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:
•Read all instructions before using appliance.
•To avoid fire and shock hazard, plug the air cleaner and EnviroCheckTM Wireless Air Quality Center directly into 120V AC electrical outlets.

•Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children or disabled persons.
•Always unplug the air cleaner or EnviroCheckTM Wireless Air Quality Center before moving it, opening the grill, changing the filters, cleaning the IR Lens or whenever the appliances are not in use. Be sure to pull by the plug and not the cord.

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
THIS PRODUCT IS EQUIPPED WITH A POLARIZED PLUG (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact qualified personnel to install the proper outlet.
DO NOT DEFEAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THIS POLARIZED PLUG IN ANY WAY.
The length of the cord used on this product 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 where it cannot be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
IONIZER
Your Air Cleaner 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 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 onization 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.
NOTE: It is important to replace the filter at the recommended intervals. Using the ionizer in conjunction with dirty filters may result in dirty particles exiting the air cleaner and being attracted to walls, carpets, furniture or other household objects. These dirty particles may prove very difficult to remove.
PRE-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Carefully unpack your Air Cleaner. Select a firm level place where there are no obstructions to the air inlet or filtered air outlet. A good location in a room is approximately 1 foot away from the wall, in a central location of your home.
2.Pull air inlet grill towards you by grasping the finger tabs on both sides.
3.Remove filter by gripping on both sides and pulling forward.
4.Remove protective plastic bag from the filter cartridge.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.Plug into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
2.Select the desired operating speed. Bionaire® Air Cleaners have three speed settings. You can select from HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW by moving the switch to the desired setting.
3.To release negative ions into the filtered air, move the ionizer switch to ON and the light will illuminate.
4.For optimum air filtration, it is recommended to operate the air cleaner continuously. Its rugged motor has been designed to give many years of use.
For continuous use, it’s recommended to operate the air cleaner at the MEDIUM setting. For quieter operation or use in a bedroom, select the LOW setting. When high levels of air pollution are present, select the HIGH setting to quickly circulate and filter the room air.
