Thank you for choosing a Bionaire
®
air cleaner. To ensure the best performance from your air cleaner, please read and save the following instructions.
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 the 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 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 removed with a clean, damp cloth or soft brush.
NOTE: It is important to clean the PERMAtech™ 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.
Galileo®Wireless Air Quality Center – Multifunctional
providing an indoor air quality display, auto mode, program­mable controls, remote operation of air cleaner as well as a clock and alarm mode.
Air Quality Sensor Uses an advanced infrared optical
system to constantly detect tiny airborne particles in the air around the Galileo
®
Wireless Air Quality Center, such as pollen and dust. It displays the air quality conditions using a series of LED lights glowing red when high levels of particles are pres­ent and green when air quality is improved.
Advanced Communication Technology Radio frequency
technology sends continuous signals between air cleaner and Galileo
®
Wireless Air Quality Center.
