SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Thank you for purchasing the HEPAtech+UVC Air Purifier from Hunter Fan Company. You have purchased our latest development in portable air purification which has been designed to improve the quality of the air that you breathe. The following innovative features are included in your Hunter Air Purifier.

• High Particulate Efficiency: The HEPAtech® filter will remove 99.97% of 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.

• UVC Lamp: This Hunter Air Purifier is equipped with a UVC germicidal lamp. UVC technology is a

proven germicide that is accepted by the FDA and EPA as having the ability to kill pathogens in air

that is exposed to UVC light.

• Filter Counters: Filter maintenance is critical to the performance of the Air Purifier. To help you

determine when to change the filters, the Pre-Filter and HEPAtech® filter, the unit has built in life

counters that keep track of the life remaining of each filter.

WARNING: This Air Purifier emits UV radiation that may cause eye and/or skin irritation. RG-3.

Avoid exposing eyes and skin to unshielded UVC Lamp.

Caution: The UVC Lamp may shatter and cause injury if it is dropped or sustains impact. Wear safety glasses and gloves when handling the UVC Lamp. Do not use excessive force when handling

the UVC Lamp. Dispose of the UVC bulb in accordance with local or State guidelines as trace amounts of Mercury are present.

How the HEPAtech+UVC 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 HEPAtech® filter where the smaller particles are collected. Next, the air passes through the UVC Field, which helps reduce airborne pathogens such as germs, viruses, mold, and mildew. 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.

Initial Operation

This section provides basic instructions on the use of your Air Purifier. After following these ini-

tial directions, please continue reading this booklet to learn how to operate the more advanced

features of your Air Purifier.

Basic Operation of the 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.

2. Before turning on the unit, you need to confirm that the filters are firmly in place and have not become loose during shipping. To check the filters, first open the Front Grill. Release the Front Grill by placing your fingers under the handle on the Grill and pull forward, then up.

Refer to Figs. 4 and 5.

3. Next, check the HEPAtech® filter by pressing firmly on all four corners of the Filter to ensure that it is fully inserted into the filter opening. NOTE: THIS UNIT WILL NOT OPERATE

UNLESS FILTER IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY AND SEATED PROPERLY.

4.The Carbon Pre-Filter 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.

5. Place the Front Grill back onto the unit. First, line up the tab on the bottom of the Grill with the recess on the Purifier Base and then push the top of the Grill forward until it is closed. Refer to Figs. 6 and 7. NOTE: THIS UNIT WILL NOT OPERATE UNLESS THE FRONT GRILL IS INSTALLED CORRECTLY.

Filter Life 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 Life Counters that will monitor the life of your filters. 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

The Pre-Filter and Filter indicators will turn on when the filters need to be replaced.

The values of the Pre-Filter and Filter Life Counters are stored in the Air Purifier’s memory. The unit may be unplugged and moved or stored without losing the Pre-Filter and Filter Counter values.

To properly track filter usage, the Pre-Filter and Filter Life Counters should be reset each time

the filters are changed. Refer to Changing the Pre-Filter (pg. 9) or Changing the Filter (pg. 10) for instructions on how to reset the counters.

Resetting the Air Purifier

In the unusual situation that the unit or the display is exhibiting erratic behavior, you may want to reset the Air Purifier. If you still have problems after resetting the Air Purifier, please contact Hunter for additional assistance (refer to Technical Support, pg. 14).

To Reset the Air Purifier:

1. Unplug the unit for at least 30 seconds.

2. Plug the unit back in.

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 HEPAtech® filter as they pass through the HEPAtech® Air Purification 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 Ionizer Indicator will turn on.

2.To turn the Ionizer off, press the Ionizer key. The Ionizer Indicator will turn off.

When the Ionizer is on, the amber LED will remain illuminated.

Air Purifier Maintenance

Cleaning Your Air Purifier

Proper maintenance of your Hunter Air Purifier will help ensure years of trouble free service.

Follow these steps to properly maintain your Air Purifier:

1. Approximately every 90 days, the outside of the unit should be cleaned with a soft, damp

cloth.

2. If needed, the Front Grill can be removed from the unit and cleaned with soapy water. Simply remove the Pre-Filter before exposing the Grill to water.

3. Follow the instructions in Changing the Pre-Filter and Changing the Filter (pgs. 9 and 10) to determine when and how to replace the filters.

NOTES:

• The Air Purifier must be unplugged during the cleaning process.
