filter in the unit (Fig. 1).

Stage 1: Activated Carbon Pre-filter traps larger

particles and household odors*

Stage 2: HEPA Filter captures up to 99.97% of

microscopic particles, as small as .3 microns*

SETUP

• Select a firm, level and flat location on the floor at least 6 inches away from 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 contaminants. 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 staining. This is especially important in homes with contamination from smoking, fireplaces, or where
candles are burned.

• Ensure the front of the unit faces away from the closest wall or furniture.

• Ensure no grilles are blocked.

• Turn off and unplug the air purifier.

• Turn the air purifier upside down on a flat surface. The filter is visible

RESET button again to illuminate the LED in “flashing mode”.

5. Press and hold FILTER RESET button for 2 seconds until LED shuts off. The HEPA filter monitor is now set to
“clean status”.

a dry cloth to wipe the external surfaces of the air purifier.
