AIR CLEANER SAFETY
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons. These precautions include:
• Read all instructions before using the appliance. |
• To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly |
into a 120V AC electrical outlet. |
• If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped: Remove |
plastic bag before use. |
• 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. |
• To protect against electrical hazards, DO NOT immerse |
the appliance in water or other liquids. Do not use near |
water. |
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is |
used by or near children, or disabled persons. |
• Always unplug the air cleaner before moving or cleaning |
the unit, opening the grill, changing the filters and |
whenever the unit is not in use. To disconnect the unit, be |
sure to pull the plug and not the cord. |
• NEVER drop or insert any objects into the openings of |
the unit. |
• DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord |
or plug. If the motor fan fails to operate or the unit has |
been dropped or damaged in any manner, return the |
appliance to manufacturer for examination and/or repair. |
•NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass cleaner, furniture polish, paint thinner or other household solvents to clean any part of the air cleaner.
•Always turn the appliance off before unplugging it.
•The ionizer may cause a static charge to build up on the air outlet grill. A static charge may be felt if the unit is not properly grounded. To avoid a static charge, plug the unit's
•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.
•This appliance should only be used in a room with temperatures between 40° F and 110° F.

PLUG SAFETY
CORD SAFETY
•The length of cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce tangling or tripping hazards.
•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 electrical rating of the air cleaner (see rating label marked on product).
•Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so it does not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
FEATURES
GET TO KNOW YOUR AIR CLEANER
Your Bionaire® air cleaner features a Permanent
•Permanent filters can be vacuumed every few months for easy cleaning.
•Washable
•Optional ionizer naturally improves performance and helps freshen the air.
•Slim tower design allows placement in almost any area of the room.
•Remote control allows convenient operation from anywhere in the room.
•This is caused by negative ions exiting the air outlet, evidence of the ionizer’s air cleaning effectiveness.
•You can remove the dust with a soft brush or clean, damp cloth.
Larger particles may be attracted to positively charged surfaces throughout the home, like walls or floors.
•This may occur more frequently when the filter gets dirty and unable to capture as many charged particles. Check the condition of filters periodically and clean them at recommended intervals to ensure optimal performance (see CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE for more information).
•Excessive amounts of pet dander, dust, or smoke may decrease the life expectancy of the filter(s) and interfere with the ionization process.
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.
HIGH, MEDIUM, AND LOW SPEED SETTINGS
For optimum air filtration, operate your Bionaire® air cleaner continuously on the HIGH setting. Its rugged motor has been designed to give many years of use. For quieter operation (such as in a bedroom), select LOW setting.
BEFORE USE
1.Carefully unpack your air cleaner.
2.Select a firm, level surface with no obstructions to the air inlets or outlets.
3.If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped, remove plastic bag before use and place filters into unit.
BEFORE USING THE REMOTE CONTROL:
Your remote control requires (2) AAA batteries for operation.
Insert batteries and replace cover.
•Do NOT mix old and new, alkaline, standard (carbon- zinc) or rechargeable
•For functions available on your remote control, see
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.

• 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 or |
sold by Jarden Consumer Solutions may cause hazards. |
IONIZER
This appliance has an optional ionizer feature, which, when turned on, releases negative ions into outgoing filtered air to help the air purification process.
What are ions?
The PERMAtech® filter allows easy maintenance and eliminates the hassle of filter replacement.

Ions are tiny particles that carry a positive or negative charge. They exist naturally around us: in the air, water, and ground. Both positive and negative ions are colorless, odorless and harmless.
How does the ionizer work?
Negative ions help air purification 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. The larger particles are then more easily captured by the filter system.
Important notes:
Your ionizer may produce an occasional popping or cracking sound. This is normal and occurs when a small buildup of ions is discharged. After extended use, you may notice dust around the grills or front panel.
larger, from the air that passes through them. These pollutants include tobacco smoke, household dust, pet dander and pollen.
