When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:
1.Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2.To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
3.If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped: Remove plastic bag before use.
4.Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire hazard, NEVER put the cord under rugs, near heat registers, radiators, stoves, or heaters.
5.To protect against electrical hazards, DO NOT immerse in water or other liquids. Do not use near water.
6.Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children, or disabled persons.
7.Always unplug the air purifier before moving it, changing the filters, cleaning, or whenever the air purifier is not in use. Be sure to pull by the plug and not the cord.
8.NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
9.DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, if motor fan fails to rotate, after the appliance malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to manufacturer for examination, electrical or mechanical adjustment, or repair.
10.Use appliance only for intended household use as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause hazards.
11.DO NOT use outdoors.
12.Never block the air openings, or place on soft surface, such as bed or sofa, as this could cause the unit to tip over thus blocking the air intake opening.
13.Keep unit away from heated surfaces and open flames.
14.DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void the warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed by qualified personnel only.
15.WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT use this air purifier with any solid-state speed control device.
16.DO NOT place anything on top of the unit.
PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations on your purchase of an air purifier. Your air purifier has an attractive stylish design. Its versatility and quiet operation make this unit perfect for both the home and the office.
CORD AND PLUG INSTALLATION SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. 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 rating of the air purifier. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or table-top where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
IONIZER
Your air purifier has an independently controlled ionizer, which, when turned on, releases negative ions into outgoing filtered air. Ions are tiny particles that carry a positive or negative charge. These ions exist naturally around us, in the air, water, and ground. Both positive and negative ions are colorless, odorless, 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 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 functional life expectancy and is able to capture less of the charged particles.
You may also note after extended use, that dust has collected around the grills or front panel. This is from the ionization affect caused by the negative ions exiting from the air outlet. This is additional evidence of the air cleaning effectiveness of negative ions. The dust can be easily removed with a clean, damp cloth or soft brush.
Finally, using your ionizer may result in an occasional popping or cracking sound. This is a normal sound, generally caused by a small build-up of ions that, when discharged, cause the popping or cracking sound.
NOTE: It is important to replace the multi-stage filter at the recommended intervals.
Using the ionizer in conjunction with dirty filters may result in dirty particles exiting the air purifier and being attracted to walls, carpets, furniture, or other household objects. These dirty particles may prove very difficult to remove. Homes with excessive amounts of pet dander, dust, or smoke may decrease the life expectancy of the multi-stage filter system and may interfere with the ionization process.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.When removing the air purifier from the packing case, visually check for shipping damage. Please contact your dealer immediately if the unit bears any sign of damage.
2.Keep shipping carton and packing for use in the unlikely event that your unit needs servicing. If this unit is shipped without the original packaging, damage could occur and void the warranty.
3.Your air purifier comes to you ready for use, as the multi-stage filter cartridge has been installed in the unit.
PLEASE FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT FOLLOW BEFORE CONNECTING THE UNIT TO A POWER SOURCE.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Remove your new air purifier from its protective plastic bag.
2.Choose a suitable location, tabletop or shelf ensuring that both the air intake and exit are unobstructed. Remember, air enters the rear of the unit and exits from the front.
3.Turn the Fan Control Switch (F) to provide the desired airflow:
Off ( O )
Low ( I ) - for continuous operation
High ( II ) - for maximum air cleaning when high levels of air pollution are present
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Turn off and unplug unit before cleaning.
PLASTIC HOUSING – A soft damp cloth and non-abrasive cleaner may be used to remove any excessive dirt or fingerprints. Treated like any other quality appliance, your unit will retain its attractive appearance for many years.
Filter - Do not wash the multi-stage filter cartridge. This is a disposable item (see “Changing The Filter” section).
CHANGING THE FILTER
To keep your air purifier operating at its peak efficiency, the multi-stage filter cartridge should be replaced on a regular basis. While the length of time between filter changes will vary based on the amount of use and the conditions in which the unit is run, it will be approximately every three months. To change the filter, use the following steps.
1. | Looking at the back of the unit, notice the unit’s Filter |
| Locking Tab (D) and a Filter Pull Tab (E) on the filter. |
| Gently pull up on the Filter Locking Tab (D) while pulling |
| outward on the Filter Pull Tab (E). The filter should pull |
| away from the unit. |
2. | Discard the used filter; gently wipe the Inlet Grill (B) |
| with a small soft brush or cloth taking care not to |
| damage the foam gasket. |
3. | Remove the replacement filter from its packaging and |
| its sealed bag. Mark on the "Replacement Filter" sticker |
| the date on which the filter should likely be replaced. |
| This date should be approximately three months from |
| date of installation. |
4. | Install the filter with the Filter Pull Tab (E) located at the |
| top and facing outward (see Figure 1) and introducing |
| the bottom of the filter into the filter cavity. The filter |
| will be resting against the sealing foam and on the |
| Lower Filter Supports (C). |
TROUBLESHOOTING
