HOW YOUR AIR PURIFIER WORKS

This model air purifier incorporates a 2-stage cleaning

system to help clean the air that passes through the filter in the unit (Fig. 1).

SET-UP

• Select a firm, level and flat location.

• 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, 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.

ELECTRONIC FILTER CHANGE REMINDER

These air purifier models each have two electronic filter checks to remind you when to check and replace the True-HEPA filters and the Odor Reducing PreFilters based on the air cleaner’s hours of use.

When the True HEPA filter(s) and/or the Pre-Filter need to be replaced, the “Check Filter” or “Check Pre-Filter” light will illuminate (Fig. 7).

You should periodically check these filters. Depending on operating conditions, the True-HEPA filters should be replaced every 12 months, and the Odor Reducing Pre-Filters every 3 months, especially if there have been heavy odors and particles in the home.

Fig. 7 Will illuminate

when it is time to

change HEPA filters

To RESET Either Electronic Filter Check:

After you have replaced the appropriate filter(s) the “Check Filter or “Check Pre-Filter” light will remain on until it is reset. With the unit powered on, press the lighted button and hold for approximately 2 seconds until the light turns off. The electronic filter check is now reset. Depending on individual usage (environment and hours used), you may need to replace filters more or less frequently.

NOTE: If you change the Pre-Filter or Filter before the Electronic Filter Check lights are illuminated, it is possible to re-set the light indicators. With the unit plugged in, but NOT powered on, press and hold each button individually for at least 5 seconds. This will illuminate the indicator light. After the light turns on, individually press and hold the “Check Filter” or “Check Pre-Filter” button until each light goes off. At this point, the filter indicator will be re-set to it’s original “clean” status.

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: None of the filters are washable. Do not immerse them in water.

Using the Timer Option (Not available on the HPA090 Series):

The Timer Option (

) allows you to select how long the air purifier will run before it automatically shuts off. There are three pre-set run times: 2, 4, and 8 hours. Do not use this option if you want the unit to run continuously.

• To set the unit for Automatic Shut Off, TAP the Auto-off Timer icon (

• Continue to TAP to toggle through to the desired time setting.

• An LED light will illuminate to indicate the selected run time (Fig. 5).

• The unit will automatically shut off after the indicated run time.

you run your air purifier while you are at home to clean the air.
