Before using your Ionic Pro®ionic air purifier, please read the following important information.

First, please look at the “Main Parts” diagram and locate the part labeled A.

These are the collection blades and are a vital part of this amazing ionic air purifying system.

The collection blades are where unhealthy pollutants, allergens, irritants and odors are trapped when the Ionic

ionic air purifier is in proper

Pro working condition and in use.

The Ionic Pro

ionic air purifier is designed to run quietly and requires very little time and effort to maintain in proper working condition. If you hear excessive noise or static coming from your Ionic Pro

ionic air purifier, it generally indicates that the product needs to be cleaned. Turn off your Ionic Pro purifier, unplug the cord and carefully follow the cleaning instructions in the

“CLEANING & MAINTENANCE” section of

this manual.

If the product is still making excessive noise after cleaning and thoroughly drying the collection blades and re-inserting them as described in the

MAINTENANCE” section of this manual,

turn off and unplug the unit. After you have turned off and unplugged

the This movement helps to scrape free particles from the internal ionizing wires. To keep your Ionic Pro

ionic air purifier working properly, it will be necessary to clean the collection blades after every month of use and the internal ionizing wires after every two weeks of use (see“CLEANING & MAINTE-

NANCE” and“DEEP CLEANING” section of this

manual for the proper techniques).

WARNING: After cleaning the collection blades (see “CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE” section) with soap and water, allow at least 24 hours for the collection blades to dry thoroughly before inserting them back into the unit. Water can easily get trapped along the collection blades’ many surfaces and edges and damage could result if there is any moisture on the collection blades. To allow for virtually uninterrupted air purification,

With very little effort, the Ionic Pro®ionic air purifier delivers cleaner, fresher, healthier air to your indoor environments.

Keep your Ionic Pro

ionic air purifier functioning properly by cleaning the collection blades after every month of use as recommended. The internal ionizing wires are an important part of the Ionic Pro®air purifying system and need to be cleaned after every two weeks of use or if your unit starts to make a buzzing noise (see “TO CLEAN IONIZING WIRES” and “DEEP CLEANING” sections).

More frequent cleaning is often required if your Ionic Pro or if you place it in a different location. Exposing your Ionic Pro

COLLECTION BLADES

HELPFUL TIPS: Remember to clean your Ionic Pro®ionic air purifier every month and any time the red CLEAN/FAULT light comes on or whenever you hear your unit begin to make excessive noise.

To Clean the Collection Blades

Turn off and unplug your Ionic Pro®air purifier. Let the unit rest a minute. Next, lift off the removable cap and slide the collection blades out of the top of your Ionic Pro air purifier.

Do not touch the metal blades until after discharging residual electricity by touching blades to an electrical ground such as water pipe or metal faucet. Wipe away the trapped particles collected on the three blades with a slightly damp sponge or cloth. If you use a slightly damp cloth to clean the blades, it is possible the collection blades will be completely dry within two to three hours. Always allow the collection blades to dry thoroughly before resuming use.

ionic

To Clean the Ionizing Wires

The internal ionizing wires need to be cleaned after every two weeks of use. There is a Wire Cleaning Mechanism used to clean the internal ionizing wires which you slide up and down to scrape off particle residue. (see Diagram B of the Operating Panel to locate the Wire Cleaning Mechanism). Lift and lower the Wire Cleaning Mechanism three or four times to thoroughly clean the ionizing wires (see Diagram H).

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS RETURN THE WIRE CLEANING MECHANISM TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RESUME USE OR THE UNIT WILL NOT FUNCTION.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging your Ionic Pro

ionic air purifier, make sure the

collection blades are completely dry and free of all moisture and that your Ionic

Pro

ionic air purifier is turned off and unplugged before attempting to re-insert the

collection blades.

If you have used soap and water to clean the collection blades, wait at least 24 hours to ensure that they are thoroughly dry before re-inserting them into your

Ionic Pro

ionic air purifier.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Deep Cleaning

Noisy functioning (audible loud buzzing sound) is a sign that your Ionic Pro ionic air purifier is overdue for a complete clean-up of the collection blades and the internal ionizing wires. The internal ionizing wires must be kept clean to ensure silent and normal operation.

For deep cleaning, follow both the

“TO CLEAN THE COLLECTION BLADES”

& “TO CLEAN IONIZING WIRES” sections.

IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THE THOROUGHLY CLEANED AND DRIED COLLECTION BLADES ARE PROPERLY INSERTED, THE REMOVABLE CAP IS BACK IN ITS ORIGINAL POSITION, AND THE WIRE CLEANING MECHANISM IS BACK IN ITS ORIGINAL POSITION BEFORE RESUMING USE—OR THE UNIT WILL NOT FUNCTION.

Cleaning External Surfaces

Over time, some particles and dust may accumulate on the external surfaces of your Ionic Pro®ionic air purifier. If this happens, turn off and unplug the unit. Mix one ounce of laundry bleach with five ounces of water and apply sparingly with a sponge to wipe the outer case surfaces. Do not allow water to slip into the internal parts of the Ionic Pro may result in injury to you. Allow the unit to dry for at least 24 hours before resuming use.
