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.

Specications

* Prestanda: Certified ratings are based on US version models (120VAC, 60Hz) with particle filter.
Ratings may be affected by use of SmokeStop™ filter.

** CADR: The CADR indicates how much filtered air is delivered (airflow) by the air purifier and how well
the system removes tobacco smoke, dust and pollen pollutants from the air (efficiency). Tests are per
formed in accordance with ANSI/AHAM AC-1. The maximum possible CADR ratings according to this
standard are: Tobacco smoke: 450 cfm/Dust: 400 cfm/Pollen: 450 cfm.

*** ACH: Air changes per hour are calculated on the recommended room size, assuming 8 ft (2.4 m)
ceilings. For smaller rooms the air changes per hour will increase.
