Failure to comply with the warnings listed below may
result in electric shock or serious injury.
This product should be used only in accordance with the specifications
outlined in this manual. Usage other than what has been specified here
may result in serious injury.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using appliance.
• IMPORTANT - This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to 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 a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
• To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance directly into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

under rugs, near heat registers, radiator, stoves or heaters.
• To protect against electrical hazards, DO NOT immerse in water or other liquids.
Do not use near water.
• Children cannot recognize the hazards associated with the usage of electrical
appliances. For this reason, always supervise children when they are near the unit.
• Always unplug the air purifier before moving it, opening the grill, changing filters, cleaning
or whenever the air purifier is not in use. Be sure to pull by the plug and not the cord.
• NEVER drop or insert any object into any openings.
• DO NOT run cord under carpeting.
• DO NOT cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings.
• DO NOT route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area
and where it will not be tripped over.
• DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, if motor fan fails to rotate,
after the appliance malfunctions, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
Call Customer Service at 1.866.603.5900 for assistance.

not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

What is CADR?
CADR stands for “Clean Air Delivery Rate,” which indicates the volume of filtered air delivered by an
air purifier. CADR ratings show the effectiveness of how efficient the air purifier is at capturing fine
particles from things like tobacco smoke and plant pollens from the room.
Clean Air Delivery Rate
From air cleaner to air cleaner, compare the CADR numbers. First look at suggested room size.
Then refer to the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) numbers. The higher the number, the faster the
unit filters the air.
Refer to website for individual model CADR numbers.
