Operating Instructions

The Honeywell True HEPA Air Purifier features a simple control panel for ease of use.

4. Resetting Filter Indicators: After cleaning or replacing a filter, press and hold the corresponding "Reset" button for approximately 5 seconds until the indicator light turns off.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your air purifier.
