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 using an
adaptor. 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. 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:

Parts and Features
About Your Air Purifier
The air purifier 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 of the air purifier.
2. For the air that passes through the filter, the HEPA filter removes particles
as small as 0.3 microns at 99.7%
effectiveness.
3. The purified air is then released
through the back of the unit.
This product earned the ENERGY STAR by
meeting strict energy efficiency guidelines set
by the US EPA. US EPA does not endorse
any manufacturer claims of healthier indoor
air from the use of this product.
The energy efficiency of this ENERGY
STAR-qualified model is measured based
on a ratio between the model’s CADR for
dust and the electrical energy it consumes—
or CADR/Watt.

interference, do not place on or near,
or plug into the same outlet as TVs,
baby monitors, or cordless phones.
DO:
• Place the air purifier on a flat, stable
surface.
• Place the air purifier near an electrical
outlet. 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.

may take up to one minute to activate the sensor. The sensor will then
continue to monitor and show the air
quality (poor, fair, or good) in a bar
graph in the display.
Auto – Sensor automatically adjusts
the fan speed for the most effective
air purification.

unit is on.
3. Fan Speed Knob – Turn the fan
speed knob to the desired setting.

Cleaning the Air Purifier
Your air purifier is designed to provide years of trouble-free service with
minimal maintenance. The following instructions will help you maximize the life
and efficiency of your air purifier.
wWARNING
To reduce risk of electric shock:
• Always unplug before cleaning.
• Do not immerse in water or other liquid.
Cleaning and Caring for the Air Purifier
NOTE: It is important to replace the
HEPA filter every six months and to
clean front panel regularly.
The HEPA filter should last approxi-
mately 6 months with continuous use,
less in areas with a high level
of airborne particles such as dust,
pollen, mold and mildew spores, pet
dander, and smoke.
To replace the HEPA filter:
1. Turn off and unplug air purifier.
Remove magnetic front panel to
access filter. Remove the used HEPA
filter by gripping the sides and pulling
outward. Discard the used filter. It
cannot be cleaned.
2. Obtain a replacement HEPA filter.
Insert the unwrapped HEPA filter into
the air purifier. Position the airflow
arrow (located on the filter) pointing
into the unit.
NOTE: Improper filter installation will
result in poor air filtration.
3. Replace magnetic front panel.
To clean the air purifier:
• Wipe enclosure, control panel, and
cord with a damp cloth or sponge.
• The front panel can be removed
and washed in warm, soapy water.
Do not place in dishwasher. Make
sure the panel is completely dry
before reinstalling.
• The outlet grill on the back of the unit
should simply be dusted.
• No part of the air purifier should be
placed in a dishwasher.

To Order Replacement Parts
The Air Quality Sensor (select models only)
The air quality sensor is a rectangular
compartment located on the side of
the air purifier. It contains both the
sensor/sensor lens and the sensor
cleaner (see Fig. 1). The sensor cleaner
is soft and specially shaped to fit inside
the sensor/sensor lens area. Monthly
cleaning of the sensor/sensor lens is
recommended.
Cleaning the Sensor/
Sensor Lens:
1. Open the compartment door and
remove the sensor cleaner. If sensor
cleaner is difficult to grasp, pull on
the black ribbon underneath to help
release it.
2. Holding one end of the sensor cleaner, push the piece in and out of the
sensor/sensor lens opening several
times. This will clean the area.
3. Slide the sensor cleaner back into its
storage compartment and close the
air quality sensor door. Make sure
the compartment door is fully closed
or the air purifier may not operate
properly.

Sensor Cleaner
*Each air purifier is designed to filter
the room air five 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
HEPA filter as needed.

Troubleshooting Guide
The following section provides the solutions to many common problems and
questions. If your air purifier is not working correctly, review these solutions
first. If your problem is still not solved after reviewing this guide, call our toll-free
customer service number, listed on the front cover of this manual, for assistance.
Reduced Air Flow or Poor Filtering
• The intake or outlet grill may be
blocked. Make sure nothing is in
front of or directly behind the air
purifier.
• The HEPA filter may be clogged.
Replace if necessary.
The Air Purifier Will Not Turn On
• Is the air purifier plugged into a
powered outlet?
• Is the fan speed knob turned on?
The Air Purifier Changes Speed
• Air quality sensor models are designed to sense the level of contaminants in the
air and adjust the fan speed to provide the most effective air purification possible.
If the air quality sensor control is set to Auto, it will automatically change fan
speeds to adjust for changing air quality.
