When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons. These precautions include:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

2. To avoid fire or shock hazard, plug the appliance into a 120V AC electrical outlet.

3. If the filter is covered by a bag when shipped, remove plastic bag before use.

4. Keep the cord out of heavy traffic areas. To avoid fire hazard, NEVER put the cord

under rugs, near heat registers, radiators, stoves, or heaters.

5. To protect against electrical hazards, DO NOT immerse the appliance in water or

other liquids. Do not use near water.

6. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children, or
disabled persons.

7. Always unplug the air purifier before moving or cleaning the unit, opening the grill,
changing the filters and whenever the unit is not in use. To disconnect the unit, be
sure to pull the plug and not the cord.

8. NEVER drop or insert any objects into the openings of the unit.

9. DO NOT operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug. If the motor fan fails

to operate or the unit has been dropped or damaged in any manner, return appliance
to manufacturer for examination and/or repair.

10. Use appliance only for intended household use as described in this manual.

Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons. The use of attachments not recommended
or sold by the manufacturer may cause injuries.

11. DO NOT use outdoors.

12. NEVER place on a soft surface such as a bed or sofa as this could cause the unit to
tip over and block the air inlet or outlet grills.

13. Keep unit away from heated surfaces and open flames.

14. DO NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on

this unit. Doing so may cause injuries and will void your warranty. The inside of the
unit contains no user serviceable parts. All servicing should be performed by an
authorized service Center.

15. DO NOT place anything on top of unit.

16. NEVER use detergents, gasoline, glass purifier, furniture polish, paint thinner, or

other household solvents to clean any part of the appliance.

17. Always turn the appliance off before unplugging it.

18. The ionizer in this appliance produces less ozone than the UL established limits of
50ppb (parts per billion). However, in high concentrations, ozone can be harmful to
birds and small pets. To prevent ozone buildup, we suggest using the ionizer in well
ventilated areas with the fan on.

19. This appliance should only be used in a room with temperatures between
40° F and 110° F.

20. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, DO NOT use this appliance with any
solid-state speed control device.

21. DO NOT block air inlet or outlet.

PLEASE READ AND SAVE

THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is
intended to 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 a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS PLUG OR DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE IN ANY WAY.

CORD AND PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

The length of 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 Air Purifier (refer to the rating information placed on the Air
Purifier). 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.

Carefully unpack your Air Purifier. Select a firm level place where there are no
obstructions to the air inlet or filtered air outlet.

Remove the air inlet grill and check if the filter is covered by a plastic bag. If it is,
remove plastic bag before use.

The carbon filters are packed in a plastic bag in the box. Remove plastic bag, use the
provided adhesive fastener to attach the carbon filters onto the upper edge of the
frame on the Aer1® filters. Then, place all filters back into the unit, and reinstall the
air inlet grill.

Place unit 12 inches from surrounding objects. DO NOT PLACE the air intake grill
or the rear of unit directly against the wall, furniture or other objects.
