							When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
and injury to persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before operating the air purifier.
2. Place air purifier where it is not easily knocked over by persons in the household.
3. Always turn the air purifier to the OFFposition and unplug from the wall outlet when
not in use.
4. To disconnect the air purifier, first turn control to the OFFposition, grip the plug and
pull it from the wall outlet. Never pull by the cord.
5. Do not use any product with a damaged cord or plug or if product malfunctions, is
dropped or damaged in any manner. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
6. Do not use air purifier outdoors.
7. Never use air purifier unless it is fully assembled.
8. Do not run power cord under carpets, and do not cover with throw rugs. Arrange
cord such that it will not be tripped over.
9. Do not use air purifier where combustible gases or vapors are present.
10. Do not expose the air purifier to rain, or use near water, in a bathroom, laundry area
or other damp location.
11. The air purifier must be used in its upright position.
12. Do not allow foreign objects to enter ventilation or exhaust opening as this may
cause electric shock or damage to the air purifier. Do not block air outlets or
intakes.
13. Locate air purifier near the outlet and avoid using an extension cord.
14. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way in a polarized outlet. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. DO NOTattempt 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

							We recommend that you operate your Honeywellair 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.
Your Honeywellair
purifier has five basic
components: the
powerhead assembly
(with controls and
motor), the carbon
pre-filter, the HEPA
filter, the base
assembly, and the
locking mechanism.
Base Assembly Carbon Pre-filter

Locking Mechanism Powerhead Assembly
True 99.97% HEPA Air Purifier with Germ Reduction
This air purifier model continually helps clean the air and helps reduce airborne bacteria,
germs and mold spores by drawing air through the HEPA filter which traps and collects
these particulates.  In a test lab, the air purifiers were tested for reducing airborne
pathogens that passed through the filter, and results indicated a bacterial reduction up
to 100% with a mean reduction of 99.3%.
For Best Performance
Germ Reduction
Construction
• 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.
•Locate pre-filter in the box and install before initial operation. Refer to
“Removing/Changing the Filters” section for proper installation.

							• 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 and the Power Knob is turned to the OFF position.
• Allow the unit to operate for a few seconds at turbo speed,
then leave the control knob in the turbo position for faster,
more powerful room cleaning, or move the knob to the 
sleep setting 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.

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.
Operation
Intelli-Check™Filter Indicator: 
Models 50150, 50200, 50250, 50300 Series
The air purifier model 10590, 50100 series is equipped with a Filter Maintenance
Calendar wheel which serves as a convenient reminder for you to check and replace 
the pre-filter and clean the HEPA filter based on the air purifier’s hours of use.
Upon starting your air purifier and upon every pre-filter replacement, roll the pre-filter
change calendar ahead three months to indicate when the next filter replacement is
necessary. Upon starting your air purifier and upon every HEPA filter cleaning, roll the
HEPA filter calendar ahead 6 to 9 months (depending upon use) to indicate when
cleaning the HEPA filter is necessary.

							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.

							The LifeTime HEPA™Filter is vacuum-able and should be cleaned regularly for optimum
performance.
To Clean the 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.5). 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).
• For models 10590 and 50100, roll the HEPA Clean Calendar forward 6 months.

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. Clean the HEPA Filter.
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 the filters?
No. Washing the filters will destroy them.
