IMPOR
Always unplug the CX1000 when it is not in operation, while the filters or
UV light are being changed, and when cleaning the unit.
After servicing the unit, both the front and top grill assemblies must be
reinstalled in exactly the same manner as prior to removal. If either grill
is not reinstalled properly, the CX1000 will not function. This is a built- in
safety feature.
Before using the CX1000, extend the power cord and inspect for any signs
of damage. Do not use the unit if the power cord has been damaged.
Warning - This appliance is designed to be used on a flat and level surface, and may not work properly on an uneven surface. To reduce the risk
of electric shock and injury, do not place in a window. Always place the
CX1000 at least 12 inches (30 centimeters) away from heat sources such
as stoves, radiators, or heaters.
Do not move the CX1000 while it is in operation. Always unplug the unit
prior to moving it.
Do not immerse the CX1000 in water, as permanent damage will occur.

Thank you for purchasing the CX1000 Complete Air Purification System. This
unit features unique air purification technologies not found in any other air
purifier.
Only CX1000 combines these features:
A quiet, energy efficient, backward-curved motorized impeller that
moves 265 cfm of air.
An advanced electronic control system that monitors air quality, room
occupancy, air flow, and filter and UV lamp replacement time.
A six-stage filtration system with gas adsorption media that removes
toxic gas, organic hydrocarbons, exhaust fumes, formaldehyde, cleaning chemicals, low-level ozone, unpleasant odors, and paint solvents.
A hospital-grade, three-stage HEPA filter that removes allergens such
as pollen, mold fugal spores, tobacco smoke, insecticide dust, dust
mites, and particles as small as 0.3 microns.
A photo-catalytic oxidation chamber that controls the spread of air-
borne disease in the home environment. UV light kills viruses and bacteria on contact.
Photo-Catalytic Titanium Oxidation, activated by the UV light,
destroys airborne impurities too small to be filtered out. Small
amounts of residual activated oxygen and negative ions keep the air
clean and fresh, in exactly the same way sunlight and oxygen clean
the air we breathe in an outdoor environment.
FEATURES
UNPACKING THE CX1000
Before unpacking the unit, inspect the shipping container for visible damage. If you feel that you may have received the unit in a damaged condition, notify the shipper or supplier before opening the container. Remove
the unit from the box and inspect it for damage. Handle it carefully. Do
not drop it!
INSTALLING THE CX1000
CAUTION: THIS PRODUCT IS DESIGNED FOR INDOOR USE ONLY!
Place the CX1000 in a location that will not restrict air flow through
either the air inlet or the air outlet. Plug in the electric cord at the
nearest electrical wall outlet.
USING THE CX1000
1. Press POWER button to turn on the CX1000. Lights on the control
panel (figure 1) will light and the UV lamp will be on.
figure 1
2. Look into the air outlet at the top of the CX1000 to confirm that
the UV lamp is operating. There is a faint blue glow when the lamp
is on. If the lamp appears to be off, refer to UV LAMP INDICATOR
LIGHTS (page 8).
When the lamp is on, the product is ready for operation.

SELECT
ROOM SIZE
1. Determine the area of the room the CX1000 is to purify.
2. From the table below, identify the respiratory condition the unit is
to serve.
3. Use the Heavy Duty chart if you suffer
severe allergic reactions when exposed
to particulate matter (pollen, dust, dust
mites, animal dander, etc.) or airborne
chemicals (pesticides, herbicides, cleaning solutions, etc.)
4. Use the Light Duty chart if you occasion-
ally suffer from mild allergies.
5. Select the desired ROOM SIZE by pressing
the SELECT button (figure 2).

SELECT OPERATING MODE
Select the desired operating MODE by pressing the SELECT button (figure 3).
AUTO MODE -- This is the mode most com-
monly used. In AUTO MODE, the Chemical
Sensor (figure 1) controls the blower speed.
If the Chemical Sensor detects an unhealthful
amount of chemicals present in the air (indicated by the red light on the quality scale),
the electronic controls will automatically
increase blower speed.
SUPER MODE -- SUPER MODE may be selected during periods of high air pollution, such
as when winds increase airborne dust and
pollen, or during heavy room loading (parties
or smoking). Blower speed will increase 25
percent above AUTO MODE.
ECONOMY MODE -- ECONOMY MODE saves energy when the room is
unoccupied. When the Motion Sensor (figure 1) detects no motion for 30
seconds, blower speed is reduced to save electricity costs. The blower
returns to normal speed when motion is again detected.
SLEEP MODE -- SLEEP MODE reduces the sound level by slowing blower
speed by 30 percent, while still purifying room air at 70 percent of
normal operation.
MONIT
The Chemical Sensor continually monitors air
QUALITY, and in AUTO MODE, controls blower
speed and air volume.
ORING OPERATION

Both air QUALITY and air VOLUME are displayed on the INFORMATION panel. (figure 4).
Air QUALITY is indicated by one of five lights,
indicating a range from GOOD to POOR (figure
4).
Air VOLUME is indicated by one of seven lights,
representing a range from MAX to MIN (figure 4).
Set the CX1000 to move a volume of air appropriate for room conditions. Note that measurements are relative to the
selected room size. Make sure that the ROOM SIZE panel (figure 2) is
always set for the room in which the unit is to operate.
