Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for
household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature intended to help reduce the risk of
electrical shock. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a
qualified electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug by modifying
the plug in any way.
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.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
In order to prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury or damage to property,
follow these instructions carefully. When using electric appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the following:

electrical outlet where it is out of
the way. Make sure that the Allergen

Reducer before moving or servicing
it, or if it will not be used for several
days.

pinching the cord.
About Your Allergen Reducer
How the Allergen Reducer filters air:
1. A fan draws air through the intake
grille on the front of the Allergen
Reducer. Then it passes through the
filter which traps large allergen
particulates.
2. The filtered air is then released
through the outlet grille on the top
of the unit.
NOTE: The filter is designed to filter
allergens.

filter the room three times per hour at
high speed. Factors such as room
shape and ceiling height can affect
this rate. It is normal that the air flow
will be reduced as the filter becomes
clogged. Replace the filter as needed.
