Description of Air Filtration System
How the PermaLife™ Air Purifier System Works
As the air is pulled into the purifier, the activated carbon pre-filter absorbs odors and catches
large particles. Then, the air travels through the PermaLife™ Cleanable Filtration System
where the smaller particles are collected. Then, the ionizer releases negative ions into the air
that attract positively charged dust, smoke, and pollen particles. Finally, the clean purified
air is released back into the room.

Operation
Manual and Auto Operating Modes
Your Hunter Air Purifier has two distinct operating modes – Manual and Auto. The Manual
Mode allows you to override the control programs that have been set and to hold the settings
until you adjust them. In Manual Mode, the automatic programs are not active. You select
whether the unit is on or off and choose the blower speed. In Auto Mode, your air purifier is
capable of running 4 separate programs for the weekdays and an additional 4 programs for
the weekend. You can choose to have the same programs for every day or you can have
different programs for the weekdays and the weekend. The air purifier is pre-programmed
for all 7 days of the week as shown below. Refer to User Programming on pg. 16 for instructions on changing the programs.

Operation
Using the Ionizer
Using the ionizer improves the quality of air in the room. Negative ions are released into the
air and positively charged dust, smoke, and pollen particles are attracted to the negative
ions. These particles settle out of the air and can be vacuumed up during normal cleaning.
These particles are also more easily captured by the cleanable filter as they pass through the
PermaLife™ Cleanable Filtration System. To ensure the best air circulation in the room, we
recommend that you place your air purifier six (6) inches away from any walls.
To turn the ionizer on or off:
1. To turn the ionizer on, press the IONIZER key. The word IONIZER will appear
in the lower-left corner of the display.
2. To turn the ionizer off, press the IONIZER key. The word IONIZER will disap-
pear from the display.

Operation
Filter Run-Time Counters
The pre-filter and filter are critical to the proper operation of the air purifier. To help you
know when to change the filters, your Hunter Air Purifier has Filter Run-Time Counters that
will monitor the number of hours your filters have been in use. Although the exact life of the
filters depends on the environment, the table below gives typical usage times of the filters.
Table 2: Typical Usage Times of the Filters
Filter Type Typical Usage
Activated Carbon Pre-Filter 1400 hours
Cleanable Filter 2800 hours
To check the run-hours for each filter:
1. Press the DISPLAY key to toggle among the 3 display modes – Clock, Pre-Filter,
and Filter. The Filter or Pre-Filter indicator will illuminate when the run hours
for that filter are displayed.
2. The display shows the number of run hours since the counter was reset.
Although the maximum display value is 9,999 hours, the counters can go indefinitely. To
indicate that the counter is over 9,999 hours, the display will flash. For example, a run time
of 12,000 hours is represented by a flashing 2,000 hours.
The values of the Pre-Filter and Filter Counters are stored in the air purifier’s memory.
The unit may be unplugged and moved without losing the pre-filter and filter counter
values.
To properly track filter usage, the Pre-Filter and Filter Counters should be reset each time
the filters are changed. Refer to Changing the Pre-Filter (pg. 20) or Cleaning the Filter (pg.
21) for instructions on how to reset the counters.

Cleaning the Filter
The PermaLife™ Filtration System uses a cleanable filter that never has to be changed, only
cleaned. When the filter exceeds 2800 hours (approximately 4 to 6 months of use), the Filter
Run-Time Counter will display 0% life remaining and the Filter indicator will flash (refer to
Filter Run-Time Counter for additional information, pg. 13). This is a reminder that you
should check the filter and clean if necessary. The proper time to clean the filter depends on
usage and the environment. Use the following list to help determine if the filter should be
cleaned:
• Compare the color of the filter to the color coded chart on the inside of the housing. If the
filter color matches the darkest color on the chart, you should clean the filter.
• If you notice a decrease in air output or an increase in noise at any time during normal
operation, the filter may be clogged. Clean the filter to return to normal operation.

To clean the filter and reset the filter run-time counter:
1. First, turn off and unplug the air purifier.
2. Next, remove the front grill. Place your fingers in the recesses on either side of
the top of the grill and pull firmly.
3. Gently pull on the filter to remove it from the unit. While removing the filter,
note the directional arrows printed on the top of the filter. The filter will be reinstalled with the same orientation. Refer to Fig. 27.
4. The label on the top side of the filter points to the side that should be cleaned.
Refer to Fig. 27. With a vacuum cleaner and upholstery brush attachment, clean
the filter until all particles are removed. Do not use water or liquids to clean.
5. Install the filter with arrows pointing towards the unit. Refer to Fig. 27. Press
the filter firmly into the air purifier. To avoid damaging the filter media, you
should press on the frame of the filter only.
