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.

• Keep the cord out of heavy trafﬁc areas. To avoid ﬁre hazard, NEVER put the cord 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

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.

This air cleaner is suggested for use in a single, closed room up to 183 square feet.

Higher CADR rates provide improved performance in all room sizes. Portable air cleaners will be much more effective in rooms when all the doors and windows are closed.

TOBACCO SMOKE: 118+

This value represents performance that can be expected within the ﬁrst 72 hours of operation. Subsequent use may vary with use.

Tested per ANSI/AHAM AC-1 National Standard

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 particules from things like tobacco smoke and plant pollens from the room.

NOTE: Do NOT stick any foreign objects or your ﬁngers inside of the unit. CAUTION: Do NOT use gasoline, benzine, thinner, harsh cleaners, etc. on and/or in

the unit while cleaning as they will damage the product. NEVER use alcohol or other solvents.
