Settings*
Plug the cable into a grounded wall outlet and turn on your Blueair unit.
The blue light-emitting diode indicates that the unit is working. Set the
control knob to maximum speed, which is recommended for fast initial
cleaning, daytime use, or very polluted air. After a few minutes, adjust the
control to the desired speed. Minimum speed is generally recommended
for nighttime use.
Care and maintenance
Blueair air puriers feature high quality design, materials and workmanship. To keep your unit in top condition, we recommend routine cleaning.
• Vacuum the air intake grille from the inside when you remove
the lters to replace them.
• Vacuum the small inlets with a soft brush attachment.
• Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, clean, damp cloth.
• Never clean with gasoline, chemical solvents or corrosive material
also as these agents may damage the surface.
• Do not allow foreign objects to enter the ventilation or exhaust
openings. This may cause electric shock or damage the unit.
• Do not try to repair or adjust any of the electrical or mechanical
functions on your Blueair unit yourself. Contact your local
dealer or Blueair for warranty information.
How it works
Air passes through an ion chamber
where airborne particles are
charged with negative ions.
Charged particles are drawn to the
HEPASilent™ lter surface. Puried
air, which is virtually contaminantfree is re-circulated into the room.
Getting the most from
your Blueair system
The Blueair system is easy to use. Make sure your unit is the right size
for your room, and change the lters according to recommended lter
replacement schedule. Remember that, just as air conditioners and
heaters have limits to the volume of air they can cool or heat, every air
purication system has limits to the volume of air it can clean. Follow
these common-sense guidelines.
Close your windows
You wouldn’t throw open your windows on a hot summer day and
expect your air conditioner to work efciently, because you can feel the
hot air coming in and the cool air going out. Even though you can’t see
the contaminated air coming in and the clean air going out, the same
logic applies to your air purier.
Close your doors, too
Just as you might seal off part of your house on a cold winter night to
keep your heater working more efciently, seal off the room in which
your system is working for best results. This is especially important
for people using a Blueair system to ease nighttime asthma or allergy
attacks.
Run your system 24 hours per day
For best results, run your Blueair unit 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Round-the-clock operation ensures that a continuous supply of clean,
ltered air constantly circulates throughout the room. Blueair systems
are designed for phenomenally low power usage. In fact, it costs about
the same to power a Blueair air purier as it does to power a single light
bulb, depending on the unit and the operating speed.
* For Blueair E Series units (250E, 450E, 550E, 650E), please refer to the separate sheet included with your unit for instructions on settings.

Filters
Patented HEPASilent™ technology makes the Blueair 500/600 Series
incredibly quiet. The unit comes with a complete set of three HEPASilent™
lters already installed.
Particle Filter Kit. Includes three particle lters that remove dust, pollen,
bacteria, pet dander, mold spores and other airborne particles. The
particle lter is made of polypropylene, which help mechanically lter
out airborne particles. To maximize lter effectiveness, particles are
negatively charged by the Blueair unit before reaching the lters.
Smokestop™ Filter Kit. Includes three lters with enhanced active
carbon to remove gaseous pollutants such as cigarette and cigar smoke
or other VOCs (volatile organic compounds, including household paints
and other chemicals). You may notice a slight odor from the enhanced
active carbon when the lter is rst used; this will quickly dissipate.
For optimal performance, Blueair recommends that you replace
filters every six (6) months.
We offer a convenient Filter Subscription Program in some countries.
Contact your local dealer or Blueair to nd out whether the program is
available to you.
IMPORTANT! Use only genuine Blueair lters to ensure proper function
of your unit and to qualify for full warranty coverage.
