HOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER WORKS:

This model air purifier incorporates a 4-stage cleaning system to help clean the air that passes through the filter in the unit (Fig. 1).

Stage 1: Washable Particle Pre-Filter

Stage 2: Carbon Filter

Stage 3: 99% HEPA Filter with ProTec™ antimicrobial treatment

Stage 4: Electronic Ionizer

OPERATION:

SET-UP:

•Select a firm, level and flat location. For proper airflow, locate the unit at least 3 feet (1 M) from any wall or furniture.

•When operating, large volumes of air are drawn toward the air purifier. Surrounding areas should be cleaned and/or vacuumed frequently to prevent build-up of dust and other contaminates. This may also help prolong the life of the filter. If the unit is placed on a light colored carpet, a small mat or rug should be used underneath to prevent permanent staining. This is especially important in homes with contamination from smoking or fireplaces.

INSTALL MAIN FILTER:

The Filter is supplied within the air purifier. It is wrapped to ensure purity.

•Turn-off and unplug the air purifier. While pressing on the two notches along the front grille, pull the grille towards you and remove it (See Fig. 2). Gently push down on the top filter frame and pull forward.

•Remove the protective wrap from the Filter.

•Place back into the air purifier housing and snap filter grille into place.

•Ensure the air purifier is plugged into a working electrical outlet and the Power Knob and Ionizer Knob are OFF.

•Turn the Power Knob to the High position for several minutes and then rotate the Power Knob to the desired cleaning level (I = Low, II = Medium, III = High).

It is recommended you run your air purifier 24 hours a day to ensure continuous cleaning. Portable air purifiers are more effective in rooms where all doors and windows are closed.

IONIZER FEATURE:

The Ionizer helps boost the performance of the air purifier and helps freshen the air.
