•Always unplug the air cleaner before moving it, opening the grill, changing the filters, cleaning, or whenever
the air cleaner is not in use. Be sure to pull by the plug
and not the cord.
• NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
•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.

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION: 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.
CORD AND PLUG INSTALLATION SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
The length of 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 air cleaner. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.
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 optional ionizer feature, 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 may
be attracted to positively charged surfaces throughout
the home, 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 charged
particles.
You may also note after extended use, that dust has
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.
Finally, using your ionizer may result in an occasional
popping or cracking sound. This is a normal sound,
generally caused by a small build-up of ions that, when
discharged, cause the popping or cracking sound.
NOTE: It is important to clean the HEPA-type filter at the
recommended intervals.
Using the ionizer in conjunction with dirty filters may result
in dirty particles exiting the air purifier 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 expectancy of the HEPA-type
filtration system and may interfere with the ionization
process. You may want to run the Ionizer less often and
check the condition of the HEPA-type filter(s) more frequently
in order to reduce particles from being attracted to surfaces
throughout your home as mentioned above.
PERMATECH™ FILTER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Every few weeks, check the condition of the filter.
2. After approximately 3 months of operation a Filter
Clean indicator ( ) will be shown on the Display
Screen notifying you that the filter should be cleaned
prior to further use.
3. Turn off and unplug the air cleaner.

6. To clean the
PERMAtech™ filter use
a brush attachment
with your vacuum
cleaner. Run the
attachment along the
inlet and outlet side of
the filter trying to clean
between the pleated filter
layers. (See Fig. 3)
Do not use water or
any other household
cleaners of detergents
to clean the
PERMAtech™ filter.
NOTE: Vacuuming
will restore performance of the
PERMAtech™ filter,
however, the filter
may appear stained.
This is normal and
does not affect the
performance in any
way.
7. To reinstall the
PERMAtech™ filter,
slide it back into the
underside of the housing,
with the movable tab facing the bottom rear of the air
