General Safety Instructions

The Blueair Pro Series air purifier is an electrical
appliance. Please read the safety instructions
before use and take the necessar y precautions
to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury.
The Blueair Limited Warranty applies only if the
unit is used according to these instructions.
This applia nce is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the

appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance. If the supply
cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a ha zard.

Placement

Place the unit in a loc ation that allows air to circulate
freely in, out and around the unit. The minimum
acceptable distance from another object is 4˝ or
10 cm. Use only genuine Blueair filters.

Do not plac e the unit:

Directly on or against soft furnishings,
such as bedding or cur tains.

Near sources of heat, such as radiators,
replace s or ovens.

Outdoors.

Near wet areas, such as bathrooms o r
laundry rooms, whe re it may come into
contact with water.

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 filters according to recommended
filter replacement schedule. Remember that,
just as air conditioners and heaters have limits
to the volume of air they can cool or heat, every
air purification 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 efficiently, 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 purifier.

Close Your Doors

Just as you might seal off part of your house on
a cold winter night to keep your heater working
more efficiently, seal off the room in which your
system is working for best results.

Run Your System 24 hours p er 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,
filtered 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 purifie r as it does
to power a single light bulb, depending on the
unit and the operating speed.

This symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product may not be tre ated as
househol d waste. Instead it shall b e handed over to Blueair se rvice or collection point for t he recycling
of electrical and electronic e quipment. By ensuring this prod uct is disposed of cor rectly, you will help
prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health which could other­wise be caus ed by inappropriate was te handling this produc t.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a grounding type plug that has a third
(grounding) pin. This plug will only t into a grounding type power outlet. If the plug does not t into
the outlet, c ontact qualied personnel to install the p roper outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.

English Blueair Pro Serie s 8 English Blueair Pro Serie s 9

Settings

Plug the power cable firmly and completely into
the recessed power cord socket located at the
bottom of the unit and plug the other end into a
grounded wall outlet or power strip. Set the unit
to maximum speed, which is recommended for

fast initial cle aning, daytime use, or very polluted
air. After a few minutes, adjust the unit to the
desired speed. Minimum speed is generally
recommended for nighttime use.

Blueair air purifiers feature high quality design,
materials and workmanship. To keep your unit in
top condition, we recommend routine cleaning.
The appliance must be disconnected from the
supply mains before cleaning or maintenance.

Vacuum the air intake grille from the inside
when you remove the filter to replace it.
Wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, clean,
damp cloth.

Never clean with gasoline, chemical solvents
or corrosive material as these agents may
damage the surface.
Do not allow foreign objects to enter the intake

or exhaust openings. This may cause electric
shock or damage the unit.

Do not try to repai r or adjust any of the electrical

or mechanical functions on your Blueair unit
yourself. Contact your local dealer or Blueair
for warranty information.

Air passes through an ion chamber where air­borne particles are charged with negative ions.
Charged par ticles are drawn to the HEPASilent

TM

filter surface. Purified air, which is vir tually
contaminant-free, is re-circulated into the room.

Patented HEPASilentTM technology makes the
Blueair Pro Series incredibly quiet. The unit
comes with a HEPASilent

TM

filter already installed.

Particle Filter. Includes a particle filter that
removes dust, pollen, bacteria, pet dand er, mold
spores and other airborne particles. The particle
filter is made of polypropylene, which mechanically
filters out airborne particles. To maximize filter
effectiven ess, particles are negati vely charged by
the Blueair unit before reaching the filter.
SmokeSto p™ Filter. Includes a combined
particle and active carbon filter 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 air flow and CADR. You may also
notice a slight odor from the carbon when the
filter is first used; this will quickly dissipate.

Carbon+ Fi lter. An extra active carbon filter
stage that can be mounted in the Blueair Pro
Series in add ition to the main HEPASilentTM particle
filter or SmokeStop™ filter. It provides extra
protection against gaseous contaminants such
as formaldehyde, sulphur dioxide and volatile
organic compounds.

For optimal performance, Blueair
recommends that you replace filters every
six (6) mo nths of use.

We offer a convenient Filter Subscription
Program in some countries. Contact your local
dealer or Blu eair to find out whether the program
is available to you.
IMPORTANT! Use only genuine Bluea ir filters
to ensure proper function of your unit and to
qualify for full warranty coverage.
