PRODUCT FEATURES
Filter Life Indicator
Your air purifier has an indicator light that illuminates when its time to change the filters.
Ioniser
Your Bionaire™ Air Purifier has an independently controlled ioniser, which when turned on, releases negative ions into the outgoing filtered air. Ions are tiny particles that carry either a positive or negative charge. These ions exist naturally all around us in the air, water and ground. Both positive and negative ions are colourless, odourless and completely harmless.
Negative ions help the air purification process 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 that are then more readily captured by the filter system, or they may be attracted to positively charged surfaces like walls or floors.
You may also note, after extended use, that dust may have collected around the grills or front panel.
This is from the ionisation effect caused by the negative ions exiting from the air outlet.This dust does not come from the air output, but is drawn out of the uncleaned air going past the air outlet.
This is additional evidence of the air cleaning effectiveness of negative ions. The dust can be easily removed with a clean, dampened cloth or soft brush.
NOTE: it is important to change the HEPA filter at recommended intervals. Using the ioniser in conjunction with dirty filters may result in dirty
particles exiting the air purifier and being attracted to walls, carpets, furniture and other household objects. These dirty particles may prove very difficult to remove.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.After removing the unit from the box, remove the plastic covering from the unit.
2.Select a firm level place where there are no obstructions to the air inlet (front grill) or filtered air outlet.
3.Remove the inlet grill by pulling the grill towards you.
4.Remove both HEPA filters by gripping on both sides and pulling forward.
5.Remove protective plastic bag from each filter cartridge. The filter clip can only be attached to the hang tabs on the filter one way (see fig 3). The filter clip should easily slide onto the filter hang tabs. Do not use force whilst attaching the filter clip to the filter. Align the clip on the HEPA filter with the rails on the inside of the unit.
NOTE: The pleated material and rubber gasket should be facing towards the unit when applied.
6.Replace the inlet grill by sliding back on to the unit. Make sure that it snaps securely into position (the grill only goes on one way).
NOTE: Do not point outlet towards wall.
