When using electrical appliances, basic
precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
injury to persons, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before operating the air

purifier.

2. Place air purifier where it is not easily knocked

over by persons in the household.

3. Always turn the air purifier controls to the OFF

position and unplug from the wall outlet when

4. To disconnect the air purifier, first turn the

control to the OFF position, grip the plug and
pull it from the wall outlet when not in use.
Never pull by the cord.

5. Do not use any product with a damaged cord

or plug or if product malfunctions, is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Keep the cord
away from heated surfaces.

6. Do not use air purifier outdoors.

7. Never use air purifier unless it is fully

assembled.

or exhaust opening as this may cause electric
shock or damage to the air purifier. Do not
block air outlets or intakes.

13. Locate air purifier near the outlet and avoid

using an extension cord.

14. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade

is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
shock, this plug is intended to fit only one way
in a polarized outlet. 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.

16. Do not sit, stand or place heavy objects on the

air purifier.

17. Disconnect power supply before servicing.

HOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER WORKS

This model air purifier incorporates a 3-stage
cleaning system to help clean the air that passes
through the filter in the unit (Fig. 1).

Stage 1: Washable Particle Pre-Filter
Stage 2: 99% HEPA Filter
Stage 3: Electronic Ionizer

Fig. 1

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.
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.

INSTALL MAIN HEPA-TYPE FILTER:

The HEPA-Type Filter is supplied within the air
purifier. It is wrapped to ensure purity.

• Turn-off and unplug the air purifier. While pressing
on the two notches along the front grille, pull the
grille towards you and remove it (See Fig. 2).
Gently push down on the top of the filter frame
and pull forward.

• Remove protective wrap from the filters.

• Place back into the air purifier housing and snap
filter grille into place.

OPERATION:

• Ensure the air purifier is plugged into a working
electrical outlet and the Power Knob and Ionizer
Knob are off.

• Turn the Power Knob to the High position for
several minutes and then rotate the Power Knob
to the desired cleaning level ( I = Low,
II = Medium, III = High).

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

IONIZER FEATURE:

The Ionizer helps boost the performance of the air
purifier and helps freshen the air.

• Turn the Ionizer Control Knob to the ON ( I ) position
(see Fig. 3).This will power the Ionizer on. To turn
the Ionizer feature off, simply turn the knob to the
OFF (O) position.

NIGHTLIGHT FEATURE:

The nightlight provides soft illumination.

• To turn the night light on, press the nightlight
button (see Fig. 3).

• To turn it off, press the nightlight button again.

ELECTRONIC FILTER CLEAN REMINDER:

This model air purifier has an electronic filter check to
remind you when to clean the Main filter based on the
air purifier’s hours of use.

Once a filter has reached the point where it should be
cleaned, its light will remain on until it is RESET.You
may unplug the air purifier without interrupting the filter
check memory function.

A red LED light will illuminate when it is time to clean
the filter.

Clean the HEPA-Type filter and pre-filter
(see cleaning instructions below) and then reset the
Electronic Filter Check.

To RESET the Electronic Filter Check:

When the filter monitor light remains on, it is time to
clean the Main filter 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 4). Depending upon your individual
usage (environment and hours used), you may need to
check and clean the filter more or less frequently. If the
Main filter is cleaned before the filter monitor light turns
on, the filter monitor should be reset at the same time.

MAINTAINING YOUR STAGE 1 WASHABLE
PARTICLE PRE-FILTER:

The stage 1 particle pre-filter
helps pick up large airborne
particles that enter the front
grille. This pre-filter can be
periodically removed and shaken
to clean it.Alternatively,it can be
rinsed by hand under warm
water.(Fig 5).

Let the pre-filter air dry completely before inserting back
into the unit. If you need to replace this item, please see
Consumer Relations section on the next page.

CLEANING THE STAGE 2 HEPA-TYPE FILTER:

This model is equipped
with permanent HEPA-Type
filters which never need
replacement with normal
use.

To Clean Your HEPA-Type
Filter:

• DO NOT USE WATER OR
OTHER LIQUIDS TO
CLEAN THE HEPA-TYPE
FILTER.

• To vacuum-clean the filter, hold the filter and run
a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle or brush
attachment along the filter to pick-up the dirt and
particles (Fig. 6). Repeat along the entire surface
of the HEPA-Type filter. We recommend that a
vacuum with hepa filtration is used for cleaning
the filters.

• Note the filter may still be discolored even after
cleaning it. This is acceptable and will not affect
performance.

• After vacuuming the filter, place it back into the
air purifier housing and snap filter grille into
place.

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.

NOTE: The HEPA-Type filters are not washable.

CLEANING AND STORAGE:

We recommend that you clean the air purifier at
least once a month and before extended storage.
Use only a dry cloth to wipe the external surfaces
of the air purifier. DO NOT USE WATER, WAX

POLISH, OR ANY CHEMICAL SOLUTION.

If your Air Purifier will not be used for more than 30
days, we recommend:

• Remove the Main Filter from the unit.

• Wrap the Main Filter in an air tight plastic bag.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

My Air Purifier is starting to make noise and the
air output is less. What’s wrong?

The filters may be dirty. High amounts of
contaminates can block the pores in the filter and
stop the air from moving through it. You should clean
the Filter.

How long should I run my Air Purifier?

For best results, you should operate your Air
Purifier 24 hours a day.This unit will be more
effective when doors and windows are closed.

Can I wash my HEPA-Type filter?

No. Washing the Main filter will destroy it. Only the
Stage 1 Pre-filter can be washed.
