To help prevent particles from attracting to surfaces throughout your home:

•You may want to run the ionizer less often.

•Check the condition of the filter(s) more frequently.

CAUTION: The ionizer in this appliance produces less ozone than the UL* established limits of 50ppb. However, in high concentrations, ozone can be harmful to birds and small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we suggest using the ionizer in well ventilated areas with the fan on.

IMPORTANT: Always clean the PERMAtech® filter at the recommended intervals (See CLEANING THE PERMAtech® FILTER). Using the ionizer with dirty filters may result in dirty particles exiting the air purifier and attracting to walls, carpets, furniture, or other household objects. These dirty particles may prove difficult to remove.

HEPA-TYPE PERMAtech® FILTER

The PERMAtech® filter allows easy maintenance and eliminates the hassle of filter replacement. HEPA-type (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are designed to remove up to 99% of airborne pollutants, at 2 microns or larger, from the air that passes through them. These include tobacco smoke, household dust, pet dander and pollen.

FILTER INDICATOR

The filter indicator light eliminates guesswork by letting you know when it is time to clean the filters.

TIMER

The timer allows you to run the air cleaner at your convenience, for up to 8 hours, and automatically turns the power off when time is up, to help reduce energy costs.

HIGH /MEDIUM, AND LOW SPEED SETTINGS

For optimum air filtration, operate your Bionaire® Air Cleaner continuously on the HI setting. Its rugged motor has been designed to give many years of use. For quieter operation (such as in a bedroom), select LOW setting.
