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 appliance 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 appliance with any
16.DO NOT place anything on top of the unit.
17.Never place the unit in a pet carrier, kennel, or cage with an animal.
18.As with any appliance, make sure you locate the Fresh 'n Clean™ Odor Grabber Max™ appliance away from pets and out of the reach of children.
19.Locate the Fresh 'n Clean™ Odor Grabber Max™ appliance so that the power cord is not accessible to pets.
PLEASE READ AND SAVE THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CORD AND PLUG INSTALLATION SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSThe 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 appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or
Congratulations on your purchase of the Fresh 'n Clean™ Odor Grabber Max™ appliance. Your Fresh 'n Clean™ Odor Grabber Max™ appliance has an attractive design that can sit horizontally on a table or desk. It is quiet and safe for use around household pets and ideal for use around litter boxes, pet beds, and small animal cages.
The Fresh 'n Clean™ Odor Grabber Max™ appliance features Triple Filtration Technology, an optional ionizer, and HI (III), MEDIUM (II), and LO (I) speed settings.
The best way to reduce odors is to remove the source. Since most odors originate from pet waste, moisture, and water, it is important to keep a pet’s habitat and litter area dry and clean. This will help reduce the occurrence of odors and maximize the benefit of using the Fresh 'n Clean™ Odor Grabber Max™ appliance.
IONIZER
Your Fresh 'n Clean™ Odor Grabber Max™ appliance has an optional 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 Fresh 'n Clean™ Odor Grabber Max™ filter, or they may be attracted to positively charged surfaces 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 changed particles.
You may also note after extended use, that dust may have 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
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 unit 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 expectance of the Fresh 'n Clean™ Odor Grabber Max™ filter and may interfere with the ionization process. You may want to run the ionizer less often and/or check the condition of the Fresh 'n Clean™ Odor Grabber Max™ filter more frequently in order to reduce particles from being attracted to surfaces throughout your home, as mentioned above.
The ionizer in the Arm & Hammer® Fresh 'n Clean™ Odor Grabber Max™ appliance produces less ozone than the UL established limits of 50ppb. However, if concentrated, ozone can be harmful to birds and small pets. To prevent ozone

NOTE: Since the filter absorbs odors even when the unit is off, we recommend that you place the unit in a plastic bag when it is not being used. If you have additional filters, keep them in their protective bags until you are ready to install them in your Fresh 'n Clean™ Odor Grabber Max™ appliance.
