IMPORTANT! Use only genuine Blueair filters to ensure proper function of your
unit and to qualify for full warranty coverage.

Technology data sheet for more information)
Particle lters
• Particle filters remove dust, pollen, bacteria, pet dander,
mold spores and other airborne particles.
• The particle filter is made of polypropylene, which help
mechanically filter out airborne particles.
• To maximize filter effectiveness, particles are negatively
charged by the Blueair unit before reaching the filters.
SmokestopTM lters
• SmokestopTM filters use activated carbon to remove
gaseous pollutants such as cigarette and cigar smoke
or other VOCs (volatile organic compounds, including
household paints and other chemicals).
• Adding activated carbon to a filter may affect airflow and
CADR.
• You may also notice a slight odor from the carbon when
the filter is first used; this will quickly dissipate.
Filter Subscription Program
We offer a convenient Filter Subscription Program in some countries. Contact your
local dealer or Blueair to find out whether the program is available to you.
