressing on the hand symbols to secure in place

Honeywell HPA 300: Energy Star

This product earned the ENERGY STAR rating by meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US EPA. The US EPA does not endorse any manufacturer claims of healthier indoor air from the use of this product.

Portable air purifiers are more effective in rooms where all doors and windows are closed. In general, it is recommended that you run your air purifier while you are at home to clean the air.

Honeywell HPA300: Operation

General Operation

Once the filters have been unwrapped and replaced in the unit, ensure the air purifier's control knob is turned to the OFF position and plug the power cord into a working electrical outlet
Select the desired cleaning level by simply TAPPING the power symbol to toggle through the setting options. A blue LED light will illuminate the selected setting: Germ, General Clean or Allergen
TAP POWER for on/off & cleaning level selection
ALLERGEN optimizes for allergen capturing performance during Allergen season
General Clean for general, everyday air cleaning
Germ optimizes germ capturing performance. Use during cold & flu season
TAP TURBO for power cleaning and fast odor reduction
The Turbo setting operates the unit at the highest speed. This setting will maximize the unit's ability to help reduce odors and will help clean the air quickly. To select the Turbo setting, the unit must already be running at one of the 3 cleaning settings. TAP the Turbo Icon. The Turbo LED will illuminate. TAPPING the Turbo Icon again will return the air purifier to the previous cleaning setting. To Shut OFF, tap the Power symbol until the air purifier shuts off.

Using the Timer Option

The Timer Option allows you to select how long the air purifier will run before it automatically shuts off. There are three pre-set run times: 2,4 and 8 hours. Do not use this option if you want the unit to run continuously.

To set the unit for Automatic Shut OFf, TAP the Auto-off Timer icon
Continue to TAP to toggle through to the desired time setting
An LED light will illuminate to indicate the selected run time
The unit will automatically shut off after the indicated run time

Using the Dimmer Option

The dimmer option allows you to adjust the brightness of the LED displays on the control panel. You may wish to adjust the brightness depending on the room where the unit is placed. The unit always turns on with the brightness on HIGH.

To adjust brightness

TAP the Dimmer icon once to dim the lights to LOW
TAP the Dimmer icon twice and it will shut the lights OFF. (The air purifier will not shut off)
TAPPING the Dimmer icon a third time will return the brightness to HIGH

Honeywell HPA300: Electronic Filter Change Reminder

The HPA300 has two electronic filter checks to remind you when to check and replace the True-HEPA filters and the odor reducing pre-filters based on the air cleaner's hours of use.

When the True HEPA filter and/or the pre-filter need to be replaced, the "Check Filter" or "Check Pre-Filter" light will illuminate.

You should periodically check these filters. Depending on operating conditions, the True-HEPA filters should be replaced every 12 months, and the Odor reducing Pre-Filter every 3 months, especially if there have been heavy odors and particles in teh home.

To RESET Either Electronic Filter Check:

After you have replaced the filter, the "Check Filter" or "Check Pre-Filter" light will remain on until it is reset. With the unit powered on, press the lighted button and hold for approximately 2 seconds until the light turns off. The electronic filter check is now reset. Depending on individual usage (environment and hours used), you may need to replace filters more or less frequently.

NOTE: If you change the Pre-Filter or Filter before the Electronic Filter Check Lights are illuminated, it is possible to re-set the light indicators. With the unit plugged in, but NOT powered on, press and hold each button individually for at least 5 seconds. This will illuminate the indicator light. After the light turns on, individually press and hold the "Check Filter" or "Check Pre-Filter" button until each light goes off. At this point, the filter indicator will be re-set to its original "clean" status.

These cleaning intervals are intended as guidelines only. Performance of any filter media is dependent upon the concentration of contaminants going through the system. High concentrations of contaminants 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.

Honeywell HPA300: Cleaning and Storage

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 that you

Remove the True-HEPA Filters from the unit
Wrap the True-HEPA Filters in an air tight plastic bag
Remove the Odor reducing Pre-filter and place it in an air tight plastic bag
