The Science of Clean Air
63500 Series...
The Honeywell 63500 Series air cleaner is a 3
speed air cleaner operated by moving the
speed control knob in the base from the Off ("0")
position to the high ("3") position. Allow the unit
to operate for a few seconds at high speed, then
leave the control knob in the high position for
faster, powerful room cleaning, or move the knob
to the lower setting for quieter operation. The
63500 Series will clean and recirculate the air
in a 20' x 22' room six times an hour (at high
speed).
64500 Series...
The Honeywell 64500 Series air cleaner is a 3
speed air cleaner operated by moving the speed
control knob on the base from the Off ("0")
position to the high (3") position. Allow the unit
to operate for a few seconds at high speed, then
leave the control knob in the high position for
faster, powerful room cleaning or move the knob
to the lower setting for quieter operation. The
64500 Series will clean and recirculate the air
in a 22' x 23' room six times an hour (at high
speed).

Construction...
Your Honeywell air cleaner has five
basic components: the base assembly
(with controls and motor), the lid
assembly, the protective screen, the
activated carbon prefilter, and the
HEPA filter.

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 generation by sources of contamination.
The Honeywell HEPA air cleaner is ready to begin cleaning air as soon as it is
removed from the carton and plugged in. Because it circulates air in a 360 degree
pattern around the air cleaner, 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 three feet in all directions.

Filter Replacement...
With proper maintenance, your Honeywell air cleaner is designed to provide years of
high efficiency air cleaning.Your Honeywell air cleaner contains two filters: one activated
carbon prefilter and one primary HEPA filter.
The activated carbon prefilter helps capture large airborne particles, and helps remove
odors. The prefilter should be replaced every 3 months.You may need to replace the
prefilter more often if the unit is used in a smoking environment or if unpleasant
odors persist.
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 conditions–every 3 years for light usage,. 2 years for
normal usage and 1 year for heavy usage.
Our recommendations regarding filter replacement intervals are intended as guidelines
only and are based upon reasonable filter life expectancy in homes with normal levels of
particle generation. If there are sources of large amounts of particle generation (such as
woodworking or heavy smoking) the useful life of the activated carbon prefilter and HEPA
filter in your air cleaner may be reduced .
Whenever the combined air resistance of the activated carbon filter and primary HEPA
filter becomes excessive due to the amount of contaminants they have captured, the air
cleaner will begin to audibly pulsate. Instead of a steady stream of air, rapid "puffs" of air
may be felt at the outlet slot. When this occurs, one of two conditions exists:
1. The activated carbon prefilter is clogged and must be replaced.
2. If the unit continues to pulsate after a new prefilter is installed,
the useful life of the HEPA filter has been reached and it must be replaced.
Important...
Replace the activated carbon prefilter at least every 3 months.The activated
carbon prefilter is the element of your air cleaner that helps remove odors and
gaseous compounds. Under normal household conditions the odor adsorption
capability will be used up in about 3 months.
If there are heavy concentrations of odors, smoke, or gases (such as tobacco smoke) in
the home, you may need to change the activated carbon prefilter more often.
We DO NOT recommend operating the air cleaner without the activated carbon prefilter
because the primary HEPA filter does NOT absorb odors or gaseous compounds. In fact,
the HEPA filter may become contaminated by these odors and begin to omit the odor
captured.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to wash either the activated carbon prefilter or the HEPA filter.
They are not washable and washing will damage the filters.
How to Change the Filters...
CAUTION: DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING
The only two parts requiring any service are the activated carbon
prefilter and the HEPA filter. No tools are needed. To change either
filter, disassemble the unit as shown.
1. Loosen the carrying handle by turning it counterclockwise and lift
lid and protective screen from unit.
2. Lift HEPA filter and activated carbon Prefilter from the base.
3. Remove the two plastic clips from the top and bottom of the acti-
vated carbon prefilter and remove it from the HEPA filter cartridge.
4. Wrap the new activated carbon prefilter around the HEPA filter
cartridge and secure with plastic clips.
Reassemble your Honeywell air cleaner as described below:
1. Place the assembled HEPA filter and the activated carbon prefilter
on the base.
2. Replace the lid and protective screen.
3. Reattach the carrying handle and turn it clockwise until securely
tightened.
If the Air Cleaner does not operate...
•
•
•
Check to make sure that the power cord is correctly connected to the outlet.
Test the outlet with another appliance or lamp.
Check the fuse or circuit breaker. The outlet may be overloaded if other appli-
ances are also in use. Determine and correct the cause of the overload.
•
•
The thermal overload protection device on the air cleaner's motor may have
engaged. Turn the air cleaner's motor control to OFF and wait 30 to 45 minutes.
Then, plug it in and turn ON again.
If none of the above procedures restore operation, return your unit to the store or if
the store's return policy does not allow, return the complete unit per the instructions
in the service section of this owner's guide. Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.
Storage...
If you store your Honeywell HEPA air cleaner for more than 30 days,
we recommend:
•
•
•
Remove both the primary HEPA filter and the activated carbon prefilter from the unit.
Discard the prefilter.
Wrap 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 prefilter, and replace both filters in the air cleaner.
(See "How to change the Filters..." section for proper installation.)
Important Safety Instructions...
Please read all instructions before using this product. Save these instructions for easy
reference.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce
breakage, risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons including the following:
1. Read all instructions before operating the air cleaner.
2. Place air cleaner where it is not easily knocked over by persons in the
household.
3. Always unplug when not in use.
4. 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.
5. Do not use air cleaner outdoors.
6. Never use air cleaner unless it is fully assembled.
7. Do not run power cord under carpets & do not cover with throw rugs. Arrange
cord such that it will not be tripped over.
8. Do not use air cleaner where combustible gases or vapors are present.
9. Do not operate the air cleaner near a humidifier or in a bathroom, laundry area or
other damp location.
10. To disconnect the air cleaner, first turn speed control to OFF position and remove
plug from the outlet.
11. The air cleaner 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 cleaner. Do not block air outlets
or intakes.
13. Locate air cleaner near power outlet and avoid using an extension cord.
14. The air cleaner has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce risk of shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. 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. Do not sit, stand or place heavy objects on the air cleaner.
