9.Do not use air cleaner where combustible gases or vapors are present.

10.Do not expose the air purifier to rain, or use near water, in a bathroom, laundry area or other damp location.

11.The air purifier must be used in its upright position.

If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT attempt to defeat this safety feature.

15.A loose fit between the AC outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and a distortion of the plug. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.

HOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER WORKS

This model air purifier incorporates a 3-stage cleaning	Fig. 1
system to help clean the air that passes through the filter
in the unit (Fig. 1).
Stage 1: Washable Pre-Filter
Stage 2: Permanent Washable ifD™ Filter
Stage 3: Electronic Ionizer

SET-UP

•Select a firm, level and flat location. For proper airflow, locate the unit at least 3 feet (1 M) from any wall or furniture.

•When operating, large volumes of air are drawn toward the air purifier. Surrounding areas should be cleaned and/or vacuumed frequently to prevent build-up of dust and other contaminates. This may also help prolong the life of the filter. If the unit is placed on a light colored carpet, a small mat or rug should be used underneath to prevent permanent staining. This is especially important in homes with contamination from smoking or fireplaces.

OPERATION

•	Ensure the air purifier is plugged into a working electrical outlet.		Fig. 2
•	Press the power button (	) once. The unit will start at medium speed for a
	few seconds and then automatically change to low speed (Fig. 2).
•	Press the power button again to select a different cleaning level.

It is recommended you run your air purifier 24 hours a day to ensure continuous cleaning. Portable air purifiers are more effective in rooms where all doors and windows are closed.

ELECTRONIC FILTER CLEAN REMINDER

This model air purifier has an electronic filter check to remind you when to check	Fig. 3
and clean the washable ifD™ filter based on the air purifier's hours of use.
When the ifD™ filters need to be cleaned, the light will remain on until it is RESET.
You may unplug the air cleaner without interrupting the filter check.
A red LED light will illuminate when it is time to clean the filter.
You should periodically check the filter. Depending on operating conditions, the
filters should be cleaned at least once a month.

To RESET the Electronic Filter Check:

When the filter monitor light remains on, it is time to check/clean the ifD™ filters and reset the filter monitor, if needed. With the unit powered on, insert the tip of a ball-point pen or paperclip next to the LED filter check light and hold for approximately 5 seconds until the light turns off (Fig. 3). Depending upon your individual usage (environment and hours used), you may need to check and clean the filters more or less frequently. If the ifD™ filters are cleaned before the filter monitor light turns on, the filter monitor should be reset at the same time.

These cleaning intervals are intended as guidelines only. Performance of any filter media is dependent upon the concentration of contaminates going through the system. High concentrations of contaminates such as dust, pet dander and smoking will reduce the useful performance of the filter.

OSCILLATION FEATURE

To help circulate fresher, cleaner air through the room, this unit has an oscillation			Fig. 4
feature.
•	To turn Oscillation on, simply press the Oscillation button (	) (Fig. 4).
•	To turn Oscillation Off, press the button again.

CLEANING THE IFD™ FILTERS

To clean the ifD™ filter:
