• Do not repair or modify the unit unless

specifically recommended in this manual

All other repairs should be completed by a

qualified technician.

• The plug for this unit is polarized with one blade wider than the other. Do not force

the plug into an electrical outlet, Do not alter the plug in any way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse the plug. if it

still does not fit, contact a qualified techni- cian to instal! a proper outlet.

o Do not use if the power cord or plug is

, Use AC 120V only. o Do not damage, break, forcefully bend,

pull, twist, bundle, coat, pinch, or place heavy objects on the power cord.

° Periodically remove dust from the power

plug. This will reduce the risk of shock due

to humidity build up.

° tf the power plug is damaged, it must be

replaced by the manufacturer or a quali- fied technician°

• Remove the power plug from the outlet

before cleaning the unit. When removing

the power plug, grasp by holding the plug

itself, never hold by the cord.

° Remove the power plug from the outlet

when not in use.

• Do not handle the power plug with wet hands_

• Do not operate the unit when using indoor

smoke-generating insecticides.

, Do not clean unit with benzene or paint

thinner. Do not spray insecticides on the unit.

• Do not use the unit where it is humid or

where the unit may become wet, such as

in a bathroom.

• Do not insert fingers or foreign objects

into the air intake or outlet.

° Do not use the unit near flammable

gases. Do not use near cigarettes, in-

cense, or other spark-creating items.

° Unit will not remove carbon monoxide

emitted from heating appliances or other sources.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS FOR USING YOUR AIR CLEANER

° Do not block the intake or outlet vents_

• Do not use near hot objects, such as a stove.

° Do not use where the unit may come into

contact with steam.

° Do not use the unit on its side.

• Keep away from products that generate

oily residue, such as a deep fryer.

° Do not use detergent to clean the uniL

° Do not operate without a filter. ° Do not wash and reuse the True HEPA

Filter or the Carbon Pre-Filter.

° Hold the handle on the back of the unit to

transport°

• Do not hold by the front panel.

,_ CAUTION: Fully assemble air filter before using (See Air Cleaner Set-Up on

following page)° Note: Features vary according to model

. Quiet Operation

This Kenmore air cleaner has a four-

speed fan with quiet operation that is ideal for nighttime.

, Air Quality Sensor

This Kenmore air cleaner has an AIR QUALITY sensor that detects the presence

of various pollutants in the air. The unit automatically increases fan speed to

clean more air volume and remove the impurities quickly.

- Light Sensor The built-in light sensor detects when the

room is dark and automatically dims the lights of the control panel and lowers the

fan speed for quiet and energy-efficient operation_ Once the room is dark, the light sensor will keep the lights dim, and not allow the fan to increase speed despite

what the AIR QUALITY sensor detects.

• Multi-Stage Cleaning The air passes through multiple stages of

cleaning before returning to the room.

• PlasmaWave TM Technology PlasmaWave TM Technology uses a strong

corona discharge to attack pollutants at

the molecular level.

• Sanitized TM Treated Carbon Pro-Filter

The Carbon Pro-Filter collects large particles, such as dust, pet hair, and lint.

it absorbs odor-causing gases, such as

those caused by cigarette smoke, organic decay, and cooking, and is treated with Sanitize TM to effectively

reduce the development of bacteria and fungi° For best performance, replace

every three months,

True HEPA Filter

Captures 99.99% of parlicles and impurities as small as

0.3 microns, including smoke, dust, pollen, and other allergens. Replace

when the CHECK FILTER indicator light turns on.

Advanced PlasmaWave TM Technology

PlasmaWave TM uses a strong corona discharge tobreak apartairbornepollutantsat the molecular level

In a fraction of a second,PtasmaWave TM combineswithnaturally occurringwater molecules in the air (H20) tocreate blltions ofHydroxylRadk_l molecules (OH).

OH isan unstablemoleculethatseeks equilibriumbystealinghydrogenatoms from adjacent moleculescontaininghydrogen(thepollutants),therebyreformingthem intoharmless molecules of water,carbondioxide,and otheracceptablemolecules.

The resul!is a measurable reductionof pollutants alter the airpassesthroughthe Plasma Generator(PlasmaWaveT"_).

By reformingmolecules,PlasmaWave TM technology can reduceodors, as well as VOCs (chemical vapors). It is also effectlve at reductngairbornemicroorganisms--bacteria and viruses.

The PtasmaWaveTM technologyisharmless and theOH molecule only lives for a nanosecond whineit reforms surrounding molecules. Most importantly--unlike old styleiontechnology-- PlasmaWave TM does not produce high levels of ozone as a by-product.

When combinedwith a fan-and-filter air-cleaning system, PtasmaWaveTM offers an effective and efficientway of cleaning the air of unwanted pollutantsincludingdust, smoke, and pollen, aswell

asVOCs, allergens,micro-organisms, and odors°

A, AIR QUALITY SENSOR: Automatically

monitors the air quality level and adjusts fan speed accordingly+

B. CHECK FILTER INDICATOR: The indi-

cator will signal when to replace the True HEPA Filter,

C. RESET FILTER: Resets the CHECK

FILTER indicator light.

D. AUTO: Changes the fan speed to AUTO. E. PLASMA INDICATOR: Displays the

PLASMA activity. (See page 2 for PtasmaWave TM Technology)

AUTOMATIC OPERATION: When in AUTO mode, the air cleaner will automati +

cally sense the amount of impurities in the air and adjust the fan speed accordingly_

When the unit is first turned on itwill default to AUTO mode°

R AIR QUALITY LEVEL INDICATOR:

Displays the current quality of the air.

G. FAN SPEED INDICATOR:

Displays current fan speed setting.

H, FAN SPEED: Once the machine is on

and inAUTO mode, switch to manual operation by pressing FAN SPEED

button on the unit.

J. POWER BUTTON: Turns the unit on

and off.

K. LIGHT SENSOR: When in AUTO mode,

this keeps the control panel lights dim and will not allow the fan to increase

above QUIET speed when the room is dark.

, QUIET, MEDIUM, HIGH: These levels are

recommended for standard, daytime use. HIGH wilt activate aulomatically when

sensors detect high levels of impurities in the air. QUIET, the lowest setting, is the energy saving mode.

MANUAL OPERATION (Adjusting the

fan speed): Once the unit is on, switch to

manual operation by pressing the UP & DOWN arrow buttons on the remote control

or the FAN SPEED button_ Once in manual operation, the fan speed will not aulomati-

calty adjust to the air quality or light level.

oTURBO: The TURBO level, the highest

fan speed, can be activated manua!ly for maximum air circulation+ The TURBO

tevel will not automatically activate+

AIR QUALITYSENSOR:Theair quality

sensor displays five levels of impurities

in the air_If the unit is set to automatic

operation, the air quality sensor will adjust fan speeds according to the air quality; fan speed will decrease as air quality improves_

The AIR QUALITY sensor responds to cigarette smoke and pet odors, as well as

other contaminants, such as insecticides, cosmelics, and alcohol or aerosol sprays°

The AIR QUALITY LEVEL indicator shows three colors: blue, orange, and red° The

blue light indicates clean air, the orange light indicates unclean air, and the red light

indicates very unclean air. If the unit is set

to automatic operation, it will change fan

speeds to compensate for different levels of air pollution°
