SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only. WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug

(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another highwattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

HOW THE AIR PURIFIER WORKS

The air purifier functions as an air cleaner by helping to remove particulates (such as pet dander, dust, pollen, mold and mildew spores) from the air.

The air is cleaned in four stages:

1. A fan draws air through the sides of the front panel.

2. The permanent prefilter captures large particles (such as dog or cat hair), while the two carbon filters assist in removing odors.

The HEPA-grade filter then removes particles as small as 3 microns from the air at 99% effectiveness.

3. The ionizer (on select models) then releases negative ions into the air which attract positively charged particles.

4. The purified air is then released through the back of the unit.

Selecting a Location

DO NOT

• Place the air purifier on a flat, stable surface.

• Place the air purifier near an electrical outlet where it is out of the way. Make sure that the air purifier and the cord do not present tripping hazards.

• Select a central location with adequate air circulation.

• Turn off and unplug the air purifier before moving or servicing it, or if it will not be used for several days.

• Route the electrical cord clear of furniture to prevent damage from pinching.

The air purifier is designed for easy use and maintenance. Make sure to remove all packing materials and properly install the permanent filter before use.

Remember to remove the plastic bag around filters before using.

• Do not stand, sit, or place any objects on the air purifier. It is not designed to support additional weight.

• Do not block the air intake and outlet grilles with drapes, curtains, or blinds. This may cause reduced performance.

• Do not use in a kitchen, garage, or area with grease, oil, or chemicals such as solvents or insecticides.

• Do not place on or near heat sources such as stoves, radiators, or heaters, or in direct sunlight.

• To reduce electrical noise and interference, do not place on or near, or plug into the same outlet as TVs, baby monitors, or cordless phones.

PROBLEM

Reduced airflow or poor filtering.

PROBABLE CAUSE

• Is the unit plugged in?

• The air intake or air outlet grille may be blocked. Make sure nothing is in front of or directly behind the unit.
