Thank you for purchasing the PermaLife® 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 PermaLife® Air Purification System out performs other air purification systems by quickly and effectively removing dust, smoke, and pollen particles as small as .5 microns in size. Room air is pulled in through the side grills and cleaned across the PermaLife™ filter. Clean air is then released out the front grill in order to avoid stirring up settled particles. The following innovative features

are included in your Hunter Air Purifier.

• High Particulate Efficiency: The PermaLife® filter will remove 99.5% of

particles as small as 0.5 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

PermaLife® 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 Counter: Filter maintenance is critical to the performance of the air purifier. To help you determine when to change the pre-filter

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

•

Remote Control: This air purier may also

be controlled by the included remote. Using

the remote, you can turn off the air purier or

change the speed to Sleep, Active, or Turbo Clean.

Dust and other irritants are pulled into the air purification system by the fan. The pre-filters on each side of the unit 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 are captured by the PermaLife® filter. The pre-filter then captures any remaining particles and reduces odors before air is emitted back into the room. Up to 99.95% of particles as small as .5 microns can be captured. The ionizer charges any remaining particles causing them to clump together and fall to the floor or surface where they can be removed by cleaning. Clean, purified air is then released into the room through the side grill. (Figure 7.)

Pre-Filter

The Pre-Filters, Carbon Odor Filter, and PERMAlife Filter are critical to the proper operation of the Air Purifier. To help you know when to clean and change the filters, your Hunter Air Purifier has Filter Life Counters that will monitor the life of your filter. Although the exact life of the filters depends on the environment, the table below gives typical usage times of the filters.

FILTER REPLACEMENT

Filter Type Typical Usage

PERMAlife Filter 2800 hours

Pre-Filter/Carbon Filter 1400 hours

The values of the 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 life, reset the Filter Life Counters each time the filters are changed or cleaned. Refer to “Cleaning the Carbon/ Pre-Filters” or “Cleaning the PERMAlife Filter” sections for instructions on how to reset the counters.

NOTE: To avoid the risk of electric shock, the

unit should be unplugged before cleaning.

1. Clean the outside of the unit with a soft, 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.

When the PERMAlife Filter Life Counter reaches “00%” (approximately 6 months of use), you should

check the filter to see if it needs to be cleaned. The proper time to clean the filter depends on usage and the environment. Generally, 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 Life Counter:

1. First, turn off and unplug the Air Purifier.

2. Next, remove the Front Grill. Place your

fingers under the Grill Release Handle and pull up. Refer to Figures 10. and 11.

CLEANING THE PERMALIFE FILTER

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

CLEANING THE CARBON/PREFILTERS

When the Pre-Filter exceeds 1400 hours, the Pre-Filter indicator will flash “00%” as a reminder that you should

clean the Pre-Filter and change the Carbon Odor Filter. To maintain proper odor-removing capability and overall filtration performance, the Pre-filters should be cleaned and the Carbon Odor filters replaced every 1400 hours (approximately 3 months of use). If necessary, clean the pre-filter and change the odor filter more often.

To clean the Pre-Filters, Change the Carbon Odor Filter, and reset the Pre-Filters & Carbon Odor Filter Life Counter:

1. First, turn off and unplug the Air Purifier.

2. Next, remove the front grill. Refer to Figs.

3 and 4.

3. Remove the Pre-Filters. Refer to Figure 2.

of the Front Grill with four hook-and-pile fasteners. Peel off the old Carbon Odor Filter.

5. If needed, use a soft damp cloth to wipe off

the Front Grill. Gently press a new filter into place.

6. Place the Front Grill back onto the unit.

7. Plug in the Air Purifier.

8. To reset the Pre-Filters & Carbon Odor

Filter Life Counter to zero, press and hold the Pre-Filters & Carbon Odor Filter Reset Key for 3 seconds. When the display shows 100%, release the Key. The Counter is now reset.
