adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.

This plug will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

This product is for use on 120 volts. DO NOT ALTER THE PLUG IN ANY WAY.

CORD SAFETY

•The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce tangling or tripping hazards.

•If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the air cleaner (see rating label marked on product).

•Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

FEATURES

GET TO KNOW YOUR AIR CLEANER

Your Bionarie® air cleaner features a Permanent HEPA-Type filter that removes up to 99% of airborne dust and pollen as small as 2 microns and helps reduce smoke, mold spores and pet dander from the air passing through the filter.

•Permanent filters can be vacuumed every few months for easy cleaning.

•Washable pre-filter captures larger particles and extends the permanent filter’s cleaning cycle.

•Optional ionizer naturally improves performance and helps freshen the air.

•Slim tower design allows placement in almost any area of the room.

AIR QUALITY PARTICLE SENSOR

Your Bionaire® air cleaner includes a particle sensor that measures indoor air quality. When set to auto mode, it

automatically adjusts the fan speed to cycle between low, medium and high speed to provide optimum filtration based on air particulate concentration. It also helps conserve energy by only operating the fan at higher speeds when needed.

IONIZER

This appliance has an optional ionizer feature which, when turned on, releases negative ions into outgoing filtered air to help the air purification process.

What Are Ions?

Ions are tiny particles that carry a positive or negative charge. They exist naturally around us: in the air, water, and ground. Both positive and negative ions are colorless, odorless, and completely harmless.

How Does The Ionizer Work?

Negative ions help air purification by attaching themselves to very small airborne particles in the room. These particles take on a negative charge and may join with positively charged particles such as dust, pollen, smoke, and pet dander to form larger particles. The larger particles are then more easily captured by the filter system.

Important Notes:

Your ionizer may produce an occasional popping or cracking sound. This is normal and occurs when a small buildup of ions is discharged.

After extended use, you may notice dust around the grills or front panel.

•This is caused by negative ions exiting the air outlet, evidence of the ionizer’s air cleaning effectiveness.

•You can remove the dust with a soft brush or clean, damp cloth.

Larger particles may be attracted to positively charged surfaces throughout the home, like walls or floors.

•This may occur more frequently when the filter is nearing the end of its useful product life and unable to capture as many charged particles.

•Excessive amounts of pet dander, dust, or smoke may decrease the life expectancy of the filter(s) and interfere with the ionization process.
