outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact qualified personnel
to install the proper outlet. DO NOT try to alter the plug in any way.

> A loose fit between the plug and the AC outlet (receptacle)

may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Contact a
qualified electrician to replace loose or worn receptacles.

DO NOT use this product with any solid-state speed control device.

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your choice of the Kenmore HEPA Air Cleaner.
We highly 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 outside air. Portable air cleaners
are much more effective in rooms where all doors and windows
are closed

HOW IT WORKS

The air cleaner has a two-stage filtering system. The first
stage is a charcoal pre-filter. The second stage is the
HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arrestor) 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 convenient reminders when to
change the filters.

SETUP
Your Air Cleaner was thoroughly inspected and tested at the

factory prior to packaging. Visually inspect it upon removal
from its box. Remove and discard any packaging material.
Return the unit if it shows any signs of damage or mishandling.

Upon starting your Air Cleaner, set the Pre-filter Calendar Wheel
ahead 3 months and the HEPA Filter Change Calendar Wheel
ahead 12 months to remind you when the next filter replacement
is needed.

______________________________________

ELECTRICAL HOOKUP

Plug the Air Cleaner into a polarized 120-Volt AC wall outlet.

AwARNING; To avoid the risk of fire or electric shock hazard, the

Air Cleaner should ONLY be plugged into a polarized 120-Volt AC outlet.

OPERATION

A CAUTION! NEVER operate the Air Cleaner without the

HEPA filter properly installed. Permanent motor damage could result.

Each time you start the Air Cleaner, it is a good idea to run it
at Turbo speed for a few seconds. Then set it HI, MED or LO
as desired.

FILTER CHANGE SCHEDULE

' Pre-Filter: The pre-filter should be changed every three (3)

months or sooner, depending upon the level of the room's
air contaminants and the frequency of use.

’ HERA Filter; The usable lifetime of the HEPA filter is

1 - 3 years, depending upon the level of the room's
air contaminants and the frequency of use. The air volume
output will begin to decrease dramatically when the filter
needs to be changed. You should have a spare filter
available for later replacement.
