WARNING! To avoid the risk of electric shock

hazard, the Cleanable HEPA-Type Air Cleaner
should ONLY be plugged into a properly
grounded 3-prong, 120-volt AC outlet.

CAUTION: NEVER operate the Cleanable
HEPA-Type Air Cleaner until it is completely and

fully assembled. Permanent damage could result
to the motors and controls.

HOW IT WORKS
This Air Cleaner is equipped with a three stage cleaning system that utilizes

a charcoal pre-filter, Cleanable HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arrestor)-

Type Filter and ionizer.

Room air is drawn into the air cleaner through the air intake grille and passes
through the filters:

The charcoal pre-filter attracts larger and odor producing particles and
prevents them from passing into the Cleanable HEPA-Type filter.

Finer particles not trapped by the charcoal pre-filter are captured by the
Cleanable HEPA-Type filter.

The filtered air is then released from the front of the unit and dispersed
outward into the room. The Ionizer, when turned ON, adds negative ions to
the exiting stream of clean air. This function provides additional air freshening
and revitalization (See Fig. 1).

MAINTENANCE

CLEANABLE HEPA=TYPE FILTER
CLEAN / PRE=FILTER CHANGE SCHEDULE

Your air cleaner also has built-in reminders to let you know when to change
the charcoal pre-filter and when to clean HEPA-Type filter.

The charcoal pre-filter will need to be replaced and the H EPA-Type filter will
need to be cleaned periodically in order to allow the air cleaner to operate at
peak efficiency. The frequency of charcoal pre-filter replacement and HEPA-

Type filter cleaning will depend on the environment in which the air cleaner is
used. LED lights on the control panel will alert the user when to change the
charcoal pre-filter and clean the HEPA-Type filter.

After running approximately 14 weeks, 24 hours a day, the LED light below
Clean HEPA-Type filter will light up and a short beep will follow reminding you
the HEPA-Type filter should be cleaned.

After running approximately 8 weeks, 24 hours a day, the LED light below
Change Pre-filter will light up and a short beep will follow reminding you the
charcoal pre-filter should be replaced.

Please note that these pre-set cleaning and changing schedules are based
on factory recommended times under normal use. The HEPA-Type filter may
need to be cleaned or the charcoal pre-filter may need to be replaced earlier
depending on the environment. You should occasionally give the pre-filter a

visual check.
