Understanding the Filter Light
The filter light on your Honeywell HPA300 air purifier is designed to let you know when it’s time to replace the filter. This light will illuminate when the filter has reached the end of its lifespan, typically after about 3-6 months of use, depending on your air quality and usage. But sometimes, the filter light may remain on even after you’ve replaced the filter, which can be frustrating. This is where the filter light reset process comes in handy.
Preparing to Reset the Filter Light
Before you begin the reset process, make sure you have the following items ready:
- Your Honeywell HPA300 air purifier
- A replacement filter (if you haven’t already installed one)
- A flat-head screwdriver or a pen (for pressing the reset button)
Step-by-Step Guide to Resetting the Filter Light
Step 1: Replace the Filter
Before you can reset the filter light, you’ll need to replace the old filter with a new one. Follow the instructions in your Honeywell HPA300 user manual to properly remove and install the new filter.
Step 2: Locate the Reset Button
On the control panel of your Honeywell HPA300 air purifier, you’ll find a small button labeled “Reset.” This is the button you’ll need to press to reset the filter light.
Step 3: Press and Hold the Reset Button
Using a flat-head screwdriver or the end of a pen, press and hold the reset button for about 3-5 seconds. You may hear a beep or see the filter light blink, indicating that the reset process has been successful.
Step 4: Verify the Reset
After releasing the reset button, the filter light should turn off, indicating that the reset was successful. If the light is still on, repeat the reset process until the light goes off.</
