Thank you for purchasing the HEPAtech®
Air Purification System from Hunter Fan
Company. You have purchased our latest
development in portable Air Purification
Systems. This system has been developed to
improve the quality of the air you breathe.

Our HEPAtech® Air Purification System out
performs other air purification systems by
quickly and effectively removing dust, smoke,
and pollen particles as small as .1 microns in
size. Room air is pulled in through the front
right grill and cleaned across the HEPAtech®
filter. Clean air is then released out the front
left grill in order to avoid stirring up settled
particles.

The following innovative features are included
in your Hunter Air Purifier.

• High Particulate Efficiency: The

HEPAtech® filter will remove 99.97% of
particles as small as 0.1 micron particles
from the air that passes through the filter.

• Odor Removal: The activated carbon pre-

filter helps remove odors such as cooking,
smoke, and pet smells from the air. It also
traps lint, hair, and other large particles to
help extend the life and performance of the

HEPAtech® filter.

• Ionizer: The ionizer improves the quality of

air in the room by releasing negative ions
into the air that attract positively charged
dust, smoke, and pollen particles.

• Filter Calendar: Filter maintenance is critical

to the performance of the air purifier. To help
you determine when to change the pre-filter

and clean the HEPAtech® filter, the unit has
a built in Filter Calendar Dial that keeps
track of the life remaining on each filter.

• Microban: The filter on this unit is treated
with Microban Antimicrobial technology
which inhibits the growth of bacteria mold
and mildew that can cause odors and
adversely affect filter performance.

1. Take the air purifier out of the box and

remove the clear plastic protective bag and
place the unit on a firm level surface.

2. Before turning on the air purifier, you

need to confirm that the filters are firmly in
place and have not become loose during
shipping. To check the filters, open the front
grill by turning the grill knob until the notch
above the Hunter logo aligns with the
unlock symbol on the grill. Figure 1.

USING YOUR AIR PURIFIER

1. This Air Purifier is designed for use on
a flat, level surface and may not work
properly on an uneven surface. ALWAYS
place this Air Purifier on a firm, level
surface. ALWAYS place the Air Purifier at
least six (6) inches away from walls and
three (3) Ft. from heat sources such as
stoves, radiators, or heaters.

2. Place the Air Purifier in an area that is out
of the reach of children.

3. Before using the Air Purifier, extend the
cord and inspect for any signs of damage.
DO NOT use the product if the cord has
been damaged.

4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
product has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other) as a safety feature.
This plug will fit into a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. DO
NOT attempt to defeat or override this
safety feature.

5. ALWAYS UNPLUG the Air Purifier when it
is not in operation, while the filter is being
changed, and while it is being cleaned.

6. DO NOT tilt or move the Air Purifier while it
is in operation. Shut off and unplug before
moving.

7. DO NOT immerse the Air Purifier in water
as permanent damage will occur. Refer to
and follow the CLEANING AND FILTER
REPLACEMENT instructions.

8. DO NOT run the ionizer if tobacco smoke,
air fresheners, dripless wax candles, or
grease from cooking is present.

4. The carbon pre-filter is mounted inside the
front of the unit with hook tape. Confirm
that it properly covers the grill vents. You
may notice a few black particles coming off
the pre-filter. Those particles are part of the
odor-removing activated carbon and will be
collected on the filter during use.

5. The HEPAtech® filter will be resting inside
the unit. If present, remove the plastic bag
surrounding the filter and place the filter
back into the Air Purifier. The filter should

4. Plug your Desktop Air Purifer back in.

Your new Hunter Desktop Air Purifier can be
setup to operate either standing up or turned
on it’s side. To run the Air Purifier on it’s side:

1. Turn the unit off and unplug from power.

2. Locate the Rubber Feet located on the side
of the Air Purifier. Figure 5.

Note: The Hunter logo on the knob of the
door can be turned to face upward without
unlocking.

POSITIONING YOUR AIR PURIFIER

6. Plug the unit into a 120V electrical outlet.

Dust and other irritants are pulled into the air
purification system by the fan. The carbon
pre-filter attracts larger particles like, pet
dander, hair, and odor causing particles
and traps them on the pre-filter. Smaller
particles such as dust, mold, and pollen pass
through the pre-filter and are captured by the

HEPAtech® filter. Up to 99.97% of particles
as small as .1 microns can be captured.

NOTE: To avoid the risk of electric shock,

always unplug the unit before cleaning.

damp cloth. The front grill can be cleaned
in soapy water after it has been removed
from the unit and the pre-filter has been
removed. See Figure 1.

NOTE: Ensure the grill is completely dry

before reinstalling into the unit. Failure to
do so could cause damage to the filters or
motor.

2. At least every 90 days, open the front grill,

plastic wrapping that may be on the new
filter before you place it into the Air Purifier.

flow and the direction the filter should be
placed in the unit.
