WARNINGS

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.

• 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.

• Al

ways 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.

• 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.

WARNINGS

Failure to comply with the warnings listed below may

result in electric shock or serious injury.

• DO NOT place anything on top of unit.

• 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.

• WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any
solid-state speed control device.

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.

Ionizer Option

Negative ions clear the air of dust, mold spores, pollen, pet dander, and odors. They do this
by attaching to these positively charged particles in large numbers. This causes the pollen,
mold, etc to become too heavy to stay airborne.

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 378 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: 244, DUST: 310, POLLEN: 346

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 such as 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.
