WARNINGS
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.
Warning: The cords, wires and/or cables supplied with this product contain chemicals, including lead or lead compounds, known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after using.
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 portable luminaire has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a feature to reduce the risk of electric shock. This plug will fit into 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. Never use an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted. Do not alter the plug.
•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.
WARNINGS
•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.
•Use appliance only for intended household use as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
•DO NOT use outdoors.
•NEVER block the air openings, grills/outlets or place on a soft surface such as a bed or sofa, as this could cause the unit to tip over, blocking the air intake or outtake opening.
•DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void your warranty. The inside of the unit contains no user serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed by qualified personnel only.
•DO NOT place anything on top of unit.
•WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.

Digital Air Cleaning System
Improve your indoor air quality with your new germguardian® Air Cleaning System. Multiple levels of cleaning include a combination True HEPA filter that captures allergens, and Charcoal filter to remove odors. UV-C light technology enhances germ-killing.
Pre-Filter*
Captures initial dust and allergen particles.
Charcoal Filter* (aka Activated Carbon)
Charcoal/Activated Carbon contributes to the control and prevention of the growth of bacteria, germs and mold.
True HEPA Filter
Captures 99.99% of dust and allergens.
UV-C Light
UV-C light technology works with Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) to enhance the elimination of airborne germs. TiO2 is activated by the UV-C light to decompose remaining odor molecules caused by smoking, cooking and pets.
*Pre-Filter and Charcoal Filter are combined into one layer that attaches to the HEPA Filter.

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 193 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: 125+
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.
