Shock Hazard

• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electrical 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 using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.

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 allergen reducer. 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. Route the electrical or extension cord clear of furniture to prevent damage from pinching.

HOW THE ALLERGEN REDUCER WORKS

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

The air is cleaned in three stages:

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

2. The permanent 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 allergen reducer on a flat, stable surface.

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

• Select a central location with adequate air circulation.

• Turn off and unplug the allergen reducer 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 allergen reducer 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 filter before using.

• Do not stand, sit, or place any objects on the allergen reducer. 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.

POTENTIAL PROBLEM

Reduced air flow or poor filtering.

PROBABLE CAUSE

• Is the unit plugged in?
