HOW THE AIR PURIFIER WORKS
Dirty, dust laden air is drawn through the front of the air purifier and through the multi-stage filtration system.
1.The carbon filter will help clear odours making the air cleaner and fresher.
2.The HEPA filter entraps 99% of all smaller visible and non-visible particles down to 0.3 microns in size.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Quiet operation -
Your air purifier has been designed to be unobtrusive around the home and to be very quiet. The motor provides quiet performance and durability necessary for continuous use.
Dual position -
The unit can be placed either upright or on its side, flush against the wall. When positioning the unit be sure that the air inlet grill, filters and air outlet grill are not blocked, to ensure maximum air flow.
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.
Please 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.
