SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read the following precautions carefully before operating
the Complete Air Cleansing System. Failure to do so could result in
a fire hazard, electrical shock, bodily injury or damage to the unit.
• Do not damage, pull, twist, bend or place heavy objects on the electrical cord.
• Never handle the electrical cord with wet hands.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has 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.
• Never tug on the electrical cord to unplug the unit from the outlet.
• Unplug the unit before cleaning, installing or replacing filters.
• If the electrical cord becomes damaged, please contact a qualified
technician for repair.
• Do not place fingers or foreign objects into the airflow openings of the unit.
• Operate the unit in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not operate the unit outdoors.
• Do not operate near flammable gases.
• Do not operate the unit in humid or wet places such as a bathroom.
• Do not use chemical sprays near the unit, they will accumulate on the filter
and potentially cause harmful fumes.
• Do not operate the unit in an area with high oil content, such as mechanical
oil or cooking oil, over time it will deteriorate the filter.
• Never look directly at the UV light bulb when lit.
• Make sure all filters are correctly installed before running the unit.

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.
