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) feet from heat
sources such as stoves, radiators, or heaters.

quickly and effectively removing dust, smoke,
and pollen particles as small as .3 microns in
size. Room air is pulled in through the front grill
where larger particles and odors are caught on
the pre-filter. Smaller particles passing through
the pre-filter are caught on the main filter. The
ionizer helps remove the remaining particles
before being pushed back into the room through
the top vent.

USING YOUR AIR PURIFIER

1. Take the air purifier out of the box and remove
the clear plastic protective bag. Place the unit
on a firm level floor.

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.

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
placing your fingers under the handle and
pulling the front grill towards you. The front
grill will rest at about 45º. You may then
remove the front grill by placing your fingers
under the handle and pulling the front grill up.

3. There are two pre-filters. The first one is
a carbon pre-filter that is mounted inside
the front grill 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. The second
one is a washable pre-filter that is located
between the carbon pre-filter and the front
cover. The PermaLife filter should rest loosely
inside the unit with the arrow on the side of
the filter showing air flow and the direction
the filter should be installed.

4. Place the front grill back onto the unit. First,
line up the tabs on the bottom of the grill
with the openings on the purifier base and
then push the top of the grill forward until it
is closed. NOTE: This unit will not operate
unless the grill is in the correct position.

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

counter, rotate the calendar ring to align the filter
symbol ( ) with the month that you installed the
filter. Since the filter is designed for 6 months

the filter would need to be cleaned again ( ) in
October.

Pre-filter Calendar: The outer knob of the
filter calendar is the pre-filter counter. To use,
align the pre-filter symbol ( ) on the ring with
the month that you installed the pre-filter. The

a new pre-filter. The pre-filter is designed for 3
months of usage. Replacing the pre-filter ( ) in
July means the filter would need to be replaced
