GETTING TO KNOW YOUR
HEPA 100 AIR CLEANING SYSTEM

HOW YOUR FILTERING SYSTEM OPERATES:
Dirt, dust, pollen and smoke particulate-laden air is forced

through our thr'_--_stage filteringsystem, including the ionizer,
before it leaves the air cleaner.

Stage 1" Charcoal Pre-filter - Helps remove odors and
harmful gases.

Stage 2" HEPA Filter - The HEPA filter will remove pollen
and most other airborne particulates that affect people
who suffer from allergies and upper respiratory problems.

Stage 3" Elecb-onic IONIZER - Prior to exiting the air

cleaner, the air is exposed to an IONIZER which places
a negative charge on any remaining airborne particles.

The negative charge given to these particulates

enables them to be trapped more easily when they
pass through the system again. A further benefit of

the IONIZER is that it enhances indoor air "freshness".
