To select any of the options below, simply press the corresponding button, and an arrow will appear next to the button indicating which option has been selected. To cancel a selection, simply press the button again.
Constant Cleaning:
This option will provide the maximum amount of air cleaning available. The air cleaner will be active for 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Automatic (30 min./hr):
The air cleaner will run a minimum of 30 minutes every hour. The Air Cleaner Conrol will monitor the amount of time your heating and cooling system runs; if 30 minutes is not reached the Air Cleaner Control will automatically turn on the air cleaner. This will maximize the amount of air cleaning while minimizing energy consumption.
Event Clean (3 hour cycle):
When selected, the air cleaner will run for 3 hours continuously and then turn off. This option only cleans the air when needed; an example would be after vacuuming.
Allergies (24 hour cycle):
When seasonal allergies spike and outside air quality is at its worst, choose this option to run your air cleaner continuously for 24 hours then turn off.
