filter and pre-filter should be cleaned at least once every three months, or sooner depending

on the air quality of the room (See

“Removing/Cleaning the IFD™Filter” or “Cleaning the Pre-Filter”

respectively).

NOTE: If you smoke, burn candles or oil lamps in your home, it is recommended that you wash your filter more frequently.When burned in an enclosed space, candles and oil lamps have a tendency to introduce soot into the air.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How often is cleaning required?

The IFD™filter reset light will illuminate to indicate that the IFD™filter should be cleaned. We recommend cleaning the filter about once a month depending on the air quality of the room.

I just cleaned my filter but the filter indicator bar is still showing it is dirty, what’s wrong?

Each time you clean your filter you must reset the filter life indicator. It is a timer driven indicator to be used as a guideline, but does not represent the actual amount of dirt in the IFD

™

filter.With the unit running, press and hold the appropriate button for up to 10 seconds and when you let go, the filter indicator bar should be reset.

The filter indicator bar on my unit is completely full but my filter doesn’t really look dirty.

The filter indicator on your unit is timer-based and does not measure the amount of particles in the

™

filter. It is possible that your filter indicator could indicate that the filter is dirty but some particles

IFD are so small that they cannot be seen but are present in the filter.We recommend cleaning the IFD

™

filter (see Removing/Cleaning the IFD™Filter in the manual).

My filter bar says my filter is still relatively clean but when I checked my filter it was really dirty.

In conditions where smoke, pets or air with a lot of contaminants are present it is possible that the filter could be dirty sooner than indicated on the indicator.The filter life indicator on your unit runs on a timer and if there are more particles in your air than in an a

vera

ge home,

your filter could ca

pture airborne particles sooner than indicated on the display.The indicator is intended to be used as a guideline and individual environmental conditions will vary.

Is the HHT-215 Air Purifier considered an ozone generator?

No. Ozone generators produce large amounts of ozone as the primary way to clean the air. The EPA does not endorse these products because they can cause ozone related health problems. The HHT-215 does not use ozone as the primary method to clean the air. It cleans the air by using IFD (Intense Field Dielectric) which only genera

tes trace amounts of ozone,
