recommend that you operate the Air Cleaner 24 hours a day, because indoor air
can be quickly contaminated by activity or objects in a room and infiltration of

doors and windows are closed.

pre-filter.The second stage is the HEPA(High Efficiency ParticulateArrestor) filter,
Room air is drawn into the Air Cleaner through the Air Intake Grille and passes
through the filters.The filtered air is released from the top of the unit and is
dispersed upwards into the room.

Two Filter Change Calendar Wheels are provided on the Air Cleaner control panel
to serve as a convenient reminder when to change the filters°
