How the Air Cleaner Works
Getting Started
Four Stages to Cleaner, Fresher Air
The air cleaner fan circulates room air through tl_e unit's
Our different processing stages to help remove pollutants
and household odors.
1=
Large particles like hair and lint are trapped by the
(washable) Pre-Filter.
2.
Smeller particles - dust, smoke, pollen, etc. - pass
through the (washable) Electronic Filter where they
receive an electrical charge.
3,
The charged particles are attracted to a series of
alternately charged aluminum plates, These particles
remain in the Electronic Filter until removed by
washing,
4.
As the final step in the process, air then passes through
a Charcoal Filter that helps remove household odors.
The air cleaner can be use(] in any room in the house or in
any workspace. Be sure to place it so that air can freely
circulate into the back grill and out through the front grill,
The unit should never be placed on soft surfaces such as
beds or sofas; near computers, radios or TV's; or near
sources ot heat (such as stove tops or ovens). If placing
the back grill against the wall, allow at least 6-8 inches
clearance,
Carefully remove the unit from the protective carton and the
plastic bag coveting the unit. Remove the Filter Access
Cover. Using the filter handle, remove the Electronic Filter
from the cabinet and remove the plastic bag covering
the Charcoal Filter, Return the Charcoal Filter back in its
original position in the Electronic Filter, Install the Electronic
Filter in the air cleaner and replace the Filter Access Cover.
Your air cleaner is now ready for operation, Plug it into a
standard household electrical outlet. (For your conve-
nience, there is a label on the bottom of the unit indicating
electrical specifications and power consumption.)

Operation
The operation of the unit is very simple. Turn it on by
setting the rotary switch to the desired speed -- High,
Medium, or Whisper Quiet. (Dry is provided to assist in
drying the filters after cleaning.) The Clean Air light (green)
indicates that the filter is on and working properly.
At any of the three performance speeds (High, Medium or
Whisper Quiet ) you can get an extra power boost by
moving the rocker switch on the control panel from the
Normalto the Super Clean position. Although you won't
hear a difference, the Super Clean position can be used to
increase the cleaning efficiency of the unit.
The speed should be set on High for one minute before switching
to the desired speed to initially start-up the unit.
