I want to change filters. please help - Honeywell Enviracaire 13520 Air Purifier

Ignore the lights. Wash the outer foam filter every two months. As long as air is going through the inner filter does not need to be changed. Blow the inner filter out FROM THE INSIDE with your vacuum cleaner. (blow air the opposite direction of air flow to get the nasty stuff off.)

Hello, this is Ava with Think Crucial.

It looks like you may need to change your filters. It is advisable to change filters every 3-6 months for optimal use. When replacing your filters, make sure that the unit is turned off and unplugged from the power. Once filters are replaced, turn on your unit then press and hold the filter check indicator button for 3 seconds. The indicator light will blink 3 times and turn off, and reset the filter change timer.

Call the manufacture and tell them it is defective and to please replace it.

"After replacing the HEPA filters, RESET the Filter Life Monitor by inserting a small object (such as a pin or paper clip) into the hole below the red filter change light marked RESET and holding it down for 2-3 seconds." This came straight out of the Owner's Guide. Hope it helps!

According to the Owners Manual, here's what you need to do,

1.Turn the air cleaner OFF and unplug it from the power outlet.

2. Carefully lay the unit down on a flat surface with the Front Grille facing up.

3. Gently push in on Release Buttons on both sides of the unit, pull Front Grille out and away.

4. Remove and discard used HEPA filter.

5. Remove any plastic protective wrapping and from the new HEPA filter.

6. Set new HEPA filter into the air cleaner.

7. Install the Front Grille by engaging its tabs into the bottom slots on the unit. Then swing grille up and gently push in top to snap into place.

8.Turn the Air Cleaner upright and plug it into an outlet for
operation.

Hope this helped you. Please let me know. Thanks

Hello,

So after you have replaced the V5 Cell Filter in the IQ Air, here are the steps you'll need to follow in order to reset the filter indicators:

• At the main menu on the control panel, push the menu button 7 times until you get to the screen that says Replace Filter.
• At the Replace Filter screen, press and hold the Enter Key until the cursor appears, and is flashing.
• Press the UP arrow button on the keypad until you get to the V5 Cell Filter.
• At the V5 Cell Filter screen press the Enter Key to confirm your filter reset selection. This will turn the corresponding filter LED to a flashing red light. IQAir requires that your reconfirm the filter selection to prevent inadvertently resetting the wrong filter. If you chose the wrong filter, press the menu key after pressing the enter the first time to disregard the filter change command.
  
• To confirm the filter reset selection, press enter a second time, which will reset the filter life, and reset the filter hours.

You can repeat these instructions for the other two filters on your machine when it's time. Here's a link to the product manual for your IQ Air Health Pro Plus which will give you the same instructions, as well as other maintenance instructions.

IF RESET DOES NOT WORK DON'T WORRY
AS LONG AS YOU REMEMBER TO CHANGE
THE FILTER. CHARCOAL WHEN DIRTY AND
HEPA ONCE A YEAR OR SO.

Turn off the unit
Open the filter cover
On the top right corner, there is a small hole
Push a paper clip into this and the change filter light will stop blinking.

Hope this helps!

You have to pull out both filters top and bottom at once. Then hold down the on/off button for 5 seconds.

Noggin's solution is correct.  My copy of the BAP825 manual says to poke a paper clip into "the hole marked RESET."  There is no hole marked 'reset' on the air cleaner.  Thanks, Noggin!
