Introduction
Your Electronic Air Purifier is ideal for large size rooms and has
been designed for continuous operation. For best results, operate
your air cleaner continuously on low speed (1).
Please take time to thoroughly read through your owner’s manual.
Your air cleaning system features a washable Electronic Filter – just
wash, dry and reuse. The outside of the air cleaner can be cleaned
using a soft, clean, damp cloth. Never immerse the unit in water.
How the Air Purifier Works
Polluted air is drawn into the Air Purifier through the top half of the
front grille. Dust, smoke, and pollen in the air receive a positive
electrical charge as they pass through the ionizing section of the
electronic filter. The charged particles then enter the collecting section, which uses a series of alternately charged aluminum plates to
attract and retain the particles. It works like a powerful magnet and
the particles remain fixed to the plates through natural adhesion
until removed by the washing process. The air then passes through
a Charcoal Filter that helps remove household odors. Clean air is
discharged back into the room through the bottom half of the front
grille.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock,
120V/60Hz models have a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact qualified personnel to install
the proper outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way.
SAFETY NOTE: Do not use this electronic air cleaner when oxygen is being used or when combustible gases are present.
Getting Started
The Charcoal Filter is sealed in a plastic bag taped to back of the
Air Purifier. To install the Charcoal Filter, remove the Filter Access
Cover by lifting upward (see figure 3). Lower the Charcoal Filter
into the filter rails located on the rear of the Electronic Filter.
The data label is located under the Filter Access Cover and defines
electrical specifications and power consumption. Replace the Filter
Access Cover and plug the unit into a standard household electrical
outlet. Your air cleaner is now ready for operation.
This Air Purifier can be used in any room in the house or in any
workspace as long as air can freely circulate into the upper grille
and out through the lower grille. The unit should never be placed
on soft surfaces such as beds or sofas; near computers, radios or
TV’s; or near sources of heat (such as stovetops or ovens).
Operation
The operation of the unit is simple.
Power the unit by pressing the
On/Off button and then press the
button corresponding to the desired
speed. Your Electronic Air Purifier is
designed for continuous operation
which also provides maximum efficiency in removing airborne polutants.

Cleaning
Instructions
If the Air Purifier is in constant
use, the Electronic Filter requires
washing about once a month to
remove the particles collected
from the air. If the unit snaps frequently during operation, this is
an indication that the Electronic
Filter needs to be cleaned.
Unplug unit from power
source before servicing.
Removing the
Electronic Filter
Remove the Filter Access Cover
by lifting upward. Lift the
Electronic Filter out of the cabinet using the handle on the top
of the filter.
Removal of
Charcoal Filter
Lift the Charcoal Filter out of the
filter rails located on the rear side
of the Filter Assembly.
Washing the Charcoal Filter with
soap and water will destroy its
ability to absorb odor. However,
lint and dirt buildup can be
removed with a vacuum cleaner
using a brush attachment.
Odor absorpton effectiveness will
gradually deteriorate and the
Charcoal Filter should be replaced
every three to four months.

Washing the Electronic
Filter
The Electronic Filter is designed
such that it can be cleaned using
common household detergent.
Using dishwashing detergent
and hot water, make a good
soaking solution in a tub or
large basin. Completely
immerse the Electronic Filter
and soak for 20 to 30 minutes in
the soaking solution (Figure 5).
After the Electronic Filter has
soaked sufficiently, agitate the
cell up and down in the soaking
solution until clean. If the
Electronic Filter is extremely
dirty, spray it with a common
household cleaner or Electronic
Air Cleaner solution. Allow the
filter to soak for five additional
minutes before proceeding with
the rinse instructions.
Thoroughly rinse both sides of
the Electronic Filter. If a sprayer
is available, spray with water
(Figure 6). Check to make sure
each plate in the Electronic Filter
is clean. Shake as much water
out of the Electronic Filter as
possible. Allow the filter to air
dry a minimum of one hour
before returning to service.
Washing Tips
When handling the Electronic Filter, be
careful not to damage or distort wires
or metal plates as this will cause excessive snapping or arcing during operation.
Note: Slight discoloration of cell plates
is normal after use and does not affect
the performance of the Electronic Air
Purifier.

Figure 6
Warning: Do not clean
the Electronic Filter in
dishwasher.
Reinstalling the Filter
Assembly
Wipe down the interior and outside of the cabinet with a soft, dry
cloth.
Re-assemble the Filter Assembly
(see figure 7).
Warning:
Make sure the filter is dry
before reinstalling.
Using the handle, slide the
Electronic Filter inside the cabinet
wall.
Note that the tabs in the cabinet
and notches in the Electronic Filter
end plates ensure the filter is correctly positioned.
Replace the Filter Access Cover. An
electrical interlock switch prevents
the unit from operating if the
Electronic Filter or Filter Access
Cover is not replaced correctly.
Note: An occasional ‘arcing’
sound is normal when operating the unit immediately after
cleaning and should stop within a few minutes of operation.

Questions & Answers
How can I get the most out of my
Electronic Air Purifier?
For peak efficiency in maintaining air quality, we
recommend that the unit be operated continuously.
My Air Purifier makes a snapping sound...
You may notice an occasional snapping or arcing
sound coming from your unit. This is a normal
occurrence that happens when large particles are
electrically charged in the Electronic Filter.
Prolonged or continuous arcing is an indication
that the filter should be cleaned or that the filter
has been damaged.
Sometimes I notice an unfamilIar smell
when I turn the unit on.
Some owners may notice a "new smell" (like outdoors after an electrical storm) during the first
few weeks of operation. This is not unusual during the break-in period. This unit emits very low
levels of ozone; less than a typical electrical appliance in your home, such as a television.
